“Chrisss!” yelled Ramon. No response.

“Is everything ok,” said Suzy.

“Chris is gone,” said Ramon.

“Where could he have gone?” asked Suzy.

They ran out of the door and Ramon started to head down the street towards a friend’s house.

“Wait!” exclaimed Suzy.

When they got to the house Ramon saw Chris.

“Chris, come here now!” exclaimed Ramon.

Chris started to walk towards them.

“Yes, Dad?” questioned Chris.

“What did I tell you? I told you not to leave the house!” yelled Ramon. “You’re in big trouble young man!”

“Sorry, Dad,” said Chris. “But I’m 15, I am old enough.”

“Now apologize to Suzy for leaving your music so loud,” stated Ramon.

“Sorry,” said Chris.

“It’s ok,” stated Suzy.

“Can we pay it back to you with a lunch,” said Ramon.

“Sure,” answered Suzy.

They walked back home and went straight to bed. The next day they had lunch and they became great friends. After that, Chris was grounded for two weeks.
