For him, being popular is the most important thing.
On Monday morning, Jaylin made up his mind not to go to school. He had thought about it all night and couldn't come up with any other solution. He really couldn't go to school on Monday morning. Something terrible happened on Saturday that changed his life.

Now he had to figure out how to convince his mom. It wouldn't be easy to fool his mom; he had to be very careful.
