The boy who was n't there!

today my aunt had come over our house for a tea.
Ali was n't aware his mom was at ours. i offered my aunt that i'll go pick him up today. i went there and was in front of school about 15 minutes the closing time.
after a few minutes they rang the bell and kids started getting out of school and i was checking to find Ali. everyone was gone but i had n't seen him yet. i went and checked inside school too but no sign. i freaked out, everyday his parents pick him up and he never goes home alone. i thought maybe he's passed me by and i have n't seen as all the kids wear the same uniform. i walked or ran the path to their house, maybe he just walked home and i'll see him on the way but i didn't. i went over their house but he was n't there. i knocked on the neighbor's door and a little kid came out, i asked if he's seen Ali today but he had n't. he said let me go and ask our neighbor he goes to the same class with Ali. he went upstairs and luckily he was there. turns out they had let the first graders go a bit earlier today without letting their parents know. not to mention they didn't even answer the phone at school when we called them an hour earlier. irresponsible people...
