He said he didn’t know where they were, even though he secretly knows. Then on Friday afternoon after school he put back her 2 thing and when he turned around and saw Mrs. Phillips in the doorway, neither spoke. After the silence Mrs. Phillips said she had a surprise for William and she would show it to him on Monday afternoon.
