All summer in a day

Number 1 kicked a soda can that had been on the ground. He let out a sigh. He was at the worst place any kid could ever be. He looked up and rain splashed on his eyes. It was always rain on Venus, the planet the GKND ship had crash on. The sun never came out. He and his team plus a trusting adult, (That helped the GKND), had been living on Venus for 4 years. Number 1 and his team were all 14 yet they could still be a part of the GKND.

Number 1 lost his ballets and fell to the ground getting all wet. He looked up. Jake, not a member of his team, had ran into him.

"Watch it!" he yelled to Number 1. Jake was always being mean to Number 1. Mostly 'cause Number 1 was the only kid who ever got to see the sun, 'Cause he was born on Earth. Jake ran away leaving Number 1 in the rain. Number 1 got up and looked around.

"Please stop," he whispered to the rain.

"Why are you hiding your painting?" the adult asked. (F.Y.I her name was Mary). The kids were painting pictures of what the sun would look like. Some GKND on a different planet had said that the sun was going to show that day on Venus.

"I just … didn't paint it right," Number 1 answered to Mary's question. "As hard I try I can't remember what the sun looked like on Earth."

"Well I think it's great," Mary said to him.

"I guess that proves that you've never seen the sun," Jake said from across the room. All the kids looked at his.

"That's not true!" Jenny yelled. Jenny was this one girl on Number 1's team. She looked a bit like Number 362 but had green hair and skin and wore an orange jump suit. "Number 1's from Earth and earth has there sun shown for 24 hours!"

"Sorry Jenny but I sun shiles around the Earth for 24 hours but it only shines in America for 11 hours," said Mac. Mac was this one kid who came from this planet where kids are smarter than adults. Number 1 liked calling him Mac 'cause he was like a Mac computer that knows everything.

"You know I hate math," jenny said. Number 1 ignored their conversation and kept painting.

"Number 1?" Jenny said and Number 1 looked up at her. "Would you like to see if the sun is coming out?"

"Sure," he answered her. The kids were all looking out the window to see if the rain was stopping.

"Well doesn't look like the rain is stopping-if fact it looks like it's coming down harder!" Jake said walling away from the window. "Isn't that right Mac?"

"Oh yes," Mac said. "Exactly 1.5 harder than an hour ago."

"Show off!" Hogarth said. She was the oldest of the kids and was a girl vision of Number 4. She had never liked Mac 'cause she had always wanted to be smart like him. She had short, blond hair and wore an orange scarf at all times.

"But we still have 2 hours till the sun comes out," Number 1 said. "Maybe it will show."

"Oh yeah I say the sun not going to come out- I say the rain will keep on falling!" Jake said in a mean voice.

"Jake?" Number 1 said. "Why do you hate me?"

"'Cause you think you're so great 'cause you were born on Earth!" Jake yelled pushing Number 1 a bit. Number 1 walked away back to the window.
