Consider this chapter refurbished. I would appreciate it if you guys can shard this. Maybe someone can either assist me or make it better but until then, I'll keep typing. Enjoy! :)
Sheffield institute opened its doors to its students allowing them to walk in and absorb knowledge: trivial or non-trivial. Within the number of student were 4 people, 4 special people waiting for their friend to arrive on time. One of the four was concerned about her whereabouts and her safety while two made a wager causing the 4th to shake her head in disbelief along with the first; however a small grin appeared on their faces acknowledging the fact that their bickering has prospered for so long.
Will Vandom sat in the passenger seat of the minivan reminiscing the events that had took place in the last 13 hours: The celebration of Elyon's surprise party in Heatherfield, the REAL surprise party on meridian, the festivities that took place it was as though it reminded her of a movie somewhere in '97.
When the dawning of the sun occurred and when it was time to return to earth, nighttime has already happened. It felt as though their entered a time zone not from earth. Her mother, Susan Vandom, is unaware of her daughter and her friends' secret career, but will believes its' better that way. Telling her too early can result in her mothers' resentment towards her...or worse.
Stepping out of the minivan. A heartfelt smile appeared on her face as she walk towards her friends a hug them all. Afterwards they walk towards their classrooms, waiting for the semester to end.
Ok, Class. I'm pretty sure all of you are aware of the upcoming time of the year. Now for those of you who are expecting the classic cliché where I ask you all on mid-august to write an essay on "what you did on summer break" scratch that idea out of your heads. Don't worry, I believe this assignment will be simple for most of you but challenging for others. But before I go any further can anyone turn to page 216 and 219 tell me what it symbolizes?
The students did as they're told. And no one had an answer, no one except Taranee Cook. (Granted that others had an had an answer, they were probably to sluggish to answer)
"216 symbolizes Venturing the unknown while 219 symbolized a certain light that's within us waiting to be ignited."
"Correct, miss cook and this assignment can go both ways: You can either create a picture and write an essay regarding its origin and symbolism, or create a scale model with either a written essay or showmanship. And the best part? You have all summer to do either one of these ways. But one of these contain extra credit. And that's something I cannot say to you all. Sorry, kiddos this. But I must advise you to not blow it on the last minute…that means you, Irma.
Irma widen her eyes in shock while the class only snickered, including her friends (especially Cornelia Hale)
The bell rings. Signaling the end of the semester and the beginning of summer. While the students of Sheffield institute made summer agendas, Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin headed towards their local coffee shop and ordered a few cups.
"This assignment might be easy for all of us."
"In what regard?"
"Well for starters, we can either paint a picture or create a scale model that supposed to symbolize a certain topic or subject."
"And that showmanship is considered extra credit."
"Well, while we're discussing about how we're going to celebrate next semesters' mediocrity, let's discuss about this year's summer plans."
"I'm not sure if I will be able to with the restaurant and all."
"Ok, your parents obviously didn't see Chop-Socky child"
"They did, actually. Just not the one with Yaden Swift".
"Figures. But you gotta admit, they were hilarious moments in there. I'm almost applaud that they didn't see that version."
"Maybe my mom and Mr. Collins are planning something as we speak."
"Let me guess: Exotic Hotel? Because if it is you kind of stealing Corny's idea of summer vaycay…and that's ok with me."
"Don't fooking call me corny, bitch. Oh, and FYI my idea is a little different than what you're thinking."
"Really"?
"My parents and I are going to summer camp".
"What kind of camp"?
"It's between Lillian and her parents. Kind of like a surprise".
"I for one would like to point out that there's a slight chance of the summer project being difficult as a Father-Rider"
"Father-What?"
"Father-Rider, it's like a masculine version of…well you know"
"No, I don't".
"It's kind of saying a term that describes our moms, but inverse"
"In layman's terms: it's the word 'mother-bleeper' but for girls"
"Easy!"
"What? All I said was 'bleeper'. Or would you rather prefer me saying Fookmother"
"People can hear you, you know".
"I said it with two 'o's and it's only a bad word in Johannesburg."
"May we PLEASE? Change. The SUBJECT?!"
"Are you Ok?"
"Yeah. Sorry. Overexposure to Trivialities."
"Nothing is trivial"
All five heads turned to the person who Will not only recognized but acknowledged the quote.
"Was that…?"
"Yes, it was. And I would like to point out that he was the inspiration to my muse…well him and Cash of course."
"What are you doing here, Matt?"
"I came to say I'll be back and I'll try to be in touch with you."
"Back from where? And what do you mean be in touch?"
"Whatever place that I can spread my tunes to? My friends and I are planning to travel the road. It just something on my bucket list that I would like to cross out. And as for me being in touch—"
"You're going to drive far away…are you?"
"Don't worry. I'm not leaving it's only for 3 weeks".
"Which adds up to a month."
(Eyebrow raise)
"What? I don't suck at math, Matt."
"I never said you did."
(Laughing)
"Wait…what about the pet shop?"
"Grandpa found a volunteer to watch over them but you're welcome to assist anytime you want."
"Cool. Thanks for the heads-up. You have a safe summer trip."
I will. You and your friends do the same"
"We will."
And with that, Matt Olsen left the coffee shop and the girls continued their discussion…not before a last O-X. it was hard to tell which was longer.
There's an alleyway to the left, it might not pass for a room (which I recommend you two get) But in this case…
(Arm punch)
(Laughter)
The next following hours involved Will and her short journey home. It a taken a while for her mother to rent out a new apartment, but it was worth the wait and oddly enough it was to Will's liking. While opening the door with her new key, Will discovered the apt. room was empty and that there was no one home. The only thing present was a note on the refrigerator:
Will,
I have went to the store to pick up ingredients for Sunday brunch.
Try to tidy up your room after sw-opping the floor.
-mom
Will chuckled at the attempt of her mother constructing a new word. With no time to waste she found a pair of latex gloves, a bucket and mop, and with the assistance of her technopathy, he commanded one of her own mystical JARVI and began sw-opping the floors. It was pleasant to listen to Mandy Moore while at the same time…feel like her. Suddenly the phone rang with the caller ID that read "H"
H: Will, Disc night on Saturday. U in?
W: We'll C.
H: well if U R, pick out something cool.
W: I will. Thnx.
Will had instantly brainstormed ideas for what to bring on disc night: She could pick out a box set from her mother's collection, she could pick out a box set or DVD from her estranged fathers' collection, and she could make a trip to Grievous' Cloak or search online. Suddenly, an idea grew. All she had to do was hope it would work.
There you have it. I shall post the others soon. If you like, comment and add to favorites. If not send a PM to assist me in improvements and/or ask questions.
-A.K.
