Chapter 1- Here, Here
I fiddled with my pencil concentrating on the last question. 3 times the first of three consecutive numbers is 4 more than 2 times the second. A. 9, B. indeterminate, C. 5 or D. none of the above. I studied the question and A and C just seemed like random answers. My teacher always said only two answers were the ones that seemed correct. Fifty/fifty chance. Indeterminate means… oh what does it mean? X can be anything? Sounds about right. I bubbled in B figuring it was my best choice. I went up to my teacher's desk and placed it right in front of him. He leaned back in his chair and grinned at me.
"Did you completely fail Miss Harrison?" He asked me teasingly.
"Not completely." I said and then on cue the bell rang.
"Have a great summer," Mr. Jackson said. "I know I will." He said getting up from his desk and walking out before anyone else did.
I laughed to myself and looked over at my two best friends. "Isn't it sad," Kat began putting her arm around my shoulder. "That the one class we all had together we were on separate sides of the room?" She asked me.
Jamie came on the other side. "Well the first day of school we all sat by each other." He said reminiscing about the past. "Then for some reason he just decided to move us."
"I wonder why?" I said with a laugh.
"Aren't you just bursting with happiness?" Kat asked us. "The summer is here, it is greeting us with warmth and with tans." She said as we walked outside.
"Because you need at tan," I said sarcastically looking at her already brown body. "Look at me; I'm so white I'm practically clear." I stated comparing her golden brown skin to my pearly whiteness.
"Harrison, be honest," Jamie said throwing his hands in the air to add a dramatic affect. "We are through with sophomore year, no more fucking two hours of homework in each class for two whole months." Jamie sighed in relief. "Sleeping in past noon and going downtown everyday with your two best friends." He said putting his arms around me and Kat. "And no having to see high school and the people here for 64 days." He smiled triumphantly, very proud of his little speech.
"Did you write that out and everything?" Kat said mockingly.
"I'll ignore that." Jamie said pushing her aside. "I don't have to see Miss Kelly ever again. Nothing can bring me down."
I rolled my eyes and looked at my two friends. "So what do you guys want to do?" I asked them.
"Let's just go to your place." Kat offered. "We have a whole summer to screw around downtown."
"Sounds good to me," Jamie agreed. "We can watch some crap movie about the perfect guy and how he gets the girl."
I laughed. "You're totally the guy-next-door so you can't say anything."
"Whatever." Jamie said shrugging me off and checking out some girls walking past us. "I'm defiantly looking forward to the summer." He said looking at the bikini tops and short shorts.
"You're such a guy." I said rolling my eyes.
"Thanks for noticing." He said smiling good-naturedly at me.
"Sometimes it's hard to." I said teasingly punching his shoulder.
"Oh that hurts Harrison." He said putting his hand over his heart in mock agony.
I laughed and in a few moments we were at my house. I pushed the key in the lock and we all walked inside. I lounged on the sofa and smiled. "Here is to doing absolutely nothing this summer."
"Here, here." Kat and Jamie chanted.
