All Of This
Chapter One
Default Chapter
Freddy walked into math class, late as usual. Katie and Summer laughed when they noticed him come in. He shook his head and snared at the two until he took his seat on the other side of the room.
Katie looked back from her seat beside Summer and looked at Freddy. He just kinda sat there, looking at her too, until she quickly looked back at the board and what the teacher was saying.
Freddy blushed inside when she turned away. She always seemed to do that. Look back at him and then just turn away. He never really understood why she'd always do that. He didn't seem to care. Freddy had always thought that Katie was the most beautiful girl at Horace Green.
At lunch, Summer and Zach cuddled together as they ate their lunch. The teachers always frowned upon them, but they didn't care. They were in their eighth grade at Horace Green and they wanted to enjoy the teachers going easy on them while they could.
The gang had grown up, as they were all 13 and just finishing the eighth grade. They'd come a long way since they first started the band. They had a lot of gigs going all the time, and they still seemed to love it, and they were closer than ever.
After school, Katie walked home with Freddy since they lived right down the street from eachother.
They walked up the street, approaching Katie's house.
"Wanna come in and check out my new Zeppelin CD? It's awesome..." Katie asked him.
He hesitated before saying, "Sure.."
They walked inside the house, putting their shoes and back packs in the front hallway. They walked upstairs to Katie's room as she walked over to her CD player and grabbed the case for Freddy to look at.
"Awesome," he said, sitting down on her bed as he looked.
He grabbed his drum sticks that he always left in her room when they'd hang out and play stuff together. He started drumming the beat to the song on the floor.
"Do you ever stop?" she asked him.
"Stop what?" he asked.
"Drumming everywhere and on everything?"
"No.." he said calmly as he went on.
All of a sudden, Katie heard her mom shouting at her from downstairs. She rushed over to her CD played to turn down the music.
"Yeah mom?" she shouted.
"Can you please put the hose in to finish filling up the pool?" she asked.
"Fine!" she said, shutting off her stereo and walking downstairs, Freddy following her.
"So when can we go swimming?" he asked her, hopping down the stairs behind her.
"Probably by Saturday... wanna come over?" she asked.
"Sure!" he said. He couldn't resist swimming. He loved it. He had a pool too, but it wasn't as big as the one she was getting. Maybe it was a slight advantage if it was at Katie's house. And Katie was there.
They walked outside as Katie pulled the hose off of the holder and dragged it over to the pool. It still had the watering connection on it. She knew how to get it off, but she was bored and was looking for something fun to do. She also loved bothering Freddy. What better of a way to bother him than pretend that you don't know how to get a hose to work and spray him with it? There wasn't.
She pretend to fiddle with it and try to get it off. It was only a simple task of twisting it, but she made it look harder.
"Posh, this is no work for you.. step aside."
"Duey really shouldn't have given us nicknames..." she said as she laughed, and pulled it back from him. She fiddled with it some more until,- WOOSH! She drenched Freddy with water.
"Katie! What are you doing!?" he shouted.
"Calm down, Spazzee Magee!" she said as she laughed, and he had to laugh with her.
He grabbed the hose from her, spraying her all over. Then, they had a fight over who would spray who next. They went back and forth until both of them were totally drenched from head to toe and laughing on the ground.
Then, they both noticed that they were just laying there, looking at eachother as water dripped off of their faces. As the moment got weirder and even more uncomfortable, Freddy sat up.
"So, excited for highschool?" he asked.
She sat up, replying, "Yeah... I can't wait for all the new people to meet."
"Yeah, I can't wait for all the girls! They'll be chasing me like crazy. It'll be great..." he said, drifting off to think about it.
That's so like Freddy Jones. To full of himself to function. He bugged Katie so much sometimes, but at others, she felt like he was the best thing in her life. He was her best friend, and he had been since the first grade. They would bug eachother all the time, but then they'd have moments just like that. They'll end up just staring at eachother, then one of them will end the moment and go on with something else and things will be aqward.
Everyone knew that they both liked eachother. It was so obvious. Even when they got into fights, you could tell that they both liked eachother so much. They just... always had.
"Katie!" Summer shouted as she walked around the side of her house, walking beside Zach.
"Hey!" Katie stood up and ran over to her. "What's up?" she asked.
"Nothing. Zach and I just wanted to see what you guys were up to," she said with a smile that she was intending to mean as 'has he made a move?' , 'have you admitted that you are obsessed with eachother yet?'.
"Nothing..." Katie laughed. "We were just filling up the pool and then I killed him in a water fight!" she laughed as she looked at Freddy and he gave her an evil look.
"No way!" he shouted. "I won and you know it!" he laughed as he pushed her and started to tickle her.
"Stop it Freddy! Stop it! Agh!" she laughed as he tickled her around her stomach. Her wet dark brown hair swung around as she tried to get away. Then, she jumped on his back after she chased him and took him down to the ground and started tickling him right back.
"They're pathetic. Is it not too obvious that they like eachother?" Summer laughed as she whispered to Zach.
"I know. We have to do something about it or hopefully they'll do something themselves," he replied back in a low whisper.
"What about the gig we have this weekend?" Summer reminded him. "We have to do something."
"Sure..." he said. Then, they noticed that Freddy and Katie were standing right in front of them looking straight at them.
"What are you guys whispering about?" Katie asked, laughing inside knowing that she knew they were talking about her and Freddy.
"Yeah... don't need to keep us out of everything..." Freddy said as he knudged Zach on the shoulder.
"Oh, we were just talking about the gig this weekend and how much fun it's gonna be. You guys excited?" Summer asked.
"Yeah!" Katie exclaimed. "There's this guy that I talked to at one of our last shows and I gave him tickets to come see this one. I'm so excited to see him! He plays bass too and he said that he'd come over to show me some stuff," she said as she smiled at Summer.
"What's his name?" Zach asked.
"Uhh.. Kyle Ashton," she replied as she smiled.
"Cool... can't wait to meet him!" Summer smiled as she and Zach walked with Katie and Freddy inside.
"Ugh.. you guys can put on the TV or something, I gotta go change into some dry clothes," she said as she started to walk upstairs. "Oh, Freddy, do you want some clothes? You can borrow some of my brothers if you want," she asked.
"Oh, no thanks..." he said quietly and to himself.
"Are you sure?" she asked. "He won't care..."
He just nodded his head in a way of saying 'no'.
She didn't know what was up with him. She just went on upstairs to change.
"Freddy.. what's up with you?" Zach asked as they sat on the couch.
"Nothing.. I'm fine."
"You don't seem like you are! You've never acted like this before..." said Summer as she leaned into Zach's chest and rested her head.
"Look, I'm fine guys. Just forget about it, okay?" he asked.
"Fine-" Zach replied as he backed off and sat with Summer.
Freddy then got up and went to the front door. "Where are you going Magee?" he asked.
"Home. I just remember that I had to do something for my mom," he grabbed his skateboard and his backpack and opened the door, "I'll see ya guys later..." he said as he shut the door behind him.
Just then, Katie walked down the stairs as she looked at the couch and it was only Zach and Summer.
"Where did Freddy go?" she asked them.
"Oh, he left and said that he had to do something..." Summer replied as she held the remote and flipped through the channels. Katie stood there as she could see him skateboarding down the road in a furious way. She wanted to know what was wrong with him. All of sudden, he just started to ignore her and act weird. She wanted to know why, and she would find out.
