Graduation
Day
By: Zach McGranahan
"Dude,
can you believe that we are gradating Jr. High tomarrow?" Tommy
asked Chuckie over the phone.
"I know it rocks!" Chuckie
said.
"Who are you talking to?" Kimi tried to grab the
phone away from Chuckie.
"Helloo?" Kimi asked
Tommy.
"Hi, honey." Tommy said romanticly.
"How
have you been?" Chuckie grabbed the phone back.
"No time
to chat. We are graduating tomarrow afternoon. We can talk any time
during the summer." Cuckie told Kimi.
"Well if your in
such a hurry, I should let you go." Tommy hung up the phone and
ran into the living room.
"Can I go over to Kimi's for
awhile?" He asked his dad.
"Sure." Stu flipped
threw the newspaper.
"I
had this wicked dream that I wasn't allowed at graduation. It was
really weird." Kimi said to Tommy and Chuckie.
"Funky, I
had that same dream." Tommy exclamed.
"Me to, isn't that
weird?" Chuckie shook his head.
"Yeah." Kimi and
Tommy said at the same time.
"Do you think it means
something?" Kimi asked.
"Probaly not, but don't take any
chances." Tommy replied.
"Oh great! All I need is
another thing to worry about." Chuckie started to pace.
"Oh
great! All I need is another thing to worry about." Chuckie
started to pace.
"Chuckie, you don't have to worry. Nothing
is going to happen." Tommy assured him.
"Are you sure? I
mean, I really don't want to miss my eighth grade graduation."
Chuckie asked the other two.
"Yes! Well maybe about
ninty-five percent sure." Kimi said.
"Yeah, but what
about the other five percent? Huh?" Chuckie started to pace
again.
"It is only a misly five percent, Chuckie." Tommy
grabbed Chuckie's arm, "And would you stop doing
that!"
"Alright, but it's just that what if we do miss
our graduation? What if Phil and Lil go and we are stuck in
detention?" Cuckie asked.
"What is up with the twenty
questions, Chuck?" Tommy wondered.
"I was thinking, what
if Phil and Lil get to go and have all the fon memeroies and we
don't" Chuckie again asked.
"Stop with all the
questions! You have to remember, it was just a dream." Kimi put
her arm around Chuckie.
"That is true, but..." Chuckie
tried to continue, but Tommy interupted,
"Just forget about
the stupid dream! It's not like you had them night after night."
"But
Tommy, I did have them night after night. Even more than that, I have
them every night!" Chuckie cried.
"You did? Now that is
just plan freaky? Kimi said.
"I know that I had it maybe two
or three times, but not every night." Tommy said also.
"What
are we supposed to do, Tommy?" Kimi was now in tears.
"I
don't know. We could try to stay on our best behavior until
graduation night. That might work." Tommy hugged Kimi.
"Ok."
Kimi hugged him back.
"I'll do whatever you say!"
Chuckie went into the other room.
"Is everything alright?"
Tommy asked Kimi.
"Kinda, but what if the dream really did
mean something. Like a vision" Kimi said.
"Can
we please try to forget abot this? I'm going to go back to my house."
He headed for the door.
"Why?" Kimi asked.
"I'm
getting tired. See bright and early tomarrow." Right as the door
shut, Chuckie came back in.
"Where did Tommy go?"
Chuckie asked his sister.
"He went back to his house. I'm
going to go to bed." Kimi went up the stairs.
"What if
Chucie is right?" Tommy asked him self as he laid in bed.
The
next morning, Tommy called the Finster house as soon as he
woke.
"Kimi, I had it again!" He told her.
"You
did?" Kimi asked.
"Yeah, did you or Chuck?" Tommy
asked.
"I did. But i'm not to sure about Chuckie." Kimi
answered.
"Lets hope not." Tommy said.
"Who are
you talking to?" Chuckie asked in the background.
"Tommy."
Kimi replied.
"Let me talk to him!" Chuckie took the
phone from Kimi's ear.
"Tommy, I had the you know what."
Chuckie told his friend.
"The dream?" Tommy
wondered.
"Yes!" Chuckie said.
"So did Kimi and
I. We really need to stop having these. I'm starting to think that
they really do mean something." Tommy said.
"I wonder if
Phil and Lil are having these totally freaky dreams?" Kimi
asked.
"I don't know, but I'm going over there in a little
bit and I'll ask them." Tommy told them.
"Please do.
Bye!" Kimi hung up the phone.
Later on
over at Phil and Lil's house, Tommy asked the question.
"Have
you guys been having these really weird dreams that we're not allowed
to go to graduation?" Tommy asked.
"You've had them
too?" Lil asked.
"Yeah. So has Kimi and Chuckie."
Tommy replied.
"They have?" Phil asked.
"Yes and
now you guys, also. We were starting to think that it all was like a
vision that something was going to happen. Do you guys think that?"
Tommy asked.
"Well I for sure don't!" Phil said.
"Phil
cut it out!" Lil hit him, "You told me the exact same thing
that Tommy just got done saying."
"Fine, yes we do think
that." Phil said.
"Do
you think that it will happen?" Kimi asked as she waited at the
bus stop with her friends.
"I hope not." Tommy said.
They got on the bus.
"Well, we'll soon find out." Phil
said as he found a seat.
"What do you mean by that?" Lil
asked.
"I mean that we'll find out if we can go to graduation
when whe get to school." he explained.
"Oh." Lil
said.
Throughout the begining out the day, the gang watched every
move they made to make sure they don't get in trouble.
"Is
everyone ready for graduation?" Mr. Harti asked.
"Yep!"
the class shouted.
"Well then head down to the cafateria to
get ready." the teacher demanded them. Mr. Harti's class was
dismissed.
"Thank gosh our dream was wrong!" Chuckie
wipped the sweat off of his forehead.
"You can say that
again." Tommy said.
"Thank gosh out dream was wrong."
Chuckie said. Tommy shok his head.
Tommy
and the gang got ready for graduation and got in line.
"Here
we go! We are thirty minutes away from becoming high schoolers!"
Lil said.
"I know, isn't that weird?" Kimi asked.
"Yea!"
Phil said.
"Everyone ready? Lets go!" Mr. Harti lead the
class of 2012 to the stage, "Hello and welcome to the jr. high
graduation and here to give her speach is Nicole Vascerrely."
"Today
we are eighth graders, but tomarrow we are high schoolers." she
began, "We've been through a lot these past years, like when
Lil' Q came to one of the dances or when we went to the musem and
Sean got lost. But now we are starting a new chapter in our lives.
New pages for new events, like our drivers lisenes. So put the past
behind you and get ready for the future."
"Good job
Nicole!" Mr. Harti said, "Here's to the class of 2012! Good
luck!"
"We
did it! We were able to go to our 8th grade graduation." Tommy
said.
"I'm never believeing another dream I have for along
time." Chuckie said. The gang hugged in laughter.
