Title: Catch Me I'm Falling
Author: Dana
Rating: PG
Warnings: Not sure quite yet. If there are any I will put them in the chapter notes.
Summary: It's finally junior year. Adam should be on top of the world. He's captain and has great friends. But someone's trying to ruin it.
Author's note: This is the third fic in the series Surviving High School. Please read Falling Out of Reach and Friends with the Enemy first. If you don't you'll be so confused I won't be able to help you.
Disclaimer: I claim a lot of people in this fic. If you have seen the name in one of the movies, they belong to Disney and Steven Brill. Please don't use any OC unless you email me and I'll think about it.
Notes: Short first chapter. Just a brief catch up from May to September. Blame part of this fic on the fact that I watched the Brat Pack True Hollywood Story. Lots of MD mentions Woohoo! No one's dying in this fic I just happen to love that poem below. And it kinda goes with this I think.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas
Thinking About Summer
I watched my sister Christina and Keith Hawkinson standing near the pond as I put another box in my BMW. Chris was holding Kiley. Anyone who didn't know better might have thought that Kiley was their daughter not Chris's sister. In the span of four months, I've gained a baby sister named Kiley, a sister-in-law named Rhiannon, and a brother-in-law named Keith. Mom and dad keep teasing me about when am I getting married. Like I'm thinking about that. I'm sixteen and am in high school.
Would you believe Keith proposed to Chris birthday? We were sitting there around the table. It almost had a Sixteen Candles movie feel since the day was spent discussing Rhiannon and Jeffrey's wedding. But that evening we were sitting around the table having dinner. There would be cake and presents later. Then Keith stood up, got down on one knee, and proposed to Chris. Who immediately said yes of course. It was a nice ceremony. I was best man. It took place a week after Rhiannon and Jeffrey's wedding.
They are leaving Friday for college. They'll both be going to California State University in Sacramento. They've already found a place to live. Rhiannon and Jeffrey found an apartment in Minneapolis so I'll be able to see them.
"Adam!" My mother called from the doorway. "You are going to be late for school if you don't leave now. You were going to pick up Marcy right?"
I looked at my watch. Whoops! "Yeah I'm leaving right now." I took Kiley from Christina and held her for a second. Then Keith took her so I could hug Chris. Then I shook hands with Keith. "See you in December." I told them.
After hugging my mother I got into the car and drove to pick up Marcy.
