My Response to Bhavanna331's "525,600 Minutes Of Channy" Challenge. This is the chapter for the first word on the list... Summer. Enjoy.

Summer. Times where I can feel the sun in my face and drive with all the windows down, letting the winds twirl my hair. There wasn't a better moment in the year then feeling that first day of heat, not that it gets much colder in California but still.

"Hey Sonny!" The bright blonde Tawni tweeted from behind me. I spun toward her, with a smile practically plastered to my face. "Aren't you excited? Summer break! Four weeks away from work! And I can go to the mall and the beach and…" She rambled on pointlessly. I just nodded and pretended to listen for I was lost in my own fantasy of summer.

"Won't it be great?" Tawni finished.

I tried quickly to recall her last words that would have provided that question but I failed, "Uh yeah!" I said insecurely.

She simply rolled her eyes and gave me a brief goodbye, with a promise that she would call me everyday to report anything and everything.

"Ah!" I seemly spoke to the sunny sky, "Life doesn't get much better." I was engulfed in my own world; you see I will be returning home for summer break. I miss my family like crazy and it's been long since Lucy visited.

"Until I show up." Chad answered my last statement. Like a plague he was always there. Like a dog that follows you home so you decide to keep it then it eat your shoes.

My face sunk and I turned to the three named snob, "What do you want Chad?"

"Ouch, I was just coming over to grace you with my presence." Chad smiled.

"Well I don't want your 'presence'." I hissed. What a lie, I thought. There was nothing I wanted more then his presence, minus the times when he's being a jerk. But even then I kind of like having him around. I must admit it will be strange to be away for break and not have our classic 'fights'.

"Well fine then!" Chad sneered.

"Fine!" I snapped back at the blonde bobble head.

"Good!" He continued to hold the fight.

"Good!" I replied.

"So are we good?" He questioned on queue.

I smiled, "Oh we're beyond good!" And with that I started to walk toward my car.

"Ah Sonny? Wait a second!" I heard Chad call almost desperately. Curiosity was what made me turn back, well at least that's what I had told myself.

"What?"

Chad looked down and then locked eyes with me. I was trapped in his ocean eyes, lost at sea… "I wanted to say goodbye."

I was almost at a loss for words, mostly because he looked so flawless with the sun lightening ever highlight. And his eyes, they were perfect as always…

"Goodbye Chad."

I hope you liked this same part of the series of one-shots yet to come. Have a fantastic day!
