Hey guys. Just wanted to say thanks to the few who actually are reading this. It means a lot because I worked really hard, but comments are cool. Happy reading!
While the rest of the second grade and all of the third grade, Abby had warmed up to Kelly more and more each day, which pleased Nikki to no end.
Abby had also opened herself up to Jimmy, along with the other girls. They teased Abby everyday about liking Jimmy, and teased Jimmy about liking Abby.
It was the end of the fourth grade for Abby and Nikki. The girls were making all sorts of plans for the upcoming summer, which most included hanging out with Kelly, and picking on Jimmy.
"What else should we do this summer?" A joyous and beaming Abby asked Nikki and Kelly. School was done for the day, and they all sat on Abby's back porch.
"Abby isn't your friends coming up this summer? The ones from the mainland?" Nikki asked and rolled onto her back, stepping on Kelly's full notebook of activities.
"Henry and JD? Yeah they will be here. They can hang out with us too right?" Abby's head shot up at the idea.
"Isn't JD like 2?" Kelly asked. Her back was leaning on the railing, her brown hair falling all over.
"He's six." Abby stated and twirled her hair in between her fingers. Abby was still on the edge from that day's events.
It was recess and the girls were outside playing, watching Jimmy and there knew friend Shane chasing Emma Hodge across the blacktop.
Abby was staring at Jimmy, like she does everyday. She likes watching him run, every so often he trips and looks around, making sure no one saw. But she saw, she always did.
Nikki snapped Abby out of her gaze, snapping her fingers in Abby's face. "Abby! You have to see this!"
Abby watched as Emma fell and Jimmy ran up to her. She smiled, taking note on how kind he was to everyone. But her smile faltered when she saw Jimmy help her up, and receive a kiss on the cheek from Emma.
Abby's brows furrowed and she turned around, walking under the slide, pulling her knees up to her chest. Nikki and Kelly followed and sat Indian style across from Abby.
"I can't believe he did that!" Kelly squealed. She crossed her arms and leaned so she could see what Jimmy and Emma were doing.
"We are never going to talk to him. Or Emma." Nikki said sternly. She also crossed her arms and leaned past the slide to see where the action was.
At the same time, both girls leaned back in and said "Never."
Abby was shaken out of her thoughts when her mother appeared at the glass door. "Abby? There's a boy here to see you. He says he's sorry."
Nikki gasped, "He's here? Sarah he hurt Abby!" She threw her arms up in frustration.
"Well Abby you can give him another shot. What did he do?" Sarah put her hands on her hips, waiting for an answer.
Abby shook her head. She didn't want to think about it. It was too much for her 8 year old mind to comprehend.
"He kissed another girl." Kelly answered for her.
Sarah laughed, "You can still let him apologize for what he's done. And besides, I thought you didn't like Jimmy like that?" Abby's mother smiled and walked towards the front door.
Jimmy came onto the porch, closing the door behind him. "Can we talk?"
Abby nodded and followed him into the middle of the yard. Nikki and Kelly crawled to the edge of the porch, trying to listen.
"Abby why are you mad at me?" Jimmy almost begged. He looked hurt, and it was a surprise for Abby to see him like this.
"I didn't know you liked Emma. You could have told me." Abby crossed her arms and looked at her barefoot.
"Abby!" Jimmy laughed. Yes, he laughed at her. "I don't like Emma. She only kissed me for helping her up. Besides, she likes Jason Marx."
Abby sighed in relief and dragged Jimmy back to the porch with her. Nikki and Kelly sat back on their butts and made room for Jimmy.
He spotted the notebook and picking it up, said, "What are we doing this summer?"
