Chapter Eight: I've Got a Feeling
"How was your trip?" Mr. Bhandari asked Sav and Alli when they arrived at home.
"It was very educational," Alli answered, "Conner, K.C., and I collected some moths for Conner's collection."
"And how was the trip for you, Sav?" Mr. Bhandari asked, turning to his son.
"It was great. Danny and I worked on some new songs. And enjoyed the fresh air," Sav answered, nodding.
"Sounds like you both had a lot of fun. I'm so glad I agreed to let you both go. It seems like it was a great trip for both of you," Mr. Bhandari said.
Alli went to her room to call Clare, who hadn't been able to convince her parents to let her come on the trip.
"Hey, Dad, can I go to Clare's?" Alli asked.
"Sure, Alli, please be home by 9:00 though. You have school tomorrow," Mr. Bhandari answered.
"Yes, Father," Alli answered, walking out the door. Alli smiled, Johnny's house was on the way to Clare's. With any luck he'd be outside or at least see her walk by. He'd know she would walk back by and be waiting. But she shouldn't get her hopes up. She and Johnny agreed to a secret relationship just hours ago. He probably wouldn't even be home.
As Alli neared Johnny's house, she smiled. Johnny wasn't outside as she walked by but she had a feeling he was watching her anyway.
It takes Alli ten minutes to walk from her house to Clare's. She would just tell Clare she had to be home by 8:30 so maybe she could see Johnny before she had to be home.
When Alli got to Clare's they went straight to Clare's room to hang out. Clare explained that she'd already talked to K.C. about his trip and collecting nocturnal specimens.
"So," Clare said, "How was your trip? K.C. said that you didn't help him and Conner much while collecting moths."
"Yeah, I got bored so went and hung out in my tent. Despite how it sounds, moth collecting is not that exciting," Alli answered.
"I also heard your new nickname. K.C. told me. You're Backwoods Bhandari now, huh?" Clare asked, smiling at Alli.
"Yeah, I'm Backwoods now, but everything is just a rumor. I didn't hook up with anyone in the woods. But I still like Backwoods better than Minor Niner and all the other names I've been called," Alli answered, smiling.
"Uh-huh," Clare said nodding, "So you didn't do anything else exciting last night?"
"No. I just wish you could have been there. The trip would not have been nearly as boring," Alli said.
"I wish I could have been there too, it sounds like it was a fun trip. Maybe I'll convince my parents for the next one."
"I hope so. You would have had a blast."
"What time do you have to be home?"
"I'm supposed to be home by 9:00 since it's a school night, but I'm going to leave around 8:10 so I can be home by 8:30. Maybe earn some brownie points and more freedom from the parental unit."
"I hear that. So what do you want to do for another hour?"
"Let's make popcorn and then we'll find something to do."
Clare stood up and smiled, "Okay."
When Alli left an hour later she walked quickly until she reached the block that Johnny's house was on. As she got closer to his house she noticed a blonde-haired someone sitting on the porch.
Alli smiled, "I knew he'd be out here when I walked back by. Or maybe it's a coincidence. Either way, I'm happy."
