Nine

Summer ran up to the school gates to find Tee holding Harry's hand, who had Jeff in his other hand. She looked round the playground she couldn't see Gus anywhere. "Where's Gus?" Summer asked Tee. Tee looked around and then at her watch.

"He is over there, right about... now," she said pointing to the school doors. Summer looked at the door. There stood Gus. His eyes widened but he didn't seem shocked. He picked up his piano bag with his music in and walked over to them.

"Come on," he said slightly annoyed. "We have 23 minutes and 16 seconds to get home before my whole evening is ruined because I can't do piano." Summer bit her lip and looked at her watch. She then glanced at Sapphire.

"In that case we had better run or we won't make it," she bent down and Harry climbed on her back. Summer picked up Sapphire's bag, slung it over her other shoulder that didn't have her bag on and started running down the street with Tee on one side of her and Gus on the other. Sapphire and Harry followed them.

"I'll carry him some of the way if you want," Summer told sapphire over her shoulder. Sapphire smiled at her. Then gasped.

"Haven't we got that art workshop today?" Sapphire asked Tee. Tee looked shocked and nodded.

"It's in half an hour and we won't get there if we go home," Tee replied.

They stopped running. "How about you three go and I'll take Gus back home? I'll tell Mike where you've gone. If Tee will carry your bag as well," Summer suggested. They all agreed that it was a good idea and went their separate ways. Gus and Summer carried on running back to Elm Tree house.

Gus's POV

Summer and I were running down the street. There was 11 minutes and 14 seconds before I had to start my piano practice. 13 seconds, 12 seconds, 11 seconds... Summer smiled at me and I smiled back. She was very friendly. I started to recognise the area and realised we were only a short way from Elm Tree. As we arrived, the door opened and Carmen stood there. She smiled at us and let us pass before going and sitting under the tree. I took my bag into the kitchen and explained the situation to Mike. "Sapphire, Harry and Tee have their first art workshop this evening thanks to Summer, paying for them to go so they have gone to the workshop and will walk back from that later. Summer and I ran from my school to here so I would be back in time for piano practise," I explained. Mike sat down and looked at me, summer picked up a biscuit and bit into it.

"Thanks Gus," Mike told me. "Thanks Summer for bringing him back and for the lessons for the kids."

Summer bit into the pink panther and sat down next to Liam who was smiling at Gus's explanation of what had happened since school had finished. He elbowed her. "Couldn't you have explained that?" he asked jokingly. Summer nodded.

"And with less words," she replied.

A/N: Gus is hard to write as but I hope I have done it alright. Had some help from my cousin who has asperger syndrome so it should show how it is like to have it. Also anything in italics is either someone else's point of view or a memory of summer's. Summer's POV or the storytelling will be in normal.
