TIME SKIP: LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL

I woke up. It was a Monday morning which meant I would have to go to school. But today was going to be great. It was the last day of school! I literally jumped out of my bed and ran to my shower. I got showered and dressed myself. I ran downstairs and into the kitchen. I had become really familiar with this house. I knew this house and could walk around it blindfolded.

I walked into the kitchen to find Earl cooking breakfast. That had become an everyday thing for this house. Earl always got up early and would cook breakfast for me. Earl and I have grown very close over the months. He always treated me with kindness and respect. I had never been treated like that by any of my other family's. they all treated me horribly. But not Earl, no he was all different from them. He was caring, nice, kind, and all of that stuff. He was a person I could truly call my father, which I do.

"Hey fabio, so what's for breakfast today?" I asked. "Just some French toast." He said. "That sounds great." I said. "So you excited." Earl asked. "You know I am, last day of school, summer vacation, acully spending it with friends. I'm going to have the time of my life." I told him. "I hope so." He said smiling. He got done with cooking and brought me my food. "Thank you." I said. We sat down and ate. We made small talk, until I heard a knock on the door. "Expecting anyone." Earl aske. "No, you?" He shook his head. I got up and made my way to the door. When I opened it I was shocked to see a wolf there switch a United States marine uniform on. "Are you Humphrey?" the wolf asked. "Yah, who are you." "I am a very close friend of McCabe, and he told me a lot about you. And he said if any thing bad was to happen to him for me to tell you." He said with sadness in his voice. "Wh- what happened to him." I asked worried. "He was taken while in action, he is MIA. We don't know if he's dead or not." He said. I was stunned, speechless. My best friend, my brother now he is somewhere maybe dead. "I am sorry." The wolf said as he soluted me. He then turned and left. I closed the door. I then fell to the ground crying.

Earl came rushing to me,"What's wrong he asked." "It's McCabe, he's MIA." I said crying into his chest while he was hugging me. "I'm sorry to hear that, that is horrible, I know how he was like a brother to you." He said comforting me. "Thank you." I said glad he was there to comfort me. He smiled at me,"No problem, now come on its the last day of school. You don't want to be late." He said. I got up graves my school stuff then went to Earls car. I got in were Earl was waiting for me. He pulled out of the driveway and began driving to school. We got there in a couple of minutes and he stopped to drop me off. "Are you going to be ok." He asked. I nodded,"I'll be fine, thank you see you after school." I said as I hugged him and got out.

I walked past wolfs as they all greeted me with hellos. I had become pretty popular over the months since I acully started to socilize. But their was still a group of wolfs that still didn't really liked me. It was Jordan's old group, now led by Alex. They had still tried to pick on me, but luckily I had my friends with me to back me up. I walked up to my group of my main friends, which consisted of David, Andy, Smitty, Garth, Jordan, Lilly, and Kate. "Hey, Humphrey." They said. "Hi I said kind of sadly, which I guess they caught because they looked at me with concern. "Humphrey what's wrong?" Kate asked. I sighed," You all remember McCabe right?" I asked. They nodded. "Yah he was pretty cool and funny." Andy said. They all nodded. "Well you know how he's in the US army right." they nodded. "Well he was reported MIA." I said on the verge of tears agian. They all gasped. "That's teribble, I'm sorry Humphrey." Kate said as she brought me into a hug. "He was like a brother to me." I said. "We know." They said.

"It'll be alright man." Jordan said. Jordan had become a very good friend. At first the others didn't really like him but they soon trusted him and accepted him into our group of friends. He also left his other group of friends, Alex and others, for good. He chose that decision on his own too. He found that they were just as big of jerks as he used to be.

"Thanks you guys, you're always there for me." "That's what friends are for." David said. Just then we heard a voice say,"Oh how preciouse." I rolled my eyes knowing who it was. I turned to see Alex and his friends there. "Why are you here?" David said angrily as my friends started to get in fighting stances. "Guys stand down, I got this." I said. They hesetently backed away. "Hello Alex, how's it been." I said with a smile. "It's been good Humphrey, the same old same old." He said smiling evilly. "Now what are you smiling about?" I asked him. "Oh no reason." He said. He then threw a fast punch, but not fast enough as I dodged it. "Oh come on is that the best you could do." I said mockingly. He got frustrated, and threw another punch which I dodged again. "Oh, to slow." I said. "Whatever your not worth it." He said as he and his group began to walk off.

"See violence never solves anything, just use humor and dont get hit." I told them. "You are the coolest wolf I've ever known Humphrey." Andy said. "Well I try." I said as we shared a laugh.

The bell then went off and we went to class. Today was only going to 11:30 since it was the last day of school. I got to my first class, it was also our only class. The only reason we had to come to school today because it was 'required.' But who cares, this was a time to say good bye to people and talk about what they were going to do over the summer. I talked to a few people but not much.

After a while the time had finally come and school was about to end. '5…4…3…2…1...SCHOOLS OUT.' Everyone yelled as people started running out of class rooms and throwing papers into the air ready to get their summers started. I got outside and was met by my friends. "So you guys coming over to my house today?" I asked. "heck yah we are!" They all screamed. "Awesome, also I'll be singing one of my favorite songs too." I said. They all cheered. We all went our seperate ways and I went to Earls car. I hoped in and he drove home. "Your friends still coming over?" Earl asked. "Yep." I said. "Cool, I'll cook some stuff for treats." He said. "You are the best." I told him.

We arrived home and I rushed to my room to change and Earl went to the kitchen to cook. I changed into my swimming suit and grabbed my guitar. I then went dowstairs. I put a sighn on my door saying just come in. I had invited a lot of wolfs over for the end of year party. I'm guessing about one hundred wolfs that I had gotten to know that included my main friends. I went out back and set up my guitar. I waited and after about a half an hour most of the wolfs showed up. They were all running around, in the pool and having a good time.

I got out my mike and shouted,"How are you all doing tonight." They all cheared. "Well now the only people who have heared me sing was my best friends. This is my first time singing in front of a big crowed so I hope you like. The song Im singing tonight is 'Schools Out' by Alice Cooper…

Well we got no choice

All the girls and boys

Makin' all that noise

'Cause they found new toys

Well we can't salute ya

Can't find a flag

If that don't suit ya

That's a drag

School's out for summer

School's out forever

School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils

No more books

No more teacher's dirty looks

Well we got no class

And we got no principles (principals)

We ain't got no innocence

We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's out for summer

School's out forever

My school's been blown to pieces

No more pencils

No more books

No more teacher's dirty looks

Out for summer

Out 'til fall

We might not come back at all

School's out forever

School's out for summer

School's out with fever

School's out completely

…I finished the song and the crowed went wiled. They loved me. They wanted me to sing more. "I'll sing one more song, then I'm going to join in on the fun." I said as they cheered. "I'm going to sing 'Our time now' by the plain white t's."…

Oh, oh, oh, oh

There will be no rules tonight
If there were we'd break 'em
Nothing's gonna stop us now
Let's get down to it

Nervous hands and anxious smiles
I can feel you breathing
This is right where we belong
Turn up the music

Oh, oh, oh, oh

This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin' a chance for one another
Finally it's our time now

These are the times that we'll remember
Breaking the city's heart together
Finally it's our time now, it's our time now

This is more than just romance
It's an endless summer
I can feel the butterflies
Leading me through it

Take my heart, I'll take your hand
As we're falling under
This is an addiction girl
Let's give in to it

Oh, oh, oh, oh

This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin' a chance for one another
Finally it's our time now

These are the times that we'll remember
Breaking the city's heart together
Finally it's our time now, it's our time now

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, now

It's a dance
Get up, come on brothers
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

This is the dance for all the lovers
Takin' a chance for one another
Finally it's our time now

These are the times that we'll remember
B-b-breaking the city's heart together
Finally it's our time now

It's our time now
(It's our time now)
It's our time now
(It's our time now)

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Finally it's our time now

…I finished that song with even louder cheers. "Thank you all, you are awesome." I said. I then went and put my guitar away. I came back and started to party. We partied for hours on end having a great time, but of corse people had to leave. Everyone started to leave at about 11:00. The only people left were my best friends.

"Well tonight was fun." I said and they all agreed. "Well we better get home." Kate said. Everyone else said they had to go too. We all said our goodbyes and they left. I went inside and said good night to Earl, he said good night back. I went up to my room, plopped down on my bed and fell asleep.
