Chapter 4
4 More Hours
Val looked over at Caitie and Jamie as the four walked back to the hotel. They had gone everywhere.
They went to the peir and watched people. They went to Mallory Square and had a blast watching
magicians and going in all the neat stores. It was 11:55 when the teens finally took a break and
realized they had to go back to the hotel.
Caitie was beaming as she held onto Jamie. Val looked a little uncomfortable standing next to
Tyler as the other couple was unaware of anyone but each other. Val glared at them. She didn't want
to feel jealous, but she did anyway. Why couldn't Tyler just be a man and ask her out? Unless...
he didn't want to. Maybe he didn't like her. Maybe he thought she was ugly and fat and annoying.
Val shuddered and tried to think about something else. But it was hard to when the only other
person to talk to was someone you're madly in love with.
The four walked quietly into the hotel room, hoping Miss S. was fast asleep. But she wasn't there
at all. A note from her was on the small table in the corner of the living room. It said:
Hey Kids! Jim and I decided to go to a night club over near Ripley's. Will be back late. It better
be 12:00 or so if you're reading this.! Miss Stevens.
"Go Miss Stevens!" Val giggled.
"Well, do you guys wanna go back out?" Jamie asked. They were free to do whatever they wanted. How
awesome was that!
"Actually, you all can go. I'm so tired. I could just sleep for a month." Caitie yawned. She kissed
Jamie lightly on the cheek and made her way to the second bedroom on the left.
"Me too, you 'men' can go out and watch women or something." Val kidded and followed after Caitie.
"Well, it won't be any fun without Caitie so good night, Ty." Jamie blinked his eye and walked to
his room. Tyler sighed and followed. It was no fun without everyone else.
Val couldn't sleep. It was 3:00 in the morning when Miss Stevens came back and Val was still
wide awake. She stepped out onto the porch, praying Tyler would be out there. It happened to Caitie,
why not her? But Val had no such luck. There wasn't a soul to be seen on the next porch over. Val
shrugged. She hadn't really expected to see the wonderful Tyler anyway.
Val plopped down into the plastic chair. This trip was so much fun. She couldn't believe that they
were leaving tomorrow. It didn't seem fair. She wanted to live in Key West forever. But she couldn't.
She had learned a few things too. Like that fish were an incredible animal and a fish shaped like
a baby hammerhead isn't a baby hammerhead at all. But more important than the learning was
the experience. It was like being an adult, left alone in the coolest place on earth. Everything
in Key West was different and nothing was what you expected.
Val felt herself slipping off to sleep so she trudged inside. She was out before her head even
touched her pillow.
The next morning came quickly. The group only had four more hours left in Key West. Mr. Simms
took them all out to breakfast and then the students talked to marine biologist who lived in Key
West. That took up a good two hours. "Okay all! You have the next 2 hours to yourselves. Then I
want you back at your hotels! We leave then." Mr. Simms announced. Everyone went every which way.
Caitie, Jamie, Val, Tyler and Miss Stevens headed down to the water and then to the light house.
The view left them in awe. The town of Key West lay before them like a little cartoon map. People
were everything. They saw every land mark, every monument there was to see. They took pictures from
every angle and Val snuck one of Caitie and Jamie kissing. Maybe she could put it on their wedding
invitations. She giggled at the thought.
Soon, their two hours were up and they headed back to the bus. Caitie sniffled. It was almost
depressing to leave this place. It had been the best vacation ever!
