To all of the readers,
I am really sorry it took me so long to update. I had softball, chorus concerts, SOLs, major projects, and exams to do. Hopefully I'll be able to update more often now that I get out of school on Thursday. So thank you to all of you who have reviewed. And to those of you that haven't, please? Thanks again!

P.S.~ Is anyone going to go see Reign of Fire when it comes to theatres on July 12th? I know I am!

She was late. She was never late waking the boys up in the morning. She was late. All she remembered was talking to Skittery on the roof and then waking up to a warm New York sun. This day was going to be horrible. Summer could already tell.
Summer, followed by a half awake Skittery, climbed in through the bunkroom window, hoping everyone was still asleep. To prove her statement of her horrible day, she was greeted by Jack at the window. Summer looked passed the newsy to see everyone else up and getting ready.
"Ya know Summer, youse got an obligation to wake us up in da the moinin'. Late nights out on the roof can't keep you from dat. Good t'ing Emmy gets up early anyways, or we would have missed our moinin' papes." Summer opened her mouth as if to say something but then quickly closed it and pushed past Jack to head down stairs. "Oh, so what's dis? Da queen of comebacks doesn't have a clever comeback dis time? Looks like I get da last laugh finally." Jack smirked as Summer stopped in her tracks and turn to face him.
"No, I'm not saying anything because I don't feel like arguing with you this morning. You've already made my life a living hell day in and day out and I don't need another argument to add to it." Summer stood inches from Jack's face as she yelled at him.
"You could always quit 'n' go back to da hole you crawled out of."
"I made a promise to my family, to my grandfather to take care of this place, so I guess you'll have to find some other job first. What was that?" Summer looked around the room to see where the noise had come from. Unbeknownst to the two as they argued, the others had put their plan into action. The others had left Jack and Summer alone in the bunkroom. Figuring they had gone to get their papes, Summer headed towards the closed bunkroom door for the second time that morning. She carefully turned the handle only to find it locked.
"Aw, poor Summer can' open da door."
"No Jack, it's locked."
"Here, let me try." Summer backed away from the door to let Jack prove whatever point he trying to prove. He jimmied the handle forcefully until he realized that Summer was right, for once. "Race, Emerald, so help me if you don't open dis door right now…"
"You'll do what Jack?" Emmy voice came from the other side. "We're not going to let you or Summer out until you can at least be civil to one another."
"Like dat will ever happen."
"Then it looks like the two of you will be in there for a while. Don't try the window, Jack," Jack stopped at Emmy's words. "Mush and Blink are standing right outside of the window and they're defiantly not going to let ya'll out."
Summer pushed Jack out of the way so she could try to talk to Emmy. "Emmy," Summer said sweetly, "please let us out."
"Like she said Summer, we ain't lettin' you out until you can be civil."
"Skittery, Emmy, so help me if you do not let me out right now I will beat the living tar out of the both of you!" Summer screamed as she beat on the wooden door.
"What's that Summer? I can't hear you through this door. I suggest the two of you start getting along because no one wants to put up with y'all continuously arguing with one another. I hope the two of you have a great day together." Emmy's soft footsteps could be heard as she followed Skittery down the stairs.
"Great this is just what I need." Summer fell back onto one of the bunks as she talked.
"Well if it weren't for you, I could be out sellin' right now." Jack followed Summer's idea except he picked a bunk opposite of hers.
"Oh and how is this my fault? You're the one making my life a living hell. You're the one who started this whole mess."
"Well youse the one who came into da lodgin' house with a bitchy attitude and put me down in front of all me friends."
"Well if I remember correctly you left me at the station for four hours. Look, I really don't want to argue with you right now, so why don't you stay on your side of the room."
"That suits me jist fine!"
Summer lay back on the bunk wishing time away. She hoped that the others would come back and let her out soon. After what had seemed like a few hours, Summer took out her pocket watch. It had only been 30 minutes.
Jack on the other hand watched Summer as she tried to get comfortable on the bunk bed. What had he done to end up like this? He usually got along with people, but Summer was different. There was something about that got to him. No matter how much he hated her, there was still that one thing that got to him.
"Summer, how did we get off on da wrong foot?" Jack asked swallowing his pride. Maybe the others were right. Maybe they should at least try to be civil with one another.
"Because you're a bastard."
"I am not! Look, what I meant was you get along great wit every one else. Why are you different to me?"
"Oh you want to know why? I tell you why. Because you are arrogant, selfish, a complete ass, and you remind me of Allan."
