It became increasingly easier for Annie to send Sam and David off to school. Over the next few years, it was a blessing to have them out of the house so that she could do house work, without too many interruptions. Before she knew it, Sam and David were entering high school.
As Sam and David walked out of the house to catch the bus to Glen Oak High School, Annie commented to her husband, "It seems like just yesterday they were starting kindergarten."
"Speaking of starting kindergarten, today is Rachel's first day," Eric said, referring to their granddaughter. Rachel was Lucy and Kevin's first, and so far, only child.
Ten minutes later, Kevin brought Lucy over to the house. Lucy was in tears.
"Luce, what's wrong?" Eric asked as he opened the door.
Between sobs, Lucy replied, "Rachel is already in school! Where did the time go?"
Annie pulled her daughter close. "It will be ok," she said comfortingly. It took another half an hour to completely calm Lucy down.
************** Meanwhile At Glen Oak High School****************
Sam and David sat with their friends in homeroom. The teacher took attendance. She paused after calling our Sam and David's names. "Camden? Is Ruthie your sister?" she asked?"
"Yeah," Sam answered.
"Wonderful!" she exclaimed. "Great. Now we have to live up to yet another teacher's expectations because of Smartie-pants," David muttered in disgust. Ruthie had been Valedictorian last year, and all through their school years, teachers measured them up against her.
After roll call, Sam, David, and their friends Jake, Rob, and Freddy compared their class schedules.
"Dave, we have English together," Freddy said.
"Yeah. And Jake, we both have Algebra with Mr. Step 5th period," David said.
"Rob, who do you have for History?" Sam asked his friend.
"Mr. Murphy," was Rob's reply.
"When?"
"Third period."
"Hey, me too!" Sam exclaimed.
As soon as schedules were compared, Sam went to Health class, David was off to science, Freddy and Jake whet to Phys. Ed., and Jake headed to English class.
When Sam entered his Health class, he scanned the room to look for friends. He saw Mel, a friend from middle school.
"Hey, Mel," Sam called out as he walked towards his friend.
"Hey, Sam. How's it hangin'?"
"Not bad. How was your summer?"
"Alright. I had to work on my uncle's farm for 2 months. What a drag."
"Yeah, sounds like it." The conversation continued until Coach Tharpe the Health and PE instructor cam in. Coach Tharpe sat the class in alphabetical order. Sam ended up sitting next to the new girl, Kelly Fuller.
Wow! She is HOT! Sam thought to himself. He couldn't stop thinking about her and looking at her the rest of the class period. He barely paid any attention to Coach Tharpe.
At lunch, Sam found David, Freddy, Jake, and Rob. "David, you'll never guess who I am sitting next to in Health class," Sam said.
"Lisa Santone?" David asked. Lisa was the girl he had had a crush on ever since 7th grade.
"Nope. Even better," was Sam's reply, "The new girl, Kelly Fuller."
"Man, she is so hot!" Jake exclaimed.
"Yeah she is," Rob agreed.
After lunch, David and Freddy headed to English class together. The teacher, Mrs. Gibbs, put the class into groups of four. Their first assignment as groups was to come up with a list of books they would like to read during the year. David's group members were, Freddy, a girl named Jennifer Lewis, and miracle of all miracles, Lisa Santone. David was so excited. They got into their groups, and David sat across from Lisa and next to Freddy. "Hi Lisa," David said.
"Hi, David. How was your summer?" Lisa asked.
"Good. How was yours?" he replied eagerly.
"Mine was great!"
"I hate to interrupt, but we have an assignment to work on," Jennifer butted in. "Yeah, I guess you're right," Lisa admitted. "So, David, what books do you think we should read?"
"Personally, none," he answered.
"I so agree with you," Lisa said.
"I think we should read Tale of Two Cities," Jennifer said, writing it down.
"What about Catcher in the Rye?" Freddy piped up.
"Catcher in the Rye?" David asked.
"What? My sister, Amy, said it was a good book," he said defensively.
"It is a good book," Jennifer stated. "OK, we have Tale of Two Cities, and Catcher in the Rye. Anything else?"
"Well, How about Sense and Sensibility or Pride and Prejudice?" This came from Lisa. "I like Jane Austin's work," she continued.
As Jennifer wrote both suggestions down, she asked David, "Ok, How about you?"
"Well, if I had to pick one, which I guess I do, I would say Treasure Island."
Freddy interjected, "I loved the Muppets' version of that!" He and David burst out laughing.
"That was a pretty funny movie!" David agreed.
Pretty soon, the class was over. At the end of the day, David and Sam net at their lockers. David told Sam about Lisa being in his English group. Sam told David that Kelly was in his Algebra and science classes. It was a good day for the twins. For once, they were looking forward to going back the next day.
