Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar sat silently on top of the monkey bars at the
elementary school. It was hotter then heck and they sat together taking in
the breeze. They all knew about Sandry's choice and tried to cheer her up
all they could.
"Want to do something tomorrow?" Sandry asked, cutting into the silence.
"Sorry. Have to re-paint the house." Tris said gloomily.
"I have to go camping with my foster parents. We need to 'bond'." Daja replied.
"I have to....I have plans. Sorry." Briar said. He felt so guilty and he didn't know why.
"No big. I'll just hang with Sam and Hank." Sandry said a little sad.
"How are the body guards?" Tris asked.
"They are really cool. They're more like brothers."
Daja checked her watch.
"Come on you idiot! This way!!" a lady's voice drifted in the wind.
The four paused and waited.
Then, with a very big boom, the gym of the school burst into flame.
*~*~*~*
After much questioning by the police and a very rough night's sleep, Sandry got up at noon. She showered, got dressed, and then went down to bug Hank and Sam.
"She's alive!" Hank exclaimed in false surprise.
"Very funny. Want to go to a movie today?" Sandry asked.
"I'm game. Which one?" Sam replied.
"Crocodile Hunter!!" Hank suggested.
"Sure." Sandry agreed . "Alright. But you are not wearing that to the theater, young lady." Sam said.
Sandry looked down and her halter top and shorts.
"But it's hot out!" She complained. After seeing his stern look she added, "I'll change if you'll change...the both of you."
"What's wrong with our suits?" Hank asked.
"Hello?! Lets try to look normal here!" she giggled.
"Fine." Hank and Sam said at the same time.
*~*~*~*
Why the heck did Briar ever agree to coming to the movies with HER. Why did they have to go to a Disney Movie? Why did Briar ever get out of bed?
"Wasn't Stitch the cutest?" Megan asked.
"Uh, sure."
"I think you are cuter though."
"Um, thanks?"
"You are so adorable!" she said. She took one of her perfect fingers and poked him in the nose.
The motion nearly made him barf. He should have slept in.
*~*~*~*
Sandry stood there motionless as she watched Briar walk away with the prissy Megan Camble. It figured though. The head cheerleader was with the star quarterback, but this wasn't like Briar, or at least she thought.
"That was a sweet movie!" Hank said with the excitement of a five year old.
Maybe if Sandry just beat Megan up with her cell phone.....
"Earth to Sandry!! Hello Sandry!!" Hank yelled.
"What?" she asked.
"We are going to get the care. Stay here." Sam said.
"Ok."
Sandry stood at the curb. Suddenly someone bumped into her. "Oh! Sorry. I didn't mean to. Are you ok?" a guy asked her.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"I'm Aymery."
"I'm Sandry." She said as they shook hands.
They soon chatted away until Hank came by with the convertible.
She didn't even notice Briar's car drive by.
"Want to do something tomorrow?" Sandry asked, cutting into the silence.
"Sorry. Have to re-paint the house." Tris said gloomily.
"I have to go camping with my foster parents. We need to 'bond'." Daja replied.
