Chapter 52-The Long Summer-James'

August had begun and with no surprise, Tara had got a letter from (dun dun dun) James!

Hey Cutie,

I was wondering if you wanted to come here for the remainder of the summer? My mum and dad said its okay. You can go to your house for your birthday though, of course. Just I'm reeeeally bored! Send your answer pronto!

Love Jae.

Tara ran downstairs to her Mum and asked her if she could go.

"Yes, you can go but you MUST come back fore your birthday!"

"Yes mum. I won't have to ask you were my backpack is anymore! Its in my closet and I know it for a fact!"

"Do you now?"

"Yes, I remember putting it there after I got back from camping!"

"Well, go get packed."

"Yes mum."

Tara went and got packed. Sure enough, her backpack WASN'T IN HER CLOSET.

'I knew it! MY MUM HIDES MY BACKPACK ON ME!' though Tara.

"MUM!" shrieked Tara.

"Yes dear?"

"Where is my back-pack? I KNOW THAT YOU HIDE IT!"

"It's in your closet."

"No, its not!"

"Yes it is."

"Nu-uh."

"Yeh-huh"

This went on for quite awhile until.

"Fine, I'll show you!" said Padma throwing up her arms.

Padma and Tara went to the closet and, there was indeed, no backpack.

"Well.then I don't know where it is.anyway, since your staying the rest of the summer, why don't you just take your trunk?"

"Oh yea! Good thinking mum! Oh, by the way, I need a new backpack."

Tara got all her school things packed and she was on her way to James'.

She landed in the living room seconds later. James was sitting on the couch deep in thought.

"Hi." Said Tara sitting beside James.

"Hey. How are you?"

"Fine.you?"

"Good."

"What are you thinking about.?"

"Ummm.you, haha."

"I'm flattered."

"You should be!"

"Well, okay then."

James and Tara took her things to the guestroom.

"Lets go bug Amber.that's always fun." Said James.

"Okay! Lets go, I bet you my love for you that Daniel is there!"

"Really? Alright!"

Tara and James went over the Amber's house.

"Hi guys! Amber's in the den." Said Criança. Tara and James made their way to the den.

"I told you so!" said Tara.

Amber and Daniel were sitting on a couch.just.sitting on the couch.kissing! HA!

"LEARN TO KNOCK!" shouted Amber!

"Whoa, easy now. We didn't know we were coming into a room with a kissy kissy couple!" said James.

"Like I said, you should learn to KNOCK!"

"So-rry!" said Tara.

"Well since you are busy, we'll just go!" said James.

"Maybe you should!" said Daniel.

"Fine!" said Tara as both her and James stormed out of the room, and out of the house.

James started laughing as they hopped the fence to his house.

"What's so funny?!"

"They were kissing, hahahaha!"

"And that's funny?"

"Yes."

"We kissed."

"The mistletoe got us though! They were doing it voluntarily."

"So you'll only kiss me if there's a mistletoe?"

"No, I didn't mean that!"

"Why? First Daniel and Amber now you? What's wrong with-" started that but she was interrupted by James who was kissing her.

"I'm sorry James, I'm just, I don't know."

"It's okay, it's okay." Said James embracing her in a hug.
