Thursday: Day Four

At lunch Amanda sat on the outside steps with Marty, Karen and Miranda. The school was basically empty besides seniors, Amanda sat between Marty's legs on the stairs and leaned back on him. The warm June sun came down on them as they sat there waiting for the bell to ring so the end of the day would come faster.

"I hate this,"said Miranda,"Why the hell do they even keep us in today?"

"I'm going to the park,"said Amanda standing up.

"What?"asked Karen looking up at her.

"It's sunny out, I have dick all to do here so I'm going to the park to sun tan,"said Amanda,"You guys coming."

"Sure,"said Karen as she got up,"Come you two, you both have nothing to do here. Get up and come with us."

"Fine,"said Marty,"C'mon Miranda." Miranda sighed and got up as well.

"I'm gonna go get my backpack, I'll meet you back here,"said Amanda.

"Okay,"said Marty as they walked into the school and departed from each other to get their stuff. As Amanda walked down the hall she found Harleem walking towards her with another girl in his grade.

"Harleem, you busy?"asked Amanda.

"No, what's up?"asked Harleem.

"We're going to the park to have fun in the sun, there's dick all to do around here,"said Amanda.

"Sure I'm game,"said Harleem.

"Cool, spread the word,"said Amanda. Harleem nodded as Amanda walked down the hall to her locker.

An hour later close to fifty students were sitting around the park in circles or just laying around chatting. Amanda sat with Marty playing a game of S.O.S. well Miranda and Karen lounge reading their magazines.

"I can't believe tomorrow is graduation,"said Marty,"I'll never have to come back to Winslow ever again."

"I know it's gonna be weird,"said Amanda.

"Hey have you and Harry had sex in the class yet?"asked Miranda not bothering to look up from her magazine.

"Pardon?"asked Amanda looking over at her.

"Have you?"asked Karen looking up.

"Ew, I don't need to know that,"said Marty.

"Oh yeah Marty we did it right on your desk,"said Amanda.

"Thank God I don't need to go back to that room,"said Marty.

"Well for your information we didn't,"said Amanda.

"So like is the whole thrill gonna leave after tomorrow?"asked Miranda.

"She still has to hide it from her dad,"said Karen.

"Yeah but that whole teacher student thing is over,"said Miranda.

"So, it'll be nice ya know, to be free to go out in publice and not have to constantly look over my shoulder or lie or any of that,"said Amanda shrugging as she marked an "S" on the paper,"We talked about it and we're gonna maybe tell my dad at the end of summer."

"Why the wait?"asked Marty.

"I dunno, I guess we want to get comfortable with the whole relationship thing all the bullshit gone,"said Amanda.

"Wow wouldn't it be weird if you got pregnant,"said Karen.

"I bet you two would have adorable kids,"said Miranda,"Dark hair, and definately your eyes and nose."

"What if your prengnant right now?"asked Marty.

"Okay number one, no I'm on the shot so no and number two not for a long time,"said Amanda,"And who says we'll ever get to that point."

"Aw, I bet you will you two are so cute together,"said Karen,"You'll get married and have the perfect house and the perfect kids."

"Now that would be a wedding I'd like to be at, her dad walking her up the aisle and having to say he gives her away,"said Marty.

"Who knows knows maybe he'll take it well,"said Miranda shrugging.

"And pigs will fly,"muttered Amanda.

"Hey you could tell him now, here he comes,"said Karen. Amanda looked up to see Steven,her dad and Harry coming towards them. Heads of other students were staring at them and others just didn't care. Biting her lip she smiled up at them as they approached.

"AJ, what is have the school doing here?"asked Scott.

"Enjoying the sun,"said Amanda.

"You do realize you are all you going to be marked absent,"said Steven.

"Yeah, well we know we're here and you know,"said Marty.

"I want you all back in class now,"said Scott.

"Dad, there is nothing to do in class and there's no air conditioning and it's hot, it's the last day of school,"whinned Amanda.

"Well there satill are classes to attend,"said Scott.

"Well I'm not going,"said Amanda shrugging as she went back to her game with Marty.

"We can't really make them go,"said Steven sighing.

"Well I'm going to inform each one of these students they have a choice get back to class or I'm informing their parents personally of why they weren't in class,"said Scott. Steven just shrugged, it was the last day of school and the only reason he had come was to quiet Scott's whining.

"Okay well I'm going back to the school,"said Steven,"Harry?"

"I'm gonna hand out a homework assignment,"said Harry. Amanda's head shot up and to look at him with creased brows.

"I'm joking,"said Harry,"Got a little worried when last class started and no one showed."

"It's not like we were gonna do anything anyways,"said Marty.

"Exactly, just like yesterday,"said Karen.

"Aw c'mon I was going to hold a group singing-along, play some duck duck goose,"said Harry.

"Oh geesh and we really missed out on all of that,"said Amanda sarcastically,"Damn."

"Well if you want to come back,"said Harry,"you guys are more than welcome to come back."

"Think we'll pass,"said Miranda.

"Okay, see you guys tomorrow,"said Harry smiling at Amanda before catching up with Steven.

"Aje, you should go back, he couldn't take his eyes off of you,"said Karen.

"I don't wanna go back to that hell hole,"whinned Amanda.

"But he looked kinda sad you didn't want to go,"said Miranda.

"I know but I have all summer with him, and I don't spend enough time with you guys,"said Amanda.

"Ah she loves us you guys, she really does,"said Marty sarcastically as he jokingly wiped a tear. Amanda shook her head and leaned over to smack him on the side of the head, slowly Marty and her went back to their game and Karen and Miranda went back to their magazines. Slowly within the next hour after three people started to filter away to go home, or to the mall, or to celebrate grad. Around four thirty the four of them decided to make their way to McDonald's, on the way there Amanda looked at her watch, 'less than twenty four hours now'.
