Chapter Nine:

All the girls came down the staircase. They all looked great. But,

Summer wasn't with them. I was worried that she had bailed on me.

"Where's Summer?" I asked, frantically

"She's coming down last, chill" said Katie

"Ok" I said

Thank god, she didn't bail on me. I tried to walk to the stairs, but

Michelle practically jumped me. She blocked my view and called for

Summer. When she walked down the staircase, all gracefully, I was in

total awe. It wasn't Summer, It was an even more beautiful version of

her.

"Hey Zack" she said, as she reached me

"I...I...I..." I stuttered

"I think he's trying to say, "Lookin' good, babe"" said Freddy

Katie hit Freddy and I glared at him.

"I don't see you trying to compliment Katiem Frederick" I said, angerly

"Sorry and you look great Katie" Freddy said

"You look amazing, Tink" I said

"Thanks" Summer said, blushing

"Let's get goin'" Dewey said

We all walled out of the hotel, to see a huge red limo.

"There's room for all of you in there. Get in" said Dewey

The inside of the limo was great. There was black leather seats and red

walls. I sat next to Summer, Freddy and Katie. The limo started up.

"This is awesome" Katie said

"I know" said Summer

"Were Here" said Dewey

"What? This is only the other end of the hotel!" I said

"I know, we're traveling in class. Come on" said Dewey

We got out of the limo and followed Dewey inside, to a part of the

hotel we've never seen.

"School of Rock" Dewey told a man

"Follow me" the man said

We followed hi and entered a huge dining area. When people saw us they

clapped, we sat at our table.

"Hey everybody" Dewey said, loud enough for they to hear him "Say "Hi"

kids"

"Hi" we all said

A woman walked up to us and waved.

"Hello. Are you ready to perform?" asked the woman

"Yeah" siad Dewey

We walk up onto a huge stage, and grabbed our instruments, which Dewey

must of put there. We stood and smiled at the audience.

"Hey, Time to rock" Dewey siad

We started to play "School of Rock." When we finished everyone cheered.

"Now, We'll let this fine DJ, spin" said Dewey, pointing at the DJ

We got off the stage and sat at our table. The DJ put in "Every Rose

Has It's Thorn" by Guns'n'Roses. Alot of people went to the dance

floor.

"Wanna dance?" I asked Summer

"Yeah" she anwsered

I took her hand and walked her out to the dancefloor, where we started

to slow dance. It was like we connected right then and there. When the

song was done we sat back down.

"You're a good dancer" I said

"Thanks" anwsered Summer

An hour later, we were talking, when a very familer song came on. It

was "Heal Me, I'm Heartsick" by No Vacancy; a very popular song from

like when they won the Battle of the Bands. Summer and I went back to

the dance floor, more connected by the song, 'cause it brought back

memories.

Heal me, i'm heartsick

I'm hungry and i'm broken

I'm haunted, and weeping

Theblood of heaven flowing like a river tonite, tears i can't fight on my own

I'm a haunted, heaving, i'm hung and barely breathing

The drowning ocean, snuff the sun in motion.

Theres a pill on my tongue, a shot from a gun , the bottles bottom

I'm lonely as a star

*Flashback*

"Mr. S, seems cool" said Summer

"Stop being such a suck-up, Hathaway" said Freddy

"I'm not a suck-up...loser" said Summer

"Wow, good insult" said Freddy

"Will you just give it a damn break, Jones. Go fix you're hair or

somthing" I said "Oh, by the way, I don't think you put enough gel in

you're hair today, 'cause it's like sticking up all over, dude"

Freddy got up from his desk and walked away.

"Thanks, Zack" said Summer

"No, prob'" I said

*End Flashback*

Heal me

I'm heart sick

I'm hungry and i'm broken

I'm haunted, and weeping

The blood of heaven flowing like a river tonite

Tears i can't fight on my own

So heal me, i'm heart sick

Hungry, but i can survive on you

Heal my heartsick hungry cries

I'm heartsick

So heal me, i'm heart sick

Hungry, but i can survive on you

Heal my heartsick hungry cries

I'm heartsick

When the song was done, Dewey walked over to us.

"Hey, we have to go. We gotta get up early tommorrow to get to

Minneapolis" said Dewey

"Ok" we both said

Dewey gather up everyone else, we left and got in the lim for our one

minute long ride. When we stopped, everybody got out, went inside and

went upstairs. Summer went to her room, I followed her.

"You can come in" said Summer

We went inside and sat on her bed. I put my head against the bedpost,

Summer leaned against me and put her head on my shoulders.

"Tonight was fun" I said

But Summer didn't anwser. Instead, she leaned up and kissed me full on

on the lips.

"Wow" I said, in awe at what she had just did.

But before Summer could anwser, she fell asleep. I closed my eyes and

listened to her breathing.

"Night, Tink" I said

I slowly fell asleep, too. Knowing when I woke up, she would be with

me.
