Okay. Listen. This chapter sucks. It blows like a vacuum in reverse. Dude, and I am not kidding. I dont like it at all. Its just a chapter to put between the last chapter and the dance. So dont tell me I didnt warn you. Please dont hurt me ..Im not going to tell you to enjoy it. Im going to tell you to try to endure the pain of the horrible chapter. Okay? Alright. gulp Here you go!!
Testing was in a few weeks and naturally, Summer already started to study. She had only been at Horace Green High School for three weeks and was already labeled Ms. Perfect, Goody Two Shoes, Over Achiever, and all that jazz. Summer sat at a table by herself in the quiet library and poured work all over her. She studied equations, notes, essays, textbooks, and almost anything she could get her hands on that would prepare her for the tests. Just then, it dawned on her that she was supposed to meet Katie, Zack, and Freddy at Freddy's house. Katie and Summer had an English project and Freddy and Zack had a chemistry project. She forgot whose idea it was to go to Freddy's house, but she went along with it anyway. Summer grabbed all her stuff and ran to Freddy's house, which was a good five minutes away.
When Summer got to the door she fixed her hair, smoothed her skirt, and slung her bag over her shoulder. She noticed that the door was slightly opened with a separating crack. She tapped the door soft enough to be able to see her three friends in the living room. Freddy and Katie were cuddling on the couch while Zack was standing in the middle of the room. To her surprise, he appeared to be dancing with an imaginary friend. Summer noticed he was counting his steps as he moved smoothly around the coffee table. She decided to go inside and went in with a slightly loud, "Hey guys!!" Zack stopped suddenly, feeling embarrassed that Summer might've seen him dancing. He scratched that back of his head in frustration and smiled nervously.
"Hey Summer..Just dancing, I mean not dancing. Oh look, a quarter," Zack said attempting to pick up the unrealistic quarter.
Summer giggled and sat down. They separated into their small groups and started to work. Katie and Freddy kept glancing at each other across the table and mouthing words to each other. Zack looked up at them and laughed thinking that they were acting like love struck teenagers, which they were. After an hour went by, both the projects were pretty much finished and Freddy brought in some fish sticks.
"Spazzy, is this the only thing you know how to cook?" Katie said giggling with Summer.
Freddy sat up proudly and replied, "Heck yeah Posh!! I'm a genius when it comes to food."
"Frozen food?" Zack said, raising an eyebrow with a smirk on his face.
Freddy threw a fish stick at him and yelled, "Shut up man!"
Tuesday and Wednesday flew by as fast as you could say "stick-it-to-da-man-iosis". Thursday came around and Gordon got the guts to ask Marta out. All the guys congratulated Gordon who walked proudly. Marta jabbed his side with her elbow. She didn't like being showed off like some trophy. Gordon, being the nice guy he is, apologized and kissed her softly on the cheek. They were on each other like white on rice. Summer, who had to tolerate all the PDA, just watched uncomfortably as the new couple kept whispering during second period. She did her best to block their lovey-dovey sayings and focused on the AP teachers lecture. Summer couldn't help but smile at them, it wasn't their fault they looked so cute together.
Zack saw Summer walking home and decided to walk with her. He got all excited and ran up to her. She was already somewhat far. Summer kicked the soda can that someone inconsiderately left on the ground. She heard someone clear their throat and jumped. To her relief, it was just Zack. He smiled and started to talk.
"Hey Summer, having fun with that.. um.. soda can?" Zack said looking at the can then back at Summer.
Summer laughed, "Hi Zack! Yes this can is very.. entertaining? Haha where are you headed?"
"Wherever you're going- I mean my house?"
"Oh.. um okay. I'm going home too," Summer said as they continued to walk home.
"Summer, you okay? You look a little tense.."
"I'm just a little stressed out a bit about testing, you know how it is."
"Yeah.. But isn't it in a few weeks? You still have a while to go"
Summer sat down on the curb and as Zack sat down next to her, "Yeah I know. But I gotta keep my rep..I think."
"You should calm down sometimes," Zack started to give Summer a back massage.
Summer didn't move away or flinch. She just smiled and said, "I guess you're right.."
The two sat there for a while but had to stop because it was almost night and Zack had to go home. He told Summer that he needed to do some chores when in reality, he had his small dancing lessons with his parents. His dad was being nice for some reason, which totally scared Zack. Its not that being nice is a bad thing, it's just that Zack's dad is always uptight and well, acted like a father. Not a dad, a father. There was a difference in those two in Zack's mind. Zack rushed home and put on the music.
Saturday came quickly as always. If you didn't figure out, Saturday night was the night of the dance. Each of the band members, including groupies, roadies, and security, were nervous, excited, and happy. All the girls met at Alicia's house because Alicia's sister, Tasha, was fixing their hair, make up, etc. All the guys met up at Frankie's house. They didn't have a reason to go ..they just went over there to hang out. Six o'clock came around and the guys walked over to Alicia's house to go pick them up. Mainly because none of them could drive yet because they needed their permit.
Okay. Thats the end of the chapter. I know this chapter sucked like heck. Sorry much. I havent had time for this story so this was kind of like a chapter that filled up the middle of the last chapter and the dance. The next chapter will be the dance, and I hope that it turns out good. So ..review if you like!
