I would like to thank all of my GROOVY, WONDERFUL, SPIFFY, NIFTY, EXCEPTIONAL, RAVISHING reviewers who helped me and gave me courage to continue. You guys have no idea how much it means to me when you guys review. It gives me the tinglys in the toes and tummy! I love you peoples! (in a friendly way of course)

P.S. THIS CHAPTER IS OFFICIALLY DEDICATED TO SANDYPANDY WHO WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE KISSING SCENCE! hehe...
----------------------------------------

Summer looked at herself in her full length mirror. It was fifth grade graduation today. And although the Horace Green Elementary School graduating class of 2003 didn't have to wear a cap and gown, the girls had to wear fancy dresses and the boys had to wear tuxes. And Summer was no exception. Her mom had gone out and got her a dress. Although Summer came too. That way she wouldn't have another pink-frilly dress encounter. Her dress was a simple blue spaghetti strap dress.

"Come on Summer! We have to go!" Mrs. Hathaway yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"Coming!" Summer yelled, grabbing her dark blue hoody and putting it over her dress.

"You are NOT wearing that awful thing over your lovely new dress." Mrs. Hathaway said. Summer rolled her eyes but complied.
--------------------------------------------------------------

"And as class factotum I would just like to say, that all of us have had a wonderful fifth grade year. It was…interesting to say the least." Summer said as she noticed Dewey in the back waving.

"Thank you Summer. That was a lovely speech." Miss. Mullins said as Summer sat down in between Eleni and Marta.

"Zack is totally looking at you." Eleni whispered. Summer went to turn her head to the back row at Zack. "Don't look!" Eleni snapped.

"Fine!" Summer huffed.

"And I give you your graduating glass of 2003!" Miss. Mullins said as the students stood up and smiled, and parents took pictures and it was all a happy moment.
--------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Summer." Zack said coming up to her between the pile of students, teachers, and parents.

"Oh, hey Zack. What's up?"

"Nothing. I um. Just wanted to give you this." Zack said, thrusting a gift bag at Summer.

"Geez Zack, thanks. I'm sorry I didn't know you were getting me anything otherwise I would have gotten you something!" Summer said, embarrassed.

"It's okay. I can't imagine how I'm ever going to repay you after you got me that Ramones record, and convincing my parents to let me stay at Horace Green."

"Oh don't mention it. I would do anything for you." Summer said, without thinking. She looked up at Zack. Her cheeks turning bright red.

"You know, I already know you like me, it's not that big of a deal." Zack said.

"R-right." Summer stammered. Looking at her shoes. There was an awkward silence for a moment. Then Zack went to kiss Summer right when she turned her head up. Meaning that they had a terrible nose bump.

"OW!" They both yelped, rubbing their noses. While Summer still had her hand over her nose Zack took it off of her nose and put it in his own. Then he turned his head slightly and kissed Summer quickly on the mouth. Both kids jumped apart quickly. More embarrassed then they thought they would ever be in their entire lives.

"Summer! Come on! We have to go!" Mrs. Hathaway yelled to her daughter.

"I uh got to go." Summer said. "Thank you so much for the gift…and the…other thing."

"I'll see you in September!" Zack called. Not noticing Dewey coming up to stand next to him, stuffing cake into his mouth.

"sow, you have a cwush on Thwinkerbewl." Dewey said.

"Dude, don't eat with your mouth full." Zack said, shaking his head and laughing.
--------------------------------------------------

Summer opened up the door to her bedroom and threw herself on her bed. Finally summer vacation. No school, no stress and unfortunately, no School of Rock. Dewey had officially cancelled band practice this summer because he said he was going to go on a road trip. And not only that but since the band had only played one gig so far, the kids needed to practice and get themselves a little bit more organized.

"What a bummer." Summer said to herself as she sat up and sighed. She reached over to her bed-stand and retrieved Zack's gift. There was a little card on the inside.

Summer,

Hey! Can't believe we actually made it through the 5th grade can you? Anyways, this is something for you to remember me by! Not that you would forget me or anything… well actually I don't know that but I guess you could forget me if you got Alzheimer's at an unusually young age but um anyways…thanks for always putting up with me and the rest of the class for most of the year. But this gift isn't from them, it's from me. Anyways. Hope you like it! See you in September! I hope we have some classes together.

--Zack M.

Inside the bag was a Lion King DVD. Summer smiled.

a/n: wow. It's hard saying goodbye to a fanfic.. Oh well! I have a sequel in the works for you guys. =-) GOODBYE MAN!
