Chapter 2 – Boarding the Bus
Comments from the author: Here we go, chapter two! No further comments from your author, but to say thanks for my first reviewer.
Later that afternoon, I found myself in line on the school issued ski trip. I was in line with my two best friends, Trixie and Spud. I was just finished telling them about my first date with Rose.
"I'm telling you, it was the most perfect first date ever." I gazed. "Until she took off for no reason." I continued, remembering what had happened. "Dude, what's up with the two of you almost always kissing?" Spud asked. "I'm getting impatient about this." He said.
"Yeah, how come whenever you two link up, one of you got to bounce off somewhere?" Trixie asked. "Well, I've got dragon business and Rose always has aerobics or something." I replied, thinking.
Snowballs were coming toward us and we ducked. When we got up, Trixie then started asking, "Umm Jakey… Not to bust your bubble, but if something were to happen between you and Rose, then don't you think it would've happened already?" "Chin up, dude. Maybe you guys can hang out more once aerobics season is over… or dragon season." Spud said, trying to cheer me up.
"That's it, Spud. Dragon season is never going to be over. If I ever want things to happen with Rose, then I have to tell her the truth." I said, moving up. "The truth?" Trixie asked. "Yeah, this weekend I'm telling Rose I'm a dragon." I said. Trixie and Spud then covered my mouth. I saw that we were in the front of the line. I understood why they did it.
"Ah, Mr. Long. I didn't know you were coming on this ski trip. What fun this will be." Professor Rotwood said. I just stared at him for some strange reason. "You have no idea." Trixie said. We ducked down again, and the snowballs that were coming from behind us hit Professor Rotwood.
Before we boarded the bus, Professor Rotwood blamed us for throwing the snowballs. I found it impossible, but then he quickly found out that neighbors who lived only a few blocks away from the school were having a snowball fight.
I felt bad for them because they got detention even though they didn't even go to Millard Fillmore Middle School. I shrugged and sat on a seat in front of Trixie and Spud. I was going to save it for Rose.
