I'M STILL WAITING FOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRR… (listening to Reliant K…ain't theys awesome?)
Well, hello! Last chapter sucked, I know, but I had to get the idea across, and ran out of ideas. So la de da de da. Hope you guys who're already outta school are enjoying yourselves…as I wilt in my high school…unable to concentrate on finals...knowing summer school is coming…those of you suffering with me, rock on! Okay, getting political, time to get moving.
It was Friday, but Dash felt like dying. Anything would be better than this. The folded piece of paper in his pocket weighed him down like a sack full of bricks.
A familiar car horn brought Dash back to reality. His mom was in the rental car with Jack-Jack, waiting to take him home.
Just don't tell her, and it'll all be okay. Just be calm. Just be normal… Dash thought as he slowly walked to the car. He hopped into the backseat, next to his baby brother.
Helen started the car and pulled into the street. "So Dash, how was school?"
"Great!" Dash said loudly, jumping in his seat.
"Okaaay," Helen said, a little suspicious of this odd behavior (she's a mother). "What did you do?"
"Nothing much!"
"What did you have for lunch?"
"A-uh…um…a sandwich! Yeah, the sandwich you packed for me!" Immediately, Dash cringed, knowing that hadn't been the correct answer.
"Dash, you bought a school lunch today."
"Heh…right…uh-"
"What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything! I swear she's out of her mind! I haven't done anything bad at all all week! How should I know why she wants to talk to you! (gasp!)" Dash covered his mouth with both hands.
Helen sighed, and she waited until the car was safely halted at a red light before she turned in her seat to look Dash in the eye. "Show me the note."
He hesitated a moment, but Dash grudgingly wrestled the crumpled paper out of his jeans' pocket. He handed it to his mother, who placed the note in her blouse pocket to be read later. Helen sighed again and waited for the light to turn green. It did, and she turned down the street to the high school.
Jack-Jack sneezed. Ka-floomy.
"MOM, HE'S ON FIRE!"
"JUST STAY CALM!"
"THE ROAD, MOM, THE ROAD!"
"WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"Whoa! Watch the hair, Jack-Jack, I just finished growing it all back!"
"I NEED A VACATION!"
Needless to say, Violet was a little bewildered when the family rental car pulled in front of the school looking much more worse for ware than it had that morning. She stood with her friends Kari, Sarah, and Michelle, staring as her mother ran into the building with her brother and what appeared to be something that had recently met a flamethrower. Kari, Sarah, and Michelle each turned to look at Violet.
"Was that your mom, Vi?"
"Uh…" Violet searched her mind for an excuse. "I…I…I-eeee don't think so."
"Funny, that fireball seemed really familiar," Kari said, gazing back in the direction of the smoke.
"Gottagobye!" Violet exclaimed, rushing out of sight. Once she was out of earshot of the three girls, she sighed. "Geez, that coulda been close. Umph!"
"Mph!"
Tony had walked right into Violet. Go figure.
"Oh! Uh, hey Vi! Sorry about that, didn't see you."
You have no idea. "No, my fault."
"Hey, what're you doing over by the buses, anyway? Don't you usually get picked up?"
"Just talking to some friends."
"Oh… well, s-see you tonight, I guess," Tony said, smiling timidly. He began walking to his bus, waving over his shoulder, and ran into a huge senior football player. He blushed violently and Vi had to stifle her laugh as she returned the wave.
"Ahem."
"Whoa!" Violet spun around. Standing not two feet behind her, Dash, Helen, and Jack-Jack. Ain't it her lucky day.
"Busted!" Dash exclaimed.
"Shut up, Twerp!"
"He was cute."
"Mom!"
"Yuck! Mom, don't talk like that! It's gross enough thinking anybody would wanna date Vi without-"
"Dash, be quiet. We still need to talk, remember."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"How long've you two been standing there?"
"Long enough!"
"Dash!"
"Sorry."
"I swear if you guys or Dad do something like this later tonight, I'm gonna-" Violet paused. Gears began to rotate and locks began to click in that head of hers. "OHMYGOSH, IT'S FRIDAY, ISN'T IT!"
"Wow, Vi, breath."
"I'M BREATHING, DON'T I LOOK LIKE I'M BREATHING!"
"Nope."
"WELL I AM!"
"Violet, honey, there's no need to panic."
"I am NOT panicking! You wanna see panicking, I'll show you panicking!"
"Ga ga!"
"Don't you take that tone of voice with me, young man, I am not in the mood! My God, it's Friday and I didn't realize it! What'm I gonna do, what'm I gonna do?" (this is continued. It's probably a good thing Tony's bus left before this whole thing started)
Dash looked casually up at his mother. "She's gonna scream now."
And sure enough… "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Well that was fun. The next chapter's gonna be REALLY fun though! I guarantee. And long! We'll be getting some action back in this story! (does a dance for action scenes and explosions) Now, onto business…(a-he-hem)
