I ran to school. This was awesome!
It had been such a rush, getting the tickets! I had run up there cloaked in night, and got the tickets after dodging Dalton and the teachers.
It was pretty cool, all in all. But I had only been able to scrounge two tickets. I came over to the boys and sat down at my desk.
"Did you get the—"
I put a finger to my lips. "Not here." I pointed at Dalton.
No, no. It wouldn't do for Dalton to catch me now. He had caught a glance of me last night, but I wasn't sure that he knew me.
After school, we went out to the old tree by the soccer field.
"Alright everyone!" I cried. "I only got one extra ticket guys! SO! BOMBS AWAY!"
I threw the papers into the sky. Alan and Tommy leaped to catch as many as they could. But Darren stood stock still and just closed his hands around paper.
Darren smiled and opened his hand.
GOAL!
