Chapter 9: Back to School

Well, it's been 4 weeks since the end of camp. Chad and I have been going out for about 6 weeks. Today is the first day back to school. I'm excited because I get to see Chad, Tawni, Zora, Devon, and Justin again. But I'm upset because I have to do school work again. I was laying on my bed scrolling through the numerous pictures I had taken while I was at camp, one picture stood out among the rest, a picture that Tawni had taken of Chad and I kissing on the beach in front the sunset (Tawni is an amazing photographer) I also had this photo framed on my bedside table. I heard my mom yell, "Allison! Amy! It's time to get ready for school! Let's go!" It was mad dash to the bathroom, I beat Amy there. When I was done in the bathroom, I opened the door to a very angry Amy.

"You're a jerk!" exclaimed my annoying 12 year sister, Amy.

"It's not my fault you're slow!" I responded childishly.

She stuck her tongue out at me. There's so much love in this house. I hope you know I'm being sarcastic.

I got changed and went to my room to do my hair and make-up, when I was done I went to the kitchen to make my lunch. I really tried to avoid my mom, but that really didn't work. She bombarded me questions.

"Are you nervous Allison? Are you excited to see your friends again?" She asked.

"No, I'm not nervous; I don't have reasons to be nervous. Yes! I'm really excited to see my friends again!" I exclaimed excitedly.

Before I knew it, it was time to go. I was ready to go down to the bus stop, but mom made me wait for Amy.

"AMY!! Hurry up!! We're going to miss the bus!!" I yelled.

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" she said as she was racing down the stairs.

We barely made it to the bus stop on time. We stood there for about 30 seconds then the bus pulled up. I just sat down in the bus, the doors were about close, and then I heard someone scream, "WAIT!"

That voice sounded so familiar. Then it hit me.

Chad.

I was right. I saw his goreous blond haired head running for the bus.

Chad was in full view; his brothers were right behind him screaming as well.

Chad ran right into the doors as they were opening. His brothers just stood there looking down at him on the ground and then got on the bus. Chad stood up, brushed himself off and got into the bus as if nothing happened. But people were laughing at him, he looked really upset, but the moment he saw me, his face lit up like a little boy on Christmas. Well, maybe I exaggerated that last statement, but it was pretty close to that. He came over and sat next to me.

"Hey Alli," Chad said happily.

"Hey, nice face plant," I said trying to keep myself from laughing.

"Oh be quiet! That hurt!"

I started laughing, "I'm sorry! But it was funny!"

All of a sudden Justin looked over the seat and said, "I agree with Allison, man. That was hilarious!!"

"Are you guys done yet?" Chad asked.

"No," Justin said, laughing like a hyena, "now I'm done."

"You are so immature!"

"This coming from the guy who's pouting like a 5 year old."

Chad stuck his tongue out at Justin and Justin did the exact same thing right back to Chad.

"Will you guys cut it out? You're acting like a bunch of kindergarteners!" I said.

"He started it!" Chad said, giving me the puppy dog look.

"Oh, come on! Don't go sucking up to your girlfriend! That's not fair! You're guilting her into taking your side!" Justin exclaimed.

"Don't worry Justin. I'm not taking his side," I said.

"Yes! Does that mean you're taking my side?"

"No, I'm not taking anybody's side!"

By this time we had reached the school, I could see Tawni and Zora waiting for me by school doors.

"Chad, go! Off the bus! Now!" I said.

"Pushy, pushy," Chad replied.

When I got off the bus, I ran to Tawni and Zora, nearly running over a few little kids in the process. I literally ran into them. I gave them a huge hug.

"HI!" I screamed at Tawni and Zora as I was hugging them.

"Whoa, Sonny. Tone it down a little we're right here, no need to yell," Zora said.

"Sorry! I'm just so happy to see you guys again!" I exclaimed.

"So what happened on your bus ride this morning?" Tawni asked.

I filled them in about the events that took place on the bus. They laughed when I told them about Chad running into the bus doors. But they didn't believe they would fight over something as stupid as that though. We turned around to see Devon trying to calm them both down.

"Poor Devon," Tawni said. We laughed, linked arms, and walked through the doors of the school. This was going to be a good year.
