EXTRAORDINARY WAY
CHAPTER 4
My last class today is world cultures. I absentmindedly listen to Mr. Gardner's lecture while tapping my finger on my desk. And it seems like I can hear the clock ticking away. I thought about this lunch, when Summer explained those stuff to me. It's Wednesday today and that means she has her student council meeting. That's two hours which means we get out of school at five in the afternoon. Well that could be interesting, since I never been in a S.C. meeting before, but even better because after that she's going to band practice. I felt a pang of excitement as I arranged my stuff. Two more minutes and school is over.
Once again right after the school bell rang, I got a text message, from Summer. Definitely a Pro.
I walked towards the entrance of the school to where she said she'll meet me. Looking at my watch it's exactly three o'one. I stood there holding my sling bag over my left shoulder and a note pad and pen on my other hand. From the corner of my eye I saw Ella waving, I gave her a nod and smile and mouthed 'summer' towards her. She understood right away and climbed up her mom's car. I told Ella that Summer already agreed of me being her assistant. She was sadden that we wouldn't be spending much time together from now on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school, on other days she has soccer practice. But she knew It will keep me busy considering I have nothing to do past three pm every week. So she understand that i want to do this. My train of thoughts was interrupted when an angry Summer appeared behind me.
"You cannot be getting Detentions, do you understand!" Summer said in a stern voice.
I was about to say something when I realized it wasn't me she was referring too. A blonde, spiky haired boy sauntered behind Summer. He had a sort of annoyed-embarrassed look on his face as he scratched the back of his head. Summer continued her nagging, all the while the blonde boy had his hands in his pockets and was staring at his shoes seemingly uncaring to whatever Summer was saying.
"We have two weeks before V-tro, two weeks! And with finals coming up you know we can't afford to lose time." She crossed her arms and the boy swayed back and forth on his heels, hands shoved in his pockets. "And come on, they can't practice without you. It's hard practicing, even if only one member is missing. And You know that." The boy rolled his eyes on that last one, creating a deep scowl on Summer's face. When he sees this he was quick to act on time.
"I get it, okay!" He said, finally releasing his hand from his pockets. "Jeez Tink, relax. It won't happen again." He gave summer a goofy grin, trying to lighten the mood, I think. "Thanks for getting me out of detention. And as for practice, you know we'll get it done in time." This doesn't ease Summer's tension though. She shook her head towards him before turning to face me.
"Sorry, I'm late." She said in a blank expression. I tried to smile hoping her mood would change before we do this thing.
"You're not late, I just arrived earlier than you." I told her, and it work. The corner of her mouth went up.
"Something I'm not use to." An inside joke probably on her behalf. She probably spends time around lazy people. That's funny if it was really the case. But whatever hint of humor was left in Summer, it quickly left her features when she once again turned to look at the blonde boy. Who I realized was now staring at me. I stared back curious at his reaction.
"You, Go. You're already late." She told the boy, whose eyes went back to Summer's. "And you, come with me." I followed right after Summer entered the school but not before catching the blonde boy's curious expression. Summer was a fast pace walker, I had to keep up.
Once we reached the Student council room, Summer and I discussed how thing would go every day during meetings. It's easy, all I had to do was take down notes and schedules that Summer has to remember and there were times that they even counted my reactions in the discussion. I never really gotten to know the student council, but now I know that they really take matters seriously and they care towards the well being of the school. Sometimes you have to see for yourself to believe. The president was impressed that Summer could hire an assistant and was even more impressed when he found out that I was the one who wanted to do it. At exactly five pm, the meeting was dismissed and Summer finally allowed herself to check her phone. Tons of missed calls and messages, all concerning the Band.
"God, these guys can't wait do they?" She said while scrolling through her text messages. Their band is that good? Wow.
"Want me to take care of it next time?" I insisted.
"When you finally get the ropes through this whole thing, maybe." She told me in a serious tone. I chuckled.
"Where to now?" I asked, secretly excited.
"Band practice." She said before exiting the school, again I had to catch up with her.
Finally something interesting happened, tomorrow I'll post the next thing. . mean while why don't you . .
