Javier was waiting for Kevin at the end of Chapel Street. It was the first day of Middle School. They had found out before that they would be in the same home room, much to their relief. Kevin had memorised their home room number, luckily for Javier because like Kevin he didn't want to turn up late on his first day.
"Ready for this Kev?" asked Javier as he and Kevin got off the bus and walked up the steps to the main entrance to their new school.
"About as ready as I'll ever be" replied Kevin.
They walked into the class room F201. They took the empty desk in the middle of the class, and waited to receive their timetables.
"Hello everyone my name is Mrs Smith and I am going to be your home room teacher this year" Mrs Smith then went around the class handing out the timetables. As soon as Kevin got his he and Javier began comparing their classes. Kevin was taking English, Biology, Law, Geometry, German, Chemistry and for Social Studies he was taking World History. Javier was taking English, P.E, Maths, Biology, German, Physics and for Social Studies, like Kevin he was taking World History. They were in the same classes for English, Biology, German and World History. Also when Javier had Physics Kevin had Chemistry across the corridor from him and when Kevin had Geometry Javier had Maths in the class next door. So overall they could spend most of their days together. Kevin's first lesson of the day was Law, while Javier had P.E they would then meet up in English for second lesson.
Kevin walked into English to find Javier already sitting down at a desk. "So how did P.E go Javi?"
"It was really good, I was wondering. You like running why didn't you take it Kev?"
"Well I always go running anyway so I didn't think I needed to take it and it allowed me to take Law"
"So how did Law go?"
"It's really interesting; I think I am going to really enjoy it" Javier nodded; he thought he was going to enjoy P.E as well.

It was now June of Kevin's and Javier's first year of Middle School. Kevin walked to the end of his Street and met Javier.
"How was your birthday tea your mom made for you?" asked Javier,
"It was really great! Rachel and Alison came over to, it was really nice to see them again" Javier nodded, he knew how much Kevin really missed his sisters even if he wouldn't admit to it and Javier also knew that Kevin was going to miss Penny once she moved out next year, Javier also knew that Kevin was going to miss Penny more than Rachel or Alison even if the age difference between them was five years it came with them being the two youngest. They couldn't believe that their first year was almost over and that they were one more school year away from High school, the next adventure as Kevin had put it.
