Chapter 2: Summer Vacation
I anxiously watched the clock slowly tick the last few seconds before summer vacation away… 49…48…47…46… Waiting like all of the other normal teenagers at this school… 39…38…37… 36… 35… Come on! Why can't summer be here faster?!
29…28…27…26… I looked over at Justin and saw him talking to Valerie. Oh! Did I forget to mention they're best friends too? Well, they are…10 …9 …8 …7 …6 …5 …4…3…2…1!!! SUMMER!!!
Everyone jumped out of their desk! Papers went flying everywhere! Summer was finally here! Boys ran up to girls and asked them out to the dance. I waited patiently for someone to ask me… I waited… And waited… and waited a little more…
"Oh my gosh! Danni you will never guess who just asked me to the dance!" Hailey said as she ran up to me. "Who?" I asked as I picked up my backpack. "Taylor!!! AAAAHHH!!!" she screamed. She's had the biggest crush on Taylor for like… ever.
"That's so great Hailey!" I said excitedly. "So who asked you to the Beach Bash?" she asked. The "Beach Bash" was the name of the dance. "No one yet…" I said sadly. Just as I said that, who should walk up, but Jake!
"Hey Danni, you have a date to the Beach Bash yet?" he asked. "Nope, not yet." I said casually. "I was wondering if you'd like to go with me." he said giving me his 'heart melting' smile. I nearly squealed with happiness. "Yes! I'd love to!" I said happily, containing my squealing.
"Great. I'll pick you up at seven." He said. "See ya there." I said. Once he left, I turned to Hailey and we both screamed happily and jumped up and down talking fast. "Geez. You two sure can get crazy over a boy." Valerie said. "Valerie!" I exclaimed. "I didn't even see you there." She shrugged. "It's my specialty. 'Being invisible'." She said sarcastically. We all laughed and headed for the mall. Yeah, we have a mall now. Valerie went with Justin to "Games and More", and Hailey and I went to "HM Clothes and Accessories". Hailey and I had to find the perfect sundress and bikini for this occasion!
***
Hailey got a pink sundress, white flip-flops, and a white bikini with pink polka dots. I got a red sundress, since red looks so good with my tan skin, a black bikini, and black flip-flops. Valerie and Justin got "Zombies Unleashed 5" for the Playbox 3. They said that they would play it at my house while we were at the party. Parties have never been Justin or Val's thing. And zombies have never been mine… yuk!
"We'll whoop their butts with the rocket launcher! I played the demo online so we should breeze through it the first time, and then go through it again!" Valerie said to Justin. "Sounds easy enough" Justin said as he smiled. I shook my head sadly. I would never be able to tell Valerie about Justin's crush on her.
"Hey! You guys want to go get a smoothie?" Hailey asked. "Yeah, but who's turn is it to pay?" I asked. We take turns paying for stuff like smoothies, or lemonade… stuff like that. "It's mine." Justin said as he pulled out his wallet.
We all went to the smoothie shop. I got the blueberry-banana blitz. Hailey got Berry-Cherry. Valerie got Coconut Surprise, and Justin got Tropical Twist. We walked to the nearest table and sat down to drink our smoothies.
"Why are you and Val upset about school being out?" Hailey asked Justin. "I didn't say we weren't happy for summer vacation, I just said that we would miss our teachers." Justin said. "Yeah. I like our teachers, but the chance to stay up late playing video games is awesome!" Valerie agreed. "I surely won't miss them…" I said under my breath.
Once we had finished our smoothies, we headed home. Valerie's dad, Perry, is the doctor here, so she lives next door to the clinic. Hailey's mom owns the "HM Clothes and Accessories" store, which is really popular. It's also known as "HMCA".
"I'm gonna go home and help mom with the new baby plants!" Justin said. He is such a Momma's Boy… "Okay. Hey! Could you take this home for me?" I asked as I handed him my clothes bag. "Sure. Where are you going?" he asked as he took my bag. "I dunno. I'm just gonna go explore. I'll be back for dinner." I said.
His blue-green eyes opened widely with fear. "Just be careful, alright?" he said. I rolled my blue-green eyes and agreed. Once he was out of sight, I ran to the Komona jungle. I watched to make sure he wasn't following me, then I quietly made my way up the first hill.
