WEEKS LATER.

After prom, the whole school was been talking about how I won back Jessica's heart and there was alot of hype around that but after a while it all cooled out and everything was basically back to normal again after a while. School was wrapping upwe had the test, we had the cool parties including the party for going away for Mr. Fabianovski. A lot of the seniors walked for this graduation. But then it was the last day of school and they were handling out the yearbooks. Me and my friends were all in line to get ours. Ralph saw us and caught up.

Ralph: "GUYS! FERN! I can't wait to get wet this summer in the pool. I hate that they moved the pool so far away but we can just bike there or whatever."

Tony: "Actually… You guys are gonna have to go without me." Almost everybody turned to Tony. "I went looking for my bike and I couldnt find it but when I did I saw those garbage guys picking it up. I ran after then and told them it was my bike, but the guy wouldn't hear me and just broke it up and threw it in the back. I guess it was more rusted than i realized…"

Patrick started talking to Tony about something but by then I'd gotten to the front of the line and the lady was handing me my book so i couldnt hear them anymore. I tried to smile at her because Jessica had told me that I didnt smile enough and then I walked a way.

I opened it and it was hit with a wave of memories. All those great moments from the passed year:. The freshmen rally, with me there in the front row. Pictures of the different clubs and the ping pong club was there with me again - im president of that now. A picture of me and my science experiment which was testing to see if crystals had any healing powers on rats. It worked really well, everyone saw a huge difference between the test group and the control group and the teacher was stunned by the result (you could even see it in the picture, lol). And then on another page was an article about Ms Boatright and how she changed, I skimmed the article and it said that while before her students had almost a 0% pass rate, now she has the highest rate of passing students. All but one student passed her class this year, and with my super sleuthe deductive skills i believed I could discover the red herring there. I even saw I was voted 'Most likely to become President', which was cool, and Ben was voted 'Most likely to become Head of the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.'.

Then i heard a voice behind me, "FERN!"

It was a familiar voice but when i turned to look it was someone who i didn't remember from anywhere. The kid handed me his yearbook.

"Hey Fern man I was hoping we could dign each others yearbooks man it was so cool when you won back Jess at prom and you know the rest of the class…" He kept talking after that "kinda lost interest but i just wanted to say it was freakin cool!" And with that he dotted the i in "David Sutter" and haded my book back to me. I couldn't find a pen to sign his book though.

"No pen? No problem." He said with a smile and took his book back. "Don't worry about it. HAKAS, FERN!"

The day went on, a lot of people signed my yearbook. I got a lot of kids, even some teachers, Mr. Armenta wrote me a cool personalized note buit also said he prolly didnt need to write a note since we'll be prolly be seeing each other around this summer." He and my dad really hit it of, and I'm glad that he made a friend.

Before the last bell ended, Raplh ran up to me with his book screaming wildly. "FERN! MAN YOU GOTTA SEE THIS. Try to look up Tony's picture in our yearbook!"

I did that, I flipped to the page with the kids and looked in the "L" section. Anthony Lackey, Tilda Lanster, Paul Lisbon, Xavier Lawrence, Sarah Longhorn, Sarah Longhorn… hang on… I looked at the pictures around Sarah Longhorn, and instead of Tony next to her, they had another picture of Sarah Longhorn.

"TONY GOT SKIPED" Ralph yelped and some spit hit my face. I wiped it away..

"And I got so dressed up for that picture…" Tony said with a sign. He was looking down at his feet, but Patrick was looking up at the ceiling with his eyes closed and hes arms clutching his stomach making loud and rythmic noises because he was laughing so hard.

"Guess that means you need to repeat the ninth grade, T-boy!"

"Guys… no…" Tony mumbled.

Ralph laughed. "And I guess I gotta get Sarah Longhorn's signature twice! LMAO" Ralph laughed.

I smiled to myself and closed my book. It was getting heavy and also dark and I had to get home. But before I left, there was one person I had to find…

"FERN!"

I turned in placed and then she was there to me; it was Jess once again. She was as sweet and beutioful as I have ever seen her, her amber eyes reminded me of my favorite candy, Bit 'O Honey. Her hair was super smooth and soft and creamy. She smiled, and she had the smoothest and whitest teeth I ever saw. She had a nice causal style Her shirt was above her pants and were a really nice blue color with an pattern on looked like she was ready to hit the beach or the club after this. Then again, she looked good in everything. Everyone was wooping and whistling. I faintly heard some strange noises. And it was just then that I realized Jessica isn't the girl of my dreams any more; she's the girl of my reality.

"Hey there, hot stuff." She walked up to me with a smile and pulled me close, letting everyone know that she was taken. "You didn't think you would get away from here without your girlfriends' signature didja?" She cocked her head to the side in a cute way and everyone whooped and whistled. She signed my book and handed it back, she drew some cute small hearts and then one big heart and labelled it's parts. (she knew i would get it, hopefully you guys do too).

"Well, Fern, the year was cool, i finally got a boyfriend, we saved the school, if you make it to the pool, I'll be there for some skinny dipping ;D"

Jess did some blow kisses and i headed home. I didnt ride my bike since dad said something was wrong so i had to walk.

I got into the door and my dad was right there too.

"Haha hey Fern don't look so glum, chum! (if you guessed right, it's another one of me and mmy real dad's inside jokes). I know you've been feeling down because your bike isn't working, but I got you a special graduation present!"

I said to him "dad i only graduated fresh men year"

"Well, that's still a graduation in my books, boyo! Check out what I got/"

He stepped out and then I saw a site that filled me with amazement; it was another bike! But this one was bigger, and it had flaming paint whihc looked super cool and it looked like it had a lot of speeds and the wheels were built for outdoors and indoors. It had a radio down by the water bottle..But actually...hmm..the bike kind of looked familiar...but where?

"Yeah Fern, I was at the community rec center and this bikewas in the lost and found...no one picked it up so i claimed it for my own...well your own sport."

I nodded, but I didn't know my dad went to the gym.

"Yeah, haha, I've started going there more often, your dad's met some new friends in the gym locker room."

Dad was making new friends and was looking out after his health, that's a strong moral that we can all get behind.

"Well sport" he said, putting his hand on my should, "lets selebrate summer with a round of Titanfall"

We sat down on the couch (A/N why do they call it sitting down but then your mom makes you sit up? Makes u think…" and me and my dad had allot of fun.

Well...I guess every good story must have its ending...and I must say this was a great story. High school was nothing like I expected, in more ways than one. Way more ways that one, in fact. But not too many, I don't want to lead you to confusion, that's not me or my style. But I degrees. I made some friends, and got a sweet girl to top it all of like a cherry on an ice cream sunday. I even solved some cases that no other junior sleuthe could have done, like the mystery of the fake fire alarm. But freshman year was only the first year of my high school life and dream. Next time, I'll be a softmore, but that just means I'm gonna have to go harder than ever. And don't worry, I'll be there.
