Grew Up Too Fast
Chapter
Three
The bus ride to freedom seemed to
take forever. I wasn't sure if it was because there were
twenty more people on the bus, or if it was because I was waiting
for this night. Whatever the reason was, the ten minutes seemed
like hours. Ashley, Abby, Claire and I were sitting in the back
two seats. The last time we would be able to be in the back for a
while.
"Hey, what
kind of pizza do you want?" Ashley said while shaking my
arm. Her zebra cased iPhone was in her other hand.
"Uh,
cheese. With light sauce."
"Jeez,
you're so picky!"
"When it
comes to food, I tend to get this way." Ashley and I began
laughing.
She brought the
phone back up to her ear and began listing the types of pizza we
wanted. "And yes, that's for delivery. Thank you!"
She hung up and her phone was immediately back in her coach
clutch.
"How long
is it going to be?" Abby asked, peering over the bus
seat.
"Like,
thirty minutes. Don't worry, we will be home by then." A
smile grew on her face.
The bus finally
reached our stop, and to honor the last day of school, we all
jumped out of the back. Every year, we have done this, and we
would never stop. As soon as we stepped onto the street, the
warmth of the sun soaked into my skin.
"You
see this?" My pale arm extended, "Never will it be
white again!"
"No
more ghost? Claire said, jokingly.
"Never" I smiled, "I'm going to be a
guido when this summer ends!"
"You
know we are all hanging out, every hour of every day this summer,
right?" Abby told us.
"Oh
of course!" We all said.
