"Keelie! Get up its the last day of
school!" I groan and direct my blurry
vision to my alarm clock. 8:10. Oh
crap I'm ten miutes late! I slip on
some shorts and an AC/DC t-shirt and
run a brush through my short, dirty
blond hair. I grab my phone off the
charger with my back pack and race
down stairs. My mom is holding my
new baby brother, Noah, I give him a
little wave, and inhale my breakfast
burrito. "Did you feed your food to
the dog again?" My mom asks. "Raptor
doesn't even like burritos,
remember?" My rotwieler, Raptor, is a
very picky eater. I check my phone.
8:39. "Holy crap!" I say, and rush out
the door to see the bus pull away. "No!
No wait!" I yell, running after the bus.
But it never stops. "I guess your with
me now," I turn around to see Stevie,
a short, black haired kid who I'm
really good friends with. "I guess I am,
" I yell back. And so I start walking
with him. "Last day of school!" He
yells jumping up in the air. I giggle.
"Yeah, I can't wait for this summer,
we can do so much," I say. "Yup.
Going to the pool, bowling, riding our
bikes to the 711," he says. "And guess
what?! My parents are gonna expand
on the tree house!" He says with
gleam. We've been playing in that tree
house since the day we'd first met.
Which was like preschool. "No way!
What are they doing to it?" I ask with
excitement. "Adding a rope and
getting a new slide," he says.
"Remember that time, when my dog
chased you up the slide, but you were
wearing roller skates so you couldn't
get up?" I ask with a laugh. "That was
so terrifying," he shivers. I laugh.
Stevie and I have been the best
friends of the block for as long as I can
remember. Infact, our moms were
friends before us. Before we knew it, a
large, flat, brick building came into
sight. I put the code into my dented
locker, put my bag in, grabbed my
stuff, and left for first block.
