J2Trappy saw Kaylee1Active from time to time over the next few months, asking K eagerly if she was there every time he was invited over. His drillaz laughed good-naturedly at his behaviour, not understanding the extent of his deep feelings towards her, but he didn't mind. Milestones came and went, he could now smoke the plants from his mumsie's herb garden, had learnt how to do a wheelie on his bike and could even chug a whole carton of rubicon in under 30 seconds! Satisfied, he thought there was no way possible that Kaylee wasn't impressed. School was the same, neither better nor worse than normal, although he still kept forgetting to stick his gum under the desk. Overall, J2Trappy's year sped along, led by the shining light that was Kaylee.
As the end of the school year drew closer, mumsie began considering holiday options. Raising a child in the roughest corner of Croydon was not easy, and J2Trappy knew even at the age of 9 that she did not have much money. Somewhat mature in this respect, he never made a fuss about holidays. This year was to be fairly similar to the others, mumsie announced one warm June morning that they would be going for a long weekend away in Bognor Regis. J2Trappy didn't mind Bognor Regis, so it was all fine. Even so, it was a little hard to hear Triggz boast loudly about going to Butlins again, but K reassured him it wasn't that great anyway.
Before he knew it, his battered old Thomas the tank engine rucksack was packed and he was bundled into the car headed for the tropical coast of West Sussex. Settling down in the premier inn, J2Trappy sighed contentedly and wondered if mumsie would let him have a double chocolate magnum this year, the plain ones didn't really flex enough drip. He was disturbed from his reverie by mumsie re-entering the room and announcing that they were going to get chicken and chips as a holiday treat and eat by the seaside. J2Trappy was delighted.
Watching the sun set over the muddy brown sea, seagulls squawking in the deisel-scented air as he ate his chicken, he felt as though things couldn't get any better. Like an answer from the heavens, a second later who did J2Trappy spot walking along the beach but Kaylee herself! Heart skipping a beat, he barely registered mumsie calling out a friendly hello and calling her over. Suddenly aware that the love of his life was walking towards him, he quickly pulled his hood up and wiped his greasy chicken fingers on his sweatpants. Kaylee spoke with his mumsie for a bit, affirming that she too was saying in Bognor Regis, before glancing at J2Trappy and and rolling her eyes. God, she was beautiful. He offered her some chips and she took a few, while he admired how she didn't get greasy fingers. Really, it was because her nails were so long she could just pick them up with those, but he wasn't to know that.
While his mumsie went off to go find her's, he tried to engage her in conversation, to little avail. Oh well, she was probably just nervous to talk to him. Upon her return, mumsie had bought both him and Kaylee a caramel chocolate magnum, something J2Trappy hadn't even dared to dream about. Ecstatic at the thought of eating something so delectable, he also realised how cool it made him look in front of Kaylee. Trying his best not to get ice cream all over his face, a tragedy occurred. A large chunk of the chocolate casing cracked off and fell to the floor. Visibly upset, he knew it would be unfair to ask mumsie to buy another one. In a moment of unexpected compassion, or perhaps she just didn't really want it, we shall never know, Kaylee broke off a piece of her chocolate and silently handed it to him. In disbelief, J2Trappy stared at it for a few seconds before coming to his senses and thanking her in his best roadman voice. She shrugged disinterestedly and continued to drag her feet back and forth through the pebbles while J2Trappy's heart sang.
Reflecting back on what was possibly the best day of his life, J2Trappy fell asleep warm and comfy in his premier inn bed, looking forward to spending the next two days alone with Kaylee.
