tied together with a smile.

"School starts on August 15th," a lady sitting behind a table stated to Tyler while handing him some papers. "The top sheet is his class assignment and class goals. The second sheet is this teacher's supply list," she continued. Tyler took the papers and looked at them briefly.

"Anything else?" He asked, unsure of what he was supposed to do.

"That is all. Any additional information you'll receive on the 15th from his teacher," the lady replied. Tyler took Jimmy's hand and walked away from the table. Jacey and Kaylee had finished a little before them. The girls came over to the guys as Tyler studied the papers he had just been given.

"Calm down, it's just a list of objectives and school supplies. Stop acting as if it's legal documents or something," Jacey told Tyler. He looked at her and smiled.

"What's next?" He asked her, feeling almost lost.

"Well, a good parent would get school supplies as soon as possible, and you promised Jimmy that you would get stuff for his room," Jacey explained.

"Soooo...Wal-Mart?" Tyler suggested as they walked from the school and out to the car.

Jimmy stood on the of the basket as he and Tyler waited for the girls. Jacey bumped Tyler with her basket, and Kaylee giggled. "Got ya!" Kaylee exclaimed.

"Very funny," he taunted her as he picked her up and lifted her over his shoulder. "Into the basket, you go," he said as he placed her in the basket and tickled her. Her laughs became loud, and her smile wide. He finally stopped and looked at Jacey, "You have the list, right?"

"Good thing they are in the same class," Jacey said sarcastically as she pulled the list out of her purse. "You're going to let him stay like that?" Jacey asked Tyler, looking at Jimmy standing at the end of the basket.

"Yeah, he's fine," Tyler answered. He looked at Jimmy, "You're fine, right?" Jimmy nodded his head, and they continued to walk.

"This way," Jacey informed him as they turned down an aisle leading to the school supply and arts and crafts area.

"What do we need from here?" Tyler asked.

"Three folders, two 24 packs of pencils, one two pack of erasers, three composition notebooks," she called off the list. Tyler began to gather the supplies for each of them. Tyler stood in front of the composition notebooks.

"All pink, please," Kaylee called to him.

"I want blue and green," Jimmy added. Tyler picked up six composition notebooks in the requested colors and put them into the respective baskets. He also picked up two blue folders and one green folder for Jimmy, and two pink folders and one purple folder for Kaylee.

"I want that one!" Kaylee exclaimed, pointing to a Hello Kitty folder.

"One Hello Kitty folder," Jacey told her. Tyler put down one of the pink folders.

"One pink, one purple, and one Hello Kitty?" He confirmed with Kaylee. Kaylee nodded and watched Tyler as he dropped the folders into the basket. Tyler tossed two packs of pencils into each basket.

"The erasers are two pegs down," Jacey said to Tyler. He looked over and grabbed two packs, and threw them into the baskets. That's it for this aisle," Jacey stated, and they walked over to the next aisle. Jacey called out the supplies as Tyler moved up and down the aisle, gathering them and then putting them into the basket.
