Spy's Broken Heart

Chapter 7

"SCHOOL'S OUT!!!!!" Meghan yelled when the last bell of sophomore year sounded. Kanade and I giggled at her reaction.

Today was the last day of school, yep, I'm gonna be a junior! I squeezed through the crowds of students hugging, laughing, overall bright smiles plastered on their faces, but the couples making out were a little... Anyway, I walked out of the building in my black skinny jeans, quoted tee that says: "Secret Spy Here", black high-top converse, and a studded jean vest. All of a sudden, an arm swings around my neck.

"Eight months of education and three months of fun, doesn't seem fair to me," a smooth voice says. I look to my left and saw Ryan's grinning face. Another arm loops around my right limb.

"Well, then let us have the most fun in those tree months." I look to my right and saw Kanade. A slightly heavy body jumped on my back and I collapsed on the patch of grass in front of the building.

"What the heck?" I pushed my torso off the ground and looked behind me. "Meghan?!" She started cracking up.

"Hey, it's not my fault there was no room left for me," she managed between hardcore laughing.

"Yeah yeah yeah, and as punishment for my face plant, you're driving," earning cheers from the other two, "can you get off me now?" Still giggling, she climbed off with me getting up afterwards. The four of us stood there in silence, staring at each other.

"Last one to the car, pays for food!" Ryan yelled before we all start bolting towards his car.

Kanade popped the last bite of her hamburger in her mouth and slurped her nearly empty soda cup.

"That was delicious!" She beamed. I chewed on a French fry along with Meghan as Ryan sulks in despair.

"Thanks for the food, Ryan!" Meg said.

Ryan was the last one to the car and paid for In-N-Out burgers. Pity for him, delicious food all together.

"I was going easy on you guys!" He defended.

"That's what they all say," Meghan piped in.

"It's true! Being the only dude in this little group of girls, I was only being a gentleman!"

"Boys against girl power again! Did I not make that clear in the dojo?!" I snapped.

"You cheated!"

"No I didn't!"

We argued for a couple seconds, but stopped when Kanade threw a pack of pepper at Ryan.

"Cut it out, I want dessert!"

I took our trays and tossed the garbage in the trash can on our way out. This time, Ryan drove, Kanade called shotgun, and Meghan and I in the back seats. When LMFAO came on, Meghan was the first one to break out singing, followed by Ryan, Kanade, then me.

We arrived at our usual cafe, 100% Sweet and Savory Cafe. We took our booth and ordered our dessert and drinks: me; fruit filled crepe topped with whipped cream, Nutella, brownies, and chocolate chips. Ryan; Zodiac horoscope Leo parfait. Meghan: raspberry cheesecake with vanilla ice cream. Kanade: ice cream sundae.

"So, where do you guys want to go this year?" Ryan asked. Every summer, us four go on vacation together, it's kind of a tradition, well, it started with only Ryan and me, then Meghan and Kanade came along. Last year, we went on an amusement park marathon, meaning going to three different parks in a week.

"I don't know, I'm running out of places to go," Meghan said with cheesecake in her mouth. We took a few seconds to think of places to go.

"A cruise ship!"

We all look at Kanade straight up beaming. She pointed somewhere behind me, I turned around and saw a flyers on a stand. I got up and walked over to it. Picking up one of the papers, I went back to our table. I set the panflet down as Ryan read.

"Win a cruise to the Bahamas for a family of two to seven. Arcades, buffets, pools..." He went on about the activity on the ship.

"How do we win?" I ask.

"By submitting the survey to the address," Ryan summarized.

"What survey?" As if on queue, a sheet of paper fell out of the huge packet. I unfolded it and read.

"So it's by raffle?" Kanade guessed.

"Looks like it." The survey had seven spaces to write information and we signed in four slots.

Name: Skylar Diamond
Contact Number: (415)-***-****

"So... Who's parents are chaperones this year?" Meghan asked.

"Mine went last year so I think it's Sky's turn," Ryan said.

"Got it," I agreed, "my mom or dad?"

"Dad!" Everyone said in unison.

~Later that Day~

I shut the door and hung my bag on the rack.

"Dad! We might go on a cruise!" I yelled. Seconds later I heard a fate voice from dad.

"Okay!"
