Down The Rabbit Hole

THIRTEEN

"Are you from around here Josie?" Peter asked.

"Course she ain't Pete 'member she's a new student?" Mike said.

"Oh sorry, I kinda forgot." Peter said smiling sheepishly.

"S'alright Pete, we all forget things sometimes." Micky said patting Peter on the back.

"Where do you come from miss?" Davy asked anxiously.

"I'm not sure where, I come from." I said.

"Whatcha mean?" Micky pipped up.

"Well I was in Kansas now I'm here." I said trying to explain.

"Don't worry same thing happened to me." Peter said with a reassuring smile.

"It did?!" I said in disbelief.

"Yeah my parents once relocated me one night too, woke up in a new city." Peter said.

He thinks I was moved here?

"We all come from different walks of life, like I'm from Texas." Mike said proudly.

"I'm from Manchester way across the Ocean." Davy said smiling.

"I come from Connecticut well actually D.C. but lived in Connecticut the longest." Peter said.

"And I'm a Native Californian born and raised in this here state." Micky said happily.

Talk about a group of oddballs but they're really nice guys.

"So you see we are all different in our own way." Mike said with a smirk.

"Texas? Do you know Buddy Holly?" I asked curiously.

"Who?" Mike answered.

"I think she means Charles." Davy replied.

"Oh Yeah we see him in the halls and at lunch." Micky said.

Oh Fraptious day!!

"Why?" Peter asked.

I shrugged and changed the subject.

"So um what do you guys plan on doing after you graduate, I wanna be an author." I said beaming.

"I want to be a scientist." Micky said acting like he was a mad scientist experimenting with his pen and pencil pretending they were test tubes.

"I think you'd be an awesome scientist Micky, just please no explosives." I said smiling.

"No promises." Micky said smiling back.

"I think I'd like to be a jockey." Davy said joyfully.

"Oh wonderful, horses are such beautiful creatures." I said starting to daydream about horse riding. "You'd make a great jockey Davy." I continued.

"I think I'm gonna become a lawyer or doctor." Mike replied finally.

"Remind me never to get hurt or arrested." I said laughing.

"Aw c'mon I ain't gonna be that bad." Mike said laughing too.

"Seriously though I think you'd make lovely doctor." I said giving him a thumbs up.

"Thank you ma'am." Mike said laughing.

"I want to be a folk singer, college just isn't my bag y'know?" Peter said looking at peace with his answer.

"I believe you'll be wonderful too Peter." I said with a little knowing smile.

Peter starting blushing.

I made Peter blush, yes.

"Thank you Josie." Peter said bashfully.

The bell was about to ring on to period four.

I'll miss my new friends hopefully I see them again today, maybe in lunch.

Haha them in lunch oh I hope they start a food fight! Like I've read about, or maybe they're more behaved in this alternate reality?

Nah! They're the Monkees I highly doubt it. I laughed at that thought.

"Well I hope I see you guys later, Bye." I said waving farewell to my new friends.

They all said their farewells as well.

Then I was left alone to face another dilemma of a new period. Back to the slaughterhouse. I thought again.

Well here goes nothing onward to History class wonder who I'll meet next?
