Terry Terry

Chapter 10 "The 4th of July Barbecue"

There was a field trip at St. Francis. The trip was going to Chicago to Adler's Planetarium. All the students were excited to go out of town and have fun. They were also happy because, it was the end of the year and there won't be any work for them to do unless they misbehave... Of course, one student had to misbehave by disappearing on the group with his friends. The teachers realised at the end that they were missing.

- Your brother is a real case, said Ashley to Eliza

- He's unbelievable... I bet you anything he went to the movies...

The whole group had to wait for Neil and his 3 friends to come back, which they did when their movie was over...

- I can't believe this, said the teacher, you guys had to ruin it for the rest of them! You're all going to me a paper of 4 pages on our trip today and on everything that was said in the planetarium and during the tour in the astronomy museum...or no county fair or dance...

- Great Neil! Said his sister, you see what you did!?

- Shut up Eliza! Said Neil

- You make me! She said angry

- Silence said the teacher!

- What a loser! Said Brittany Backman

The other students were of course angry, but they had no choice but to comply. They didn't want to miss all the fun.

- Neil, said Terry, you couldn't wait for school to be over to do your nonsense?

- Shut up Oliver Twist! Said Neil angry

- Since you missed the tour and everything, we all know what you're going to get! Said Terry shaking his head

Neil was sulking but he was plotting his revenge against Terry.

"I'm going to get that stray cat if it's the last thing I do" he mumbled in his head

Of course, Neil was grounded again by his father, which made him more eager to punish Terry...

**********

The school year was over at St. Francis and it was dress down day and a little county fair near the school and a little dance during school hours. Every body was glad not to wear their uniform to school. Since the party was going to be in school for students only, during school time, Terry couldn't invite his girlfriend... So Antonia was glad to get all of his attention for once. She felt a little guilty for taking advantage of the situation... most of the other girls stayed away from Terry when they saw him with Antonia... She was on cloud nine. Even if she knew that once that day of school was over, he would go back to Nina. They had a lot of fun at the county fair too. Terry won several stuffed animals for Antonia. He had so many that he kept some for Nina. Antonia didn't mind. They were trying all sorts of games. They were in front of fortune teller's tent.

- Are you sure you want to go there? Said Terry, I think those ladies are pretty scary

- It's for entertainment only! They're not going to say anything to upset us...

- All right, said Terry

They got in and they saw a woman sitting in with a table in front of her. She was old, dressed like a gypsy. She was reading tarot cards.

- Come in my children..., she said with a cranky voice, who's starting?

- I will, said Antonia...

- All right, said the woman
