More Than Just Another Vacation!!

Chapter Twenty Seven: Reunion

~~~~~~~~~~~~4 weeks later~~~~~~~~~~~

Today was the last day of eighth grade. All of my friends now know about justin and i. Our secret relationship is going great but i miss him terribly. On the bright side, in two weeks i get to see him at that family reunion. I am SO excited! The gymnasium was filled with all of the 8th graders saying there goodbyes. Next time i would be going to school i will be going to high school! I said goodbye to everyone, avoiding the snobs. I looked at the clock. One minute until i was free from school! Silence filled the gym as everyone starred at the clock, waiting for 2:59 to change to 3:00. Right after i thought that this moment was going to last forever.

DING DING DING DING DING!

The bell rung and kids flooded out of the school ready to start summer vacation! Everyone screamed, and sung, so happy that school was totally out of the picture for 3 months!

Amanda: can yoy believe 8th grade is over?

Amanda hopped on the bus and slid in the seat in the way back of the bus. I sat down beside her and continued our conversation.

Allie: it went by soo fast, it feels like yesterday i was scared to start 6th grade! And now look at us, we are basically freshman! Soon we are gonna be graduating and moving out!

More people flooded onto the bus, everyone in a conversation with another person. Some people even brought a friend home.

Amanda: thats scary to think like that. Youll be moving out and going to live with justin in kentucky *laughs*

I laughed at the thought of me and justin spending the rest of our lives together. I doubt that will actually happen, i dont even think i want to spend the rest of my life with someone who cheated on me at the beginning of our relationship. But you never know.

Allie: if me and justin end up actually living together, we are living in pennsylvania! (laughing) im not moving to kentucky.

The bus started, we left the school parking lot and our bus driver began driving us home. Amanda and i were the first stop so it was a pretty short ride for us.

Amanda: what are the chances of you guys actually being together (pause) forever?

I really had think about this question. It wasnt that hard to answer, but it really made me think of the probability that i would actually be with justin forever.

Allie: i guess fifty percent chance? I mean i really couldnt tell you, ive only been dating him a month and he lives like two hundred miles away from me. We dont even live in the same time zone!

Amanda got a wierd look on her face, she got a huge smile and i knew whatever was comming next was definetly gonna be an amanda moment. An amanda moment is what i call a moment when amanda asks or says the stupidest thing and expects other people not to think shes crazy after she says it.

Amanda: do you love justin?

There it was, the question i was waiting for! Wasnt the worst amanda moment but it was definetly an amanda moment. She looked at me with no expression on her face, waiting for me to answer her question.

Allie: amanda. I-i dont know.

Amanda looked at me like i was losing my mind. I mean i dont think i LOVE him but at the same time i know i love him. I think i just love him like how i love my friends. I love him probably more than that but thats the best way i could probably explain it to amanda.

Amanda: what do you mean you dont know!?

I was just about to answer her when my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I quickly pulled it out and looked to see who it was.
