They're Trouble

Chapter 48

It's been two months since we got back from the holiday. School as resumed as smoothly as can be also as boring as ever. The only good news is that I would soon be set free from this bondage. Talks about graduation as already began to circulate. The dates ain't been chosen yet but I'm anxiously waiting. Not that I am interested in the graduation per say, I'm more interested on the date J get to get out of this hell hole.

"Are you even listening?" Lou said snapping a finger in my face.

"No" I answer genuinely. He just sighs.

"What?!" I ask.

"We're talking about how we all have strangely not received any letter from the schools we applied to" Jake said.

"Are we not going to college?" Lou asks raising his hands up.

"I just knew there would be repercussions for the bad things we've done" Peter said. I just shake my head at them. I'm worried but I'm not gonna let them know that. Someone is gotta be cool and that someone is Mike and I.

We went back to our class after the bell rang. The rest of school went by as quietly as can be. The worst part is that prom is next week. Voting for prom queen and King is going on and that can be bloody because the nominated people turned out to be friends. We've only got a month or so till we're done with high school and I can't wait.

"To the house?" Lou asked when we were at the parking lot after school.

"Sure" I said. I missed the house when we left. The house was so dusty when we got there. Took us a whole day to clean the whole place. Twas tiring. We actually slept there overnight.

I got on my bike and rode to the house. The guys were coming behind me. Ever since we got back, I've been riding my bike everyday because I missed it more than I did the house.

"We are going to prom right?" Peter asked when we got home.

"I might hate school but we're not going to miss our prom" I said not looking away from the TV.

"I have food!!" Jake said coming through the door holding a bag.

"Yes!!" Lou said running to meet Jake and jumping on him. They both fell on the floor and I stood up to go pick up the food and took it back to the living room so we that we're not on the floor could start eating.

"What are we doing now?" Mike asked. We've been watching TV for up to 3 hours now. I'm getting bored and hungry.

"Go for a walk? I asked and they agreed. I wore my jacket and we left the house. Jake locked the door and pocketed the key. We walked for a couple of blocks enjoying the night breeze. People were up and about doing nothing really. We walked up to a food stand and decided to get something to eat. We got fries, burger and shawarma,cut sausages with sauce.
