What A School Year (A continuation of 'What A Summer')

Home Alone

*Couple days later*
"What are you doing M?" Buffy asked looking with wonder. The two were getting ready to go on their morning jog.

"I'm trying to put up the picture I had drawn of us. It just, won't stay balance..."

"I just don't want you to fall." Buffy said stepping closer to Marty and the chair he stood on.

"It's fine Buffy... there." Marty said. He stepped off the chair he stood on. "Doesn't it look nice?"

"It looks great." Buffy said. "Really pops with the blue room."

Marty pulled Buffy close to him and kissed the side of her head.

"Movie night?" Marty asked.

"Of course! After Tj and Daniel's race."

"Fair enough."

*Meanwhile*
"BEEEXXX" Bowie yelled groggily from the bed. Bex, who was about to take her first sip of her coveted cup of morning coffee, exhaled heavily at the mans constant calls.

"Yes Bowie?" Bex said from the bottom of the stairs audibly annoyed.

"Can you get me something to drink..."

"In a second..."

Bex moseyed her way over to the kitchen where Andi was standing, smiling at her phone.

"Hey Andi, can you please make Bowie some tea."

"What do you want me to make it with."

"NyQuil..." Bex said.

"What?"

"Did I say NyQuil... I meant to say honey..."

"Mom those words don't even sound remotely similar..." Andi said lighting the stove "Andi the tea should knock him out anyway, it definitely knocked me out."

"Hmmmm..." Bex said taking a sip of her coffee. "I guess your right."

"So, keep him occupied while I make this tea."

"If I must." Bex said shuffling out the kitchen.

"Also, make sure to remind him that you two are coming to Daniel's race today. I bought y'all tickets.

"Yeah, Yeah."

Cyrus sat outside the ice rink while he waited for Andi and her parents, Buffy and Marty. He took the time to read over his newest screen play. This one was about a girl who lost her way and has to find her way home.

"Hey Cyrus! Whatcha reading?" A voice said from behind him.

"Just something I wrote. What have you been up to Z?"

"Nothing major... how often do you write?" Zach asked.

"As much as I can, I really want to screen write professionally." Cyrus said. Zach raised his eyebrows in acknowledgment.

"Awesome!" Zach said. "I'm gonna head inside now, how many seats should I- save"

"Hey Zach!" A guy said freezing Zach mid sentence. "You here for the race?"

"Uh-uh y-yeah. I'm here to see a friend." Zach stammered.

"Cool. Kip said it would be something cool to do in my free time."

"Thanks Kip..."

"So... see ya inside."

"Right, right, later Ben." Zach said. He waved as Ben walked inside. Cyrus just sat there smirking listening and observing.
