(Elenora POV)
"Ellie! Wake up!" I hear my sister Sloane say and I groan. "Fine." I say and I roll out of bed and I get dressed. I walk downstairs and I see Sloane eating her breakfast. "Your-" She stops as she motions around her hair. I widen my eyes and I run back upstairs combing through my wavy hair. I run back down and I grab an apple. "Come on Ellie!" I hear Sloane yell from Dad's car. "Okay!" I shout and I run outside, I jump into the backseat of the car. "Took you long enough baby sis." Sloane says and I laugh. Sloane was my older sister by 7 months. "Yeah, yeah I know." I say as we keep driving.
Soon we make it and I notice two of my friends not there. "Hmm." I say as Sloane and I walk inside. "Where you think they could be?" I question Sloane and she shrugs. "Ferris being Ferris probably skipped." Sloane says and I nod. We walk to our first class and it was a bore. I was sat next to Sloane and I groaned. After the teacher calls roll we all start doing our work. After an hour Sloane and I stand up and we go to our passing period. I stand against the wall since Sloane and I are separated I pass by a girl on the phone and I hear someone coughing on the other end of it. I look at the girl. "May I?" I mouth and she nods handing me the phone. "Hey Fer." I say and I hear the coughing stop. "Baby! What's shaking?" Ferris questions and I laugh. "Nothing much babe so listen..." I start and I take my tone down. "Are you really sick or is this another day off?" I question. "It's most certainly a day off sweets, but I'll pick you and Sloane up later." Ferris says. "Good don't forget babe." I say. "Love you El." Ferris says. "Love you too Ferris." I say and I hang up the phone.
I walk to my class and I sit in my seat. I start writing my notes and about 20 minutes into the class I see the nurse enter. She goes to the teacher and they both look over at me. "Elenora Peterson?" The Nurse asks and I sit up. "May I see you outside for a moment. There's been an emergency." The nurse says and I nod. I look and see the girl looking at me. "Dead Grandmother." I whisper to her. I walk out to the hallway and the nurse has Sloane with her. The Nurse grasps Sloane and I's hand. "Girls I'm so sorry...Dead Grandmother." The Nurse says and I look down acting sad and so did Sloane. "Oh." I say. Soon Sloane and I are packing our stuff. "This is the work of Ferris isn't it?" She asks and I nod with a grin. "Of course." I say but I see Mr. Rooney coming and I bring the sad act back in. Soon we walk outside waiting for Ferris to arrive. "Once again let me say how deeply saddened I am by your loss." Mr. Rooney says and Sloane looks up. "Huh?" She questions and I nudge her and her eyes widen. "Were you close to your grandmother?" Mr. Rooney continues and before Sloane can say anything I speak up. "Oh. Um. Yeah. Very. She was a terrific lady. Very hip. Very old. Yeah." I say. "Oh Elenora! Sloane dear!" I hear Ferris say. I turn and see Ferris and him being smart person he is, he kept his nose and mouth under the roofline. "Hurry along now!" Ferris shouts and I shake my head.
"I guess that's our Dad. Thanks. See ya." Sloane says and she grabs my hand and we rush to the car. I hop in the passenger seat and Sloane sits next to Cameron. "This is so great! I can't believe it! Right in front of Rooney!" I exclaim while kissing Ferris' cheek. "Hi, Cameron. You comfortable?" Sloane asks Cameron. "Hi. No." Cameron says. "What a fabulous car!" Sloane exclaims while looking around the car. "Enjoy it quick. It' s going home." Cameron says. "It was risky, it was bold but it was totally necessary." Ferris says. "What're we gonna do?" I ask Ferris. "The question isn't "what are we gonna do", the question is what aren't we gonna do?" Ferris says and I grin widely. "Don't tell me we're not going to take the car home. Please." Cameron says and Ferris just grins. Soon we pull up to a modern bank building. We all get out of the car and Ferris grabs my hand and we all walk inside. "Ferris Bueller?" The Teller says. "Hello, Mrs. Froeling. How are you?" Ferris asks.
Mrs. Froeling pats around in her hair and eventually locates a ball point pen and grabs it. "I passed a kidney stone Tuesday, so I'm a little pooped but other than that, I'm as chipper as can be." Mrs. Froeling says. "Say, should you be in school?" She continues. "Me?" Ferris says with a polite laugh. "I'm out of school, Mrs. Froeling. In fact. I'm married. This is my wife...Madonna." Ferris says holding up our interlocked hands. "And this is my brother-in-law, ZZ Top. ZZ, and my sister in law Whitney this is Mrs. Froeling." Ferris says. "Is Top a Slavic name?" Mrs. Froeling says to Cameron who clearly looks unamused. "Yeah." Cameron says. "I'd like to cash these in, please. We're having a baby and we need the cash for a crib, clothes, diapers, food pellets, leash, water dish..." Ferris says and I smile trying to hide my laugh. "A baby!" Mrs. Froeling says then she looks at me. "You must be so excited." She says with a smile. "I'm thrilled, ma'am. I'm especially looking forward to wearing those jeans with the stretch panel in front." I say.
"Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?" Mrs. Froeling says thumbing through the bonds. "Actually, we're hoping for a car." I say. Soon Mrs. Froeling shows Ferris the bonds. "These bonds aren't mature. If you hold onto them another two years you'll get an additional four dollars..." She says. "I'm aware of that." Ferris says. "You're throwing away four dollars." Mrs. Froeling says. "No, ma'am, I'm giving it to the government. They need it. Do you know what an aircraft carrier's going for these days?" Ferris says and she gives us the bonds and we are on our way. Soon we see Ferris' mom and we hide in a display case, as she walks by we look on proudly.
