Kevin woke up to the alarm ringing,
"Ugh! You've got to be kidding me! Late for the last day of school, really Kevin! You have got to be better."
He complained about himself as he woke up in a hurry and brushed his teeth and took a quick shower before sliding down the stairs.
"Hey kiddo, you really need to pick up pace this time, here I got your lunch all ready"
His dad Miles threw him the lunch packets, he caught them, as he had in every other day,
"Thanks dad, love you!"
Just as he was about to leave he shouted
"Don't forget about the camping tonight.. Claire will be there you know"
Kevin looked back and threw him an angry glance "I told you that it's nothing like that!"
It was everything like that ".. and yes i didn't forget and have already packed up everything"
His dad just chuckled "right... you totally don't have a crush on her and i'm just imagining things, well have a great last day of school!"
Kevin smiled 'a great day at Arcadia high.. as if' as he took of in his cycle, he caught up with Jim, his best friend.. and only friend, they had been through a lot, from being bullied by Scott and to pranking the vice principal Mr.Jones and being sent to detention.
"Sup Kevs.. so you finally gonna tell her?.. i mean like c'mon man your dad is rooting for you like thats not something all dads do y'know.. and best part her dad is your dad's friend like I don't get what's holding you back bro"
Kevin just chuckled "uhh.. maybe, maybe not who knows?"
Jim shot him a glance "welp.. that's a no"
Kevin looked at his watch "ohh no we are so gonna be late... take the shortcut.. through the mad guy's house"
Jim shot him a dissaproving glance "you mean Mr.. what was his name again?" Jim pondered before sighing in exasperation "I'm pretty sure that his name starts with a P"
They turned across the road and into a small garden path that led directly past a normal grey house.
"Wait!" Jim called out "look there's water flowing we can't go below the bridge"
Kevin smiled "That's what you think" and then he rode down the slope straight into the flowing river, Jim sighed and muttered to himself "he's probably going to do something really stupid or really smart... and I hope it's the latter" then he followed Kevin down the slope.
Just as Kevin was about to seemingly fall into the river his cycle simply splattered some water and rode on "haha.. you idiot the water level is almost ground level" and they just rode past and up the slope before taking a few sharp sudden turns and reaching the school... where the vice principal was waiting.
"Oh darn it!, what do we do?!" Jim sighed.
"Well well.. look who it is, Mr.Welt and Mr.Lake, late on the last day couldn't give up on your streak huh" just then someone else called out from behind "Mr. Jones, leave them be.. it's the last day afterall" Jones ended up flustered and said "but Mr. Olson.. they have been late for like.. the entire year".
The principal Mr. Olson just stared at him as he sighed in frustration and let them pass.
"Thanks for the save Mr. Olson"
Mr. Olson chuckled "oh please.. i have been saving you for the entire year.. i think you have been grateful enough.. although i must ask.. do you plan on continue to stare at Miss Heart or actually talk to her.. afterall you have only been staring for the past year"
Kevin chuckled "w-what do you mean?.. i-i've talked to her plenty before" he then proceeded to lock his cycle and rush through the hallway.
Jim spoke up "yea right.. like back when you were getting the advertisement for the play?.. because i clearly remember you just saying 'y-yep i'll uhh... try to be there' and proceeding to blow your only chance"
Kevin shot him an angry glance "hey"
"Talking bout my sis guys?.. let me guess he is totally gonna talk to her?" A guy said in a very sarcastic manner, Kevin just started at him "ha ha very funny man" Jim just smiled "i know right?.. well sup, Alan"
Alan just smiled "i mean like c'mon.. like your dad knows, the principal does.. me her own brother knows.. like at this rate she is gonna know that she's your crush before you tell her.. or maybe she already knows"
