great expectations… - 14
The next Monday that came we all went down to the skate park to show off our skills, and as always got sore. The summer fort thing turned out to be really awesome. It seemed every time we went there, there would always be some one else to hang out with. Donny stayed there a lot mostly at the van in what we called the command seat. He had finally hooked everything up complete with a secret video camera hidden attached to one kids apartment that was near the entrance to Valley Grande. It showed the entrance gate and the entrance to Wyoming as well, just for security. The side entrance between the back and the right section of Valley Grande had a camera there too, but it was only a cheap black and white one. We had three more mobile cameras now to do with as we pleased. It was pretty neat. I didnt know people this young could be capable of something like this.
The next Friday was very neat. There was another camp out that night but the meeting was much more interesting.
We plan to attack first this year on Wyoming. Said Matt. We want to get them some time this week and plan it well
so
anybody got any ideas on what we should do first?
For the next hour Dominic, Lodi, Donny and I sat around and chilled while the six others went over plans on who would cover who if whatever happened, and as started to get supplies together.
Whats your elective this year Jess? Dominic asked.
Elective?
Yeah, you know like your extra class like Art or PE or something
Was I supposed to pick one?
Oh yeah you mustve been absent when they picked them
So what will I go in?
Theyll probably put you in a random one.
With my luck itll be Home Ec. Or something.
Lodi laughed, Home Economics was so fun this year with you in it.
Yeah, it was pretty fun.
Who was in your kitchen? Donny asked.
It was I, Jessi, Tracey, Chelsea and Jessica. Lodi told him.
Why did you get into a group with all girls stupid!
I didnt pick my group
but it really didnt matter because we just messed around the whole time anyway
Hey Lodi are in Home Ec for this year?
I put it down as my second choice. My first was Musical Theater or Choir.
Me and Donny put down Art or Computers. Dominic slapped the fly off his freckled nose.
I looked to Donny, What grade are you both going into?
Eight. We took Art I last year. It was a breeze. I heard in computers you can send and instant messages to people when the teachers not looking.
Tight.
Oh speaking of Chelsea, do any of you know where she is? Lodi looked at us.
I saw her the other day, so I guess shes not sick anymore. Shell come around here eventually
Donny didnt seem too pleased about that.
Shes a very hyper child, said Dominic, Seems so quiet without her hopping around here.
Lodi laughed, It does.
At school she was pretty into Jessin. Said Dominic. She goes around always talking about you
its funny. Sad thing is all the other girls actually seem interested when she brags about knowing you. They laughed.
Yeah, Jessin, how do you do that? asked Donny.
I shrugged.
Maybe its a new kid thing
Dominic looked at Lodi, Hey, Lodi, you tell us. What do the girls like about him
and your brother too! Theyre like chick-magnets!
Lodi shrugged and smiled on the verge of a silly laugh.
They had come up with a plan… but it was complicated and I dont like describing stuff… it kicked ass though.
I didnt return home at all that day. Another camp out was that night. Only about ten kids showed up to this one. We went to bed pretty early. I slept slouched against one of the walls with my legs out. Life was good. Tomorrow Id go get a hair cut…
