earldebuke 4:17pm
The students are twitching.
earldebuke 4:18pm
Thooughts they dare not say for fear of being arrested....
earldebuke 4:18pm
So help me, I may set this building on FIRE if they add one more day past the planned end date
earldebuke 4:18pm
Why am I even showing UP tomorrow?
earldebuke 4:19pm
Stupid tests! This is a fascist system!
catnik 4:19pm
Zane, you are not the proletariat!
earldebuke 4:19pm
Students of the world unite...
earldebuke 4:20pm
Shhhh
earldebuke 4:20pm
Finally, the bell rings!
earldebuke 4:20pm
As some students were at the door BEFORE it happened, well.. t he race is on
earldebuke 4:28pm
and Dagmar /Sam notices that a well trained Jaymes is waiting for her further back. He still remembers!
catnik 4:31pm
She has the best dad! Dag jogs down to meet him at the truck, grinning.
earldebuke 4:31pm
"How was your second to last day?" He asks
catnik 4:31pm
"Fine. No homework!"
earldebuke 4:31pm
The door opens for her, of course
earldebuke 4:32pm
"That is good news" He says
earldebuke 4:32pm
Ahead of them, less fortunate students can only envy Sam, as THEIR moms and dads are right up where everyone can see them... and some of them are fussing and hugging them in.. in view of EVERYONE!
earldebuke 4:33pm
Those poor bastards
catnik 4:33pm
Sam has a good thing and she knows it.
earldebuke 4:35pm
As they drive off (Oh look that poor girl is having her blouse straightened by her mom.. must remember to warn Tove never to do that in those situations), Jaymes says "Saw someone at the convenience store earlier today. They said you did a great job on their yard" The eyebrow of suspicion
catnik 4:37pm
"Mrs. Bayless?"
earldebuke 4:38pm
"You did her lawn too? Sam...dagmar, what's going on?"
catnik 4:39pm
"Okay, so, I was waiting to tell you, but, like, I've already made seventy dollars!"
catnik 4:40pm
"So, I was thinking maybe if I earned enough money I could maybe go to the basketball camp at Rutgers in August?"
earldebuke 4:40pm
eyebrow twitch then "how long is that, and how much?"
catnik 4:42pm
"Two weeks..."
earldebuke 4:42pm
"mm" he grunts
catnik 4:43pm
"There's gonna be real professional coaches there AND professional players..."
earldebuke 4:43pm
That reads as he will miss her for such a long time but does not find it unreasonable.
earldebuke 4:43pm
"and..." the other part of the question
catnik 4:44pm
"Um."
earldebuke 4:45pm
Raised brow
earldebuke 4:45pm
As they pull into the house's parking lot
catnik 4:45pm
Mumble "Six-hundred-twenty-five-dollars."
earldebuke 4:46pm
Soft choke sound then, calmly, he says something she might not have expected, "I'll have to talk to your mother about it."
earldebuke 4:47pm
He opens the door, "Go on inside. I'll see what she thinks"
earldebuke 4:48pm
And just like that, she is now wondering what WILL Tove say when dad talks to her without..without her?
earldebuke 4:48pm
Teen drama comes in many forms.
earldebuke 7:17pm
Of course, now she's waiting in her room while below a discussion goes on.
catnik 7:19pm
wellll...
catnik 7:19pm
more like the hallway, straining to hear.
earldebuke 7:19pm
She's never envied Symon's senses so much... she only gets snippets...
earldebuke 7:20pm
"...625 dollars is a lot to..."
earldebuke 7:20pm
"...can help..."
earldebuke 7:20pm
"What's it say when she has to..."
earldebuke 7:20pm
"... be proud..."
earldebuke 7:20pm
" am proud of her, ashamed of..."
earldebuke 7:20pm
"..silly..."
catnik 7:22pm
Her poor, abused cuticles... she chews them darn near bloody.
earldebuke 7:23pm
"... let me, I'm your wife..."
