I slammed my locker shut and smiled. School was over and was finally out of this horrible place for a whole summer. no more cranky teachers, no more long days spent sitting in a tiny chair. i sighed as a walked out of hallway and out to the parking lot i went to my blue pickup. it was an older model so i didn't have most of the things that other trucks had. like automatic windows and the light didn't work to tell me when the gas is almost empty so i have to make sure to watch the meter but other than that i love my antique truck.
I jumped up on the hood and later back testing my back against the warm metal as a waited for jodi. my best friend. me and jodi had known each other for years ever since like 1st grade, and to make things even better she lives like 2 miles from me so we are pretty much like always with each other.
"I'm here!" I heard a familiar voice yell. i opened my eyes and sat up.
"finally" I smirked.
"O wipe that smirk of your face right now! I wasn't that...late."I raised my eyebrow. "whatever." she sighed. "anyway guess who I just ran into!" I immediately jumped off the the hood and grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
"who!!" I laughed. wanting to know what my mischievous friend had done this time. last time she said this I ended up with a detention. for a whole week....lets not let that information of how i got into that just yet.
"tyler anderson!!!" she yelled so loud that I am pretty sure that every one of the school gossips could have heard it. tyler was the most popular boy in our old school and the biggest flirt this part of northern Missouri. i lifted my eyebrow showing her my and-then-what-face and stared at her. she glared at me then suddenly her face looked as it something had clicked.
"OH!!! yah, sorry, ummm he wanted to invite me and you to his end of school party next weekend." I frowned i didn't exactly like parties. people sitting around dancing to overly loud rock and roll and every where you turn there is a beer in someones hand. not exactly my thing.
"you know how i feel about parties." i frowned.
"yah know but its fun to live every now and again!" she pleaded. My face must of said something to her because she could tell I wasn't going to give in. "whatever" she sighed. "i have until next weekend to make you come."
"whatever you have to tell your self." i smiled sweetly then added. "but for now i have to get home dad said that he had hired some one to came work on the farm, and I want to be here when he or she arrives."
"Oohhh...He arrives..." She said while winking at me.
Jodi walked around to the side of the truck, opened the door, hoped in and shut it. i laughed as i ran around the drivers side and yanked open the door. with one single hop i was up in the cab.
"What did you mean by that?" I asked with a questionable lift of my left eyebrow.
"Nothing" she smiled sweetly. I rolled My eyes and started the truck and pretty soon we were one our way. as we made our way around to the exit a black pickup raced out ahead of us and screeched out onto the road. jodi screamed as I slammed on my breaks as I gasped for air. Beginning to feel more relaxed I leaned back in my seat.
"what the heck, tyler!!" i yelled and laid on my horn...which didn't work very well because it was brooke. jodi laughed.
"well that horn sure taught him." she giggled. i looked over at her and laughed. then we slowly went over to the long line with was now waiting to leave the school.
Our house wasn't very far away only 11 minutes so we where home in a jiffy. after i dumped jodi off at her place i started of to my house i got about 1 mile down the road when all of the sudden the car rolled to a stop. my heart stopped as i slowly looked up at the gas meter.
"sugar honey ice tea" i mumbled under my breath. yep the car was empty. i grabbed my phone to call my dad. then i released that the new boy would be working on the farm today or whoever it was. they are probably there by now. knowing my father would probably send them out to get pick me up.
i mumbled as i slipped my phone back down into my pocket and climbed out to the truck. i stared walking down the rocky road and counted how many times i almost tripped over them in my muck boots. i heard the roar of an engine and quickly whipped around to see who was coming. there was red pickup speeding my way as i jumped out of the way. it went whooshing past just as i moved.
"sorry!" i heard someone yell. i threw my hands up in the air and then shook my head.
"the people that drive now-a-days" i said as i continued on my merry way. i wonder whose truck that was? i have seen it a few times at my school but never seen anyone driving it.
............................................................................................................................
10 minutes later
before i knew it i was strolling down our long driveway. i looked out over a green pastures as the cows grazed along there merry way. i decided now was the best time to find my dad and wait for the upcoming tornado because i was 30 minutes late for are usual chores. i walked past our big barn down in the valley that used all of our hogs. they where fed already so i didn't bother stoping. then i passed up the horse barn, the chicken coop, and finally came upon my house it is a two story brown house with blue shudders, and a dark tin roof. i noticed a brown truck in the driveway. my heart raced as I ran up to the house. i knew exactly who it was. i burst in the house expecting to see him somewhere. failing to find him i walked in and headed up to my room changed into some older chorn' jeans and an shirt. i usually change once i get home or else my nicer clothes end up smelling like a half pig half horse woman. no matter how many times kids laughed at this i never did get why they would want smell like that.
I ran down stairs and heard my mom cooking in the kitchen. i looked at the clock ugg it was already 4:15 i have to go help my dad. i ran into the kitchen and tapped on her shoulder. she jumped. Probably because she couldn't hear me over the music coming from the radio. i laughed at her song she was listening to 19 something by mark wills. she turned and hugged me.
"where have you been young lady!" she scolded me. "you know that you are supposed to be home 45 minutes ago! your dad has been looking for you and i thinks its best if you go to him now."
"i am so sorry mom the truck died over by Jodis. i would have called but i was worried i would bother him with the help coming here." i argued not wanting to tell her the real reason i didn't call. "wheres alex?" i asked deciding to change to subject.
my moms head shot up and smiled as i mention his name. "darn he wanted to surprise you. he is out in the barn ,helping out the new boy. "
with new information i ran to the barn and rushed up to the boy standing in one of the horse stalls. i threw my arm around his neck and smiled. "YOUR HERE!!!" i yelled loud enough that i am pretty sure he will forever more be deaf.
"hey sis." he said hugging me back. i let go of my older brother and jumped back to look at him. he was about 6"4' and had dark black hair.
"you look great!" i said hugging him again. he patted my back and laughed. i missed that laugh so much last year he had left for collage all of the way in Illinois and i hadn't seen him since Christmas. "i can't believe your home!"
"yep i am home and your late" he smirked. i looked up at him. uh oh.
"ohhhh......i..um.."i started talking a mile a minute. "you see the truck ran out of gas, i had to walk home, and some guy almost hit me ,and i had to change and then mo-" he put his hand up and backed up as if to tell me to stop or he gave up trying to under stand me. i let out a bark of laughter.
"dad wants to see you." he said sternly. i nodded.
"where is the boy that supposed to be working? i though he was with you. "
" you sound anxious to see him. " I blushed but I quickly covered it up. Alex smiled "he was here but dad needed him to help load up some hogs to put into the bigger pens."
Once the baby piggies where old enough you had to separate them from the moms and the other over hogs so they where moved into a different pen by themselves.
"he is mad isn't he?" Remembering that the was usually my job.
"lets just say you need to be faster next time." i sighed this is going to be...fun. "did you say someone almost hit you?"
i nodded "yah some bozo almost ran me over and didn't even stop to ask if i was ok!" i felt my face get red as i thought about it. "anyway i have to go to dad. see ya"
i carried my self over to the back of the house and revved up my favorite toy, my 4 wheeler. i had gotten it last year for my birthday. she was red and blue and possibly the best thing ever, after that day i decided that her name was Roxy. as a rode over to the hog barn i saw something that made my blood boil. the red pick up truck was parked behind the barn. i kicked my 4 wheeler up a gear and sped over to the barn. i jumped off of Roxy and ran inside.
Inside there was dad and some boy shooing the pigs up into the trailer. unfortunately these pigs where still young and very tiny one little piggy didn't get the memo that they had to get in the trailer. It slipped around the boy and ran back my direction.
"i got it!" i yelled from the other side of the barn. they both jumped apparently just becoming aware of my wonderful presence. for a brief second me and my dad made eye contact. with a slight nod mentioning me to get it. they continued with there business. oh boy my dad is ticked.
i quickly ran and shooed the pig over towards the boys but it had a different idea. it continued to go towards me when i felt the pig was close enough i jumped toward it attempting to grab it. but the little squirt got away and ran past me. leaving me with a mouthful of hay. i continued to chase the piglet all over the barn every now and again trying to catch it. eventually the pig went to the long stretch that went down the middle of the barn i made one final leap at the little thing.
Out of no where the boy jumps from the there side of the lane in an attempt to also catch the pig. our bodies collided and we went rolling ended up on hay. the pig escaped the grasp of me and him and walked to the other side of the barn. for once i noticed that alex stood at the other side of the barn holing up his phone. he was videoing this!!! he reached down and picked up the pig with one clean sweep of his hand.
"ahem" i looked over toward my dad then i realized where was. i looked down and saw the boy just inches from my face. turns out i landed straddling him with one hand on each side of this head. This is going to be interesting....
