Final Excerpt...

This will be the last passage from my book that I will be posting on M.I. well... for now at least.

This is a part of Chapter 2: The Best of Times

The bus ride back was much more subdued than the first ride of the day. It was my belief that this was because the enormity of that night was finally sinking in on all of us. I knew it was hitting me hard.

"Anyone else getting nervous?" Anthony asked.

"A little. But I think that it's just because I'm trying to decide on whether or not I should wear pants under my gown tonight." Jack replied.

"Oh my God Jack! Why would you even think like that? No one here wants to see your thingy." Lily said as the rest of us nodded to agree.

"What are you nervous about bud?" Charlie asked turning to Anthony.

"I guess I'm nervous about the future." Anthony said as the bus pulled into the school parking lot. We began walking back to the bike rack. "You can never really know what is going to happen tomorrow."

"But that's the fun part," I chimed in. "Life would be no fun if we knew what was going to happen next."

"Yeah, there are only three things that are certain in life. Death, taxes, and Timmy's awkwardness around women." Jack added.

"Quit being such an A-hole Jack!" Lily said smacking him in the arm with the back of her hand. "Plus, Tim has never been awkward around me, well, no more than his usual weirdness."

This was a perfect time for one of Charlie's great insults, "But you're not a woman though." We all started laughing as Lily began repeatedly hitting him.

"It was worth it." He uttered as Jack pulled Lily away.
