Chapter Thirteen

Karlie

“That’s the last of it!”

Karlie and Bailey high-fived after placing the final box down in the storage room. “Is it just me or does this get harder each year?” Bailey asked, sitting on top of a plastic tub.

“I think it gets harder too. Like, where did all this shit come from?” Karlie asked, waving a textbook around before placing it on a bookshelf.

She leaned against the small counter that ran along one wall of the science storage room. At the end of the school year, Karlie had to pack and inventory all the materials in her room before packing it away in the storage room attached to it. Bailey usually helped, which made the time go faster, but it was still just as hot and tedious. Each year, Central Office turned the AC off so they didn’t have to pay for it when the buildings were empty during the summer.

“I think you need to stop buying shit at Target and Staples.” Bailey flung a rubber band at Karlie.

Karlie laughed. “Never! You know I can’t ignore a good deal.”

That being said, she intended to try and hold off on buying supplies over the summer. She had enough stockpiled goods she could get by without buying new things. Unfortunately, that didn’t mean too much to her when those deals started dropping.

“Oh, I know it all right. I just moved three boxes worth of paper. I mean, paper! Who has that much?”

Karlie shrugged and blushed. “I can’t help it. When it’s only a penny, I just buy it up.”

“Well, I think you’re set until retirement.”

Karlie pushed off the counter and walked back into her room. The chairs were all stacked and the tables pushed together. Besides the posters on the cinder block wall, you couldn’t tell it was her classroom anymore.

Bailey followed her out and stood beside her. “What are your plans for tonight? I think we need to celebrate the last workday of the year.”

Karlie blew out a breath. “I don’t know. Jax has a gig in Raleigh that I was thinking of maybe driving to. I told him I couldn’t go, but it might be nice to surprise him.”

Bailey bumped her with a hip. “That seems to be going well. I mean, you’ve been together, what, just over a month now?”

Karlie nodded. “Yeah, about five weeks.”

Bailey stepped in front of Karlie and raised an eyebrow. “You’ve been so close lipped! Give me something to work with.”

Karlie shrugged and pushed past, grabbing her things from her desk. “Not much to say.”

Bailey made a noise, and Karlie looked over her shoulder to catch Bailey rolling her eyes. “Not much to tell? Not only have you convinced Jax to date you, you’re practically attached at the hip. Well, maybe I shouldn’t say hip and I should say—”

“Okay, that’s enough out of you. You coming?” Karlie asked as she stepped around Bailey to her desk.

“Where?”

“Raleigh.”

Bailey narrowed her eyes. “Don’t think this gets you out of our talk, but sure.”

“See you in an hour or so?”

Bailey checked her watch.
