Chapter 47

There’s a feeling you get on the last day of school that’s like no other. Especially the last day of seventh grade. You know you have all of eighth grade ahead of you, all of the rest of middle school behind you, and all of being called pixie and newbie out of the way. When you’re an eighth grader, you’re only one step away from high school, and that commands respect.

Bryce and I fed the animals. They all seemed okay, though Whitney looked skittish when we approached. We gave her some food and tried to stay out of her way.

We flew through the field and made it to school in record time, though riding through some tall grass really got our legs wet. It felt good to wear shorts on the last day since our classes were basically over, and all that was left was to hand in our books, clean out our lockers, and say good-bye.

At lunch there was a lot of free food—the cooks were cleaning out their kitchen—and Mr. Forster had a pie-throwing competition. For a dollar you could throw a whipped-cream pie at the gym teachers wearing plastic ponchos, and all the money went back to the school.

We had a band get-together at lunch and said good-bye to the eighth grade band members. Liz and Denise stayed to themselves, but at one point, Liz walked over to me. “Don’t think this is over, Timberline,” she said.

It was all I needed to decide to quit the band. I didn’t want to spend the summer worrying about next year. I knew it was a shame just to throw my flute away, but I’d had enough.
