“Five more minutes you guys!” Tucker cried running over to Danny and Sam. Danny was sitting at his desk and staring at the floor. Sam was trying her best to comfort him. Tucker was watching both of them. “Okay, you guys are really bumming me out!” he exclaimed. “It’s almost summer! You know, the day we’ve all been looking forward to for weeks!”
Sam glared at Tucker. “Can’t you show a little respect Tuck? Danny’s a little upset right now!”
Danny sighed. “Don’t worry about me Sam. I’m okay.”
“Really?” Tucker asked, “Because you don’t sound okay!”
Danny was silent for a while. All he wanted to do now was go to Tommy’s house and explain what had happened. He would understand how Danny felt. Then Tommy would give some advice to make him feel better and then he and Danny would play a fun game to help him take his mind off of what had just occurred hours earlier.
Danny sighed once again. “Are you guys going to Tommy’s house with me?”
“My Mom said it was okay when I talked to her on the phone,” Sam said answering Danny’s question. “I have to be back by three o’ clock though!”
Danny smiled at her and then he turned toward Tucker. “What about you Tuck?” he asked. “Are you ready to meet Tommy?”
Tucker suddenly frowned. “I’m sorry, Danny!” he cried. “I can’t go! I need to get home and pack up my things for California!”
The grin slipped from Danny’s face once again. “You’re leaving?” he asked, disappointed. “When are you coming back?”
Tucker shrugged. “Somewhere between July and August.”
“You’re going to be gone practically the whole summer!”
“Sorry dude, but this is the only time of year I can visit my Uncle!”
Danny was so sad that he didn’t here the school bell’s final ring.
