It was the hottest day of the year. The students at Bishop O’Dowd high school were burnt, tired, and ready to go home. A group of students, however, were excited for the heat. When the clock struck 3, they would take the 682 to Piedmont Avenue and hang out. Unfortunately, Sidonie, one of the girls in the group, was not allowed to venture out on the bus even though she was in high school already. Sidonie was frustrated with her parents for this, but wouldn’t let the small dilemma ruin her day with her friends. At 3 o’clock, Sidonie was picked up by her mother and taken home (which just happened to be approximately 5 minutes away from the high school.) She told her friends that she would meet them after she was finished doing her homework.
After multiple phone calls and text messages from her friends, Sidonie went to Piedmont Avenue and met her O’Dowd buddies, along with a few other friends at Fentons. The group of ten scurried around the busy streets and ended up at Eby’s mom’s house. Eby was one of the girls in the group who was a year older than the rest of the teens. Eby’s mom wasn’t home, for Eby was residing with her dad at his house that week.
“Hey, Eby, can we break into your mom’s house?” inquired Alex, one of the Bishop O’Dowd students.
“Um, sure, but there’s a spare--” Eby started, but Dylan interrupted her.
“Great! Alex, climb up the side of the house to the window and open it,” he said.
Sidonie, Bruno, Siena, Tae, Lindsay, Eby, Jak and Mori watched in awe as Alex did as Dylan said. With a few reaches of his long arms, Alex ascended the side of the house.
“I’ll get get the key,” Eby declared and sauntered to the front of the house to open the door. By the time the nine students were inside of the house downstairs, Alex was upstairs. He had gotten in through the window! Everyone was astounded at Alex’s accomplishment. The group of friends then went on to have a plethora of fun in the empty house. They cavorted with large cooking knives and window openers (which might have been useful when Alex was trying to climb through the window!) They spent about an hour in the house doing the things that teenagers do, and then strolled down to Tutti Frutti to get frozen yogurt. The perfect ending to a fun and successful day—despite the heat.
