An Amusing Start


Trevor gathered the last of his firewood, then threw a lit match in to start the campfire. He went back inside and called up the group for the usual fun activity.
โ€œHey Grant, its Trevor. Come over at 7 PM, Thanks. Bye.โ€
โ€œHi Jane, its Trevor. Come over at 7 maybe? Thanks.โ€
โ€œJack! Itโ€™s Trevor. Come over at 7? Thanks dude.โ€
โ€œGreetings, Ally. Itโ€™s just me, Trevor. Come over at 7 please, Thanks.โ€
โ€œYo Todd! Come Hang at 7, thanks. Peace!โ€
As Trevor waited, he prepared marshmallows on a stick, and poured a bag of chips on aluminum foil. He stepped back outside, holding a wooden roaster. Itโ€™s features held two pieces of wood connecting with a stick in the middle that lifted a short rope. This object is used for cooking over the fire. Not a stove. Over the real fire.
The doorbell rang several times, and Trevor ran into the house, opening the door. โ€œ Hey guys! Just in time,โ€ he spoke, panting for a couple of minutes. โ€œCome in, come in!โ€ Everyone had shown up. โ€œHey Lee, whereโ€™s your family?โ€ Grant asked. โ€œThere up in Greece, taking a vacation.โ€ Trevor replied. They went into the backyard and sat on the logs near the campfire. โ€œWhy didnโ€™t they take you with them?โ€ Allison joined in. Todd and Jack agreed by nodding.
โ€œThey said I cause trouble,โ€ he said, putting the roaster over the fire. โ€œand that they need a break from me.โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s just messed up like corn.โ€ Jack added. The others stared at him straight in the eye about how corn was messed up. โ€œWhat?โ€ Jane asked mockingly.
โ€œGuys, guys. I got some food inside, any of you want some?โ€ Trevor quickly changed the subject, then went inside.
โ€œI wonder whatโ€™s for meal tonight!โ€ Todd licked his lips.
โ€Hope it ainโ€™t โ€˜em corn again.โ€ Jack said. If you want to know, Jack was influenced by the farmers who lived across him. The rest of the group giggled.
โ€œWhat the cowโ€™s wrong with yโ€™all?โ€ Jack felt offended and ran inside by the time Trevor was carefully walking outside, hoping not to spill any of the food he had prepared.
โ€œWhat happened to him?โ€ He pointed to Jack through the windows. Jack was watching the Redneck channel on TV. There was a burst of silence while Trevor put the food on the roaster.
Wow! The aroma scattered everywhere. Fresh baked beans, roasted marshmallows, chicken and barbecue. Donโ€™t forget about the chips, too.
Everyone saw Jack peek out at the food from the window for probably five minutes, then he came outside with plates for everyone. A big โ€œthanksโ€ from the group came to Jack, and they lined up getting their plates.

The Next Day...


The sound of Trevor's alarm clock awakened him. He looked at the time.

7:15 am

Trevor's LATE for school!! He put on a tee and jeans, and slipped on a pair of shoes. He made a quick glance around his room to make sure he had everything. Trevor carried his bag, grabbed his skateboard and rushed out of the house.
