ᵃ ˢᵘᵐᵐᵉʳ ᵗᵒ ʳᵉᵐᵉᵐᵇᵉʳ a fictional story by sofi Warm water. Cold drinks. The sun gleaming against your skin. No school. Friends. Summer parties. 7/11 slushies Fireworks. Staying up late. All of this. This is the summer I always remember. Every year. Always the same, always the best feeling. This is the summer I grew up with. And I intend to keep it that way. Tradition. But I know this year, this summer, is going to be different. The last day of school, I was laying on my bed. Window cracked open, fan at full speed. I had to get up to go to school. Every part of me would rather jump in the pool. One day. Only one day left. I got to school. Met up with all my friends. Tears glistening in our eyes. Last time I'd walk these hallways, last time I'd wait for lunch at the cafeteria, last time I'd sit with my friends and we'd all laugh at something stupid. I know how much I've said I want it to be summer, but the fact that i'm never coming back here, triggers something in me. All the memories I've created at this school. All the friends I've made. How am I supposed to just walk away from it? I know some people when they graduate, they are all pumped with excitement and ready to head off to college. Not me. I'm not ready. I'll be going to school far away from where I have lived all my life. That is why this summer has to be the greatest summer ever. One that will be engraved in my brain forever. It'd be one of the last times I'll see my friends before we head off our separate ways. This will be THE summer. The summer where I will live my life to the fullest. Try new things. Explore. Make new friends. Everything. This will be my summer to remember.
