“So…friggin… hot..” My sister practically whispers. It’s sweltering here in California. With a heat wave of 112 degrees. I’m in a tank top and short shorts and I still can’t cool down. My sister, Ainsley, is in nothing but her spaghetti strap tank top and REALLY short shorts. Like, down to the top of her thighs short. “Carolina, go see if we have any ice cream or popsicles or SOMETHING. I’m practically dying of heat.” She complains. “Okay, first, you're not dying, it’s just unbearably hot. And second, why don’t you go get one yourself. Or ask Luke or Kayden or Alex? Why do I have to do it?” I complain.“Because Luke is out of the apartment for a bit, Kayden is with his friends, and Alex is at the library. And mom and dad are out of town for a few weeks. Also you're the youngest.” “UGHHHHHH. Fine.” I get up from my upside-down position on the couch and go to the freezer in the tiny kitchen we have. Seriously, it’s tiny. Mom and dad can’t even fit both of them in there. I open the freezer and the cold air whooshes from the compact space to my face. It. feels. amazing. “Ainsley, there are no popsicles.” I call from the kitchen. “What about ice cream? Is there any ice cream? Please say that there's ice cream.” “Nope.” I reply. Just as I’m leaving the kitchen, Luke, Kayden, and Alex walk in. “What are you doing?” Alex asks as he sees Ainsley lying on the ground. “I’m just hanging around. And dying.” “Ainsley, you are not dying. You just feel like you're burning in the fiery pits of hell.” Alex says. I’ve already escaped up to my room. Finally, Some air conditioning. I love my room. It has a loft bed and a desk and a window seat and a giant bookshelf with a lot of books. I love reading. I grab a random book off the shelf and plop down on a beanbag and start reading. Life is good. .
