Summer of '09

One

First day of summer, how nice, I actually loved how our school gave us exactly 3 months of summer. That meant 60 days. 60 days to do whatever the fuck I wanted. Which is nothing.... for now of course. I'm not going to spend another summer doing nothing no, not this time. This time I will go and explore. I said that last summer and i ended up doing nothing.. wow what a shame. I got up from bed and got dressed. I wore blue jeans, a white shirt with red sleeves, and my red converse. I walked out my door and stood outside for about 5 minutes and walked back inside. "What was that?" My mom walked towards me. "I honestly don't know what to do today. it's summer and I have nothing to do" I groaned. "Call your friends and ask them if they want to hang out" she suggested and walked up the stairs. Wow I really didn't even think about that. I called the first person on my contact list which was Annabelle. "Ann! Hey what you up to?" I smiled hoping she was free. "i'm at the baseball field watching the guys play baseball, you should come I'm really bored" she laughed. Yes finally something to do. "yeah sure I'm on my way" I hung up and gathered my stuff. "MOM! I'M LEAVING OK! I'LL BE BACK BEFORE DINNER" I yelled from downstairs so she could hear me. "BE SAFE!" She yelled back. I rode my bike to the baseball field and saw Ann siting in the bleachers by herself. I walked up the bleachers and sat next to her. "Hey Darcy" she smiled. "hey" I smiled back. I looked at the guys, I noticed that one of them went to our school. Dallas, Dallas James, was his name, most popular boy in school. I heard so many stories about this kid. One was that he had killed this one kid at a movie drive in, but that was just a rumor. Another was that he had sex with a teacher, that was an even worse rumor. "Life sucks" Ann blurted out. I chuckled "why do you say that?"
"Well for starters this guy at the bowling alley came up to me and asked me if I wanted to fuck in the restroom, how disgusting can people be" she shivered. I wanted to throw up hearing that. There aren't any good guys anymore and that makes me really sad for the future. Dallas walked over to us "Sis I need a drive home, take me?" I realized that he was talking to Ann. Sis? I didn't know Ann was Dallas sister. I mean they don't even have the same last name. "Yeah sure, you want me to drive you too Darc?" I snapped out of my thoughts "Sure" I smiled. We pulled ourselves up and headed to her truck while we waited for Dallas to get his stuff and meet us at the parking lot. Ann had a 2 door truck which meant we all had to be squished together. But hey I'm not complaining. I sat in the middle since Dallas would get off first. Halfway home i realized I left my bike, Great. I felt so comfortable in between these two honestly wow. I was just starting to enjoy it but that came to an end when Ann stopped in front of Dallas house. He got out and closed the door behind him. He turned back around. "Thanks Ann for the ride, and you both should go to the field,we're going to be there everyday just meet us there at 3 pm" he smiled and walked inside his house. Ann drove off, for a minute there was silence but I didn't really like silence so I tried to make conversation. "I didn't know Dallas was your brother" "Brother? Oh no he's not he's my friend" "but he called you sis" "haha that's what he calls me we've been friend since grade school" "oooh" I felt stupid. "so where you want to go?" I didn't know where honestly but I just didn't want to be in my house all day. "Mall?" She nodded and started driving towards the shitty mall we had. I almost jumped out the car when I heard what was playing on the radio. 'I try' by Macy Gray. Jesus that song got me every time. I turned it up. Ann smiled, I knew she loved this song. We sang together

♪I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near♪

We both sang our hearts out even though neither of us could sing. We laughed until we couldn't anymore. I turned it down after the song was over. "Damn" she happily sighed "that song hits me deep" I chuckled. After spending 2 hours and about $300 at the mall we decided to go home. I loved how I could always count on Ann to make my day. There wasn't one boring minute with her. We spent the whole ride back to my house singing, laughing, and making jokes about some bitchy girls at our school. She parked in my drive way "Thanks for not letting me sit in my room all bored" I laughed with Ann "hey no problem,I'm always here just give me a call." She smiled. "oh and thanks for the ride home" I smiled. She nodded, I got off and walked towards my house door. Before she could leave I turned around to wave goodbye. I watched Ann drive off. I headed inside my house and made my way up stairs. I was about to open the door to my room when I got a call. I took my phone out of my pocket. Unknown number... "Hello?" I spoke clearly. "Hey Darcy its me Dallas" DALLAS!? How did he get my number? "oh hey what's up?" "I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out tomorrow?" "Yeah of course" I'm screaming on the inside right now. "cool I'll pick you up at 1" the line cut off after the that. Well this is going to be a great summer. I opened my room door and put everything away. "Are you coming down for dinner" my mom walked in my room. I panicked a little because she would freak out about all the clothes I bought. "um yeah I'll be right down" I flashed my cheesy smile. "ok hurry because it going to get cold" wow she didn't say anything about the clothes. I walked to the dining room. I took my seat in my usual spot. "So how's summer going?" My dad asked me and my brother who was 12. "Bro me and the boys went skating. I almost it did a 360 Dad!" He screamed in excitement. I chocked on my food for laughing "biiiiitch you wish" I laughed "Darcy stop, that's good son" my dad patted his back. "Drew wouldn't you like to tell your dad what else happens at the skate park" my mom raised her eyebrow. oh god I love when she does this. she puts him right on the stop. "Ooooooh you're in trouble" I mumbled trying not to laugh. "So what happened" my dad asked him as he drank his beer. "Well um there was this kid...." he gulped "and he brought s-some cigarettes" oh shit my mouth flew open. "ok and..." My dad clenched his jaw. I knew how much he hated smoking since his mother had died from it. "I ALMOST took a hit but I didn't because I knew how much you hated it" I rolled my eyes at the fact that I was almost going to be the favorite. "I'm proud of you my boy" my dad hugged him. After finishing dinner I went to my room and sat on my bed thinking about what me and Dallas will talk about tomorrow. I looked at the time and saw it was 12:36 am "oh my god I have to go to sleep early! Big Day tomorrow!" I said to my self smiling. I went to sleep happy.
