The warm summer breeze hugs me from everywhere as i walk down San Pedro Square. It's finally summertime, the best time of the year but also the most busy time in the flower shop. To be exact; Roland's Flower Shop. My favorite place on earth. The place i feel safe.
Tourists are already starting to flourish the town. Nonna says that it's the most important time of the year. Mostly because of the revenue but also because it's the time of the year where the flowers blossom. I like to go flower picking. It gives me a break from the world, in other words it's calming.The packages is starting to feel heavy. I finally see the flower shop."Oh good you got the packages!" Nonna says and puts the last flowers in a vase."Let's get them upstairs, come" she say's and takes some of the packages. We walk upstairs and place the packages on the table. In the room there is 2 sinks, some small tables and one big table in the middle."Petra! Can you come up here" Nonna shouted. The sound of footsteps became louder. Mom appears in the doorframe."Yes?" ."Look! The last things finally arrived" nonna says and searches for a scissor."Oh finally! I was starting to get worried that they'll never arrive !" Mom says. Inside the box there is plenty of beautiful ribbons in countless colours, some vases, decorations and so many other things."Wow we never put so much effort into the summer season" i say. Mom kisses me on the forehead."Shouldn't you head to school now?" she asks."Oh yeah, right" i say and grab my backpack. Downstairs Lydia, Elsie and Winny is decorating the store."Are you heading to school" Lydia asks and sets up the cash register."Yeah, want me to bring them to kindergarten?" i ask."That would be great, you know how busy we are right now and there is so much to do-"."Don't worry i got it!" I cut her off. I help them with their backpacks and soon we are on our way down San Pedro Square.
The sun is shining and the shops are opening soon. Elsie and Winny are chit chatting and holding hands."You wanna know a secret Kate?" Elsie asks."Yeah sure"."Mom forgot to make us lunch!" Elsie giggles."She is super busy!" Winny ads."Oh no.." i look at my phone. 7.46 am."Ok we'll just.... uhh- go to starbucks!". I hope Lydia won't get mad at me. But in the other side it's her fault. I hold their hands as we cross the street to take a short cut to Starbucks. The waiting line was long but I could never starve my cousins. I bought two sandwiches with ham and cheese and we rushed down the streets.
7.59 am
The hallway was noisy and crowded. I made my way to my locker."Jenny! oh god it's crowded!" I complain and open my locker."Yeah I know.. but it makes sense you know. It's the week" she says."What? week?" I ask."Uh you are making fun right now right? its the summer prep week" Jenny says."Oh my gosh I forgot! we have been so busy at the shop! god!". Abby and Kira shows up."Hey!! how's your planning going... you know on the big day" Abby squeals."What? i'm so confused"."Kate you work too much! it's Jenny's sweet sixteens soon" Kira says."Oh my gosh, of course. I'm so sorry!"."It's going well I guess. Im planning to invite as many as possible" Jenny says."It's gonna be AMAZING!" Abby says excited.
10.25 am
The library is full of students prepping for last day of school, graduation and all that."Heyy folks wanna skip class?" Maeve asks and sits on top of the table. Maeve is a senior and honestly I don't get why she chooses us juniors instead of the other seniors. But fair I have no complains."Be quiet the librarian can hear everything!" Jenny says."Ugh she wouldn't give a single shit anyways" Maeve says."Its summer prep week we can't skip" Jenny says."We literally do nothing in summer prep week. After lunch we have to paint the school. The school is literally so broke that they can't afford painters so they will make us do it, Imma skip. Meet me outside the school in 10 minutes. Levi, Jay, Gloria, Eli and Jason will be there. Some others will prop join later" Maeve says and leaves quickly."Be quiet!" the librarian yells."See I told her! And we aren't going right? There's gonna be people we don't know!" Jenny says frustrated."Aw come on.. it's summer soon and it'll be fun" I say."Seriously?" Jenny says."Doens't hurt right?" i say while getting up to leave. She quickly follows.
