~*My POV*~ 

Okay, so I owe you a back story. The 'grape war' as everyone shouted coming off the back porch? Yeah, that's what happened last year after a CC meet. 

~*Le Flashback*~

After I crossed the finish line on that late September day, I went back to the school bus/camp to take a breather. I grabbed a water bottle out of the cooler and heard the chatter of the crowd and the high schoolers around me. "God, this course." "It's not as bad as Faurot (Foo-rote) " "That's true"

I grabbed a granola bar and a bag of grapes and went over to Nic, Madi, Aryn, Jackson and those peoples. Munching on stuff, I think Nic and Jackson said something mean to Madi causing a waste of grapes. I was in the middle of it. "What the hell guys!?" I said shielding my face. I tried to get out of the way but I see Madi getting hit with a bunch of them. 

"Holy shit!" I looked over to Nic looking down at his skin. I see a red welt forming onto his skin. Madi and Jackson go over to him. "That's awesome!" He yells. I facepalm myself. "Oh Nic you need help." I said trying to walk away. But as I did, a grape flew past my ear. I turned around and saw Jackson laughing hard.

"You're a dead human Jackson." I say grabbing a grape from my bag. Chuck it as hard as I can and it hits his leg. "OWW!!! OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!" He repeated over and over again.

For like 5 minutes we kept throwing grapes at each other. Not once was I hit. Hehe....they still don't know.  

At that moment, Nic goes to the cooler for more grapes. "What the fuck, man?! We're out of grapes!" Jackson runs over and his face is flooded with defeat. 

"Thank God!" I heard Madi sighing.

On the bus back home, Jackson and Nic move up to the seat next to me and Madi. "That was fun!" Jackson laughs jumping up and down. "Yeah it was but it hurt! It left welts all over my skin!" Madi's voice high as she looked down at her arm. "You're all crazy." I laughed returning my eyes to my book, but close it since it was nearly dark outside. 

"What should we call it?" Nic asked. "Grape war?" I suggested. "Yeah! That works just wonders." He agrees. 

And to this day, we still call it that. 

~*End of flashback*~

"OW OW OW OW OW!!!!! Okay okay!! We're done!" For some reason we dropped the grapes and got 2 hoses, 10 water guns and started spraying each other to the point where we're all drenched. 

We finished our dinner and s'mores before everything. "Guys come inside, it's getting dark!" Kylie's mom called from the back door. I then realized how far away from the house we were. We were almost close to the woods. "I think it's best we go back." Kylie says in an obvious tone. We head back. 

I look at the time and it read 9:30. "Crap. I have to go home soon." I feel a pit dropping down into my stomach. "Well I think Chris's mom's coming." Kylie's mom says. And at the moment, my friend's phones go on beeping fest. Minus Kylie's and Sydney's. Sydney's house is just behind Kylie's.

"Seems like they all want us home." Nic says playfully. "Well Taylor you could stay for a while. I don't know about Ishya." Kylie points out. "What do have to do tomorrow?" 

"All I know I have a shit load to pack still. Double check plane reservations and probably go to everyone's houses to see them off." I lean against the counter top.

"I just noticed something.....You're all dripping." Her mom says rushing out of the kitchen to get towels as if we were going to shed water on her floor. I try my best to stifle a yawn as I see the same with Victoria. "Aw.....Are the girls tired?" Nic says in a baby voice. Victoria punches him lightly on the shoulder while I smile at him. 

"You guys are just.......weird?" I say putting my forehead on my hand, shaking it. "WELL DUH?!!" Kylie screams in my ear. "Holy shi--." I was cut off. I get knocked down on to the floor like Taylor, by someone. 

"Ow?!" Taylor yells, running up to Nic and slapping him. "Oh dear." I say getting up. Chris is doubled over laughing. I roll my eyes. 

Kylie's mom comes back with towels for every single one of us. I pat down my legs and my arms suddenly feeling warmer. I wring out my hair and I hear my phone ring. I pick it up and see it's my dad. 

"Ishya, are you coming home soon?" He says through the receiver. "Who is it?" Sydney says from behind me. I hold up a finger to wait.  "I was actually going to call you right now, daddy." I reply. 

"It's her dad." Chris I hear saying to Kylie's mom who had just reappeared. "Oh alright. Do you want me to come now?" 

"Yes, daddy." After good-bye's, I hang up and turn back to my friends. "I have to go home guys. I'll come back tomorrow." I say over their groans. 

"ISHI DON'T GO!!!!!" Nic says hugging me. "Umm Nic?" I strain while awkwardly patting his back. "Oh sorry." He says pulling away.

I hear my dad honk the horn from outside. I hug all my friends good-byes, promising I'll be back tomorrow. "You'd better be." I wave again and run outside to my dad's car. "You're all wet?" My dad looks at me questionably. "They're all insane." I shake my head. He chuckles at my comment. We drive home and I go straight to my room to put on my sweats and sweatshirt. I brush out my hair and look straight into my reflection. I've changed a lot since 8th grade. Tomorrow is going to come by fast.

I turn on my fan and walk over to my bed. I felt restless, so I turned  onto my back staring at the dark blue ceiling. This really is going to be hard to do. I'm going to miss home. I'm going to miss my friends. I'm going to miss my family. I'm going to miss my school. I'm going to miss my freshman year. There was a lot that I was going to miss.

I glanced to my alarm clock. 11:50 PM. It was still August 13. But tomorrow was August 14. A new day. My last day. I roll over to my side about to sleep. Then I remembered Liam's birthday was August 29. I got a little something something for him.

I close my eyes and I'm washed up with fatigue. My eye lids close heavily. I forget everything and dive into my imaginary world.......
