Everything that happened those summers

1.

Sitting at my vanity in the morning, doing my makeup while the sunrises, listening to music, is my favorite feeling ever. I have my beach playlist going in the background even though summer is basically over. Today is the first day of Sophomore year! I'm wearing white jean shorts and an electric blue, tight tank top that's just a little cropped. My favorite color. It still hot here in Seaside and will be for a while. I finish my makeup as my best friend waltzes in my room. She's wearing a white off the shoulder t-shirt with blue jean shorts. I love everything about that outfit. 

"Happy first day!" She says handing me a celsius and laying on my bed. "You're the best, Lena." I reply opening my can. Our school starts at 8:20 and its currently 7:45 so we need to leave in about 15 minutes to make it there by 8:05. We both live pretty close. 

I grab my bag and head downstairs with her, putting on a pair of platform converse which are the same color as my top. I start packing my lunch as Lena reads off our schedules. "First period i have Math, as do you. Second i go to AP united states history and you go to music theory..." She continues to read them off as i finish my lunch. 

"So we have first period, math together, third period, chemistry, then lunch together, and finally sixth period, sewing. Perfect!" I smile, putting my lunch box in my gray backpack. "3 periods and lunch together is absolutely perfect." 

She nods as we head out to her car and i lock the door. My parents are not super involved so me and my friends almost always hangout at my house. Their both doctors, and their phenomenal at it, but not at parenting. 

I check my schedule one more time as Lena starts her drive. First period, Algebra 2, second period, music theory, third period, honors chemistry, fourth period, honors ELA, then lunch at 12:06, fifth period, Spanish 2, sixth period, sewing, seventh period, Orchestra, and eighth period, AP united states history. APUSH is the class i am most looking forward to. 

I smile and put my phone away, satisfied with my classes. We pull into the parking lot and Lena parks next to our friend, and the guy she's talking to, Blake Garcia. She waves and exits her car to go to his, meaning i follow. Blake turned sixteen August 2 so he could have been a Junior, but he just barely missed it. I cannot wait to be sixteen. November 11th! I grab my phone and bag and follow her in. We hop in the backseat, where our semi-friend Caroline is already sitting. Me and Lena play soccer with her, but we just never clicked and honestly she's kind of rude. 

Her boyfriend, Conor Blaine, and Blake's best friend is sitting in the front seat. He says , "Hey", to us as we hop in and we all compare schedules. Me and Lena have first period with Caroline, that's it, Lena has a few classes with Blake, but i only have first and third period with him, and i surprisingly have 5 classes with Conor. Math, Chemistry, ELA, Spanish 2, and Us history. 

"Guess i'll be seeing you a lot, Keely." I laugh and smile at him. Caroline gives me a look and it takes everything in me not to roll my eyes. Me and Conor are friends. Well more like acquaintances. My best friend is talking to his best friend, so we're kind of friends. 

We head inside around 8:10 to make sure we get good seats in math. Me and Lena meet our best friends, Zara and Grace, outside math. In our quad, me and Lena are BFF's and Zara and Grace are as well so it all works out. Sadly this is the only class all four of us have together. 

Us four sit at a table, and Blake, Conor, and Caroline sit at the table next to us. Our teacher Mrs. Walker, doesn't actually make us do any work. We play icebreakers with our partner table, Caroline's. "Everyone share where you grew up, and you will all vote from each group who has the coolest place." 

I roll my eyes as Lena nudges me. "It'll definitely be you!" Lena is to my right, and Conor to my left, but Lena starts and goes right meaning i'm last. Everyone here grew up in some part of Florida. I think the most unique one was Conor who grew up in Panama city. Well, until i went. "I grew up in Ioannina, Greece."
