Things change sometimes [The summer I turned pretty]

Chapter three

Summer

Diana

I analysed Jeremiah's room and I realise that it's disgusting.

— Your room stinks Jeremiah.— 

— Yes, yes, I'll clean it tomorrow.— He says coming out of the bathroom.

We left Jeremiah's room and Steven looks at me from top to bottom and smiles.

— You look beautiful tonight.— He takes my hand and gives me a turn.

— Don't overdo it with my sister Steven.— he says that and I get laugh. — But you really look amazing.— 

We went down the stairs and said goodbye to mom and Laurel, belly and Conrad are in the pool so we went out through that door.

— First bonfire of the summer!.— Steven says excited. The three of us laughed in tune.

— All right, we're totally taking my car. You're not driving.— Jere says and Steven laughs.

— Come on, man, we're leaving, You ready?.— Steven says referring to Conrad.

— Can I come, too?.— I feel bad about belly, but she's only fifteen and it's dangerous for her to be there, I would invite her but I just try to take care of her

— Uh, no.— Steven says.

— The moms are getting everything set up for your movie night.— I try to make her feel better, but to no avail, it shows that she is no longer entertained by those things as before.

— See you.— Conrad says.

— Let's go, slowpoke.— I'm telling Conrad.

I wrap my arm around Conrad's shoulders.

— Have fun with the moms!.— Steven says.

— Shut up Steven.— I'll say laughing.

we walk until we reach Jeremiah's car.

— Can I sit in front?.— I ask

— The girls first.— Steven says and then he opens up my door and I get into the car, He closes the door for me and sits in the back of the car with Conrad.

Jeremiah lets me place my playlist, the truth is that he has no other choice. I sing every song until my favourite you belong with me starts, since I was nine years old that I love this song, it's like my anthem.

— This is my song!.— I say very excited, I turn up the volume on the radio and start singing it at the top of my lungs.

You're on the phone with your girlfriend 

She's upset, she is going off about 

Something that you said

Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I continue like this with all the lyrics of the song, and suddenly, when I see the rearview mirror that Steven was smiling, I like it when he does it.

We get to the campfire, everyone is drinking and smoking, I know, we get off and everyone does their own thing, I sit at the campfire, Conrad is kissing a girl and Steven is talking to one, just like Jeremiah.

Suddenly it was heard that a girl is screaming, it sounds exactly like belly, in fact it is, it, is fighting with Steven and suddenly it falls to the ground, belly?, here?.

I see that belly is on the shore of the beach sitting alone, I don't think it's mature what she did but she's fifteen, she wants to go out to parties and get drunk until she loses consciousness, that's fine.
