SUMMER CAN LAST FOREVER

THE TRUTH COMES OUT

CONRAD
Its the middle of october now, halloween is vast approaching. The weathers cooled off, and its also midterms week. I havent seen belly since that night i drove over in the storm. I miss her lots, but i know shes been having fun with jere and taylor. This last weekend, the three of them took a road trip to springfield, and went camping. I wish i couldeve gone, but i had to study. Belly sent me pictures of the river, it was pretty. My favorite picture she sent me, was one of her standing next to a tree, smiling wide. The wind hitting her hair at the right angle. I love it so much, i made it my lockscreen.

Its monday, i have 2 mid terms today. One in math, the other in anatomy and physiology. The nice thing about mid terms week is its a short week, so on wednesday ill be done. Ill go to boston in the evening. Laurel got back from her florida press tour for her book. It just went number one on the nyt list, i know my mom would be so proud of her for continuing to write. Laurels agent wants her to go on a tour across the us. For 6 months, starting in january.

Bellys wants her to do it, and her mom promised her shed be back for graduation. Jeremiahs still living with them, i imagine he will til next year. For all the shit we went through over the summer, im glad she has him and taylor there. Jeremiah got into the running start program at finch, so hell be starting that next week, im so excited and proud of him too. I think hell do great. I hope he makes some good friends, he can maybe room with next year.

As for my father, jeremiah did press charges and wanted a restraining order. Which i thought was a great idea. Kayleigh left adam, after he was not nice to her. Good for her, she deserves better. I still dont like what her and my dad did to my mom, but shes still young herself. I trust she learned her lesson. Belly finally saw a sleep therepist, whose helping belly find ways to stop the dreams, and sleep better. She downloaded this sleep meditation app that she listens too. Both her and jeremiah have said its been working, so i believe its been helping.

I still get the weird sense shes keeping something from me still. I really wish, she would just fucking tell me already. Dont know why she hasnt, ive never once raised my voice at her words, even if they made me angry, or hurt. Mom raised me better than that. i wonder what she makes of all this if shes as proud of everyone as i am, if shed be proud of me. I have all As in my classes, i plan on keeping it that way. I get coffee and breakfast from the starbucks on campus, and head to my first class, which is calculus 2.

The professor hands out the test, i take a deep breath before starting. It takes me about an hour to complete the test. I use the remaining time to study for inroduction to anatomy and physiology. After calculus, i have a two hour break before my next test. Im on my way back to my dorm when someone calls out my name.

"Yo fisher, you seen the upcoming freashman walking around yet" tyler says, i roll my eyes

"For the hundreth time no, i have a girlfriend who i love and respect" i polietly but firmly remind him. I dont look at other girls. Ever.

"I got lots of girls. The running start students have their orientation, and i got my sights set on one" he muses.

Sometimes i wonder why i ever even talk to this guy."Tell me about her" im feeling somewhat nice right now. I cant be a dick to everyone. I do need some people to think im an alright person.

"Shes kinda tall, but not too tall. Huge tits man. Shes asian american, so shes got sleek black hair, and a pretty smile. Shes got style too, she was wearing tight skinny jeans, skin tight crop sweater that showed her tiny belly and curves" he replies, full of lust.

"Dude drink some water to quench that thirst" i tell him in my sassy tone.

"i overheard her and the girl next to her saying theyre from boston" tyler states and my expression changes. Could it be my isabel hes describing? No i think to myself, surely belly wouldve told me that she was planning on doing running start here and that she got in. Bostons a huge city, im sure its not belly hes talking about, and im just being paranoid conrad. We play a few games, before i have to head out.
