"lucia, we need to get out and do something! it's the first day of spring break." flowers were sprouting. the grass was greener than ever. it was a sunny afternoon, school had just ended and spring was arriving. my best friend beatrice was over, like always.
beatrice and i have been best friends for as long as i can remember. our mothers were pregnant at the same time and have always been inseperable, so we were bound to become best friends. beatrice was the most beautiful girl ive ever met. with her long brown hair, her blue eyes, perfect personality, she was what all the guys wanted.
me on the other hand, couldnt find a boy to save my life. growing up ive always been told i was a beautiful girl, and that the boys were just intimidated. ive never been able to see what everyone else sees.
"okay fine, we can go downstairs and ask mama what she thinks." my mom and dad have always been protective over me. i may be getting older, but i still need to check in with my parents on everything i do.
we walk down the stairs and into the kitchen. i see my father smoking his cigar and my mother reading the newest articles in her brand new magazine. walking up to my father i wrap my arms around his shoulders and rest my head on my arms. "before you ask, we have visitors, and i would like you to be home the rest of the day to have dinner with us." i frown and drag out my whine. "but daddy, it's the first day of spring break. why can't me and beatrice go out?" i try and give him my saddest face, but unfortunately he doesn't cave in. "because i said so, and you need to respect my rules. plus, i think you'll be rather pleased to see who is coming over. beatrice, you may stay to keep lucia company."
beatrice jumps up and down, while i'm trying to figure out who it could be that is coming over.

me and beatrice were laying in the backyard, in our hammocks when my mom comes out. "honey, the guests will be arriving in about an hour and a half, please make yourself presentable. and beatrice feel free to take anything in her closet that you need." my mom smiles at us as i slowly but surely, drag my limbs out of the hammock and sigh. me and beatrice make it to my room and my closet and start getting ready.
i put on a white summer dress, that goes off the shoulder. i replace my locket necklace with a dainty cross, and gently brush through my hair. i try to put some makeup on but not too much.
"oh lucia, you are so beautiful" beatrice tells me, i smile and tell her she is as well. before we continue with our conversation my mother comes in and tells us it's time for dinner.
