Summer Nights

Intro and author's note

Hey guys!!! 

First things first... I'm not a writer...  and everything in this book may sound cliche!!!!   This is my second story (the first one was kinda stupid in my opinion and I do not recommend you looking back at it!!!!)

Another thing... don't be hating!!!! I honestly don't think that this book will get anymore reads than my friends on wattpad (which isn't much)!!! love ya guys!!! 

One more thing... I don't own any famous movie references or people my characters talk about.  I'd do the copyright thing in the beginning, but it was too confusing.  

ANYWAY ON TO THE STORY!!!!  

Amber's Pov (seventh grade): 

I just had the best dream ever! And then my parents had to wake me up for the most dreading thing to happen to the shyest kid ever... middle school.  Now middle school for me is different than most kids.  I go to a private school so the teachers crack down on bullying a lot better than public schools, but that doesn't mean that it still doesn't happen.  

I get up and get dressed for another day at school.  "Just this year and one more year before you can get away from those stupid boys!" I tell my self looking in the mirror.  As shy as I may be,  I still have some confidence in my look.  I may be short but that's the only thing that sort of bothers me.  I'm still hoping for a growth spurt.  

I walk out of the bathroom in my school uniform and head out to the kitchen to eat breakfast, oatmeal with brown sugar.  My brother already left for school with my dad.  He's 16 and goes to this school called East High.  It's a private high school for all boys and is right next to West High, which is a private school for all girls.  I'm dreaming for the day where I will finally go there! 

After scarfing down my food, I grab a jacket and run out the door.  It takes me 15 minutes to walk to school every morning.  I walk into school 20 minutes early and head to my locker.  I open it and look at photos.  There's at least one for everything I'm passionate about.  Me playing golf,  me from science camp over last summer, me singing on stage for the first time, and me playing my violin at my latest performance.  MY VIOLIN!!!  I can't believe I left my violin at home! I never forget it ever!!!

I texted my mom that I need her to ride up my violin after school.  I must have been thinking about that dream I had last night when I left for school.  It was about me becoming friends with my crush, Carlos Curtis.   I know that I'll never date him for many reasons. 

1) He is popular and all the girls like him. 

2) I'm not allowed to date until I turn 16. 

3) Nobody talks to me unless they need my help or they want to pick on me or my braces. 

I've always wanted to be friends with a guy.  My only friend is the girl that I babysit, Liz, and she is in third grade.  But my dream was that we were close and I wasn't shy around him.  Everybody but Liz thinks that I'm always shy and quiet but I'm actually kind of quirky once you get to know me.  

Maybe this is a sign that Carlos will actually notice me.
