Summertime in the Country

New Friends in Athens

I woke up feeling much better, so I go to the store to get some things for Aunt Pat. I look at the list she gave me

Noodles
Pesto Sauce
Broccoli
Pasta Sauce
Chicken
Chicken Broth
Shrimp

That should be easy enough. I take a shopping cart and start heading to the noodle aisle.

I pick up some angel hair then head over to the
chicken aisle.

I'm not sure what kind to get, so I ask someone nearby who looks my age.

"Excuse me? Do you know what brand of chicken I should get?" I ask her
"Here you go," she says and points to one. "Hey, are you from Turnberry High School? You don't look familiar," she asks.
"Oh I don't live here. I'm visiting my aunt and cousin," I say.
"From where?" She asks.
"New York City," I reply.

And we talk for hours after this. I finally just ask for her number and name because I need to finish shopping.

"My name is Abby Wilde," she tells me.
"I'm Wendy Green," I reply.

We exchange numbers and I continue my shopping. As well as stuff on the list, I grab gum, soda, and Cheeto's. I head home and give Aunt Pat her groceries. I take my bag of stuff up to my room.

Aunt Pat and Teresa have a pool, so I ask if I can invite Abby (who goes to Teresa's school) over to swim. Aunt Pat says yes. When Abby arrives, I go get the door.

"Hey Abby!" I say
"Hi Wendy," she replies. Then Teresa comes over to smile and wave. We head to the pool and all jump in.

I cannonball and purposefully hit Teresa. She glares at me and I smile. I grab us sodas and we swim in the pool for a while.

After dinner, which was spaghetti, we hung out in my room until her mom came and picked her up. Then, I ate Cheeto's and hung out till I was exhausted. I got ready for bed and fell onto my bed, ready to sleep.
