      Summer usually started in June. June 17th to be on the money but this summer started with June dead. Not June the month. June the person, my grandma June died in June just before her birthday in June. I mean I was completely ok it just changed how my summer usually starts. For example, instead of wearing a bathing suit to school and basically taking my clothes off when the last bell rang. my summer going to senior year my mom picked me up and we drove to the wake that was a sold two hours of my time. At Least my cousin was there so we could drag about shit that we shouldn't be bragging about like how many times we almost got caught high or how many people knew our names that we didn't know.
    And once that was over, June was alive. Not the person, no, the month and when I got home I ran upstairs and used the 25 minutes I had to do my hair, makeup and pick out an outfit, then grabbed my car keys from the kitchen counter and told my mom I'd be back. I got in the car and stared at myself in the rear view mirror.
      "I'm officially a fucking senior" I told myself. I talked to myself a lot. Not like weird shit but just plain stupid shit.  I drove myself to my friend norby's house. ( not the best idea )
Got out of the car in a bathing suit and walked to his back yard.
      "Norbs!" I said as I walked over to give him a hug.
      "You have to go down the slip and slide of your fucking leaving" he said. I had notice the slip and slide. If you could even call it that, it must have been a makeshift slide// pool. All I knew was it stretched completely across his hill of a yard and kids sliding by fast.
     " No thanks norby," I laughed.
      " then fucking leave" - norby. There was about 20 people over. Norby didn't like big parties because people pissed him off. He liked would only ever invite the "gang." The gang consisted of around popular 25 seniors who loved drinks and late nights. All the guys in the gang had already went on the slide and the chicks. The so called "goons" we're just standing around the guys, not one of them wet from the slide. I pointed to the group of the goons and said.
       "Norby why don't they have to go in?"
        " because you were 30 minutes late so you have to go." He said as I lost eye contact and shrugged. Then his back door opened and stubbing out was my boyfriend mikey.
       " he fell when he saw Halle." Laughed my guy friend Brian. They all laughed a little as mikey blushed. He walked up to me, kissed me then started talking to me. It couldn't have been more then 30 seconds before Brian came up to me and started talking.
        "Halle you know you have to go in water right?" He said, soaking wet.
        "hard pass" I laughed. Brian looked at me, then looked at mikey.
         "Fuck it" he said as he picked me up by the legs. My ass was practically in his face. I kept kicking Him and he would just laugh. Everyone was laughing at me. As he threw me on the slide. I was going slow enough so I rolled off the side and tried to stand up, he just ran into me, grabbed me and went down too.
       The water was fucking freezing, but everyone was laughing, so I laughed to.  Mikey didn't do anything about it.
     Eventually all the girls went down the slide and to warm up we say by the camp fire. And it wasn't till I was tired, drunk and bored that I pitched the idea of a walk.
       Since the gang wasn't filled with fucking retards like myself, no one was interested in going on a walk except my two friends Julia and Christy. And off for a walk we went, five minutes later, drunk conversation number one started. "Do you believe in God?"
