Remember Summer

I guess I always thought life was about me. Me, me ,me.    

     But until school was out, something hit me. Literally. i felt a tire of motorcycle roll, pressing down on my ankle.

       The loud crack noise made me scream. My body fall. Made everything darker.  I could her the panic in everyones' voice. Until i couldn't hear anything at all. Until everything was black.

....

  Then I could start to hear voices. Was that my mother crying? What happened to me? My eyes opened a little crack. The doctor noticed as he and another guy pulled up the bed onto the back of the truck then he gave me a wet cloth to wipe my eyes with.

"I'm really sorry! I didn't see you! It was an accident!"

Then I noticed the boy who was talking to me. Was he in my history class? This is too much for me to handle. I was so uncomfortable I had to sit up. My ankle was hurting so bad, I cant even explain. I bit my tounge so I wouldn't scream . I gripped my nails onto the sheets of the hospital bed knowing, that my nails would break.

.... Later

      I saw my mom and the boy talking. Hello?! I'm hurt! Look at me!!! I pulled off the

sheets and then I saw a boot. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MOM! I GOT SURGERY?!  I DIDN'T EVEN AGREE TO THIS!!!!" I yelled.

"Ashton! Calm yourself! David is coming back soon." My mom said as her voice got calmer as she kept on talking. I tried to stand up so I could beat the crud out of my mom. But, my hip was hurting. There were no boys in the room so I lifted my hospital gown and saw a big, fat, bandaged thing on my hip. "Mom?! What did they do to me?!" I whined. "All you care about is yourself! You go ahead and do things without my permission!" Then i noticed a wheel chair next to the bed. I brushed my long shiny black hair, behind my shoulder.Then I slowly climbed into the wheelchair. I started pushing the wheels and purposly ran over my mom's foot. Before she could yell at me, I was already out the door.

.....

I found my way through the cafeteria. David. He was running, looking for someone. Then he caught my eye and ran toward me. He flashed a Starbucks cup towards me. Ohmygosh! He got me Starbucks! Is the cup clean?

"Oh. Wipe the cup cause your filthy hands touched that." I demanded.

"Not even a thank you?" David complained.

"Ummmm. You're the one who made me get surgery." I explained.

"Just take it." he demanded. I snatched the latte out of his hand.

" Girls can be Such divas." David muttered.

Then he turned back face toward me and gave me a napkin. "Here you go, princess." I dont know why but i kept visioning the look of him when he turned toward me. It was his eyes. I thought. No, his hair. Maybe his muscles. hmmmm. I looked up when I noticed he was staring at me.

    "It's dark out." I said. The cafeteria lights went out. "Wanna go see the stars?" I asked. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!  I yelled in my mind, He doesnt like you. He is a dirty boy. Not your Prince Charming. But i just shook the thought from my mind. I started push the wheels of the wheelchair. Then i turned my head and I saw him standing there, frozen. He knows i'm acting different. "Aren't you coming?" I asked as we went out the automatic door.

......

    We kept going until we reached a small field. Once we got there, he took my hand and carefully set me down in the grass. I was getting dirty, but. this time, I didn't care. We sat there for a while. I looked down to see where his hand was. Good. I thought, His hand is wide open. I slowly inched my hand towarda him until, our hands were almost touching. Right before I could grab his hand, he grabbed mine. He grabbed mine! "I'm really sorry I was being mean," I blurted out," I should think of others more often. And..... It being the first day of summer vacation, this is actually really nice." I cannot believe I just said that.

..... David's perspective

    After all this time she's actually being nice to "not the richest " teens in school. Her cheeks looked red when she looked over at me. Her green eyes made the grass look ugly. Her hair. I ran my fingers through her hair. Kiss her. My mind said. But I couldnt. It would be against the 7th grade policy the popular people declared the first day of seventh grade. But we're 8th graders now.

     I could tell she was thinking the same thing. We just layed there looking at each other. She looked down at herself. Right. She cant move towards me. So I inched towards her and kissed her soft lips.

......Ashton's perspective

  Best night ever!!

"Ashton!" I heard my mom calling. Then i pulled my head back. "Mom!!! David help me." I demanded. David pulled me up into my wheelchair. "Mom how did you find me?"I whined.

" I saw your wheelchair. We are going home." She said.

"I'll meet you in the car. Go ahead." I told my mom. After she walked away I looked over to David.

"I know my group and I  made that rule, but I like you. And i'm going to break ths rules." I said smirking.

"You rebel." he grinned.

"Hey! You're one too!" I yelled running after him with my wheelchair,Hey stop. You know we might not see each other for the rest of the summer. Here is my address, 1000 Sun street. You know. The big one." I said.

"I live two blocks away! On shine street." David said smiling.

"Well  I'll see you tomorrow then." I smiled, "ten o"clock." Then I turned around, went down the hill, and went off the sidewalk to the car. My mom helped me get in. What a wonderful night. What if we kiss tomorrow? "Mom  Rachel, Kayley,and Maiya are sleepingover tonight." I declared.

"Well I guess. But you have to sleep early. You need rest."My mom directed.

......

     I knew it was late but i didnt care. I took a short nap on my way home. Ding! Dong! When I opened the door, my friends' mouths dropped. "I know, I know. It happened after school." I said. My mom brought me cruches so i could go upstair to my room. All I could say was, "David." My heart started beating faster. "David?!" They all whisper-yelled.

"The dirty boy?" Maiya said in disgust.

"I know. I know he doesnt wear nice jeans and a tee but, he kissed me!" I squeled.

"But you made that rule." Kayley pointed out.

"He's not so bad." Rachel put in.

"I know. But there is just something about him that makes my heart melt." I said while i fell back onto my King size bed. Oww. I forgot about my hip.

"There is something im hiding." Rachel declared, "I'm dating one of the dirty boys."

Kayley confessed, "Me too. But i'm actually moving schools." Then she jumped on the bed. "Oh, no." We all said as we gathered on the bed.

"Im going to Colt Middle school."

"Where is that?" Maiya asked.

"It's in Arizona!!" She yelled as she started sobbing.

"You'll make plenty of friends there." I said trying to comfort her.
