'Zaf!' a voice so familiar yelled, I turned my head to see my best friend, Gabriella walking with a box of Krispy Kreme in her hand.

'No. You cannot bribe me with a box full of glazed doughnuts. So unfair!.' I told her, whining. Trying to hold myself from snatching the box.

'Oh, come on. Please. Do you have any idea how early I got up this morning to just get this for you?' she half-yelled.

'Nope,' emphasizing the 'p'. 'I don't care if those are my favorites. I am not going with you to The Lake.'

Every semester break, for thelast ten years my whole group of friends have been going to The Lake. It's a place where all of us could just hang out without parents and have fun. Every year I've been going. It allchanged two years ago. Ever since then, I decided on skipping.

'You missed two years! You have to go this year.' Gabby complained. I rarely hear her complain. I could hear a hint of annoyance in her voice.

She opened the box with a 'tada'and mustered a puppy dog eye. No. I was not caving in. No way...but those...doughnuts. ..oh damn.

'No.' I barely managed to say.

Gabby almost screamed at me, 'Zafrina, its been two years. Dont you think its time?'

No definitely not. I was not ready for all that. No.

I couldn't bring myself to go the Lake anymore, it just brings back so much memories. Memories I do not want to remember.

"But, just think about it? Everyones waiting for you. Even James misses you." I scoffed on that, James was the type of person who wouldn't care. He hates me. Since we were kids. We just never got along.

I looked at Gabby and I could see she was desperate.  "Okay, fine. I'll think about it."

'Yey!' she screamed and hugged me.

'You are stressing me out. Give me those.' gesturing to the box of doughnuts. She gladly handed them to me.

'C'mon, muppet. We're going to be late for class. '
