The Summer of Love ♡ Benny Rodriguez

1. Last Day of School

"I know you guys are as excited as I am because today marks the day! Yes, finally, it's the last day of school and the last class of today!!!" My science teacher, Mr. Baker, announced to the class. Everyone started cheering and screaming their lungs out. I look next to me to see a very excited Camila.

"Okay, so since its the last day, I want you guys to give me a summary of what you guys have learned this year in my advanced science class." He says, with a big smile on his face. Everyone, including me, groaned at his response. I then took a stand.

"Oh come on Mr. Beaker! It's the last day of school, do we really have to write a summary?!" I say with a funny smirk painted on my face, that even my dimples were showing.

"Natalie-" He starts but I cut him off.

"Really... I have been coming here almost every single day and you still can't remember my name? It's Natalia by the way." I say, sarcastically. The whole class laughs. He then got up and starts walking around the class.

"Well, you called me 'Mr. Beaker' so I guess you also forgot my name." He starts talking.

"Fine. Just don't give us damn work!" I say. Camila nods and the whole class agreed. Mr. Baker then started laughing and sat back down at his desk.

"Alright. Do whatever you guys want. Talk to y'alls boyfriends or girlfriends, play games, read, do whatever! Just don't get too loud." He said. Everyone bursts out laughing. He always tries his harder to be funny but I guess he finally succeeded this year. I sure am going to miss Mr. Baker when I become a sophomore next year.

I then turn to Camila and we start talking about what we are going to do for summer vacation this year. We always spend summer together. Camila has been my best friend since kindergarten, She's my childhood best friend along with two other people, Jacob and Joey. Camila has skin so pale that if you compare it to a piece of paper, she would be paler. She has freckles all over her pretty clear face and she's a blonde, well dirty blonde. She's the same height as me, and she is very thin unlike me.

"Okay so I was thinking, we throw a party at my house and get high and drunk as fuck!" She says clapping her hands together. I give her a glare and start talking disagreeing with her idea.

"Cami, you know we are too young for that shit. Anyway where would we get the beverages, we are 15?" I exclaim to Camila. She gives me a frown and then she sighs and agreed with me.

"I know a guy but you're right. We can always throw parties tho right? Pool parties! Ooh and don't forget 4th of July." She says, her voice rising. A smile crossed on my face and I laugh at her excitement.

"Yeah, it does get pretty hot here in Florida. Just please tell your brother to stop flirting with me... It still hurts me to see that Jacob still has something for me. After all, I just see him as a friend now, nothing more." Jacob and I were together for 2 years. Jacob is Camila's twin brother, yeah they share similarities but they also have their differences. Jacob was born blonde but then later he dyed his hair brown. Also, instead of freckles on his face, his cheeks are pink. They say he was born like that and I always found it cute. When we were going out that's when I found out the he was a jealous type. Every time I invited Joey Carter, my boy best friend since childhood, he would always do gestures like kissing my neck or pulling me closer to him and even buying me things like stuffed animals or clothes, which I still own till this day but keep them in a box and hid them in my closet. We broke up a month ago, actually I broke up with him. It didn't feel right to be with him because he had changed ever since we dated, he became more distant with me and he'd rather hang out with his friends than with me. He always tries to win me back but I keep rejecting him, even if he does the cutest things, I told him the best thing we can be is just friends. I just want to be loved by someone that will actually love me back. But love is just a silly thing people take as a game.
