do you remember the details of your life 20 years ago? kennedy does, she remembers every second of that summer like it was yesterday. kennedy remembers the days leading up to summer when every day felt the same. when summer began she assumed it woul...
[vote if I should upload more...] Kennedy I wake up to the sunlight shining through my window. It takes me a moment to remember that it's my first day of summer. Yesterday we made the trip down to our Nisswa cabin from ou home in Minneapolis. In Minneapolis we live in a huge house in a nice neighborhood by the lake. But when we get to Nisswa we live in a nice rustic but modern cabin with the lake in our backyard.
I am still rubbing my eyes when I hear a knock on the door. When I don't answer, my mother, Jen walks in and immediately winces at the mess I call my room. My clothes are everywhere, I was so tired last night I didn't unpack I just dug out my pajamas and went to bed.
My mother is a perfectionist. She is especially nit-picky when the summer guest is coming. I groan when I remember that our new guest is coming today.
My mother and I moved to Minnesota six years ago. my mother and stepfather met in college in their home-state, Maryland, and instantly knew they had a connection. My stepfather, Court, moved to Minnesota his second year and they slowly lost touch. My mother had me with a man who died when I was 10. We don't talk about him a lot, sometimes i can still remember his laugh or the time we all spent together.
I roll my eyes at my mother. "I'll clean it up later." I say. Surprisingly she accepts that with a nod and leaves my room. I groan again and slump back down onto the bed.
My room really is a mess. I get up and make an attempt to clean it. I start to make my bed, the sheets on my bed still smell like mint because loraine just washed them yesterday.
I hear my phone buzzing I guess I've chosen to ignore it until now. I pick it up from my nightstand and see his name flash across the screen. Xander has been my best friend since I came to Minnesota. His family lives in Minneapolis and comes to Nisswa during the summer as well. We hang out every day and I can't imagine not having him around, he's my best friend. People just assume we are together since we are so close, we've given up on telling them anything different. ❁ ❁ ❁ remember to vote 💕 hey thanks for reading, it's my first time writing a book. ~ 𝐚𝐯𝐚
