  I woke up to a phone ringing in my house.
 
  "Don't worry mom I'll get it" I yelled hopping out of bed.

   Sweetie breakfast is on the table when you're done. I smiled to my dad who made breakfast this morning and went to answer the phone.

"Hey E-Emma, we are going down to the Quarry want to c-c-come" Bill talked on the other line.

"Of course give me 10 minutes, and I'll be there"

I mentioned to my parents that I was gonna hangout with the boys and they both wishes me fun, and I changed into this reddish bathing suit I just got.

Time Skip

  "Hey guys, I'm here now" I yelled excitedly.

  "Hello gorgeous" Richie said walking up to me while the gang followed

"Richie you smell weird"

"Oh Em, you like my new scent" Richie smirked

"You smell like an old man"

"Damnit Stan you said this attracts the ladies"

  "Yeah old ladies" I laughed and so did the rest of the gang.

  We spent the rest of the day like we always did swimming having the best time of our lives. When we walked home I walked beside Richie and Stan while the others took off in different directions.

  "Crazy that school is gonna end soon" I smiled thinking.

"I know Peach, we will be 8th graders next year" Richie said making me laugh because of the nickname he called me.

    Richie's been calling me Peach since 3rd grade, because when we had to do show and tell I had nothing to show and Richie gave me his Peach from lunch and told me to tell everyone that the Peach could grant wishes, and being 3rd graders they all believed it, he stopped me being embarrassed that day and hearing the name made me smile ever since

  One the street across from mine there was dipped that I didn't know what approaching and while we rode our bikes up the hill, my tire got caught in the hole and sent me flying, I hit my head so hard that when I went to the doctors later that day he said I wouldn't be able the remember certain things anymore. It sucked but I never forgot the important things, or atleast I don't think I did. I wish I would have known that I would have taken the other street because now I have a little scare on my head that's so ugly.

[Back to real time]

    I woke up from a dream, it felt so real like that I had already lived that day but I wasn't sure because I couldn't remember what happened in the dream.

    It was already 7:00 in the morning so I decided to stay up and get ready for the day. The gang and I needed to figure out what we were gonna do about the freaking clown.




author note: so the italics was a memory of Emma's from a year ago. the memory was supposed to show that Em didn't really know why she felt so fuzzy about Stan calling her Peach when he did, but now you know why that nickname is so important

and just in case you're confused Emma can't remember Richie calling her Peach or any memory of that show and tell :)
