thank youuuu mwah!

It was a quiet summer afternoon. Well, summer started a few weeks ago and i couldn't be happier. I would finally be in 9th grade next school year, and to my surprise 8th grade wasnt that bad. Well, there were a few things that i wish i could take back but its all in the past now.

I rested my head against the soft pillow on my bed, watching the two birds interact outside the window. They were so cute, like good friends hanging out. I felt peaceful, calm and happy.

Then my phone vibrates beside me, indicating that i got a message. I wonder if it's Krihs, maybe she has news about the new summer magazine. Ive been dying to check it out and the new looks and clothes. Twisting my head, I grabbed my phone and turned it on. It's Avan, so i open it to check what he has to say.

sent 3:17 pm

I didn't bother waiting for him to reply, I lazily got up from my comfy bed and started tying my hair and putting on lip balm. I never wear makeup because my mom doesnt allow it and even if she did, its a waste of time and money. But i understood why other people wear it.

I grab my phone and text my mom to inform her i'll be back in an hour. Her and dad are out getting things for the garden. After i send the message, I grab my bag and walk out of my room making sure to close the door. I stopped by my little sister's room to tell her to stay inside and to not bother our brother.

"Buy me chocolate ice cream please!" she shouts while i leave her room. I mentally take note of that in my head. I just hope i don't forget so i don't get scolded again. I make my way downstairs, making sure i was quiet so I dont disturb the ogre in his bedroom.

I grab my shoes and keys for the front door then head out to the porch. As I was putting on my sneakers, i could hear a skateboard coming. I look up and see Avan coming up the driveway. He gives me a wave and i continue tying my shoelaces.

"Yo! my little cousin can tie his laces faster than you, and he's 6." he annoyingly tells me as he walks towards the porch, his skateboard in his hand. I roll my eyes and get up from the bench.

"And you're the one who taught him so of course he's faster, i had to search youtube and practice for a week." I inform him with a little bit of sass just because.

"Yeah well let's go, Jhuli is already at the ice cream shop." He tells me as he walks away and to the garage. I could hear him laugh a little as he was walking away. I catch up to him and open the garage to grab my skateboard and we're off.

The town we live isn't that big but we have everything one could ever need. A school, a park, a mall, little shops and more. Ive lived here since i was only 4. We moved houses because the old one was too small.

The ice cream shop was just a few miles away and all five of us used to go there when our parents would allow it. It was always such a fun time but it would usually take an hour just to gather everyone up, which was Krihs' job.
