Summer

If there’s anything I truly hate, it’s drama. I hate the drama that girls cause, I hate the drama boys cause, and I especially hate the drama grown ups cause. The summer usually is a time that I can get away from most of that drama. I think almost everyone loves summer.

I FINALLY get to leave St. Louis. I’m staying with my cousins during summer, like I always do. This year though, I don’t think it’ll be the same. I usually would bike to my friends house and we’d go to the pool, or get ice cream, or go to the rec. center. But this summer he’s not here, so summer will be empty. Don’t get me wrong, summer will be better than school, but it won’t be as fun.

I think that once your best friend dies, a lot of things aren’t fun anymore. They don’t bring me joy anymore. They just remind me of my best friend. We’re going to Table Rock Lake instead of the Lake of the Ozarks. My parents said that it will be healthy for me to go somewhere that Andrew and I didn’t hang out together. They think that if I’m distracted than I’ll forget all my problems.

I’ll forget my problems for a day or two, but they come back. They always do.
