=SUMMER 06'= It was the summer 2006, and this would be the summer I ever would forget and all for the wrong reasons. I was going to be a sophomore and it felt like I had to really grow up now. However, no one wants to grow up too fast. I had been through the worst this summer. I’ve went through Six Flags with ripped jeans and rainy weather, all the way to getting a flat tire and standing on the side of the road and, situations just kept getting worst. I thought god would give be a break since he and I know how much I have encountered in this summer. Nevertheless, people say things have to get worst before they get ay better. So it was another summer day and things were actually going well. I was at my aunt’s house for my cousin’s graduation BBQ. People were so excited to be together but, I think they were more excited they he was actually going to graduate. So my aunt’s house was full of family, friends, and those people who pretend to be your family to get something to eat. But it was okay everyone was just glad to be together for the summer time. As usually at family gathers the all the kids stray off from the parents. All the parents were on the back porch under he influence, while all the kids sat on the front porch. We played every game we could think of to past the time. Water tag; hop scotch, manhunt, tag, and ring on Ms. Betty’s door. We liked to ring on Ms. Betty’s door then run because she would get so mad even one time she even threaten to call the cops, but she never did. Sooner or later we grew bored and just sat down to talk and laugh. That grew old when we all had nothing to say and starting playing the staring game. It was night tine now and everything became still. My cousin Chanel decided to make the decision to take a walk to get a change of scenery. So as kids we were down for anything at this point and began to walk down the block. It was Chanel, me, my three cousins Tray, Nicole and, Barbra, and that little bad boy Larry from around the corner. All of us then planned to walk to the main street just to see if we could get a little action. A lot happens on the main street and we were sure to find something to do. Finally, we made it to the main road to find that there was nothing to do. This had to be the driest summer night ever. So we kind of broke off from each other, into two groups. Therefore I began to talk to Chanel and Tray. All of a sudden I saw that Bad Boy Larry, and my cousin Nicole were pretending to beat up Barbra. And she was playing along. I yelled for them to top it because Barbra’s mom was going to be so up set that she messed up her outfit, but it was too late. The next thing I heard was sirens and the screech of police cars stopping abruptly by us. We all took off running, including me even though I didn’t do anything. So I ran as fast as I could, leaving one of my favorite polka dot vans behind. I ran and jumped head first into Ms. Betty’s bushes, while the others ran down the lit street. I hid out in the bushes letting all the bugs bite me, until I saw the cops past. All I felt was fear not fear that the cops were chasing us but knowing that my mom would find out and be furious. Eventually I left the bush and made my way back down the street before my mom had to come and get me. And lord knows if she had to come find me and see that I was hiding in a bush she would decapitate me. Soon I met up with my parents slowly but surely, seeing that the cops were already talking to the parents and my mom had already gathered that look. The look where you know you’re already in trouble and it’s better off that you don’t make eye contact. So I went to go stand by them when my mom handed me my polka dot van. I looked at the shoe like how did she get when I realized the cops most of gave it to her. My stomach felt like it could fall right out of my body if I didn’t hold it in with my hand. So after this incident, I was allowed to go anywhere else for the rest of the summer. And if I decided to go somewhere, my parents were always two steps behind. So much for growing up, it wasn’t so bad though. At least I wasn’t getting chased by the cops and dealing with adult consequences. Summer 2006 will be the summer no summer could ever top
