Summer

"C'mon Lucy," my friend Anna said.

"Yeah c'mon," Leah said.

"Let's go."

They ran down the hill at an increasingly fast rate. I followed them. We fell down onto the grass at the bottom of the hill, our heads next to each other's.

"Because the wind is high," I said, laughing.

"It blows my mind," Anna said.

"And so are we," Jason said.

"What?" Evan asked.

"High," Jason replied.

"Oh."

"God what a gorgeous day," I said.

"I know you could breathe everything in," Kevin replied.

It was a beautiful summer day and the clouds were turning colors and tumbling around us.

"Omygod we're in cloud world," Anna said.

Leah started randomly giggling. I soon followed.

But that was before. That was all before. That wonderful world of summer, heat, wind and freedom. That world of friends and days lasting forever. I so long for those days now. But I can't ever have them back. That was my last summer before it happened.
