AFTERWARD
I sat on my bed, thinking about what a boring summer I'd had so far. Nothing exciting ever happens to me! I climbed under my bed, and lay on my stomach, kicking the boards that held my mattress so firmly in place.
"This has been the most boring summer of my entire life! I swear it has!" I
grumbled, kicking the boards still. I found some paper and started writing a story about a girl who finds out she's a mermaid one day, and I thought of some mischief she could get into. I was interrupted when Jesse wandered in the room, and peered under the bed.
"Hey, you wanna go ride our bikes? I found a really cool cove I want to check out. Feel like coming along?"
"Sure. There's nothing else to do around here." I crawled out from under the bed, wondering when Daniel was getting back from summer camp.
