Summer bucket list
C h a p t e r o n e
It was a sunday. It was already halfway through summer and I was spending mine at softball. My one best friend, Mara, had come with me to watch our games. I've secretly always been jelous of her.. she was pretty, and her personality could win over anyone. It was as if everyone who met her immediatly fell in love with her. Both her and I would be going into our junior year in highschool, and i felt as if she has accomplished so much more than me. By that, I mean she had so many more friends than me, and her and a guy going into senior year had a thing. He was so sweet to her and he was very attractive. I had talked to him just a few times. After my games, Mara had told me that we were invited to go a lake nearby with some friends. I knew that if i didn't go..she still would. I constantly complained about spending time with the same people, and not hanging out with guys. I decided I would join, although being somewhat nervous hanging out with people older than me. Mara's crush, Jared, picked me up that evening. In the car was Mara, and another friend of mine. They told me that there was a switch in plans and we we going to another guy's house, Brandon, to swim. I knew of Brandon. He had just graduated and dated another girl in my grade. He knew me, but not very well. We had hung out before in the same group, but not really interacted with eachother. I felt cool hanging out with guys, but no one really knew who I was. My stomach hurt and i just wanted to leave. Mara made sure she included me, however, and before i knew it, I felt like I was part of the group. I still believe that the decison I made to stay, changed both my summer and me as a person.
