June
Chapter 1
As I was looking up through the trees, the sunlight hit my face, and warmed up my cheeks. This was my favorite place, a little creek right behind my elementary school that was magical to me. It made me feel like a little kid, it made me feel that I could explore anything and everything. I looked to my side, and saw him. I was at my favorite place with my favorite person, but he didn’t know that just yet. I met Greg in the winter of my 6th grade year. He was only in 5th grade, and things seemed so simple back then. Greg & I would hang out with other friends and always have a good time together. It’s been a year now, and it seems like we’re inseparable, which I didn’t mind. “Do you want to go get some pizza? I’m starting to get pretty sweaty.” he laughed. “Yeah sounds good.” I responded. We walked up to Frank’s Pizza and sat down. I only had a couple of dollars shoved into my shorts, so I decided to order a slice. Greg got pizza & fries, and we didn’t mind sharing a root beer. “Can you believe summer is almost over?”
“Haha, I’m upset about it too. But you’re going to be in school with me this year.” I said a little bit too excitedly.
“You bet, I’m gonna’ shove you into lockers all the time now” he teased with a smile. I smiled back. Just then, Greg’s face got serious, and he looked nervous. “Greg, what’s wrong?” I said.
“June, you worry too much. It’s just that since summer is almost over, I want to buckle down and have a really good year, starting with an amazing girlfriend by my side.”
For some stupid reason, I had the idea in my head that Greg was talking about me, so I started to smile and say something but he cut me off. “June, I think I’m falling for Megan Petersen.” My smile faded in a matter of seconds. “Megan Petersen?” I swallowed the lump that was starting to form in my throat.
“Yeah, isn’t she pretty? I know you don’t really know her that well but I’m sure you’ll get to know her and like her. I really want you to meet her.”
Just then, a bubbly blonde walked through the shop’s doors. I felt the stinging in the back of my eyes, and wanted to bolt out, but I couldn’t get out of it now. I forced a smile and turned to Megan. “Hi, I’m June, nice to meet you.”
