“We’ll be back later mom!” my best friend Jasmine called over her shoulder, heading toward the front door. “Where are you going?” Her mom asked. “Park!” Jasmine called, racing out the front door. “Bye Mrs. Smith!” I called, racing to catch up with Jasmine.
My other best friend Kristen met us halfway down the street. It was a hot and muggy day in late July. I glanced longily at the setting sun, waiting for it to sink down into the horizon so that the temperature would start to cool down. I shook my head, snapping myself out of my daze only to realize that Kristen and Jasmine were already 10 or 20 feet ahead of me. “Wait up you guys!” I called. “Sorry” I say as I finally catch up to them. “Its okay” they say in unison. “Jinx” Kristen yelled, and we all broke out laughing. It was probablly a five or ten mintue walk to get to the park, and I could tell that they were a little annoyed since without me and my laziness, they could make it there in two or three minutes.
