I Just Had To Man - Tumblr Posts
Abigail doesn’t hate summer. Summer means no classes, which means more time to spend on video games and band practice. No, she doesn’t hate summer at all.
What she hates, however, is the things that seem to come with summer: the bugs, the sweating, the insistent pounding of the sun that threatens to burn her the moment she steps out of the house. “Summer sucks,” she finds herself muttering as she makes her way towards Sam’s house.
“Really? What makes you think so?” a familiar voice says, startling Abigail. She turns her head and sees Haley, leaning on her house’s door frame, curious smile on her lips. She’s holding a sunflower in her hands, the golden petals matching her hair perfectly. Probably a gift from the farmer. “I love summer,” Haley continues. “Lots of great opportunities to go for a swim at the beach.”
Abigail tilts her head. “I don’t know. Doesn’t that get old pretty quick? I mean, we’ve lived near the sea our whole lives and all.”
Haley laughs in response. “I guess that’s fair. Still, don’t you wanna use the summer to get a nice tan or whatever?”
“Oh, Yoba, no,” it was Abigail’s turn to laugh. “I don’t think I’d look good with a tan. At all.”
Haley doesn’t answer right away, letting her eyes wander down the other girl. She’s studying her, and Abigail’s face heats up at the realization. Her hair’s probably all frazzled from the heat and, oh no, what if she somehow magically got a zit somewhere embarrassing in the middle of their conversation? Abigail is almost close to trying to find a way to check discreetly when Haley finally answers. “Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! Besides, I think you’d look good either way,”
“You do?” Abigail splutters.
“I do.” Haley says, firmly. “Well, I’ve kept you here long enough. I’ll see you around,” she turns to go back inside her house, but not before raising the sunflower in her hand and shooting Abigail a dazzling smile. “Abigail.”
Abigail doesn’t hate summer. Summer means no classes, which means more time to spend on video games and band practice. No, she doesn’t hate summer at all.
In fact, she might have found herself a reason to look forward to summer.
