It was the summer going into 9th grade and my little cousin Gianna had just turned one. The birthday party was Elmo themed and the big red monster was everywhere. It was a beautiful summer day for a back yard party. The tables were set up with red tablecloths and bright colored confetti. Each table also had a blow with a real gold fish it. But the best part about the party was the bounce house set way back in the yard, because no matter how old you are your never to old for a bounce house. But unfortunately I couldn’t go on it with all the little kids, so other then the bounce house it was a pretty boring party. There were tons of screaming kids, half of which I didn’t no. A bunch of old aunts and uncles that sat in their chairs, and the other half of the people I didn’t even know who they where. Therefore I wasn’t having the best time. To make things worse, on the same day my friend Shay was having a block party, I was supposed to be meeting my two friends their Gabby and Mandy. Personally, going to a block party with all my friends sounded way more fun then sitting at a one year olds birthday party doing nothing. So my mother said that after cake she would drive me over to the party. Later on in the afternoon I was dropped off at Shays. As I walked down the block I saw tons of people having fun and dancing to the D.J. that was set slightly to the left of her house. I saw my friends standing in the front having a good time; I ran up to them and hugged them when I noticed shay was missing. I asked them where she was and they said she ran off with Chelsea and Meave. I rolled my eyes. Now, my friends and I aren’t big fans of Chelsea and Meave, they always seem too preppy and catty compared to my friends. Chelsea was tall with curly... ... middle of paper ... ...tting all about what had happened earlier that day. Suddenly we were attract by water spraying at us from a tree, scared we ran screaming for the bounce house. Johnny and Connor, my two younger brothers, came running out of the bushes running for us. Laughing as they got us drenched with water we too laughing as we ducked for cover. Somehow gabby go hold of the hoes and attacked them back until they were just as soaked as much as we were. By now we were slipping and sliding all over the place giggling and joking. That night we lit a fire and roasted marshmallows made jokes and had a good time with the people who really mattered. I was with friends who were real and did pretend to someone who they weren’t, or tried to fit in with someone and try to act “cool.” That night was one of the best nights that summer and I learned a lot about what kind of person shay was.
