SUMMER CAN LAST FOREVER

LAST ADVENTURES

BELLY
Its been 4 days since the volleyball game, theres only 9 days til the deb ball. Theres only 10 days til we go back. Conrads stuff is here in cousins, so hell be staying here to pack. Since most of mine is in boston, ill head back there with jeremiah and taylor. Theyll also be packing too since finchs orientation and welcome week are at the end of august. The movers will show up for me 3 days after we get back. The next day conrad and i fly over, while adam will drive the rover over.

Conrad said well get me a car the day after and both just use that til the rover gets here. Im glad hes keeping the rover, its way too sentimental for us and him he loves that car. The last 9 days will be spent with our last adventures for now. Its midnight and i cant sleep, i need something sweet. I venture into the kitchen and find some cookies. I look at the volleyball trophy on the counter and smile.

I remember 2 years ago when taylor faked being injured so jeremiah could sub in. I got so mad at jere, cause he wouldnt focus on the goal only me. Thats why jere and i never wouldve worked as a couple, in the moments when i really needed him to be serious he just couldnt. Thats why i subbed conrad in, and why i chose conrad again this year. Conrad helps me achieve my goals. i decide to go for a midnight swim. I put my suit on and jump in the pool.

I stay under the water swimming for a while. Til im nearly out of air, i come back up and swim some laps. i hear the back door open. I turn around expecting to find conrad, but its not i can tell its jeremiah. Hes trying to be discreet.

"hey ninja!" i call out and he jumps and screams.

"Fuck belly!! i didnt see you, you scared the shit out of me" i say and we laugh.

"Sorry, now where are you going?" i ask.

"For a drive i cant sleep, im worried about well everything" he sighs.

"Lets walk to the gas station like old times" i suggest.

"sure that actually sounds fun" jeremiah replies excited. I dont even change i just jump out of the pool, put my flip flops on and meet up with him. I use my towel as a blanket, not that its cold out. Even this late its about 80 degrees outside.

"Tell me your worries" i ask linking our pinkies together as we walk.

"I dont know why it all of a sudden hit me now. Im not gonna be living at home, im gonna have a roommate, and i dont know how to cook belly. i barely clean, and im gonna have to clean probably" he lets out.

"In terms of cooking start simple, then work your way up. Look it up on wikihow. As for the cleaning i got nothing. i imagine when conrad and i live together, the first few months are going to be him yelling at me for leaving my shit everywhere" i tell him and we laugh.

"Yeah, maybe i outta take a page from his book" he replies.

"Youll be great jere, theres no doubt in my mind. Hopefully youll get a good roommate" i sigh

"they wont be better than you" he smiles.

"They better not be" i joke and he chuckles.

"aw bells, im gonna miss you so much" jeremiah states sadly.

"I know, but ive got it figured out. your classes are done at 3 pm. Mine will be done at noon my time, which is 3 your time. At 4pm your time 1pm for me ill face time you. Well study together still, i imagine connie will spend every afternoon at the library studying like a nerd" i chuckle.

"I like that plan, ill have to put it in my phone as a reminder every day" he smiles.

We walk inside and start looking around, theres nobody here. I grab chocolate milk. i feel like chocolate bars today, so i grab a twix and some rolos. Jeremiahs looking at drinks when we hear the door jingle. A guy in a hoodie walks inside. i already dont like this. Im sure its nothing though.
