A Summer To Remember

CHAPTER ONE

This is me, Zackary Martin. I'm just a simple dude who just finished high school and now I'm getting ready for college. I live in a small house with my mom and three sisters. My dad died a few years back so I help my mom with things in the house. My sisters are still young except Fatima, who is turning 16 this year. Summer just started so let's see what is in store for me.

"Zack can you please come help me with something?" My mom asked somewhere in the kitchen. I got up to go see what was up. Today some of my family members were coming for a visit so she must be preparing lunch.

"Yeah ma what is it?" I asked walking towards her.

"I need you to go to the store and get me some crates of drinks ok," she said handing me some money.

"Sure thing ma."

"Thanks," she says with a smile on her face.

Before I left the kitchen I tried to take some of the fries she just finished making but it was no use. She caught me red handed.

"Don't you dare touch them Zack," she said to me trying to put a serious face on but she failed. I just laughed at her and headed towards the leaving room to get my keys from the basket.

"Hey Zacky. Where are you going?" I turned around to see my sister starring at me and here face all covered with paint.

"I'm going out to get some drinks. Wanna come?" I asked her.

"Sure," she said with a grin on her face.

"But first you need to get cleaned up," I said to her. I picked her up and took her to the bathroom to wash her face then I had to change her clothes too because it was covered in paint also.

"Ok now you're clean and good to go," I said to her with a smile putting on her shoes.

We went back down stairs to leave when I met up with my other two sisters who just stood infront of me grinning like crazy. I knew they wanted to come as soon as they did that.

"Ok fine you two can come too," I said to them.

I put my shoes on and got my car keys. My sisters had already left the house. I could see them standing next to the car waiting for me. The way they get excited to go out scares me sometimes.

"Come on Zackaria open the door!" The eldest one, Fatima yelled as I got outside.

"Jeez calm down. We are just going to the store I don't get why you're so in a hurry," I said jogging towards the car. I opened the door and we all got in.

The two young ones Mariana and Layla sat at the back and Fatima sat with me in the front.

"You two put on your seat belts," I said turning to look at the two of them. When they finished I turned back and saw the other one sitting there playing with her phone.

"You want me to tell you to put yours on too," I said to her.

"I was gonna put it on anyways," she said quickly putting it on. Liar.

We arrived at a store that I normally go to. It's not that big but it has what I need. I parked the car at an empty space and we all got out.

"Ok listen up all of you," I said looking at Fatima so that she knows it includes her too, "I'm just going to buy some drinks so nobody should ask me to buy anything for them ok."

"Yeah yeah we heard you," Fatima said still on her phone.

"Ok let's go," I said to them and we all went in to get the things we need.

We went down the Isle and we finally found some crates of drinks. We stood they deciding which ones to take. After about 5 minutes, I decided to take the coke and sprite. I also went to the fridge to get some juice for the kids.

"Zacky can we get this?" Mariana said to me pointing at something I could not see. I walk towards her and I see she's pointing at the gummy bears.

" I told you I can't get anything for you," I said to her but clearly she did not really care because she asked me again.

"I'm sorry I can't. You understand right?" I said to her but she just started to cry and everytime I try to make her keep quiet she kept screaming louder.

"Ok fine you can get one."

Immediately she kept quiet and started to smile at me, holding the candy in her little hands. I swear she can be such a devil sometimes.

"Oh so you think you can just go behind our backs and get the little one a treat," I rubbed my hair which was already messed up. I knew this would happen. I turned around and saw my other sisters, arms crossed around their chests and glaring at me.

"She was screaming and attracting attention. I had no choice but to get it for her. You two are old enough to understand right?" Ok I knew that would not work but I had to try. I turned around and saw Mariana smiling at me.

We ended up at the cashier with more things than I had planned to buy. I spent almost all my money and the only thing they did was smile at me. Sometimes they just make me sick.

We got out of the store to go back home. I had the two crates of drinks because the others would not help. They just had their candy and other stuff in their little bags skipping towards the car.

They all got in and I went to the back to put the crates in the boot. I went round again to enter the car and just before I could do that I heard someone yelling my name.

"Hey Zackary Martin over here!" I turned around slowly. I thought I would never hear his voice again but there it is. This is not going to turn out well.

Hey everyone! So this is my first story ever. I hope you enjoy reading it and tell me what you think.
