First day of summer

The first day of summer. I’m wearing my summer school uniform. Eat my toast bread and milk made by my grandmother. I’m Alice, Alice Holmes. I lived with my grandparent.

“Alice finish your breakfast quickly. Don’t be late in your first day of senior high school.” My grandmother remind me.

“Yes Ma, I’m finish my breakfast. Thankyou.” I call her Ma.

I take my school bag and ready to go. Cielo already waiting me in front of my house. He is my next-door neighbor, my childhood friend since our day one. He is really cold outside but he is so warm and kind. He is annoying and always tease me everytime he can. Our heights weren’t that much different, but he is taller than me. He has dark brown hair and his colour eyes was my favorite, hazel eyes. Everyone can love him from the first sight.

“Hey Cielo! Do you wait for me?”

Cielo shooks his head. He never admit it.

We walk to school together. It’s not so far from our house. We lived in the small town. The summer sunshine looks good on him. Everything around him is perfect.

“Why I have to be in the same class with you?” Cielo ruffles my hair with his flat expression, as usual.

“I’m the person who should say that Cielo. I’m bored seeing you everytime.” I laugh at him.

“Hey, are you in the same class?” Fiona interupts us. She is also my childhood friend. She is beautiful and warm. Her blonde hair looks perfect with her white skin. She is straighforward and charming person.

“Yes as always.” I nod.

“Your fate is suck.” She laughs at us and the bell rang.

I sit with Fiona in the class and Cielo sit next to me. There are new people and same old people I know in the class. I’m excited with my senior high school life.

Cielo, he just looking at the window and waiting the class over. Summer. Cielo hates summer, hate the heat. He never excited at this weather except for the summer sky. He was very fond of stars, astronomy, and space. He was influenced by his father. His name Cielo means sky.

The class over. I become a class president. After class, I have to prepare class introduction meeting with other class president, our senior, and our homeroom teacher.

“Cielo, I will not come home with you.”

“I also don’t want to go home with you. You’re too confident”. He reply me sarcastically, as usual.

“Go home then!”

The meeting finish at 06.00 PM. I’m so tired yet excited. I go home alone. But what? Cielo at the school gate. Am I wrong?

“Cielo, are you still there? Do you wait for me again? Hahaha.”

“You are totally wrong Alice. I read a book at library after class over. Stop being so confident.”

“Let’s go home together then.” I smile at him.

“Stop smiling at me. You are ugly Alice.” He walks fast and I run after him.

“Cielo, do you like the first day at school?.”

He is not answer and remain silent. The wind blows gently in the middle of summer. He’s too cool.

Will this summer bring something good to me? I’m waiting.
