One Week After Graduation
The morning sun streamed through my bedroom window, and for the first time in weeks, I had absolutely nothing scheduled.
No finals. No graduation prep. No ceremonies or celebrations.
Just summer.
I stretched lazily, enjoying the feeling of freedom, when my phone buzzed.
The Chaos Crew
Sophie (9:47 AM): EMERGENCY MEETING. MY HOUSE. NOON. BRING KAI.
Me (9:48 AM): What's the emergency?
Sophie (9:49 AM): SUMMER PLANS. We have THREE MONTHS before college. We need to make them COUNT.
Riley (9:50 AM): This isn't an emergency.
Sophie (9:51 AM): SUMMER PLANNING IS ALWAYS AN EMERGENCY.
Kai (9:52 AM): I'll drive us.
Me (9:53 AM): You're already at my house?
Kai (9:54 AM): I'm making breakfast. Come downstairs.
I smiled and got out of bed, throwing on shorts and a tank top before heading downstairs.
