Julian's Glorious Summer (2011)
“I practically almost always tell the truth. I really don’t like making up stories. I only do it when absolutely necessary. That’s the way it was at the beginning of the summer.
It was the first morning after school got out. I was sitting in our swing, making circles in the sand with my tennis shoe and watching some ants go by. Every last one was in a hurry.
“Take your time!” I said to them. “This is vacation!”
But they went on running as fast as they could. They acted like they were all late.
“...Where are you going so fast?” I asked.
I wasn’t in a hurry. I was happy. My little brother, Huey, was with my dad at his car repair shop. My mother was at her job. I was waiting for my best friend, Gloria. I was thinking how much fun Gloria and I (and Huey, when I let him play with us) would have all summer.
I was thinking so much, I hardly looked at the street. I almost didn’t see a girl on a blue bicycle going by fast—and when I did, I thought, “That can’t be Gloria!”MoreLess
