I opened my bedroom window to let in an evening brezee. All of the trees have been bare for a while, exposing the cloudless sky. Letting out a sight i rested my head on my hand and leaned out letting the wind whip across my face. Today is the very last araw of winter break,then its back to school till spring. May as well enjoy it. "ARTIE JONES, GET DOWN HERE RIGHT THIS segundo I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU!" My mom yelled vioentley from down stairs. Sluggishly I stood up and walked out of my room. "Mom my name is amy." I sinabi walking down the steps. She just glared at me. " You can change your name when your 18, but thats not the problem we need to disscus." she sinabi holding up a thin piece of folded white paper. I could feel every ounce of color drain from my face as we stood in silence.
"An F In Math? Artie How Could You Do This To Me!?" she snapped
"Why were you going through my stuff anyway!" i snapped back moving passed her.
"Because im your mother and im allowed to do that!" she sinabi following me
"Whatever!" i sinabi storming off toward the garage.
"We are not done disscussing this missy, you better bring that grade up or-" i slamed the door not wanting to hear anymore.
Quickly I laced my converse on and walked to the end of me drive way.
I stared at my back yard. My paborito view. The creek sparkling from the lingering sunlight, The big willow puno swaying its branches in the harsh wind, the overgrown damo my mom never wants to cut. Simply beautifull. I skipped down the burol and stoped in front of my willow tree, I layed down in a patch of clovers. I stared at the radient pinks and purples overflowing the sky, i watched the tints of kahel and yellow fade out.
"Happy Birthday Amy." A vocie sinabi behinde me.
"huh?" I blurted out as a small box dropped on my chest. Dumbfounded i turned around and stood up.
A tall dark haired boy stood there grinning..well i just call him leslie.
"Leslie!!" I almost yelled as i scrambled quickly to my feet.
"Happy Birthday" He sinabi repeated
"You Too!" I sinabi cheerfully.
Leslie and i have known each other for about 6 years now. We met sa pamamagitan ng our parents work and ever since we have been pretty good friends,well i think so atleast.
I reached into my pocket and prayed his present was still in there."A-Ha" I sinabi and pulled out a camera with a bright red bow on it.
"Here, ya go" I sinabi handing him the camera.
"No way! Thanks so much!" He exclaimed
"Im just glad you like it" I sinabi relevied
"Now your gift" He sinabi taking the bow off the camera.
I looked at the tiny velvet box in my hand.
"Go on open it .... its not gonna explode" He sinabi encouragingly.
I opened it to find a small crystal heart.
"Wow... Its beautifull" I sinabi holding it up to the remaning sunlight. It Reflected the light in a way so that inside the puso was a plethora of colors.
"Do you like it?" He asked unsure
"Yes, of course, i pag-ibig it!" I sinabi hugging him
"Its another charm for your braclet" He sinabi as i let him go.
"Leslie!! Amy!! Its dinner!" My mom yelled out the window.
I let out a sigh and looked from the window to leslie.
"I'll race ya." He sinabi playfully
"Go!" I shouted clutching the crystal puso in my hand as i ran.
Leslie caught up pretty fast and passes me with ease.
I started picking up speed as we raced to the tuktok of the hill.
The wind blew my hair around my face annoyingly.
I finaly reached the drive way and leslie was waiting there.
"what took you so long?" he asked not even out of breath.
