A Simple Life of a Teenage Boy - Page 23/97

The month of September has begun. The foliage lost its freshness from the month of August and has turned yellow. The trees are full of scarlet leafs. Finally, the summer has come to an end.

Summer was very big and lots of things happened. My father came yesterday and he will stay with us for two weeks. My family vacation will start tomorrow and I'll be out of school for about a week. He will take us to visit Switzerland for about 4 days. My father has a friend in Geneva so we don't need to pay for lodges during our stay. My sister Gracy's birthday was coming soon so this visit will be her present. I bought a crayon color box as my personal gift to my sister. She loves to paint so she'll obviously like it.

But during this summer I never got chance to speak with Jenny. Each day, I worked hard in order to become VC and her only existence changed me a lot from the time I was back then. I became a player of the team and we won Preliminaries Cup. Regarding my academics, I ranked 5th in the class. My rank slipped due to my hard focus on basketball. But still placing top five was good. I made some new friends but we're not close like Eric or James. And, today an event was held in our school to appoint the Captain and Vice-Captain. Luckily, I became a Vice-Captain and she was appointed as a Captain. It was a good thing but that was not my main target. I had a long way to go and this was just the first step. Now my aim was not to talk but to get her. I wanted her to be beside me for most of the time. After returning from the short visit I'll have my chance as a VC to spend time with her.
