Download “Last Days of Summer” by Melissa Reddish.
In the beginning of August, the last month of those long, hot summer days before the inevitable trudge back to high school, before I started the tenth grade and no longer had homeroom with Tina and Aimee, who had given me the brush-off for no good reason after seven years of friendship, in this month I got a call from Stacy Lynn telling me that we needed to hit the beach.
