Chapter 1

It is a bright morning, the sun's up before summer and everything's coming to life. And just like that, it was already the 1st of July, when summer is at the door. "Iris", the woman knocked at the door. "I'm up", iris opened the door to her mother holding a tray with toasted bread and peanut butter spread upon, the orange juice which was a bit too sweet, and an unwavering smile on her face. "I made tarts this morning, you should bring some to your friends", she said.

"So much work in the morning, it's still so early, and you're full of energy; I can see", iris took the tray from her mother, a sign of telling her to go easy on herself. "Want some?", she tilted her head towards her. "I've already had my 2nd breakfast you tiny thing", her mom flicked her forehead and proceeded to return to her house chores. "Wake your brother up, your dad should be up soon. It's summer vacation already, but hey're sleeping too much", she heads downstairs.

"Yup, thank you for the breakfast, I could've headed downstairs anyway ", she said, as she ate the last toast and gulped down the juice. *Clack* she opened the window, "It's summer finally"she smiled at the sun in the sky, and everything that greeted her with the arrival of summer.

"We can finally go shopping together" she giggled at the thought of shopping with her friends. The odd group of friends they were, they were busy with their exams and their most awaited vacation was finally here. "Wake up cookie monster" she shrugged at her brother, who; was still in his dreams, riding narwhals and fighting jelly fish.

Everyone finally woke up, and the day went on with each one savouring the sweet taste of summer.

"Hey old lady" iris called her friend, Amelia, "What's up with you sir guttermouth?" she replied. "I'm coming to your house" she declared. "Not welcoming any guest at the moment, Sire Amelia is busy doing laundry" Amelia replied. "So that was what the roaring sound in the background was, i thought you annoyed your sister again" iris rests her legs on the wall lying flat on her bed, staring at the ceiling. "That too but yeah this one's louder, so? What're you up to? "" she snickers. "Staring at the ceiling and devising a plan in mind, should we rob the bank?" she joked. "Seriously though, are you really coming? Bring some chips on the way and don't forget my history exercise " amelia replies as she snuck her cellphone inbetween her shoulders and her ear, hoping it doesn't fall into the laundry water. "Alright, got it, I'll be there in umm" iris looks at her room, messy and misplaced clothes wardrobe, scanning around to see what needs to be done "in around an hour" she sighs. "Okay, clean your room and head over", "Got it, good luck with your laundry" she giggles as she presses to end the call.
