was going to postpone your vacation and send you to summer school to. Please don’t be mad Summer I didn’t mean to get you roped into summer school.”
           Summer just started laughing.
           “What’s so funny?” Jessa asked.
           “The principal told me that my teachers insisted on me going to summer school, so I had to go anyway. This way though mom thinks it’s her idea and she want get mad at me.” She explained.
           “Summer are you ever going to take school serious?”
           “Let’s see high school will have more boys, so probably not.” She answered with a grin.
           “So what do you have planned for us to do this weekend?” Jessa asked.
           “Well I thought we could go shopping and then to have our hair done. If that’s alright with you?”
           “Summer I don’t have any money to go shopping with let alone to have my hair done. What’s wrong with you?”
           “Nothing is wrong with me. I never said you had to have money to go.”
            “So you’re going shopping and I’m going to watch?” Jessa asked.
            “No. You’ll just have to wait and see. Now let’s go watch a movie and eat a lot of junk food.” Summer replied
           Jessa didn’t say another word she just followed Summer downstairs to the T.V. room. It was already set up for them, there was popcorn, soda, candy and they were told that they had ice cream in the freezer if they wanted any.
           “Hey Jessa.”
           “Yeah.” Jessa replied.
           “Thanks for being my friend.” Summer said.
           “Thank you for being mine.” Jessa replied.
           Jessa had never ate so much popcorn in her life and when the movie was over she was glad to head to bed. Once inside the guess room she went to take a shower that’s when she noticed that Summer had put a silk pair of pajamas, a robe and a pair of house shoes in the bathroom for her. I don’t know what I ever done to deserve a friend like Summer she thought as she got in the shower but I’m truly thankful for her.
           The next morning Jessa woke to Summer standing over her.
           “I thought you were going to sleep all day. Come on breakfast is waiting for us. I’m pretty sure mom made chocolate chip pancakes.”
           “Okay let me get dressed first.” Jessa told her.
           “You can get dressed after we eat. Come on I’m starving.”
           Jessa got up threw on the robe and house shoes and headed downstairs with Summer for breakfast. Jessa could smell the food as soon as she was downstairs. On the table were chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit and a cold pitcher of milk. The sight of all that food made her stomach growl so following Summer she took a seat and started eating.
           It felt like she had been eating for hours when Summer said they needed to get dressed. The girls went upstairs to get dressed and as soon as Jessa went into her room she noticed her clothes were gone.
           “Summer can you come here.” Jessa called.
            “What’s wrong Jessa?” Summer asked.
            “My clothes are gone.” Jessa told her.
           “What? Jessa your clothes are right here.”
           “Not those the ones I took off last night when I went to shower.”
           Summer just started laughing.
           “Summer it’s not funny. Now are you going to help me find my clothes or not?” Jessa asked.
           Summer just kept on laughing.
           “Summer stop laughing at me.” Jessa all but yelled.
           “I’m sorry Jessa. Your clothes aren’t gone our maid just took them to be washed. See she even maid the bed and cleaned the bathroom.” Summer told her.
           Jessa hadn’t even noticed that the bed had been made or that the dirty towels in the bathroom were gone
