I have had a summer.
This summer is hot and lonely.
And then, adolescence was dancing in my life, clamoring and whistling, proving it was coming.
At that time, I suddenly became autistic, especially to my parents, they said, I started to have my own mind and little secrets.
It was also at that time that I fell in love with the girl next door, or the girl next door.
Girls hit puberty first, always fascinated by boys.
Anyway, no matter what the reason, boys, began to taste the taste of secret love.
The protagonist, a young boy, Duncan, has a little chest and a childish look. He goes on vacation to the beach with his mother and a single father with a daughter. It is indeed difficult to integrate these two incomplete family combinations.
Parents have their own old friends and neighbors, but they are just a newcomer, born in the same place, this kind of loneliness may be unprecedented.
The estrangement between family members can only be felt by those who have experienced similar experiences.
I am introverted, a little autistic, I like to listen to my favorite music by myself, and I am at a loss when others see it.
I don't have enough pocket money. After buying what I like to eat, I can only watch others play video games, although it's not the type of game I like. But at least once in a while, I can let myself rub two hands and enjoy it.
In this way, I will meet one or two nodding friends, and suddenly feel that I am no longer alone when I have a friend, so I will go to see if this friend is still playing the unpopular game he likes to play at the same time and place.
Suddenly, I like to go to places with a lot of people, preferably unfamiliar ones, find a place to sit and watch people come and go, there is a lot of traffic. When I started to write, I began to learn to observe the various states of the world.
Everyone is busy with their own business and will not pay too much attention to the silent people around them. I don't need to talk, I just pass by, see and think about it. They would later be described differently in my writing book as different characters.
Maybe, this kind of excitement will dilute the feeling of loneliness, but going out on time every day is to be able to walk a certain distance with that girl.
very excited.
Suddenly one day, I would experience something that gave myself a courageous confidence and stepped forward. Duncan showed his crappy hip-hop to the crowd, and I showed the crowd a fashion catwalk.
In this way, Duncan managed to collect the cardboard for the street dance crowd in the amusement park, and I also managed to win a fan. Get out of your body.
At that time, I suddenly discovered the affirmation of myself, the joy, maybe the feeling of winning a trophy at an awards ceremony. His own smile appeared on his face.
At this time, I suddenly found that the friend appeared in the lively crowd, and we became close, talked about everything, joked with each other, and even we didn't understand each other's humor. He was older and experienced and took me to experience some interesting things I had never tried before.
Everything seemed to be going so smoothly.
But at this time, there was a problem with that good friend. He is lost. And my family has become less harmonious.
Summer is rainy. In this way, people's mood then became depressed. Something got messed up.
Dark clouds sometimes linger for a few days, but leave anyway, in a hurry.
It rained and it was fine.
When I saw my friend again, he changed. A breakup can change a person, some for the better and some for the bad. Friends are the former, so he successfully saved his love.
And I, because of certain things, got closer to her who I liked. Although my heart was pounding, I was able to tell her more, even though many of them were the bad jokes he told me before.
Happiness is always short-lived. For some reason at home, I broke out and just wanted to get away from this place.
She came to comfort me, and I couldn't help but want to kiss her. I poked my head over, she was alert, I said sorry and turned around and ran away.
I found him, that friend.
It happened to be a friend of a friend who had something to do, and everyone had a good time eating, drinking, and having fun. In this way, I spent the whole night happily, and most importantly, I also witnessed the sweet feelings of my friends. It makes me think that maybe this is the place I like, and I hope to stay here all the time if I have the conditions.
Times have changed, maybe just one day.
I didn't expect to leave him so soon. Maybe he is leaving me. The time with him was a joy.
Parting is always inadvertently brought tears.
In this way, summer may end early.
You must think I've messed up.
actually not.
I am me, I am Duncan, I am every boy.
A beautiful memory, maybe very long, maybe very short, condensed into this summer.
I forgot, did she end up kissing me like Susannah kissed Duncan.
To the boys who have experienced the same loneliness as me.
