A Week of Summer

Okay, so spring break has ended a while ago for me and now I am in total summer break mode. Admit it, a lot of you guys are. The school part of your brain has gone into hibernation mode.

I want everyone to write a story about an entire week of summer, but no more than a week of summer of:
Vacation
Birthday
Hook up
Break up
First times
Competition
Camp
Friendship
Run away
Moving
It can be depressing, sad, comical, happy, unrealistic, realistic, cute, ugly, blue, red, purple, whatever!


If you put it in a diary format, I'll give you 5 extra points in the end when I'm scoring each story, which can really help boost you from honorable mention to silver. *hint hint*

I don't want it to be more than 3000 words. NO MORE THAN 3000 WORDS. People can't seem to read those darn numbers sometimes. So, here I go again...3000, 3000, 3000, 3000 MAX

I want it to be emotional, original, descriptive, creative, and GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT!

Just to make sure you're still reading...
Put gender and age in authors notes and what you're writing about from the list above. Also, put which you think is cooler: a cow or a chicken.

Prewrites and multiple entries allowed.

Get writing!

*POINTS WILL GO UP DEPENDING ON THE ENTRIES I RECEIVE*

      Although I must say I love winters and hate the heat of the sun and the fact that I tan too easily. =P

    please ignore my entry, the last summer. it's basically just a spot holder until I can finish writing and then type up this thing I'm working on for the contest.
