    THE MOIST AIR absorbed into her skin and made her hair even more frizzy. She looked over shoulder, to see a group of people gathering around a large bonfire. She skipped over, her fingers wrapped around her opposing wrist as she watched people let out hollers as some girl winced, her wrist band falling into the flames making them roar even higher into the dark sky. Summer watched as they popped wristband after wristband off. She picked at her lips with her fingers, anxiety crawling up her throat, hoping they didn't force her to remove hers.…
