Introducing Summer Marlow
imagined by: James Mathias

Illustration Friday topic is “Summer” yet another super vague and lame topic. I am starting to lose faith in the system. I know for a fact that there has to be some more interesting topics in the suggestion queue. Come On peen-na-lope, let’s see them. Anyways, without further ado here’s the story of Summer Marlow, told in first person of course
, enjoy.
Hi, I’m like Summer, well not like the season, but like the person… Anyways, I’m super excited about going to prom in a few weeks, I’m only a freshman but I think Tony Aruba is going to like ask me, in fact I’m sure of it!
Tony’s like a senior, and he’s captain of the foosball team at school ya know. Anyways he walked past me in front of the library last week and he like smiled in my direction and I said “Hi, umm Tony.” And he like nodded towards me. I’m like so excited. I’m positive he wants to ask me. He’s sooo gorgeous. I mean seriously if he were anymore of a hottie I’d die, no, for sure.
Anyways, so like, how do you like my new lime green one piece? My mom bought it for me, and she says I look pretty in it, and if any body says different its cause their jealous and I’m like for sure real pretty if Tony’s interested, right? So like, anyways, my mom says I’m just big boned and that I’ll grow out of it in my college years, and you know what she’s like right, cause I’m what they call thick, and I suppose that’s ok cause like it works for J-lo and all and J-lo is like the best.
So like, anyways, I really like the way this suit flatters my curves, I mean, I think I look like a total hottie, and I think, like, Tony does too. What do you think?
Yeah well, I think this week is going to be like the best of my life for sure, without a doubt Tony is going to ask me out later this week, like Friday, The prom is on like Saturday so he needs to hurry up. My mom says he’s prolly just ’fraid to ask ’cause I’m so pretty and he might just be a little intimated by that. I think she’s right, right?
Ok, so it’s like Friday afternoon, and Tony’s been avoiding me like, all day, I’m hoping he’ll get me alone after school and be like “Um, Hi. Summer, so like do you wanna go to Prom or what?” and I’ll be like, “Duh, for sure, Tony I love you” and he’ll be like “I love you too Summer, totally.”
Umm, yeah well, it’s Friday night, and I’m at home alone and I’ve been like crying for-like-ever, Tony never came up to me after school at all, I’m so mad. I heard from Julie that he’s like taking Marge to the Prom, and that he was just leading me on last week. My mom says that it’s ’his loss’, but I’m so hurt and sad and like so mad, I could just take this razor blade and slice my neck open, that’d show that bastard. That’d show him.
Hi, I’m like Summer, well not like the season, but like the person… You know.
by the way, if next week yields another suck-ass–no offense penelope, I know you don’t think them up, just pick them–topic I am going to start offering an alternate topic here on my blog.

Hi, I’m like Tony Aruba and I want you to know there is no way I’d ask Summer to the prom, like not even look at her. I was practising in the mirror behind her, that is if she was even there, although it was kinda hard not to miss er because she is sooooo big boned and was kinda blocking my reflection. I’m also kinda suss about the bone showing down below now you’ve pointed out her in a lime green costume. Summer is NOT like the season - a hottie that is.

Geeeeeez, James! Way to scare people! Thank gawd I was never popular nor a hottie in high school. Otherwise I woulda like had a Colombian necktie and that woulda been totally lame. Like fer sure!
P.S. My suggestion for this weeks topic would have been ’Boner’. I’ll bet a lotta people would have loved that land mine…
:-D
BTW, you crack me up!
