A Memorable Summer Doctors running through the corridors, people crying, it was too late to do something, the patient had already died. Me in the middle, lost, the only word that could describe my situation. This is how my summer ended. “What happened?” Mariana asked. “It’s Iva, she drank some kind of drug that burned her digestive system,” I said. That was the only thing I could understand after talking with the doctor. Iva had to fly to the United States and get some professional treatment. All her digestive system had to get reconstructed because of the acid she drank by mistake. This acid not only messed up all her system but also made her lose all her memory so she couldn’t remember what had happened. Iva was one of my closest friends. We had become very close after spending three weeks together. All I could think of when looking at her, lying on the hospital bed was trouble. She was messed up, all of her insides were burned and she had to take some treatment for three months. Watching the faces of the doctors didn’t help at all. They were very worried for Iva. All the food she ingested made the situation even worse. Imagine having every single part of your digestive system burned, it was a disaster! She couldn’t eat because it would make the organs swell even more. Everyone that looked at her thought she could have been pregnant; her stomach was read and you could tell how all her body was in total pain. She pulled her tongue out and it was full of blisters. The doctors were trying to figure out what kind of acid she had ingested, all her inner body had second-degree burns. My friends and her family were impressed. The doctors said that a case like this one had never showed up in the hospital’s history, which made the situation even more drastic. As soon as we entered the disco Iva decided to go with the Russians. We arrived to the conclusion. Very weird people always surrounded Russians, the possibilities that a friend of them gave her a zip of his drink were very high. This “drink” was apparently a concentrate mixture of acids. Prim, that was all the time with her, started to scream because of the stress. She had her forehead frowned and the only words that came out of her mouth were “O god how did this happen”. Iva’s personality is complicated. She is a very extraverted person and sometimes can lose control. She never considers the trouble things can bring. Being very social and never thinking about the consequences, make her personality unique. I know that if I need a partner for something crazy she will be available. However, this was the main cause of this terrible catastrophe. When I think about France the first thing that comes to my mind is the Eiffel Tower. The school year was coming to an end; all I wanted was an independent and an unforgettable summer. I asked my parents what were we doing in vacation and they said we were going to stay in Cartagena all summer long. As soon as I heard this I started looking in the Internet for summer schools, I wanted to spend my summer doing a different thing. I went to college counseling to ask for recommendation for some cool summer camps. They gave me a couple but I really didn’t like them. I asked my friends if they wanted to come with me but all of them had already plans with their family until one day. One sunny afternoon I was playing tennis with Mariana, we started talking about our summer and I started to convince her to do something cool and interesting with me. After two hours of playing tennis we were about to start a match, I said to her that if I !
27!
