The wind over the summer

If I could go back in time to the summer of sixteen, I still can't remember how I spent it. I think it belongs to every girl's time. Although the age of sixteen is not a carefree age, all the sensitivity and willfulness, as well as the sadness that only teenagers have, only seems appropriate at the age of sixteen. Timely.

Sixteen years old, who is by your side? In class and chatting unscrupulously with the same table, after class, I will go to the next class to find you. At sixteen, we filled our notebooks with our imaginations and loneliness and exchanged; we were forever discussing how the boy in the next class played basketball and his excellent grades; our pockets were full of lyrics books, popular magazines, Sports "Weekly News"; if you can't switch classes, find an excuse to borrow books and bring a small note with you.

Sixteen years old, have you ever recognized a so-called sister? Will it appear in front of her the first time she needs it, as in the movie? We were sixteen years old and grew up in China, so we didn't have the chance to go to different places for summer vacation and rely on a pair of jeans to maintain our friendship. We just bored at home doing summer homework with the air conditioner, and then ran to each other's house every now and then to rent one. The ghost film was wrapped in a quilt and read it. The sixteen-year-old us are not the beautiful girls in the movie, there is no romantic encounter, but it is real enough to touch each other's hearts, and then think that we have grown up.

If I can remember anything meaningful I did in the summer of sixteen, it's you, even though we're scattered all over the world today.

If I have a pair of jeans, can we still continue the story of the sixteen?

    I was crying...for our friendship

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants quotes

  • Tibby: I'm just saying parents screw up. It's what they're good at. They do.

  • Carmen: [At her house, sitting at a table across from Tibby. Awkwardly, shifting in her chair, Carmen speaks into the phone] Um... I just... I wan - .

    Al: [At his house, Al walks from the dining room where Lydia and the kids eat dinner, to a small den and speaks to Carmen at a whisper] I-It's alright. You don't - you don't have to apologize, sweetheart. You were... upset, I know.

    Carmen: Um... no dad. You don't know. That's just it, you've never known. Because I've never been able to tell you.

    Al: T-Tell me what?

    Carmen: That I'm angry with you, Dad!

    [She stands and walks across the room and begins to pace]

    Carmen: This entire thing about you, and Lydia, and... and the kids!

    Al: It's my fault.

    [He sits at a small table]

    Al: I, I should have told you about them before... and I'm - I'm sorry.

    Carmen: Yeah, you should have warned me, but it's more than that. It's, it's the fact that you've found yourself this new family and I feel like some outsider that doesn't even belong to you anymore.

    [Carmen begins to cry, softly]

    Carmen: It's like you traded me and mom in for something that you thought was better. And I wanna know why. Are you ashamed of me? Are you embarrassed?

    [Cut to Al, listening to Carmen through the phone]

    Carmen: Just tell me, Dad. What did I do wrong?

    [Back to Carmen, crying much harder now]

    Carmen: Why did you leave? Why did you have to go? And then tell me that we were gonna be closer but that never happened! And why does Paul visit his alcoholic dad every month, but you only visit me twice a year? And I know you... you just seem so happy about being Paul and Chris's dad, but you never even had the time to be mine.

    Al: [Cuts to Al, still sitting. Very quietly] I'm sorry. I... I'm so sorry...

    Carmen: [Back to Carmen] I wish that were enough, Dad.

    [Hangs up]
