Jay and OPEN
Fireworks were cool. Jay was a fan. He loved the idea of going out and stuffing his face while he watched things blow up, so he'd gotten there really early to get a good place to lay down his blanket.
It was hot - really hot - but he could deal with that. And plus, the sun would go down eventually and cool things off, and there were all sorts of awesome, sweet, fizzy drinks he could use to keep from dying until then.
He hoped some of his friends might show up, but even if they didn't, he was determined to have a good time.
