Chapter 1
I grabbed my bikini and pulled it on. I slipped on an
A&F sweatshirt over it, just so you could see the bottoms. I
grabbed my favorite book 'Twenty boy Summer' and I walked
out the door. I was halfway down our long driveway, when I heard
my dad yelling my name.
"Ronnie! You forgot your phone!" He yelled
I walked back, and grabbed the phone out of his hand.
"Thanks dad, can't believe I forgot that." I
thanked him.
In reality, I really could believe that I forgot it. See, we had
moved here in the middle of summer, and my only friends were my
brothers, tristian and Michael. Our mom left us when we were just
babies. She told our dad to take care of us, and that she was
just to young to be a mom. It was funny, the way she did things.
Or at least I thought it was. I was sandwhiched between tristian
and Michael. Michael was the oldest, then me, and then Tristian.
We are all exactly nine months apart, our parents wanted to make
it so we'd all be close in age. I was halfway to the beach by
now, the only place I'd been going all summer. I didn't
have any friends, and living in the biggest house in town
wasn't helping. We moved so my dad could do his work here,
but it made us the richest people. Most kids dream of that, but I
hated it. All I wanted was a library card, and some friends. And
when I got those things maybe I'd want more. I was finally
reaching the hot sand, when I fell to the ground.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" I heard a mans
voice.
I pulled myself up and brushed off my legs.
"Hey, are you okay? I'm sorry my friend over here shoved
me into you." He said, blushing.
"Why would he do that?" I said, not really paying
attention.
"Well, you see, I thought you were beautiful, and I
couldn't stop staring, so he told me to talk to you. When he
pushed me, I stumbled and hit you. This is really embarassing,
I'm sorry. I'll let you get back to your friends
no-" He said, while I interupted.
"I don't have any friends. I moved here a little less
than a month ago, and nobody's been around because of the
summer." I explained.
"Oh, well, if I didn't already ruin my own image, would
you like to hang out with us? We were just gonna chill for a
little bit." he said, pointing towards his nerdy looking
group of friends.
I smiled.
"I would love to hang out with you. And your image, just a
little dented."
