I just moved to California from North Carolina. It reminded me a lot about it. It was hot, and beautiful. I miss North Carolina though. It was always so pretty and I lived right down the road from the ocean. When I was little my parents and I always had this one little place behind some trees we would go to when we went to the beach to look at the ocean. I loved that place more than anything. It became my favorite place to go after my dad passed away from lung cancer four years ago. I moved to North Carolina from Wisconsin when I was twelve. I miss Wisconsin though. You see, me and my best friend Chad, discovered a beautiful waterfall one day on one of our journeys when we went camping. He moved away when I was ten. We used to spend every day together. Then his parents forced him to move, and he never told me where he was going, so I haven't talked to him since. Worst of all, he moved on my 11th birthday. I was heartbroken after that, I wouldn't talk to anyone. Soon after I moved to North Carolina, and my dad passed away 2 years later. Then my mom got a job as a C.E.O. for a big company called "Establishment for Human Rights". I guess they sponsor big gatherings with millions of dollars and work with the Law Enforcement. So that's why we were brought here. My mom and I had to move because she was being relocated. I liked our house though, it was old, but that's what made it unique. I guess the new house isn't so bad though, except it kind of makes me feel older, like you know how in movies the guy always says to his fiancé or whatever, 'you can have anything in the world' and the girl always end up saying 'I want a big white house with blue shutters and a blue door'? Yeah, now I live in that house. In my opinion it was way too big for my liking, but hey, what's one more thing to get used to right?

I finished unpacking and lay on my bed. "Hopefully this will be a good change." I thought. Then my mom came in my room, looking at me like I doing something out of the ordinary.

"Look sweetie I know you didn't want to move but maybe this will be better for you. I have to go to work but why don't you go out today? Get some sun; you looked like you need it." She said with a smile, and walked down the stairs.

I thought maybe she was right. I went to my closet which was also too big for my liking, and grabbed my running clothes and put them on, I grabbed my iPod and left. I ran and ran and ran probably for about 2 miles non-stop, and I almost fell down. When I stopped I was at an ocean, maybe there's peace here too. I sat in the sand and took in the smell of the ocean and the breeze from the palm trees, when someone stepped in front of me blocking the sun from me, it didn't make me very happy. I look up and there was this gorgeous guy smiling at me, he had the cutest smile and the most beautiful blue eyes, he had blonde hair and it was shaggy, plus he had an amazing 6 pack. But for some reason he looked strangely familiar.

"Excuse me, can I help you?" I asked, still annoyed that he was blocking my sun.

"Oh. I'm sorry you just look really familiar." He said showing his perfect white smile. "You want to walk?"

I didn't even know him but for some reason he felt really comforting, "Sure".

We walked back towards the direction of my house but stopped at this local park. I walked over and sat on a swing and he laughed, joining me.

"I've never seen you around here before, but yet I feel like I've met you a long time ago, where you from?" he asked, fairly curious.

"You're right, you haven't seen me, I just moved here from North Carolina." I said.

There was silence for a while.

"Is it much like California?" he asked looking down.

"A lot like it. But, there aren't nice people to greet you in North Carolina." We both laughed.

"Have you lived in North Carolina your whole life?" he asked.

"No. My mom has a high job so we move around a lot. I told my mom I'm not moving after this though." I said.

"Oh and whys that?" he asked, laughing. Something must have amused him.

"You try lifting a million boxes and then you ask that question again." I laughed.

"You don't look like the type to procrastinate." He smiled.

"Ah, yes, but looks may be deceiving." I stated.

We both laughed, and talk for a little bit more, then I started noticing that it was getting dark.

"I'd better go. It's getting dark." I said getting up, plus I was freezing.

"Time goes by fast. I should probably get going too. Will I see you around here, tomorrow?" he smiled.

"Most likely." I said and gave him my breathtaking smile. And of course I took his breath away. He stood there looking at me dumbfounded, eyes wide. I laughed and started jogging towards my house. I stopped to hear him shouting. I turned around and saw him standing about 30 feet away from me.

"I never caught your name!" He shouted.

I smiled to myself. "That's because I never threw it!" I shouted back. And started with my jogging again.

By the time I got home, my mom was here, dinner was done, she was watching television, and I was so tired I wanted to collapse.

"Hi Honey." My mom said, as she walked into the kitchen to put dinner on the table. "How was your day today?" she smiled.

"It was great actually. I went for a jog, and met this really cute guy. We were talking for hours at the park. Then I finally realized it was getting dark so I came home." I smiled.

"Well that's nice honey. Well, I'm off to bed now. Goodnight Sweetheart." She smiled and walked up the stairs.

"Goodnight mom." I smiled. I walked up the stairs and took a shower, changed into my fluffy pajamas, and went to sleep.

I woke up to my iPod blasting, making me almost fall off my bed. 'IM SO ADDICTED TO, ALL THE THINGS YOU DO, WHEN YOU'RE ROLLING AROUND WITH ME, IN BETWEEN THE SHEETS!' I laughed and got up. I changed into my jean shorts that had an S on the pocket written in Rhinestones, my white spaghetti strap shirt, and my red and blue star flats. I grabbed my iPod and my cell phone and walked out the door. It felt great outside, so I decided to walk back to the beach like yesterday to see if mystery guy was there, but most importantly to soak up the sand. I plugged my head phones into my ears and started singing to one of my favorite songs.

"I am confident
But I still have my moments
Baby, that's just me
I'm not a supermodel
I still eat McDonald's
Baby, that's just me

Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything
Because of where I
Had my start and where I made my name
Well, everything's the same
In the la-la land machine
Machine, machine

Who said I can't wear my
Converse with my dress
Well, baby, that's just me [ah]
Who says I can't be single
And have to go out and mingle
Baby, that's not me

Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything
'cause of where I
Had my start and where I made my name
Well, everything's the same
In the la-la land...

Tell me, do you feel the way I feel
'Cause nothing else is real
In the la-la land machine

Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything
Because of where I
Had my start and where I made my name
Well, everything's the same
In the la-la land machine

Well, I'm not gonna change
In the la-la land machine
Well, I will stay the same
In the la-la land machine

Machine
Machine
I won't change anything in my life
I won't change anything in my life
I'm staying myself tonight
I'm staying myself tonight
La, la, la, la, la"

By the time my song was over, I forgot I was singing to it, I got to the beach, and a bunch of people were cheering me on haha. My voice isn't that fantastic. I changed my iPod to 'Bang A Drum by Selena Gomez' and kept walking. I walked to the park and closed my eyes for maybe 2 seconds and then ran into something, or someone. I looked up to find…
