Just a Girl?
Chapter 1- The Beginning
"Dad, I really don't understand why we have to go on this thing." Nathan asked his father while they were packing the car up with all the luggage.
"Because, Nate. Cheryl wants to spend some time as a family. So, we decided on going to the beach house."
"But, Brooke isn't even coming. She is a part of the family too." Nathan whined. He really didn't want to go on this trip. Brooke was Cheryl's kid, which made her a part of the family, but yet she wasn't coming.
"That's because," Dan started as he put the last piece of luggage into the trunk and shut it. "Brooke is going to her dad's for the summer."
"Well, then why don't I go to mom's?" He was trying his best to not go on this trip. If he were to go then it would be him sitting on the beach all on his lonesome, while his dad and his new wife have a second honeymoon. He really didn't want to witness that.
"You can't. She went on a trip with that new boyfriend of hers. Now, no more complaining. Get in the car and we're off."
"Fine." Nathan mumbled as he opened the door and got in his seat.
Cheryl and Dan also got in. Dan started the car and backed out of the drive way.
"Oh," Cheryl started to say, looking back to Nathan, but also talking to Dan. "When we get there, we have to unpack fast, because I promised this lady I work with whose beach house is right next to ours that we would have dinner with them tonight. They are a really nice family. And Nathan, they have a girl about Brooke's age." With that she turned around.
"Oh, goody." Nathan mumbled sarcastically. He had a feeling this summer was going to suck.
"Mom, I am soo excited. A summer, with no distractions, just the beach and the beautiful beach house." Haley said while sitting in her house with her mother, waiting for her dad to come in and tell them that it was time to go to the beach house.
"Haley-bub," Lydia James started. "You are a little bit over excited, don't you think? Most teenagers usually dread going on vacations with their families."
"Well, mother, I am not most teenagers. I'm excited to go. Especially since it's just going to be me, you and dad. No brother and sisters to worry about."
"Oh, Haley," was all Lydia said. Then, Jimmy James came into the house.
"Okay, guys! It's all ready to go." They began to walk out of the house, when Lydia stopped them.
"Oh my, I forgot to tell you. I met this really nice lady that I work with. She said that her family is going up to their beach house for the summer to. So, we decided to have dinner tonight."
"Well, Lydia," Jimmy said while walking over to his wife and putting his arm around her. "If we don't get going we won't be able to have dinner at all tonight."
Haley just laughed and walked out of the house. Haley felt that it was going to be a good summer. Hey, maybe she'd meet someone new.
Both families arrived at the same time. Dan had made Nathan help him unpack the car and Haley had begged Jimmy to let her help him.
"Okay, Dad, I got it." Nathan said to his father when his dad was giving him instructions. Nathan began to unpack the trunk. He picked up a box, he guessed was Cheryl's because it was insanely heavy. "It's probably all her stupid make-up." Nathan mumbled as he attempted to walk as he carried the box. He quickly stopped and put the box down.
Nathan picked up his head and looked over when he heard a door slam. When he did he saw a pretty teenage girl. She also, looked over at him. They immediately locked eyes. He smiled at her and she smiled back. 'Okay,' Nathan thought as he looked back down to the box and picked it up. 'This summer might not be so bad.'
Okay, that's a really short chapter, I never make chapters that short, but it's just to start up the storyline a little bit.
