The Secret That Killed
part 2

We finally made it to the beach. Pretty much everyone was there already. I introduced Ethan to everyone. He fit right in. He was throwing a football with a few of the guys while I was tanning with Sydney and a few other girls. Out of nowhere he walked up to me and asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. Of course I said yes. We started walking away when all my immature friends shouted stuff at us. “So, where are you from?” I asked him. “New York.” He said. “Really, that’s so cool I have only been there once but it was a beautiful city. What made you move down here to Florida?” I said. “It’s complicated. But why does it matter really. If I wouldn’t have, I never would have met you.” He said. “True.” I giggled and started to blush. “So, where’s your dad at?” “What do you mean?” he said. “You said that you moved here with your mom and brother. Does he still live in New York? I know I hate having my parents divorced but my mom only lives a few hours away. Yours lives states away!” I blabbed. “Uh, no. my dad died when I was younger.” He said quietly. “Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. I had no idea.” I replied. “It’s okay.” He said. “What did he die from?” I asked. He looked and me like he was starting to get upset. “Look we don’t have to talk...” I was interrupted. “Look I should get home and finish unpacking some stuff.” He started to walk away. “Alright. Well, I guess I’ll talk to you later!” I yelled. He looked back and waved. I’m so stupid. I may have just blown my chances with Ethan. I just don’t understand why he is so secretive about his past. I walked back over to Sydney. “What happened?” she asked. “He had to go.” I said. “Oh, are you okay? You seem a little upset.” She said. “What? No. I am fine.” I said. I started to gather up my stuff. “I just have to go. I um remember my dad gave me a long list of chores to do today.” “Oh. Okay, I guess?” she said confused. “Yeah, I’ll call you later okay? Bye!” I ran off. I ran straight to my house. I was so mad at myself. I ruined my chances with Ethan and I upset him. Way to go Callie.  







 

The Secret That Killed
Part 1

I was woken up by the beautiful sun shining through my window. I jumped out of bed, put on my bikini and jean shorts and tank top, straightened my hair and put on a little bit of waterproof make-up.. I walked out to the kitchen where I saw my father making some coffee. I got a bowl of cereal and had a seat at the table. “Good morning Callie. What plans do you have for your first day of summer break?” he said “I um am going to the beach today.” Just then my best friend Sydney walked up to the sliding glass door and knocked. “Hey, mom, I got to go.” I grabbed my bag and ran out the door. Sydney and I were walking down the sidewalk when we passed a house that has been for sale for years. Surprisingly people were moving in. A really cute guy walked out of the house. “Can I help you guys?” he said “I didn’t know someone bought this house.” Sydney said. “Yea. My mom, my brother and I got here yesterday.” He said. “Oh, I see. I am Callie; I live a few houses up the road. And this is Sydney, she lives about two blocks away.” I said. “Nice to meet you, I am Ethan.” He said. “Well, we got to go, but if you would like a bunch of us from our school are meeting at the beach for the whole day. You should come and stop by.” I said. “Maybe.” He said. I and Sydney walked away and around the corner. “You love him don’t you?!”Sydney said. “What? I don’t know what you’re talking about!” I blushed and smiled. “Oh my gosh! I knew it!”She said. “Oh, shut up!” I laughed and shoved her.”Do you think he’ll come to the beach?” we heard someone yell my name. it was Ethan. “I don’t know. You tell me!” Sydney laughed and started walking away. I waited for him to catch up to me. “So, you decided to come?” I said. “I couldn’t pass up the chance to spend the day at the beach with a pretty girl like you.” He said. I started to blush. We started walking. We talked the whole way to the beach. Everything about him is perfect. His really short brown flippy hair, his hazel eyes, and his perfect smile that made me melt. He was rather tall and really skinny.
