Summer Love
Chapter 3
Next thing I knew, I found myself
lost and confused on the boardwalk, trying to remember my way
home
"Ooft, sorry," I mumbled as I bumped into somebody.
I was mentally praying it wasn't that Ethan guy from the
beach earlier today.
That's just how most of these silly stories just played
out.
Luckily for me, my prayers were answered, and I listened as a
petite blonde girl spoke up.
"It's my fault, I wasn't paying attention." she
replied, and I caught a glimpse of her.
She was the definition of a California girl: perfectly long
blonde hair, eyes bluer than the ocean, skin that's tan year
round, and the perfect body.
I suddenly felt a wave of insecurity come over me, knowing I
looked nothing like her.
Like I said before, I didn't fit in here.
"I'm Tara, by the way," she continued, holding out
a hand for me to shake.
I stared at in montarily, before I finally replied to her.
"I'm Savannah," I said with a smile, shaking her
hand.
"I love that name!" she exclaimed, making a few people
walking near us stare, but she didn't mind.
I didn't know this girl for more than a few minutes, and I
already was insanely jealous.
"Thanks," I replied, shyly, to her.
"Oh my gosh, I love your top," she blurted, referring
to my tank top.
I looked down, suddenly forgetting what shirt I was wearing,
before looking back to her.
"Thanks, it's probably one of my favorites." I
laughed, and so did Tara.
"Hey, me and my old roommates are having a party at my house
Friday, kind of like a start of the summer party," she
shrugged, "do you want to come?"
I thought for a moment, thinking if I had anything to do with my
grandparents then.
"Sure, I'll come." I replied.
Tara smiled, and clapped her hands together.
"Awesome! Now come on, you have to meet the rest of my
friends, they'll love you!" she said, nearly yanking my
arm out of the socket back towards the beach.
A few moments later, Tara began walking towards a group of people
at the volleyball courts.
I quickly scanned around for the jerk guy Ethan, and sighed in
relief when I didn't spot him.
I don't know why I didn't want to see him, but I
didn't, and that was it.
"Okay, Sav, this is Monica, Christina, and Rachel," she
began, pointing at three girls just as perfect as she was,
"and these are our guy friends, Cameron, Danny, and
Jake." she finished.
All six of them waved at me, as they each individually introduce
themselves.
"We all were in the same dorm building all throughout
college," Monica said.
"I still can't believe we've already
graduated," Christina said next.
Jake raised an eyebrow at me, "What about you?"
"I just graduated this year," I said with a small
shrug.
Tara's eyes nearly lit up, like she was amazed with
everything I mentioned about myself.
All the others had near the same looks.
I think I was actually liking it here, so far.
"Which school?" Cameron asked to me.
"NYU, all the way back home," I said with a laugh.
Rachel's eyes widened, before she spoke up, "You came
here all the way from New York?!"
I nodded, feeling all eyes on me, "I'm staying for the
summer with my grandparents, since I don't really see them
much." I shrugged, like it was nothing.
Danny grinned, "Well then, looks like we'll have to make
your summer worth the ride."
I know, it wasn't that long of a
chapter, but it's Thanksgiving! So happy Thanksgiving to
everybody! Hope you all enjoy your day, and your turkey!
