Summer Love

Chapter 1

I can't believe I graduated high school. But now my mom is making me go visit my dad with my twin brother who left my mom when we were 10 years old, I disagreed in so many ways telling her that am going to summer class for college credit but I haven't even enroll in any so she didn't buy it.

Were on the freeway and I put my ear buds on just to ignore what my mom is saying because I really don't want to hear what she is saying to me. I fall asleep and I wake up about 3 hours and I gaze out seeing the trees, fields and dirt.

"Janel sweetie?"
I just nod at her as she sees me from the rear view mirror.
"Promise me you would atleast try and have fun this summer with your dad?"
Is she seriously asking me that? I just turned my music up.

"Mom?"
"Yes Brant?"
"Does Dad know Janel was arrested?"
"Brant shut up!"
"Janel don't take to your brother like that."

The car was quite as we drove by the town Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina. The waves crashing to the light brown sand. I saw a ferris wheel, huh so there is a fair in town? I bet Brant is going to want to go. I looked up towards him and he is looking at me with a smile and I just smiled back.

"Okay we are here" I heard my mom say.

I had nervs going through my whole body like if I was going to throw up just as we drove into my dad driveway. I got out of the car and he was standing out the porch waiting for us.

"Nice! I didn't know you live on the beach Dad!?" Brant said with excitement.

"Yes bud. You grown! How are you like 6 foot?"

"Hahha yeah dad"

I watch as Brant walks into the beach house as my parents hug. It was wierd. I walk upstairs and he has his arms opened waiting for a hug

"Janel, oh my your so beautiful baby."

I wanted to cry and scream at him but I just walked past him without saying anything.

"Peter just give her time, the divorce was hard on her."

"How much longer does she need?"

I left my bags in the living room, then I left to walk in the beach. Everyone kept looking at me then I realized why I wasn't wearing my swimsuit or a dress in summer like everyone in this town. I was wearing a long sleeve crop top, ripped jeans with a flannel shirt around my waist and black combat boots, I didn't care what they think about me.

I made my way to the boardwalk to the fair just to check it out just to see if I want to come with Brant later on because I know he wants to. I spotted a smoothie stand and it was calling my name "Janel drink me.."
So I ended up buying a fruit smoothie.

There was a huge crowd as I turned around and I couldn't get myself out so I went through it, guys were playing basketball because a sweaty guy fell on top of me and spilled my whole freaking smoothie on my shirt.

He picked me back up

"What the hell! Watch were you're going!"

"Am sorry I didn't see you there"

"It's okay I said it just a shirt" Really Janel it just a shirt? This is my freaking favorite shirt!!

"Please let me buy you a new shirt"

"No it's okay, you can go back to your game." I was so mad

"I'll let the other team get a rest"

"Huh cocky much?"

He laughed and smirked
"My name is Val by the way"

"Val am Janel."

"I haven't seen..."

I cut him off
"Val? I have to go."
