𑁍'Beach City'?𑁍

I'm a terrible liar, always have been. My stuttering gives it away most of the time. I know he didn't buy it, but he gave me a weak smile anyways.

"Well I could take you to Beach City if you'd like! My band and I are heading back since the tour is over."

I only just looked around and realized there were other people, looked to be around my age, closing the van's back doors and loading themselves in.

I looked at the man suspiciously.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡?

He looked at me, surprised by what I said.

"Uh, there's no catch. It's just a simple gesture! No need for any catches."

I stare at the man for a second then give him a fake, but hopefully convincing smile.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫..

He gave me a big smile. It felt...sincere. It was strange, I don't recall ever seeing a smile like that before.

"Great! You can sit in the front if you'd like!"

He walked to the drivers side, while I slowly walked to the passenger side.

I opened the door and climbed into the van, setting my backpack on the floor in front of me.

"𝙷𝚎𝚢 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚐! 𝚆𝚑𝚘'𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜?"

I looked back to see 4 people sitting behind you. 2 were boys and the other 2 were girls.

"This is...uh..actually I don't know her name!"

The man...uh, Greg, looks at me as he starts the van.

𝐌𝐲 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞'𝐬 (𝐘/𝐍)..

Each of them said 'hi' and introduced themselves.

"𝚂𝚘! 𝚆𝚑𝚊𝚝'𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚗 𝙶𝚛𝚎𝚐'𝚜 𝚟𝚊𝚗!"

Sadie, a small girl with light blonde hair, the same girl that asked who I was spoke.

𝐈'𝐦 𝐮𝐡, 𝐦-𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐠 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞.

"𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒌?!"

Jenny, a semi-tall girl with dark chocolate skin and short fluffy black hair, looked at me with a shocked face.

𝐔𝐡...𝐲𝐞𝐬?

"ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴜsᴛ ɴᴏᴛ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴠᴇʀʏ ᴍᴀɴʏ ʙᴇʟᴏɴɢɪɴɢs ᴛʜᴇɴ?"

Sour Cream, a boy with tall almost bleach blonde hair and pale skin, questioned me.

𝐔𝐡, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲.

I was very uncomfortable. I barely knew these people and they were being really friendly.

Greg saw how uncomfortable I was and spoke up.

"Oh ho Kay! How about we save the questions for when we get to Beach City! How about we listen to some music for now?"

Greg put a tape into a console. There was a pause and a song started playing rather loud. I jumped a little but settled down after a while. I'm used to loud noises and especially loud music. My dad loved to play rock music loud in the car when I was little.

The memory rushed a wave of sadness over me, but I quickly pushed it down and stared out the window while listening to the music.

A really catchy song played. It sounded like Sadie singing. It must have been, seeing as they were all in a band together.

It was an hour or so and I noticed a sign in the distance.

'WELCOME TO BEACH CITY' was what it read. Then I noticed a smaller sign below it. 'AND LITTLE HOMEWORLD' was in big black letters on the smaller sign.

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘢 '𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥'?

As the van drove closer, I could see more of the small city. It wasn't even a city. It was more like a town. It was very beautiful though.

There were house of many different colors and shapes. Shops and restaurants spotted here and there. A beautiful, smooth board walk. A white, sandy beach next to a clear, sparkling ocean. There was also a tall, green hill. It's cliff pointed out towards the sea.

𝐖𝐨𝐰...

My eyes widened. I didn't mean to say that out loud.

Greg chuckled.

"It's pretty amazing, huh?

I don't know why and I don't know how, but this place seems...right. It gives me a feeling I can't identify.

I turn my head to look at Greg.

𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐡..

Woop woop! I did it! I finally made the first chapter!

I think I did pretty well on this.

I have a question though...

Does anyone know of a good app I can use for fonts? 😅

I have an app right now that I'm using but it doesn't give me many options...

Anyway! Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a good day/night!
