About Last Summer

Chapter Two

Skylar's POV
The next morning I was awoken by a soft knock and a slight creak at my door. Gigi peaked her head thorough the door making me aware that the time was 9:00 and I should get up, take a shower, and come downstairs for breakfast.

I rolled over into my back stretching then staring at the ceiling for a few minutes before I got out of bed and showered.

Once I was finished showering I put on a plain workout outfit that consisted of a white wife beater and grey Nike sweat shorts. I put on my socks and running shoes then walked downstairs.

As I started walking closer to the kitchen, the strong smell of coffee and bacon hit my nose and I swear I started salivating.

I walked into the kitchen and heard Gigi singing along to Rihanna (she needs to release a new album fr fr).

I laughed slightly. Before silently creeping behind her a tapping her on the shoulder.

She screamed, clutching her heart as her spatula that was flipping pancakes flew out of her hand.

"Dont do that!" She said after punching my arm lightly.

I was still doubled over laughing while she slightly glared at me. Eventually she cracked a smile and started laughing with me.

Eventually we settled down and she finished making breakfast.

We both sat down at the island in the middle of the kitchen and began digging in. I thanked her for the wonderful breakfast before asking her what her plans for the day were, as I had notice she was wearing her navy blue scrubs.

She told me she had a surgery to perform and had to leave right after breakfast. I was slightly saddened but I was fine with it knowing that it's her job and it doesn't just stop because her niece comes to visit for the summer.

Plus I could use the time to get to know the neighborhood and shops around since I was going to be here for the next 2 and a half months.

She asked me what I was planning to do for the day and I told her my plan. She nodded her head agreeing that it was a good idea and that maybe I could meet the other teens in the are that were around my age.

She told me that there was a girl my age that lives 3 houses down and across the street that she thought I should meet.

"You'll have to introduce me to her then I guess. I don't really feel like knocking on someone's door that I don't know." I said. "Oh hey nice to meet you! I know you have no idea who I am but I'm visiting my aunt. She lives down the street. Do you know her? Oh you don't... well she's the doctor with the braids she you know, brown skin about 5'6. Never heard of her? Ok well then goodbye sorry for wasting your time."

I can already hear the conversation now.

Gigi snorted after hearing my little rant. She walked towards me looking up at me since I was taller than her.

"I'm leaving for work. But on the way I'll call my neighbor and ask him if he'd like to have dinner with us tomorrow. I left some money on the counter for you. Be careful, I probably won't be back till tomorrow morning so if you need anything you can go to the neighbors. I'm sure your rant from earlier won't play out, he'll know who I am."

She grabbed her bag and walked out the garage door.  I heard the garage open and the slight rumble of her cat before the sound of the car slowly got quieter and the garage closed again. Letting me know that she was now gone.

I inhaled deeply and sighed. I walked over to the counter and grabbed the money, noticing it was five 20's before putting the money in my pocket.

I pulled out my phone from the other pocket while I started waking back up the stairs to grab my headphones. I opened Spotify connecting my headphones to my phone, putting them on my head and waking back down the stairs.

I retired my shoes and grabbed the spare keys left on the key hook and locked the door behind me.

I stretched for about 15 minutes before I started running.

I ran for about 30 minutes running about 5 miles since I didn't want to run too fast and tire myself out considering I wanted to shoot some hoops later as well.

I slowed down to a walk and I looked across the street noticing a very beautiful girl talking on her phone while walking her dog.

She was about my age, and shorter than my 5'9 maybe standing at 5'5/5'6 but I really couldn't tell from so far away.

She had strawberry blonde hair and tan skin that I'm sure came from her life of living in LA, though not as dark as my own skin.

I thought she was absolutely gorgeous and it made my heart skip a slight beat. I was worried that maybe she didn't like girls but I took my shot anyway by walking across the street to her.

Well here I go.

A/N
Welp here it is guys I said I'd write chapter two yesterday. I lied 😐... anyway here it is. Kinda boring again but hopefully less boring then the last chapter. It's also a bit shorter, I was going to include the next chapter in this one as well but I decided not to. I dingy want to be too long. Anyway I hope you enjoyed.
