Vampire beach 1 Bloodlust chapter 1

Malibu.

Jason Freeman took a deep breath of fresh Cali air. He LIVED in Malibu now. This was him driving his VW beetle down the Pacific Coast Highway. The thought was as blinding as the sun on the ocean, as dazzling as the white sand streaching streaching out along side the car - RIGHT alongside the car. He could pull over and be down there in -

"How insane is that house?"

Jason reluctantly dragged his gaze away from the ... the MALIBU, and glanced at the house his sister, Danielle, was pointing to. She'd pulled her sunglasses down for a better look, and her grey eyes were wide with curiosity.

"It has a tennis court!" she declared "And I bet that glass dome is for an indoor swimming pool. They don't let you see much, do they? All those trellises and flowers." Dani glanced over her shoulder as they drove by trying to eye-TiVo every deatail. "That new job of Dad's, the un-pass-by-able job, the one I had to leave all my friends for? It pays a gazillion dollars. Ehy arn't we living in a place like that?"

"Places lime that cost multiple gazillions," Jason told her "Besides we have a pool at the new new house."

"An outdoor pool," Dani complained. But Jason could hear a hint of amusment in her voice. The idea of complaining about anuthing in this city was ridiculous.

"Don't knock the pool. 'It's a lovely kidney shape with colored tile deatailing,'" Jason said, quoting the real estate agent with a wiry smile.

Dani ajusted her Oliver Peoples sunglasses that had been a gift from their aunt Bianca: the aunt who -aside from having impecable fasion sense- has also first mentioned the job to their dad and helped find their new house.

"True. But the pool can't make up for being dragged halfway across the country two weeks before junior year" Dani said flatly.

Jason sighed. He knew the leaving-all-friends-part of the situation was hard on Dani. She'd had atleast thirty 'bestfriends' back in Michigan and she didn't want to part with any of them.

"Hey I heard of a guy. alled the Surf Rabi" He said trying to get Dani's mind off her homesickness. "He's a acuall Rabi, He's all about giving you're self over to the water, he's very spirituall. He teach in Malibu.

"Hmm" Dani managed.

Jason shot another look out to the water and the surfers already out in the water. Sweet. He couldn't wait to get out there but first he had to visit the Rabi, considering he has never been on a board.

The lifegaurd station with there long wooden legs reminded Jason of another thing he had to do. He had to find out where to apply for a job as a guard. That was seriously on his top ten list of things to do now that he was living in Cali., right after joining a gym. He figured he had a decent shot at getting the job seeing as he was on the swim team back home and he had already taken a life saving course.

"Jeans!" Dani exclaimed as they neared tbe school gates.

"Huh?" Jason queried

"I have to change," Dani said, as if that was actually an explanition

Jason raised his eyebrows. She rushed on "Those girls we just passed were wearing jeans. Designer jeans, I'm not dressed right!" She shook her chin-lengh aburn hair flying around her face. "And I'm in a skirt! I'm not dressed right."

Jaso. sighed. "We don't have time for you to go back and change. We just got here. Besides youre wearing is fine." Jason asured her.

Danielle pulled out a brush and whipped it through her hair "It's diffrrnt for you. You're a guy. You have the vintage bug. You have the blonde hair blue eye combo. You look like Chad Michael Murry and... somebidy not so WB. Nobodys going to care about what you are wearing."
