I opened by eyes to sun shining through the car window. It was finally the summer I have been waiting for. I have been waiting a whole three years for this day. I was finally going to be back in my hometown. I spent the last three years in an exchange program for school, and boy was it worth it. I mean, as much as I love Spain, I am so grateful to be going home to my family. I missed them like crazy, I missed my mom's cooking, my dad's hug, and yes even my older brother Zac's mean jokes. I watched as the house's went by, I remember everyone of them, since I babysat their kids. Oh how they have grown. The Weller kids were playing in the front yard, looked like they were happy for Summer too.
I felt my nerves kicking in as my house came into view. It was still the same, white siding, a dark shade of red on the door. Wow, I missed it more than I thought. The car stopped, I don't know if I was lost in thought or what, but the cab driver opened the door for me. I thanked him, he had even got my bags out, wow I must have been thinking for awhile. After I paid him, I took a deep breath. I was about to see everyone after three years. I felt so many emotions at once, I grabbed my bags and went up the steps. I smiled at the swinging bench that was on out deck, I remembered how my dad and I used to sit on it every night drinking our favorite hot chocolate. I pushed those thoughts aside and opened the door, only I went to grab it and fell into someone.
I looked up to find my Brother. “MORGAN!” He screamed as he picked me up in a hug and spun me around. I laughed and hugged him back just as hard, taking in his scent, same as last time I saw him. I smiled at him, “Thanks for almost making me fall.” I hit his chest playfully. “Sorry, I heard someone out here and was wondering. I thought you didn't get home till tonight?” He asked with a big smile on his face. Oh I missed him so much it wasn't even funny. “Yeah, but some lady offered me her earlier flight.” I smiled again. He picked up my bags, “Come on, Mom and Dad are like freaking out.” He said leading the way.
I got inside and took everything in, nothing was different, it was so perfect like when I left. I smelled something cooking, I smelled so good, well anything was good right now, I just had a ten hour flight and four hour car ride with no food. That should be a crime right there. “My baby.” A voice snapped me back to reality. My mom hugged me, “Mom. Oh god have I missed you.” I squeezed her then pulled away. Dear lord she was crying. I knew she would do this. “Mom, why are you crying?” I asked with a giggle. “Oh baby, you have grown so much. You are beautiful.” She said making me spin in a small circle for her to look at me. “Those boy better not have tried anything with my little girl.” I turned to see my dad in the door way with a big smile. I Jumped into a hug, “I missed you too Daddy.” He kissed my head, “I know you missed us so much while you were in one of the most beautiful places in the world.” He smirked at me. “You know I missed you.” I smiled.
After we talked about how my three years were in Spain, and how their time was while I was gone, I was really starting to feel the Summer heat kick in. “Is the pool set up?” I asked my Zac. He gave me that 'Are you serious look' and laughed, “Morgan, are you for real right now. Of course we do,” wow, now I remember why I couldn't wait to go to Spain. I spit my tongue out at him and ran to my room. I threw on my bathing suite. It was white with Pink stripes on it, two piece. I walked downstairs in a towel and headed outside.
As soon as I closed the sliding door I was attacked by my two Black labs Molly and Cam. I laughed as they were so excited to see me. “Hey babies, I missed you too.” I said as I stroked their backs. I didn't see many dogs in Spain and when I did, boy were they ugly. I am glad I have my dogs back. After I got them to settle down I walked to the pool, I laid my towel out on a chair. Yes, I was just complaining how hot it was, but I wanted to tan. Even thought I had a perfect tan already, you can never have to much sun. I laid down and placed my sunglasses on and closed my eyes.
After about five minutes I heard my dogs barking, I ignored it. They always barked when someone was around, I figured it was just a jogger running past in the front. But not long after I felt someone grab me. Seconds later I was in the pool. I popped to the top and yelled, “What the hell!” I looked around only to find Josh. Yes, Josh Johnson. Josh was my brother's best friend since they were born. I hated him, ever since I was little he was mean to me and teased me. I figured since we were grown up he would get tired of it and leave me alone, but that never happened.
He jumped in, splashing me in the process. I looked around and didn't see him, oh this isn't going to be good. I felt his arms around my waist and he pulled me under. He knows how much I hate when he does this. I was pretty sure I was about to die, but he let go sending both of us up for air. I whipped my long Blonde hair out of my face. I heard him Laugh, “Miss me sweetheart?” he smirked, Boy did I want to smack it off of him. And why the hell was he calling me sweetheart, he knows I hate him with a burning passion. “What the hell Josh?” I asked pulling myself out of the pool. He didn't reply so I turned to look at him, regretting it right away. He was staring at me with wide eyes.
I quickly covered up with a towel, yeah while I was away I filled out that dumb child body I had. I had a good middle half with some abs going, my chest had finally got bigger, and I was perfectly tanned and looked great. “Close your mouth Josh.” I said with a smirk. He snapped out of it, “Three years in Spain and you look like that. Damn, I would tap that.” He says floating on his back. I rolled my eyes. Then I had an idea.
Since he was so interested in my new body and he was acting different toward me then he did when I was younger, I was going to make this one hell of a game for him. “why are you smiling at yourself freak.” I heard Josh shout at me. I looked down at him, he was leaning on the edge of the pool looking up at me. I smiled, “Wouldn't you like to know babe.” And with that I walked back into the house.
Alright Josh Johnson, you like games so much, it's time someone played against you. I smiled to myself as I changed into something dry. Josh was your typical boy in high school, he loved to get every girl he wanted, but he has never had one for more than a day. Guess you could say he was a player, me I call him a waste of space. Why my brother was friends with him is beyond me, well I guess Zac is like him in a way, not as bad but still they were alike. Only difference, Zac respected me. Anyways back to my plan, since Josh likes to mess around with girl's heads, I was going to mess with him. “MORGAN!” I heard Zac scream from downstairs.
I grabbed my phone and went down, “Why are you yelling?” I said with a laugh. He looked at me and smiled, “Someone outside for you.” He pointed. I walked out, holy crap Kass. “MORGAN!” she screamed as she jumped on me hugging me, sending both of us to the ground laughing. Kassie Maree was my best friend, I have know her since kindergarten. “Hey Kass.” I laughed getting up off the ground. “Holy crap, three years is to long.” she stopped and looked at me, “DAMN! Girl you look hot.” Yes she was one of those girls who wasn't afraid to speak her mind. I laughed and pulled her up to my room.
I sat on my bed waiting for her to walk over. “Morgan, I know that look. Tell me,” She said jumping onto the bed. I smiled, “well you know how Josh likes to mess with girls feelings. And he has been acting weird since I got home... So I was thinking, maybe I could beat him at his own game.” I said looking at her hoping she got what I was saying. She looked up at me, “You think you can make Josh Johnson want you like you want him?” she asked. I blushed, “I don't want him.” She laughed at me, “Oh please I see the way you look at him. Don't lie to me.” She said sitting up. “Alright maybe, but he is hot and you know how I get around hot guys... Anyways that isn't the point, I wanna mess with his head a little. And I need your help.” I asked with a sweet smile. “Fine, and I know just how to do it.” She grabbed my hand and we went to my closet.
