After spending 2 years recovering from a big surgery Tristan Prentice was determined to have the best summer ever with the Fishers and the Conkin's. One of her many goals this summer is too finally tell her crush how she feels, she's been in love wi...
After what felt like a hour long speech from the director and getting some orders from him I was finally free to go my mom was outside I hopped into the car and off to went to meet the Conkins at the gas station.I was listening to a great song that was on the radio while texting Belly asking how far away they were from the gas station i just wanted to see her already I didn't even realized I was singing out loud until the radio was switched off "Hey I was listening to that" " yeah well T you were also making my ears bleed to a really good song" my mum replied I rolled my eyes and looked at my phone smiling "let me guess it's either Belly, Conrad or Jeremiah?" She asked I looked over at her

"Jeremiah just texted an adorable selfie I don't know how to reply though" I answer trying to change the subject. Then I started singing again and that made my mum really angry " sweetie this year is different alright I want you to behave and spend time with susannah" "mum I always do you know that what's wrong" I replied confused at her request "nothing it's just I'm not going to be there this year and I know she sees you as a daughter" my mum said this with a concerning tone "also this means no staying out too late or drinking too much I want you to not go anywhere with strange boys" "don't worry mum I'll probably just stay with Belly the whole time besides I never drink and as for strange boys we both know Jeremiah is not going to let me out of his sight" "oh yeah I know that boy is so crazy about you I have feeling this year it's finally going to happen" "not with my luck" I mumbled "what was that?" My mum asked "nothing are we at the gas station yet?" I asked she sighted "another 20 minutes" I texted Belly and they were 20 minutes away also perfect. Finally we arrived at the gas station and immediately saw the Conklins car I began smiling big when I saw Belly get out OMG she looked amazing she turned and we locked eyes we both scream "HAAA" I unbuckled my seatbelt and pushed my door open so fast I jumped out of the car and bolted over to her she too ran over to me and crushed each other into a hug "BELLY" I screamed "TRISTAN" she screamed back and we squeezed each other tightly I could already feel and know that this summer is going to be great finally we released each other and I was pulled into strong arms "hello Steven" I say to Belly's older brother "oh I only get hello Steven I see who your favourite is" he said I giggled and hugged him Steven was the brother I never had. "Wow Steven you gotten taller" I tease Belly laughs he rolls his eyes "and you have gotten prettier so now I'm going to have to keep an eye on you and Belly this summer wonderful" he said Belly rolled her eyes and hugged me again "the only person you need to watch is Jeremiah he's going to go crazy when he sees her" she said I felt my cheeks turn red Steven groaned "come on let's go inside and pick up your favourite treat" Belly said taking my hand and dragging me into the gas station she walked over to the chips and I walked over to the fridges and grabbed a ice tea "woah ice tea usually you grab chocolate milk" a voice said I turned around it was Laurel "oh I can't drink a lot of milk anymore gives me a stomach ache" I say she smiles and grabs my hands "wow things really have changed" she said I smiled Laurel was also like a mother to me both her and Susannah have cared and treated me like a daughter as I walked over to the check out I saw Belly talking to the cashier who was kind of cute but not really and it looked like Belly was flirting since when does she flirt with random guys? "thought I knew every pretty girls in cousins. I guess I don't know one of them." "coming to the bonfire tonight? first of the season""uh, maybe!" Belly says "come. I'll introduce you and your friend to some of my friends." Laurel comes up behind Belly with my ice tea she offered to buy it for me "after we get settled do you two want to go to whale of a tale with me? so i can pre-sign stock before the signing tomorrow night?" "remember how you two used to sit on my lap when I did signings there? you guys drew a little whale on every book I signed." "No, I don't remember that." Belly chuckles and I giggle her mom is totally embarrassing her right now. "yea, I don't remember that either" I say trying to save Belly from total embarrassment. The cashier hands the card to Belly "I'll take that thank you" Laurel snatches it out of his hand."I'll see you guys later." the cashier says while me and Belly walk out "what's later?" Laurel asks "nothing." me and Belly say at the same time. I looked in my little pocket mirror and fixed my hair and put a little lipgloss on. I looked at Belly doing the same thing we're just friends but sometimes I believe we're twins we always have the same thoughts, she wants to look good for Conrad and I want to look good for Jeremiah I couldn't before with my mom cause she would say I didn't need to do all that to impress a boy so good thing she dropped me off with them and went back home yes she's not joining the summer fun this year I'll explain later. cousins smells exactly the same. like its been waiting for me to get here. "We're hereeee" Steven sang as he pulled into the driveway of the fisher's. the first thing I saw was Jeremiah running out of the door with the biggest smile on his face. You hardly ever see him not smiling.When he sees me, he pauses and takes me in, while I do the same. he looks so much more handsome in person than over FaceTime I could already feel the blush forming on my cheeks he takes 2 big steps towards me and lifts me up in a hug, spinning me around about 3 times I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck. "jere! put me down I'm getting dizzy" I laughed and he did. he kept his hands on my arms and just stared at me. "your looking even more beautiful" he spoke.
