The window in her room had betrayed her by allowing the morning light into her bedroom, ruining her solid hour of sleep. Hallie Adler had been restless all night, she had wide awake thoughts running through her head about the summer ahead. She had been dreading this coming summer since well last august.
Three families joined to stay at Susannah's beach house in Cousins Beach, the Fishers, the Conklins and the Adlers which happened to be the one she belonged to. They stayed there all summer and usually it was the best part of her year but this year everything was different.
There was only one person she dreaded seeing and that was Conrad Fisher, the 17-year-old boy who would always give her butterflies no matter how much heartbreak he had caused her. He used to be her best friend, no one knew Hallie as well as he did, he knew every pet peeve, every favourite she had.
The thing about their friendship was that it was easy to slip over the line into a real relationship, and that's exactly what it did almost two years ago now. He was her first everything and part of her assumed he would also be her last, she loved him in a way that she didn't know was possible.
But after their very heart wrenching break up last year, it was hard to even see his face in pictures. She didn't just lose her boyfriend, she lost her best friend and that was almost harder than saying he was her ex-boyfriend.
She was a different girl than last summer, physically and mentally.
Hallie was always an attractive girl, but her appearance had been altered. After last summer she threw herself into focusing on her volleyball career, causing her to get into a better shape than ever before, it wasn't necessarily a healthy coping mechanism but it worked.
Her muscles were more defined and grown, the braces that resided on her teeth had finally come off and bright blonde hair had faded into a diary blonde colour that complimented her eyes.
In a lot of ways spending her year alone made her mentally stronger, but she was also growing up and began to put a lot more pressure on herself. She saw the world clearer now that she wasn't living in a fairytale world with prince charming.
She sighed trying to focus on the happier memories she had on that beach, trying to push her negative thoughts until her bed sank down due to another person's weight on the mattress. Two pillows came flying at her head followed by the laughs of her younger sister and mom. "Okay, okay I'll get up." she threw her hands in surrender.
"You got one hour, kid, and looking at this floor you have about... I'd say nothing packed." Her mom, Scarlett shook her head at her eldest daughter, not surprised at her lack of organization. "I'm going to run and grab you coffee and breakfast can't have our uber driver falling asleep on the road." It was now Hallie's turn to smack her mom with a pillow as she got up and left the room. She chucked it across the room, just missing by an inch. Before Scarlett exited the door, she turned back smirking at the fact she was fast enough to dodge the pillow.
