This chapter is going to be a bit slow, but ive got to build it up. ENJOY
Everyone has those moments, those little things that absolutely bug the crap out of you. Well, this whole day has been that moment. I can't make a single move in school without someone critiquing me and what i say, do or wear. All the popular, 'special' girls always looking down on me seriously makes me want to slap someone in the face. But every day i go through like this, i know i want to change the way the world is. The order of how things go, how the ranking is. Thats why this summer is going to be my summer. I bet I've said those words a thousand times, but I'm going to make it happen. I'm going to shed off the extra 100 pounds and be the one they want to talk to, not the other way around.
CHAPTER ONE
I looked around me. No one was on my family's stretch of the beach. I laughed out loud at the text message my best froend Keke had sent me. She hadn't seen me all summer, and would never recognize me when she actually got the chance to. Megan Fox had mt her match. And doppelganger. Everything about me changed - literally. I could wear a bikinni or a super tight top without a second thought, and i could actually enjoy my bikini and the feeling of air between my thighs. Everything was going to change this year. My hair was a dark brown like it had been (Aside from my eyes, that color was the only thing that hadn't changed besiudes my name), and my skin was a dark tan. I sent Ke a new text.
ASH: So do u know wen volibal tryouts r?
KE: Yeah, theyre nxt wednesday. frst day of skool. r u gona try out?
ASH: wait til u c me:) wont know who i am
KE: I cant wait! y cant ui just send me a picture???????

ASH: MY house?
KE: Yessssssss
ASH: Kay! Bye
KE: c u 2morrow
I packed up my beach stuff and jogged up to the house, my new slim legs working effortlessly against the sand moving under my feet. "ANDY!" I yelled up at my brother.
"What?" He called out of my room.
"Get out of my room! NOW!" His friends all darted out of my room on the third floor, leaving his guitar on my balcony. I growled. My nine year old brother Andy and his friends were always nosing around in my room.
"Maman, essais de volley-ball sont mercredi prochain." Mom, volleyball tryouts are next Wednesday. I told her in French. She looked up from the salad she was finishing making.
"Bon!" She smiled. "Honey, thats amazing! Just to remind you, I'm going out to Virginia for the buisness trip for the next two weeks, so your sister is coming back in from California. She'll get here tomorrow night at, like, seven."
"Okay." I smiled, switching back to english. "Ke is coming over tomorrow at lunch to see me. Were gonna go running together."
"She's gonna be blown away." Mom kissed my forehead. "Now, I've got to take Simon and Peter home, and then I'll be on my way to the airport. Your Dad's meeting me there."
"Okay." I hugged her tight. "Love you! Have fun!"
"I'll try." She laughed and called down the boys. Andy sat down with me at the table when she left.
"So," i sighed. "What were you guys doing in my room?"
"Listening to your music." He said. "Can I borrow your old stero?"
"Sure." I shurgged. I had gotten a new one with this month's allowance. "You can keep it if you stay ou of my room without me letting you in."
"DEAL!" He lit up. He wolfed down his cesar salad and ran upstairs to get the radio. When I finished eating, I drank anothe whole glass of water and went upstairs. After watching NCIS for an hour, i fell asleep to How To Love by Lil Wayne.
When I woke up the next morning I was so nervous. I couldn't wait to see Ke and show her my new body. She had no idea how extatic I was about his. After showering, I pulled on red booty spandex and a tight white tanktop. I let my hair fall wavy around my face and put on mascara and lip gloss. I ditched the concealer and foundation, not having needed it for months. Gotta thank the Gworgia sun and ocean for the better skin, now that I wasn't afraid of the bathing suit on my closet door. I went downstairs and cut up a pineapple and a bunch of strawberries and mixed it up with some kiwi. I sat at the bar in the kitchen, waiting fo Ke.
The bell rang at exactly five after tewlve. I opened the front door. "You're late." I smiled.
"Oh my gawd!" She screamed and hugged me so tight i thought my neck was going to snap off. "You look better than...Hell, you look exactly like Megan Fox! Wait 'till the guys see you! You are going to be at the top of the food chain!"
"Yeah, until everyone realizes that I'm still Ash Kelly." I laughed.
"Nope." She shook her head. "Girl, you are fiiine!" She burst out laughing. We ran all over town and back to my house by a three mile run on the beach. My heart soared as I led her by twenty feet, and more and mmore as we kept going. My music blared in my ears, and I reached my back porch and waited for her. When she reached me, I tossed her my water bottle.
"I...need...a swim." She gasped.
"Okay." I laughed. "Let's go change." I ran up to my room and jumped into my white bikini and ran back out to the beach, bringing two towels with me. We got in and talked until the sun went down, and she left just minutes befor my sister's car pulled in.
"Here goes..." I opened the door, still wearing my bikini, but with a thin cover tied over my hips.
"Girl," She sighed. "The pictures you send me don't do you justice." She reached out, poking my stomach and the burst out laughing, hugging me tight.
"I missed you so much, Tammy!" I hugged her back, smiling. "I know Andy wants to see you." I smiled. "He's at basketball pactice." After talking a while and catching up, I went back up to my room and opened my EMail. an IM box popped up in the corner, and I clicked on it.
SEXYSPORTSBABE: sooo i saw Ke out running. y weren't u with her? u could use it.
Kim Johnson, a.k.a. queen bee of the social pyramid at Dakota Springs High, was one of my worst enemys. She had the biggest grudge against me that anyone could imagine. Her life's goal - aside from sleeping with all tha hot guys in the school - was to make my life miserable.
A: say's the girl with love handles like wings - maybe you could fly me out to the movies?
SEXYSPORTSBABE: thats really ironic, coming from u. u could give a whale a run for it's $$$
A: Just u wait. ur gonna get nocked off the court, queen D.
SEXYSPORTSBABE: no one is gonna take my crown. Esepially not the gurl with a 1/2 inch vertical.
A: :)
I closed the IM box, a grin spreading across my face. I couldn't wait until she saw me at tryouts. My vertical was 35 inches, ten more inches than her's. This blonde bubble head was about to get a rude awakening, all starting with the thing she never thought anyone could take away from her - her court.
