There is a small tap on my window the sound of small peebles hitting the window. I groan climbing out of my warm bed and walk over to the window opening it and being hit in the face with exactly that. A tiny peeble.

"Ow!" I hiss rubbing my eye.

"Callie i'm coming up." I look down and see Bryce in the darkness. "Good aim." I say as he climbs through my windown. "Sorry I didn't know you were there." He laughs wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Did you honestly miss me that much to where you had to come see me at- oh look 11:30 at night." I sarcastically remark. "Uh no I wanted to come over do my nails and talk about my crushes with you." He deadpans.

I laugh at my best friend. Everyone meet Bryce Matthews the funniest, hottest boy at Colston high. We've been friends since pre-k and it hasn't changed since. I'll admit i've missed him since I've been in England.

He plops down on my bed as I close the door wondering why it is open. I flip the lamp on and sit down next to him. "So how was England?" He asks.

"I wanted to stay for the rest of my life." I answer. "It was beautiful."

"It couldn't have been absolutly perfect you didn't have me, or your brothers, or River." He says. "No it was not absolutly perfect because all of you were not there." I smile. "Whatever you're lieing." He smirks.

"Anyways. What's up with the new kids nice, mean?" I ask recalling Bryce mentioning a set of new kids last year. "Awh dude! Chance the boy he's awesome! He's adapted into our group." He smiles. "One i'm not your dude and two that's great another Bryce running around." I joke.

He rolls his eyes shoving me off the bed with a loud thud. "Bryce." I hiss standing up. There is a scratch at my door and I sigh standing up and letting my dog in. "Hey Cooper!" Bryce cooes at my golden retriever.

The dog shakes his tail in Bryce's direction and climbs onto the bed and licks his face. "I've gotta go. Mom's gonna worry." Bryce says planting his lips on my forehead. "Love you." I smile. "To the moon and beyond." He whispers climbing out of my window.

The next day I wake up wanting to swim more than anything. School starts back in a day or so and I can't wait to see everyone. I check the time and it's a quarter past ten. I get up slipping my black fringe bikini on and head down the steps and find the boys at the table eating.

I wrap my robe tightly around me and sit down next to Zayn my twin brother. "Hey." I smile. "What's up sissy?" He cooes. "I'm going for a swim. Y'all down?" I ask. They all nod and quickly finish their breakfest.

I walk out of the back door and throw my robe and towel on the chair and climbing into the pool. After a few minutes my brothers join me with three of there baseball buddies. "When did you get here?" I ask the three. "Five minutes ago?" River says looking into my eyes.

River sits down shirtless on the edge of the pool and I swim in between his legs. "Why are you not getting in?" I ask. He shrugs and I wrap my arms around his torso bracing my feet against the pool and dragging him into the water.

We collide into the cool water and the force pulls us under with him above me. We both come up sputtering water and the others laughing there heads off. River being the two year old he is splashes me with water laughing and swimming towards the wall.

"Oh no you don't!" I hiss wrapping my arms around his retreating figure. "Callie!" He groans turning around in my arms so we are facing one another. "Nope." I smile. "Cal." He says. "River." I mock. He gives me a stern look and opens his mouth but quickly closes it again.
