Finding Ava

Chapter 1

The sun, is beaming down on my face on this hot summer day. I was getting my last swim in before going on vacation tomorrow with my father. Every summer we find somewhere to vacation and we stay there for a week. This summer were going back to California, because I couldn't get enough of the beach. I love going to the Pier because the funnel cakes are amazing and hot boys, of course. Last time, I was there I saw this hot guy who kind of reminded me of Justin Bieber, minus all the tattoos.

After my swim I grabbed a towel off the chair and began drying myself off then wrapped it around my body. I walked into the house and saw my father sitting down in the living room, watching tv.

"What's for lunch?" I ask him.

"What do you want?" he replies with a question.

I had to think about it for a few seconds and it finally came to me.

"Zaxbys!" I shout.

"Go get dressed." he says. I run away like a little toddler upstairs to my room.

I ran over to my closet to find something to wear. The first thing I spotted was a tank top and ripped shorts. I took them off the rack and quickly put them on. My hair was still wet so I just put it in a messy bun. Before walking out of my room, I grabbed my phone and slipped into my black flip flops then ran back downstairs to meet my father.

"I'm ready!" I informed him. He stands up from the couch and grabs his keys off the kitchen counter. "Let's go." I squealed like a little baby, running out to the car.

When we arrived to Zaxbys I eagerly climbed out of the car and made my way to the entrance. As soon as we entered the aroma of chicken and fries filled my nose. My stomach growled just in time. The line was long but not like usual.

It was finally our time to order and I ordered my favorite: fruit punch, nibblerz and fries with two chocolate chip cookies on the side. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this food.

Once we finished ordering we stepped aside to let other people order and waited for our food. I prayed we didn't have to wait for long because I was so hungry, and I've had my mouth set on this for a long time. About ten minutes later the lady called us up to claim our food and I smiled to myself. My father grabbed the bag and we found somewhere to sit.

"This is going to be so good!" I squealed opening my box. There were three nibblerz, lots of fries and celery inside with some ranch. I put hand sanitizer on and prepared to devour my food.

I picked up a nibbler and stuffed my mouth. God it was so good.

"Slow down sweetie." my father tells me.

"Sorry. I'm hungry." I muffled out. I swallowed my food and took a sip of my punch.

By the time I finished my second nibbler I was becoming full. I still had lots of fries left but all of my celery was gone. Before I couldn't eat anymore I took a bite of my cookie. My mouth tingled in pleasure. It was too good.

When I was finished eating my stomach was mostly satisfied. I was full and ready to take a nap when we get back home. "Are you ready?" my father asks and I nod. We grabbed our bag and drinks and headed out the door.

During, the drive back home I took a short nap. Food always make me go into a postprandial somnolence. I was ready to get in my bed and pass out on top of it. When we arrived home my father gently shakes my arm telling me to wake up. I stretched out my arms and got out of the car.

I waited for my father to unlock the door so we can enter the house. As soon as he unlocked the door I ran inside and upstairs to my room. I bursted into my room and plopped down on my bed. My eyes quickly shut and I drifted off to sleep.
