Chapter 3

I didn't have time to do a good edit on this, so it's not the best, but its here.

Chapter 4 (New job? New boy?)

Today we moved into the apartment, it was similar to the boys' but bigger. My mom wanted everyone to have their own rooms, and she also rented it already furnished. "Dang mom how much did this cost?" I asked.

"Not too much, but I wanted it to be nice since we are going to be staying here for a while."

"I understand." I say giving her a hug.

"And Bella I can't pay for your and Ally's clothes and extra stuff anymore, you guys need to get a job."

"How? I don't even know what side of LA are at."

"Get creative. And you are also gonna need to find a way of transportation."

"Fine. I'll get it worked out." I said annoyed. "How the hell do I get a job without a car." I thought to myself. "I'm gonna go out right now." I told my mom.

"Be back at six." I heard her say. I didn't bother bringing Ally. I wanted to be alone. I walked across the street to this huge mall. It had about every store in it, so I decided to look around. Most of the shops, I didn't recognize, they looked like stores that would only be in LA. But I stumbled upon a Hollister and decided to go in.

I went in and started looking around. It was a lot bigger then the one back home. I traveled to the back of the store and saw some clothes laying around on various tables. "This the floor model's job." I thought knowing that it was because I was a floor model in Washington. I decided to fold the clothes anyway. When I was done I heard a voice behind me.

"Hey you folded those clothes perfectly. Wanna be our floor model?" I head someone ask. It was a girl that looked a bit older then me, but not by much.

"Um." I said.

"This is a lousy way to pick out a floor model, but we are desperately in need on one and all do is greet people and fold clothes." She said.

I nodded. "Yeah I used to be a floor model back home."

"Oh, so you know what do right?"

"yeah. I guess i'll take your offer." I said pasting a smile on my face, because really it's a boring job. I didn't wanna do it again, but who knows how long it will be until I get another one.

I followed her to the front desk and she gave me an application and introduced herself as Skyler Allen. I told her my name and left to go home to fill out the application.

--

The next day I returned it and she said she would call me if I go the job. She then whispered to me. "I really like you, so I'll see what I can do." I smile back at her.

"Thanks." I gave her a hug and left. I had nothing to do today. My mom, and Ally were out trying to get jobs, Matt had school, and the boys were in the studio, So I decided to go out for lunch. I found this little caffe outside of the mall and decided on it. It had nice prices and the food was good, so I figured I could go there sometimes for lunch if I got the job. It was about 2:00 when I finished, so I took out my phone and google mapped where I was. Apparently my mom bought an apartment close to Venice beach, so I decided on a surf. "If I'm living on the California coast I better get good at surfing." I thought to myself.

I ran home changed quickly into the bikini I wore the other day, and even found my rash guard. I slipped on some shorts, a tank top, some flip flips, and my Aviators. I left my phone at home, threw my rash guard and towel over my shoulder, and grabbed my surfboard and skateboard to make the time there quicker.

I dropped off my stuff on the sand and Rushed to the warm water. I knew how to duck dive and all, so I got out to the line up fine. I was sitting on my board waiting for a wave when I heard a whistle behind me. I didn't know if it was me or not, because I had a rash guard on, so I figured it must be another girl. I kept waiting for a wave, but nothing was coming. "Great day for a surf." I thought sarcastically. I felt a tap on my shoulder and immediately turned around.

"You?! How did you recognize me?!" I yelled.

"Well you are pretty cute." He said.

"Were you stalking me?" I asked still sorta freaked out.

"No. I just surf in Venice often and I saw you so i decided to say hi." He said. I looked at him. He was the guy who whistled at me before. I recognized his Blonde-brown hair and his blue eyes that was really nice to look at.

"I don't know you." I said back.

"Okay then. Get to know me. The waves aren't good today, so coffee?"

"Na I don't drink coffee."

"Okay then smoothie?"

"Are you asking me on a date."

"Nope, just so I can get to know you."

"Fine I saw a smoothie place down by the board walk."

"Nice. By the way I'm Chase Cole."

"I'm Bella Taylor."

"Pretty name."

"Thanks." I said as we both paddled in. When we reached the sand we dried off and I took off my rash guard and exchanged it for a tank top. Then, I grabbed my skate board and held it up.

"You skate?" he asked.

"That's why I have my board. Do you?"

"Not really."

"Oh then do you want me to walk with you?"

"No it's fine."

"Okay then." I said and thew my board down and started skating to the smoothie place. "Race ya." I yelled behind my back.

"You're on." He said running after me.

I got there first and he arrived later. "You got here last, you gotta pay." I say mockingly.

"Sure I was planing to." He said. We ordered and he payed. We sat outside and looked at the ocean. It was lovely. He can hold a nice conversation, and he was nice and sweet and ignored my rude, stupid remarks. I told him about Sequin an he told me he was from Boston which explained his light accent.

"Hey we should hang out again." He said.

"Yeah. That would be cool." I said back.

"Gotta number?" He asked.

"Yep." i put my number into his phone.

"See you later?" He asked.

"That would be awesome." I said as I picked up my surfboard and skateboard and skated back home.
