Pacifica's P.O.V.
"What?! I-I'm going where?!" I jumped up from my pink bed, looking to my father with an unhappy face. "I'm sorry sunshine, but if you're going to have a summer job, I want it to be somewhere safe." My father, Preston Southeast, responded. "But- How is it more safe than having a job here?!" I asked, trying to talk him out of it. "I found someone to take care of you. He's the owner of the shop you'll be working at, actually. And he has a wonderful son. You'd like him. He's very... Unique." Preston said. But I didn't want to listen. I had already had plans to get a job. But in Oregon? That doesn't sound close to being a sunny beach in California. I was going to hang out with my friends, go to the mall, and finally get a boyfriend. My friend Carleigh heard from Amy down at the coffee shop, who heard from her barber's aunt, who heard from Laila at school, who heard from me, that Cameron was going to ask me out. I can't miss that!
"It's settled. Now, go on and get packed. It's a 4 hour trip by bus, and you don't want to miss it for your first day of work." He said. Then, it hit me. "Wait. You're not coming?" I asked, surprised by this new information. "Oh pumpkin, I'd love to come with you. But- I already have a job. And If I come with you, who knows what'll happen-""Done!" Father stopped, looking at me. The second he said he wasn't coming, I got right to packing. I don't know what this summer's going to be like, but I do know one thing. No parents!!! I can't wait! I'm so excited! 12 weeks! No parents! No school! A summer job! And a chance to make new friends! Finally, something positive to look forward to this summer. Good bye Cameron, hello freedom.
*The next day*
The bus ride was bumpy, but guess what? I found gum on the bus floor! Sure, you could say it was "pre-chewed," But I like to say it was just heavily used. Anyways, my dad told me I'm going to be working in this thing called the "mystery shack." Cool, right? I wonder what it's like! Oh man! Oh man! I jolted forward on the bus as it came to a stop. "Last stop, Gravity Falls." He said. I couldn't wait any longer. I jumped out of my seat, raced to the door, and jumped off. I waved to the bus driver, though he didn't bother waving back. Who cares though? No parents. No problems. I looked ahead of me, already seeing the shack in my view. "Wow! It's so rustic!" I said, taking in its glory. Little did I know, while looking at the shack, I was in the way of 2 particularly evil twins. Literally.
