That Summer

The new kid

Chapter 2: The new kid

Usually, during Mr Hansley's class I would sleep but today this very line caught my train of thought. I shot up in my seat and stared at Mr Hansley, willing him to continue.

Yvette snorted, " LOL girlfriend, I swear I saw your ears perk up like a bunny!"

Then, the class busted out into a string of laughter. I flushed a deep red and laid back down on the table.

I tried my best not to think about it but the dark image of a person wandered at the back of my mind.

Flashback~

The pilot announced once again that we were going to land, we stared out of the window at the beautiful dark blue sea.

The island was surrounded by a clear light-blue sea water, the sandy white beach contrasted with the dark color of the forest in the centre of the island. Thin grey lines slightly visible from this view, mini houses by those roads.

The place looked fantastic, from the beautiful coast to the hilly mountains. This was more than what I imagined.

"Welcome to Seychelles," the officer said, flashing me a warm smile.

We walked out of the immigration gates and searched in the crowds for my Uncle Donald. Soon, we found him and were on our way to his place in the mountains. We were greeted by Auntie Danielle, Dora (My cousin) and Dora's daughters, whom also was our nieces, Lena and Hilary.

Hilary was eighteen years old, Lena was sixteen years old.They were supposed to my nieces but I was younger than them! I was only fifteen years old almost sixteen, Christopher was sixteen too. IT IS POSSIBLE.

It was my first time meeting the nieces, but a small talk totally broke the ice. Dora took us out for a walk downtown, where I met Hilary’s boyfriend, Dylan. Dora left us kids alone to hang-out by ourselves and said she would come collect us in a few hours.

Downtown was nothing like what we have in the states. Even though things weren't as developed here, but it would be nice to live in a small place like this where everyone would know each other.

Hilary brought us around town and introduced us to some friends who we easily got along with. Most of their girlfriends would coo at my brother’s “hotness” and flirt with him.

“Lena, I have to go change some money.”

“Sure, Hilary will go in with you.” Hilary and I change some money at the bank, when we exited the bank some blonde dude was flirting with Lena.

I gaped at that blonde guy wearing jeans that fit loosely around his hips and a flannel shirt that showed off his muscles.

My eyes scanned his built body and when my vision finally moved back up to his face, he was staring right at me, smirking at me cockily and his amazing stormy grey eyes showed great amusement.

-end of flashback-

Once again, I shot up in my seat. No no no no.... I got to stop thinking about this, WOMAN WAKE UP.

Reality check, summer is over.

While I was having a mini breakdown, I didn't notice that the whole class was staring at me silently. I gasped in realization.

"Ringggg!" I leaped out of my seat and ran out of the class. Thank god, the bell just saved me from explanation.

While I was speed walking down the hallway, I bumped into a wall of muscles and fell flat on my butt.

Great job, Pearl. Great job.

I apologized profusely while picking up my stuff. "Pearl? Is that you?"

That familiar voice... I looked up and dropped my stuff AGAIN.

Great job once again, Pearl.

"Sam..." I mumbled shockingly, he chuckled at my lightly klutziness. He bent down and picked up my stuff, handing them back to me.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned. Wait... he can't be that...

Sam sighed and said, " my dad... Changed a job recently. Making our whole family to move down here to LA. Thank god I have you now." Oh god, he is the new kid that everyone was talking about just now.

Just as I was about to reply, a high pitched scream ensued from behind me - Yvette, " Erh Ma Gawd, girl! It is what I think this is?! Pearl, you could have just said this was what it was all about!"

I rolled my eyes and muttered, "Oh... Tell me again why am I best friends with you?"

Yvette giggled and replied, "You love me! Soooo I'm taking this isn't what's going on."

Sam stared at our antics amusingly and then asked, "What's going on?"

"Yvette --"

"Something about her summer!" Yvette yapped away before I could stop her. The smile on Sam's face faltered and he mumbled a mono-toneless "oh".
