(Emma)
"Hey Emma!" My mom yelled through the house.
"Yeah mom?" I replied. I look up to my mom, she is beautiful, caring, smart, intuitive and just everything that I have always wanted to be. I have never said one unkind thing about my mother because I love her.
"Oh, look at you!" My mom said in awe.
I was wearing short-shorts with black flip-flops and a summer tank-top over my swimsuit, because if anything, I was always prepared to go swimming. I am average height and thin but muscular. Don't take me as self-centered, I just care for my body.
"What do you want mom?" I ask anxiously, because I was in a hurry to go hang out with my best friends: Rachel, Amanda, Brittoni and Kaycee.
My mom smiled softly and affectionately kissed me on the forehead. "David just came over. He said that his nephew is going to be staying with him and Nancy for the time being. Because his nephew's parents passed away. But he doesn't know this area. And he would like someone to hang out with. Or maybe five teenage girls to hang out with?"
"And why do I have to do this? Is it like a charity case or something? I'll only do it if I can swim and not be creeped out by him."
"Because he is your age, and he has absolutely no friends here. He needs someone to show him around and give him a good rest of the summer after what happened to his parents. Poor kid."
"Now that I think about it, mom, I will show him around. After all that he has been through, I mean, that's what I would want someone to do for me."
"That's who I raised you to be. Thank you, Emma. You are such a wonderful person. I love you so much."
"I love you too, mom! You're welcome! I just hope he isn't creepy, because I don't feel like kicking his butt. You know that I can. I'm going to meet up with the girls and have them meet him as well."
"Yes, I know you could kick his butt. And that sounds like a great idea. The more people he meets, maybe he will not feel as alone as David told me he is feeling."
"What's his name anyway?"
"Ethan. Ethan Jones."
"I like that name. Ethan."
"Me too."
Just then I got a text from Kaycee saying that her, Brittoni, Rachel, and Amanda are being dropped off at our favorite cafe down the road from my house. With a quick "bye" to my mom, I head out the door to meet my friends.
