Chapter 3
Finally! Everything is unpacked!
After that full hour of unpacking I decide I should take a walk and meet some people.
I throw on my navy blue bandue, hot pink shorts, and my favorite pair of converse. I let my hair flow down my back and grab my phone and sunglasses before heading down stairs.
"Hey Jen, is it ok if I go take a look around?" I ask when I see her sitting at the counter in the kitchen.
"Sure Cacia, here's some money just in case." she says handing me a twenty dollar bill.
"Thanks! See ya later!" I say as I walk out the door.
I grab my long board and start rolling along the boardwalk. I pass many people but all of them seem so quite and shy, that's not my type of people. I like to be friends with people who are loud, not shy at all, and take risks. I mean I'm not that delinquent child who doesn't care about anything and disobeys their parents all the time but I like to have fun.
As I'm riding I come up to a Hollister and picking up my board decide to go in.
"Hey I'm Ryan, welcome to Hollister!" I tan guy with board shirts and a muscle tee says as I walk in.
"Hey!" I say casually as I continue walking in the store.
As I'm walking towards the back I see a bathing suit that is absolutely perfect! It's my favorite Tiffany Blue with the Hollister bird all over it.
I quickly find my size seeing that it's on sale for only 15 dollars then take it to the register.
"Just this for today?" the same guy from the front of the store asks holding up the suit.
"Yup that's it!" I say.
"So who are you? I haven't seen you around here." he says handing me my bag.
"Ya, you haven't. My names Acacia and I'm here for the summer." I say smiling at him.
"I'm Ryan." he smiles and let me tell you, his smile is drop dead gorgeous.
"Hey umm... We are hiring here and I'm sure I could get you a job no problem. You interested? You have the perfect look."
"Wow thanks! Yeah sure I'll work here!" I say smiling big.
"Great! Just a few rules. When you are working you can only wear our clothes, no other brand unless it's regular flip flops or something." he says relaxed.
"Ok cool!"
"So are you free to work tomorrow?"
"Yup" I say popping the "p"
"Great! Well, my shift ends now so how about I show you around and introduce you to a few people?" he asks looking down at me.
"Uh yeah, that'd be great!" I respond following him out the store.

"And Acacia this is my girlfriend Taylor." he says gesturing to the short and may I add very fake, blonde.
"Hi!" she squeaks in her high pitched voice.
Well great. Not only does this extremely hot guy have a girlfriend but she just so happens to be a complete Barbie.
"Oh, and this" he says pointing to someone walking towards us "is my best friend Jake." he pats his shoulder once he is standing a few feet in front of me.
"Hey" I say but he just nods back.
Ok forget about Ryan, Jake is HOT! I'm not a person to be attracted to someone just because of their looks but let's face it, that's how you first meet someone. You think they are hot, then you start talking to them and get to know them.
"Wow! You long board too?" Ryan says just now noticing the board in my hand.
"Yeah. I love it!"
"Me too! Your board is awesome!" he says gesturing to my board which on the bottom is tie dye and has the words 'Stay Weird' written on it and Tiffany blue wheels.
"Thanks! I say setting it down and riding slowly along side of the three.
"Jake and I long board all the time. There's this place that deserted and it has tons of hills and it's just perfect for boarding we should go tomorrow after work!" Ryan says to me and Jake.
"Yeah sure!" I say them look over to Jake.
"I don't care, if you want me to go then I guess I will." he says mostly to Ryan.
"Yeah, we need to show the rookie how it's done." Ryan says getting excited.
