Jack Myer, a 17-year-old girl heading off to college. she has a twin sister Jea, who will be coming in the year after her. Jack got into College when she was 15 but was in an accident with her boyfriend at the time and fell into a coma for two years...
"so, you want to do something today seeing as classes start tomorrow?" I ask Jea though my laptop screen.
"yes! I love the beach and it's been way too long since we were last there" she replies a smile taking over her lips. the door to the kitchen open ad Jonah pokes his head through the door.
"you wanna hang with the boys and I today?" he asks
"Nah, I'm spending the day with my sister" I reply
"okay, just text me if you change your mind," he says and closes the door
"who was that?" Jea asks
"one of my roommates offering for me to hang with them and their mates," I say, and no, I haven't told her that I'm rooming with 3 guys.
"Okay, well as long as you socialise a bit, I'll be around in about 30 minutes"
"oaky bye" shut my laptop and change into my bikini I have matched with Jea and thrown on a pair of jean shorts and a grey top over that. I put a towel, my phone, my purse, my key and some sunscreen in a bag before slipping on my thongs (Australia thongs, may be known as flipflops in America).
I walk down the halls and wait out the front of Campose for my sister. she pulled up and honked the horn, I rolled my eyes and got into the car putting my bag at my feet. "was that really necessary?" I ask
"yes, it was definitely necessary" she replies pulling back onto the road. I rolled my eyes with a smile and sunk back into the car seat.
"so how's Kyle?" I ask starting a conversation
"he's good, he's working all day" she replies, "now enough about me. how has Collage been so far?" she asks
"well after you left I did nothing until my roommate came and I was forced to socialise. yesterday I woke up first, I cut myself shaving, I got Starbuck for me and two of my roommate and came back and some of the friends were over so I was forced to socialise again." I explain
"well at least your being social, this is good for you Jacks," she says as she pulls into a park at the beach.
"but I don't like to socialise," I say getting out of the car.
"it's college Jack, you need to make friends"
"no, I'm perfectly fine living in my cocoon and only talking to my roommates when I am forced to"
"want a burger?" she asks as we walk into the food shake
"yep, I need some fat in me," I say patting my stomach. let me tell you a bit about my schooling life; I was bullied as the smart kid. the girl how went to high school in grade five and was the top of the year 12 class when she was supposed to be in year 9. not only that but I was really skinny and called anorexic and it was assumed that I starved myself and threw up anything I ate. I was just active and adventurous with a small appetite, I never ate much and never got the right nutrition.
now I have a bit more meat on me but I still don't eat much. I have not gotten enough nutrition and I don't drink enough water, this happened before and after my accident. sometimes it gets really bad, it's my own fault, and I faint, pass out for a couple of hours or days. I'm hoping to change my ways in college. who am I kidding? I like who I am and don't want to change.
we walk along the beach and placed our stuff by the rocks so we would eat our food and tan a bit. laid out our towels and striped to our bathing suits as well as sliding on sunnies. we bathing suits are similar but mine has a bit of blue in it with her's doesn't.

Jea and I didn't talk, just listening to the surrounding. the waves crash on the shore, kids scream, the chatter and laugher about teenagers and adults, people splashing in the water, dogs barking. it's all so relaxing with the light breeze fanning over my body and the sun beaming down on me. the soft sand underneath me, moulding to my body shape under my soft, fluffy beach towel.
my peaceful relaxed state was broken when I heard someone yell "heads!" and a pain in my stomach.
cliffhanger for you, sorry not sorry. publishing in school again, it's lunch and I'm sitting with my friends, it's rather funny. I wonder who yelled that...
