I am in my step sister Melanies room stareing at the clock, summer. Why do poeple look forward to summer vacation at all besides for the sleep? Summer to me was like a blank page of nothingness. I looked up to my sisters brown curly hair that was covering part of her thick lashed dark eyes. A single bead of sweat rode down to the peak of her nose. It was early June, and the hottest one in years.
I got up suddenly not able to stand the nothingness anymore, and grabbed my cellphone. I gave a quick glance in the mirror meeting eyes with the blond, blue eyed girl that was me. Why did my hair have to be so uncooperative? With a sigh, I headed down the stairs that led to the living room." I'll be back!" I shouted and rushed out the door. My dad gave a grunt as a reply, not turning from the bright computer screen.
As I jogged down the row of houses that still seemed new to me, even after a year of living here in San Fransisco. I didn't stop jogging until i was about a half mile from the beach. As I expected, he was already there. Waiting by an old rusty telephone booth that could no longer be used. I meet with his eyes that were the pretty light brown as he flashed me that dorky grin of his. Jonah. He was my only brother. He flung his dark hair to the left as his bangs swished in the air. " Race you there". I said with a taunting grin. Not waiting for a response i flew from my stance. I could sense him behind me. Even though he was only 13 , and 2 years younger than me, didn't mean he couldn't run just as well as me. All I could hear was the tapping sound of my feet below, hitting the sand and my heart pounding like a drum.
Jonah beat me as usual. We both splashed in the ice cold water. He gave me a playful smile.I knew that just because I was girl ,didn't mean he wouldn't wrestle me. Unexpectedly, he pushed me face down into the water. Once he let me breach the surface I caught my breath and gave him glare. He knew what that meant and started splashing like a duck trying to get away as fast as he could in the waist deep water. I slammed into him and we both hit into the incoming wave.We were both to old for this kind of thing but we didn't care. We went on like this until i saw the sun coming down then raced him back home, Late as usual.
I woke up the next morning early. I laid there a while listening for any movement in the house, but after hearing none i walked into the bathroom and took a shower. Still no sign of life. I stalked into Melanie's room and shoved her from her bed. She just laid on the floor lifelessly. I shoved her a few times than finally gave up, went back onto he bathroom and walked silently back into her room. I shot her in the face with a cup of icy water! I laughed so hard i fell onto the ground next to her " i swear I'm going to kill you!" she roared, trying to hit me. I dogded it easily but i couldn't stop laughing! " love you to." I mocked and walked smiling to myself as i left the room. Everyone in the house heard her screaming and quickly arose from there beds. They poked their heads out of their doors and looked at me as to question, what happened? i just replied with a grin.
I walked down to the beach with Melanie since Jonah was out with his friends at some baseball game. "Are you seriously still mad about this morning?" I said. She just looked away from me pretending not to hear. " Fine. I guess i'll just have to do it again since you seem to have forgotten" i murmured. i saw her eyes dart quickly to my face to see if i was serious. then with more confidence retorted "why, because you have nothing else to do". she laid her blanket on the warm sand next to a boys volleyball game going on. " Whatever" I replied as I set mine down next to hers and we both laid down, dropping the subject. Looking over at the boys in the game I immediently recognized some. I spotted Ricky: Melanie's boyfriend, hector: the schools biggest goof, Samuel: the worlds biggest flirt, and then Zeke: who everybody swore we'd be the cutest couple.
Melanie nudged my arm noticing where my eyes had trailed to. " You like?" she laughed. " Oh, like your not enjoying your own personal view". i sneered. Just then Ricky saw us and waved to Melanie who was oblivious with her eyes closed. He jogged over to us. "Hey Micky, Abbie" he greeted us, and Melanie's eyes flew open. " Hey" me and Melanie replied simultaneously. " Heard Jo was out" Ricky said. Our brother and him hung out a lot, even though Jonah was four years younger than him. " Yeah out with his friends i think" my sister replied with a grin. " You guys want to go in for a dip" he asked "Kay" Melanie replied as she stood up. " Abbie? you coming" she asked. " I think I'll stay here for now". I said content in the warm glow of the new afternoon sun. The couple took off, hand in hand and splashed into the shimmering water.
I'd always envied my step sister. The way her brown curles fell perfectly to her shoulders. How she walked so gracefully here and there. Her dark brown eyes framed with a set of lashes so thick you'd think they were fake. And here i was, with light blue eyes everybody complimented.( ugh i hated that.) thin, strait blond hair down to my back that I could never get to look the way i wanted it to. But worst of all, clumsy. I would get bruises every where! half the time I didn't even know where they came from. Lost in thought, i hadn't noticed that Samuel had left the game and was standing over me, his muscular body blocking the suns hot rays from touching my skin. He looked hot, and he knew it too. He chuckled as he caught my stare ,his hazel catlike eyes getting my attention now. I felt the blood rush to my face." um h-hhey Sam" i stuttered with an apologetic smile. "hey" he replied with a chuckle. I didn't reply and just tried to keep my gaze from running over his six pack again. breaking the silence he said " Its not my fault you cant resist me ABIGAIL!" he knew i hated being called that. " In your dreams SAMUEL!" I retorted. " Ha whatever" he dismissed. " So whats up" i asked knowing that he wouldn't just come over to say hi. " well I'm having a party next Monday since my parents will be out and i was wondering if u guys would like to go" he said turning his head. i followed his gaze and saw that my sister and Ricky had returned from there swim. " sounds fun, you know ill be there" replied Ricky " I'll go" Melanie said her eyes locked on Ricky's face. " i guess ill go,there's nothing else to do" I said. " great!" replied Sam. " Oh, there's Rebbecca and Steve. I'll see if they'll want to go." he said as he raced to the snack bar where Rebbecca and Steve sat sharing a drink of some kind. Ricky went with him and me and Melanie relaxed in the sun once more.
I don't know how long I was laying there but I could feel some stiffness in my arms from being in the same position for a while. I sat up a streched out my legs and arms. Then I saw out of the corner of my eye Samuel getting punched! A second later I heard the sound of fist hitting skin and saw the blood that was now streaming from his nose!
