Chapter 1

I had always been a very driven, focused girl, and this next challenge in my life was not going to be an exception in accomplishing what I wanted. I was not beautiful; mildly pretty at best I thought, but I did have nice full breasts that I considered my saving grace. I was popular, but only because I was funny and sarcastic, not because I was cheerleader, homecoming, or make-out material. I was however o.k. with that because it was not how you started, rather, how you finished.

**************************************************************************

Caleb was at our house again hanging out with my brother Skylar. They were both Seniors in High School getting ready to graduate in a couple of hours and all they could talk about was the graduation party and how this was going to be there best summer ever. “Cali, aren’t you excited that I am going to be your roomy for a month,” Caleb said laughing. “By the way I don’t like bed hogs, so if you’re that “type” you better learn to make room for me in your bed.”  My brother just smirked, giggled, and rolled his eyes. Caleb on the other hand laughed obnoxiously like diarrhea was coming out of his mouth.

I turned my attention to Caleb with daggers in my eyes and spat out, “Wow Caleb, YOU (I emphasized) are actually talking to me? For 3 years you have been coming to our house and have subjected me to your countless stories of sexual conquests, (as you call them,) pregnancy scare, (or is that scares, plural?) not to mention your slutty taste in girls that have infected our living room couch. You have nerve to think that I would ever let you in my bed!”

“Damn girl! Snap,” said Skylar in his best Chris Rock impersonation. “I think she told you Caleb.” As my brother laughed hysterically, I walked passed them climbing the stairs to my room. I closed the door, took a deep breath and smiled. I did show Caleb! How dare he! For 3 years now I was like paint drying on a wall to him, and those are the first words he says to me. That’s not how I imagined our first time together, I mean talking together. Hee, Hee!

The truth is you had to be dead not to notice how good looking Caleb Benzy was. Your stereotypical tall, dark and handsome. He has black hair, blue eyes, was a tall drink of water and of course he was a super star at every sport. I am sure if our school offered ping pong that he would be a champion in that too.

I had to brace myself however, because this tall drink of water was going to be staying at our house for a month or so this summer. Our parents and his parents  are best friends and they were joining two other couples on a month long European cruise to god knows how many countries, and once the cruise was over they were extending their stay at one of the couples country homes in Cognac, France.

They had only been talking about this trip for 2 years and the time had finally come after the boy’s graduation. Caleb and Skylar managed to convince both sets of parents to let Caleb stay here because they were doing construction at Caleb’s house the whole summer and it would be best if Caleb was not in the construction zone, blah, blah, blah. Who were they kidding? I saw right through them and honestly I think my parents and Caleb’s parents did too but they were too excited about their trip to care.

Thank God that school was done with because all I could think about was my plan. I would come back a Senior as a new and improved Cali. I had a work out plan already typed out and I was going to follow it to a T. I didn’t believe in diets but I was going to semi watch what I ate. I was not skinny, but I was borderline thick. I think having full breasts made me look bigger than I was. My goal was to lose at least 10 pounds and I would be happy with that. I primarily wanted to stick to a work out plan so that I could tone and gain muscle; primarily I wanted a flat stomach and if I got anything remote to a 6 pack I would be one happy camper. That was my little secret, and what I was striving for.
