Light As A Feather

Chapter one:

Zoey'sP.O.V.

Summer vacation. Two words that can make a child or even a teenager jump with joy. So many things to do with such little time while the sun beats down on the outside world. It was my summer vacation and I had already done everything on my list and so far have nothing to do. I lay on my bed and stare at my ceiling, the internet had gotten boring, nothing new happening on social media, and my pet kitten even seems to be bored with me as she is curled up in a ball of gray and white snoring slightly at the foot of my bed.

See, my cat Snowball is a little brat. She is a blue point Siamese, so she has those beautiful gray ascents on her with her stunning blue eyes and white fur. She is my baby, so yea, she is going to be a spoiled little kitten. I've had her since she was a kitten when her mom had her and her litter-mates in our garage when we forgot to close it one day. We kept her because for me it was love at first sight and we gave away the others.

Anyways, I was laying on my bed in total boredom until all of a sudden my door flies open, of course making me jump about ten foot in the air but Snowball was still sound asleep. I look up from where I was and saw my best friend Dakota. Now her name may be all sweet sounding but no, she is the opposite of sweet.

She is the school bad ass, with tattoos and some piercings, and I'm the school GG. Goody goody. I always go by the rules and do all my work and she actually does do her work and tries in school but that is to get a scholarship to leave her family. Although if you try to go against her I wish you good luck. She does not take disrespect, unless it's from me of course when we are joking around.

While we were both pretty normal height for our age, she looked taller just at first glance by the way she held herself. Her actual height is five foot five though and she was curvy, like really curvy. Dakota has long brown hair that has natural reddish high lights which have always been my favorite part of her hair ever since we were little. It lays in cute waves down her back. Her eyes are green and sparkle with mischief which sometimes scares me.

I have natural raven black hair that lays pin straight to my waist. I was about one inch shorter, maybe less now because I have grown a little bit, and I wasn't as curvy as Dakota but I did have some curves. I have blue eyes, which is my favorite feature on myself. A few freckles dusted my face, making my already sweet and innocent look seem even more sweet and innocent. Like a little kid, but I'm not.

"Hey sweet cheeks, what's up?" She asked as she sat down on my bed next to me.

"Being bored. Even Snowball is done with me!" I exclaimed and pointed to the snoozing cat. I swear, she could sleep through a hurricane.

"Snowball has been done with you since day one." She said with a laugh as she reached over and picked her up, earning a small meow from the fluff ball. She set her down on her lap and snowball laid back down as Dakota pet her.

"Well thanks." I replied sarcastically.

"So do you want to hang out today? Go to the movies? The mall? Maybe break the law?" She asked with a smirk.

"The first two sure but hell to the no on the last one." I said with a laugh, knowing she was joking. She wanted that scholarship to much to just throw it away like that.

"Okay then, so do you want to go swimming Zoey?" Dakota asked.

"Sure." I answered and hopped off my bed.

I went over to my dresser and started digging through my clothes until I found my swimsuit. Once I had grabbed the two piece I took out my cover up and looked over to Grace.

"Do you have yours?" I asked.

"Nope." She said popping the 'p'.

I turned back to the dresser and took out Dakota's extra swimsuit that she always leaves at my house. I tossed it to her and went to the bathroom across the hall, letting her change in my room. Once I changed into mine I looked in the mirrior at my reflection. My bikini was actually something Dakota got me because she said I should look sexy for once and not cute. It now happens to be the only one I own because she 'lost' all my others.

It was a light blue, my favorite color and it matches my eyes nicely. There were a few decorations of just strips and one flower in the corner of the top on the left. I decided to pull my hair up and my bangs fell to frame my face while I pulled my hair up to the top of my head. Once done with that I put on my water proof mascara so I have something on and don't feel weird. I then put on my cover up, which is just a tank top and some black fabric shorts.

When I made it back to my room Dakota was still in her shirt and shorts like before, but I could see the strings from the bikini from the shirt. Looks like we had the same cover up idea.

"Ready to go?" I asked.

"You know it." She answered and set Snowball down on my bed before hopping off my bed and following me out of my room.

Once we got to the living room I saw my mom sitting on the couch watching one of her soap opera things that I have never honestly understood.

"Hey mama, do you mind if we go to the pool?" I asked.

"Not at all sweetie, you know when to be home!" She said.

"Thanks!" I exclaimed and went to the door.

"Oh and Dakota you need to stay the night soon! I miss my second daughter!" My mom exclaimed before we left the house, causing a laugh from me and Dakota. My mom has always loved her like, well like she said, a second daughter.

We headed out to the garage to get my car, because Dakota knows I won't get on that death trap she drives around, to be on our way to the pool. Finally something to do!
