Chapter Four// "Meet and Greet"
Recap
It's ok," I squeak. "Can I ask you something?". His head popped up. "Who are you exactly?". Once the question left my lips his whole demeanor changed. His eyes flashed hurt, anger and sadness. He looked at me and put on a fake smile.
"I'm Grant," He held out his hand and I shook it.
"I'm Bo," I told him my name even though he already knew it.

Bo Addams
It was awkward for me right now. Grant and I were sitting in the large kitchen. In silence.
.
"Sooo... you excited for this summer?" He asked breaking the awkward silence.
.
"Yea, I have seen Claire and Daniel in a long time. By the way how to you know them?" I asked. He sighed.
.
"It a long story,". He look at me. I glanced down at my watch.
.
"I've got time,". I resorted. He chuckled.
.
"Okay then, my dad, your dad and your uncle were best friends their whole lives, still are. In high school they met my mom, your mom and your aunt, who were best friends. And they all clicked. A few years later I popped out then Claire and Daniel, and later my little brother, Colton popped out. It's all one big happy circle,". He paused. "And you and I were-".
.
"Hello!" A voiced shouted. Our heads whipped around. "Grant come on-". Claire came around the corner and saw me she dropped her bags and ran towards me. She tackled me with a hug.
.
"Bo!" She screamed.
.
"Claire!" I shouted back. We laughed and hugged each other tighter. We let go of each other. I got a good glimpse of her. She looked more... mature more feminine. Then again the last time I saw her I was fourteen, now I'm sixteen, turning seventeen in a few days. I look at Claire, somewhat curly brown hair, hazel eyes, cute little nose, and a big smile.
.
"It's so good to see you! You look so good!" Claire said.
.
"Hey!". A new voice cut in. "Why do you get to hog Bo?!". Daniel. I smiled.
.
"Daniel,". I greeted.
.
"Bo," He greeted back in the same tone. I laughed and pulled him into a hug. He looked good, spiked up brown hair, same hazel eyes as his twin. About 6 foot.
.
"You look so good! Did you lose weight?". I teased.
.
"Ha ha. No. I've gain weight thank you very much," He flexed his bicep. I squinted my eyes and leaned in close.
.
"What am I looking at?" I joked. He gasped.
.
"Damn, girl, high school must have changed you,". He faked dramatically.
.
"Well I think she's the same, smart and witty," Another voice cut in.
.
"Aunt Anna, you look great... and blonde?" She's naturally a brunette.
.
"Well, I'm trying something new," She admitted.
.
"Well ok,". I smiled. Last time I saw Aunt Anna she was a brunette. I remember she had a short hair, with its dark brown color and natural highlights. When I was there she would ask me if she could do my hair cause Claire has a soft head and I have hard head and thicker hair.
.
"You've gotten so tall the last time I saw you!" She looked me up and down with a smile plastered in her face. "And so much like like Christina!". (Referring to my mom). I looked behind Aunt Anna to see a blond chick, an awkward I looked at Aunt Anna with confusion. Before she could utter a word Claire cut in.
.
"Uh, Bo. This is Taylor, my best friend from school, Taylor this is Bo my cousin," She explained. She looked vaguely familiar. Her curled blond hair framed her tanned, freckled face. Her blue eyes looked at mine.
.
"Bo?". She tested my name on her tongue. "Bo! Yeah I remember you wee at Claire's house the summer of Freshman year, now I remember,". Satisfaction played on her face.
.
I searched my mind for the memory, the more I think about the more I remember. It was the year I my accident, about three months after I had been in the hospital. I had just turned 15, in the middle of June, it was now the middle of July when I met Taylor.
.
Claire and I were upstairs in her room taking about all the embarrassing moments that happened to her in freshman year, and hope she'll have some fun in her sophomore year which started in a few days. A ding dong echoed though out the house. A few moment later Aunt Anna called.
.
"Claire! Someone's here to see you!". Aunt Anna voice rang. Our heads perked up, we both shared a look of confusion. She shrugged. Claire started to walk out of the room, and I followed her. I wondered who was here. Down the steps and turning the corner. There's a girl about out age.
Her curly, frizzy hair stuck out in all directions. Her blue/ grey eyes framed by thick, colorful rimmed glasses. Braces covered her teeth. She wore a stripped short sleeve shirt, and finger tip length short. One word scream off her: dork.
.
"Oh, your here! Come on we have a lot of work to do,". Claire grabbed her arm and started to drag her off. I silently followed them back around the corner and up the stairs. We went back in Claire's room and she slammed the door.
.
"Woah.. I love your room,". The girl said looking around in awe.
.
"Thanks!". Claire said fishing out something in the bathroom. She came out with a big makeup bag, curling irons if all sizes, and wax strips.
.
"Thanks again for doing this, I really owe you one,". She says.
.
"Your welcome and this benefits the both of us, you get a better image and the bitches will stop making fun of you, and we'll show them how we roll and get back at them, plus make over are my every thing,". Claire said.
.
"Okay...". She trailed examining her work. "First off, only jeans or shorts, no finger tip,". The girl nodded. She look at me and her head twisted in confusion. "Umm... who's this?" She asked, pointing at me. Claire's eyes flashed at me
.
"Oh, god, I'm sorry I forgot, my bad,". "Bo, this is Taylor, Taylor this is my cousin Bo," Claire introduced us. I gave a soft smile and she smiled back.
.
"It's nice to meet you," She said breaking the silence.
.
"You too," I whispered. A few hours later Claire finished and Taylor didn't even recognize herself, she looked stunning. Like a teenage model. Claire gave her clothes for the first day and showed Taylor how to do her hair and make up. I really liked Taylor after about an hour I finally kind of opened up to her, she was a sweet girl.
(Back to reality)
.
"Oh yeah I think I remember now! Your the one that Taylor gave a make over to, right?".
.
"Yep that's me," She smiled.
.
"Oh my gosh I didn't even recognize you, you look so good!" I said, she started to flush a little.
.
Claire came over to us and said: "This is gonna be a fun summer," She said with mischievous smirk. Someone cleared there throat, our heads whipped around to see Grant scratching his neck nervously.
.
"Oh Bo! This is Grant, he's a really close friend of ours and your parents as well," Aunt Anna smiled.
.
"Hey, it's nice to se- meet you," He corrected himself.
.
"You too," I forced out. He held out his hand and I shook it, I felt a piece of paper being forced into my hand. I let go and took the part along with me .
.
"Okay, now that introductions are over, it time to unload groceries," Aunt Anna said. A chorus of groans bounced off all of us, even Uncle James. Earning him a light hit in the stomach from Aunt Anna, he laughed and pulled her close to him and leaned down and kissed her. Everyone gagged.
.
"Hey, if y'all don't shut I'm gonna make you unload them by yourselves," Uncle James warned. I laughed. Everyone headed to the car to unload groceries. I slowed down and went back into the kitchen.
.
My shaky hands trembled to open the note. Why the hell would he leave a note ?! I skimmed over the note.
.
I'm sorry for scaring you, I promise I'll make it up to you... Eventually ;)
.
For some reason I was excited to see what was going to happen.
