The Summer Lake House

Chapter 2

Kristen and April both headed into the silver Mercedes Benz parked in the driveway of their brick stoned home. Kristen struggled with all of the stuff in her hands. She stuck the waffle in between her lips leaving it hanging out of her mouth, while she held her iphone in one hand and her binder, and purse in the other. Kristen threw her binder and purse in the back seat and hopped in the front passenger seat. She used her phone to send Jenna a text message. Jenna was her best friend, and they had been inseparable since the age of about three. Jenna had been kinda distant lately, had found a new group of friends, ones that Kristen did not like, and thought she had the upper hand over Kristen. Her new friends were all about money, designer this, designer that, and boys after boys. Kristen cared more about her grades then her clothes, and cared more about her friends then the guys there were to date. Kristen wanted to share with Jenna though, the news of her family purchasing a beach house in Pebble Beach. Not that Kristen was bragging, but she thought this sort of thing would impress her, maybe gain her friendship back.

"Jenna, you'll never guess where we will be living this summer! Pebble Beach!! I'll explain everything soon! Meet me in the morning courtyard!" Kristen smirked at the text message pleased with herself and the words she had written. But five minutes passed of the ten minute drive to Bayside and Jenna hadn't replied. Kristen shrugged it off and figured she would just tell some of the other volleyball girls.

"Kristen! If you weren't so consumed in that little screen you would have noticed we are here!"

Kristen startled looked up from her phone to find that her car was now parked right in front of the waving american flag, and a sea of teenagers talking and laughing with their friends awaiting the first bell. Kristen spotted Jenna standing over in the courtyard by herself and hoped it was the text Kristen had sent that had her standing there.
