Hot Summer Nights

Prologue

"Are you seriously bringing that?" my best friend Kyleigh groans as she looks at my blue hoodie in disgust as she lays on my bed. "Of course I am, you never know what the weathers going to be like" I say as I stuff my hoodie into my backpack. Kyleigh rolls her eyes, "we're going to a beach resort in the south of France Iz, I doubt there's going to be any other weather other then sun and sunnier."

This summer my parents decided we should do what most wealthy people do and spend our summer at some ridiculously expensive resort. We're going to some fancy resort in France, which name i can't remember. Thankfully I was able to convince my parents to let Kyleigh come with us for the summer because I don't know how I could survive this without her. She's been my best friend since we were 11 and we pretty much do everything together. All though this is the first trip we've taken together minus any school trips. I love travelling but I've never been the biggest fan of flying so I usually just put my headphones in and try not to concentrate. With that reminder I grab my headphones and put them in the smallest pocket of my backpack, then I sit down on my bed while Kyleigh flops down next to me. "What time's the flight again" she asks, "I've told you twice now dummy" I jokingly rolling my eyes at her, "we leave for the airport at 4:00 and our flight leaves at 7:00 am." She punches me softly in the arm and sits up, "I have been looking forward to this since your parents dropped the bomb on us at Christmas, I am so ready to have the summer of the lifetime." I sigh and lie down next to her, "I don't know, I've never been the biggest fan of the beach or the ocean" I don't mean to sound bitter but going to a huge fancy resort and doing nothing but laying around in the sun and eating fancy meals has never been something I've found enjoyable. I like having something to do, I've never been good at relaxing I always need something to do. "Oh come on" Kyleigh says tearing me from my thoughts, "were going to have so much fun this summer we're going to swim, eat weird and fancy food and stay in a huge five star resort and maybe even meet some hot French guys." I roll my eyes, Kyleigh has always been a romantic and has always been good with guys, I've never had a boyfriend, mostly because the boys at my school and that are around my family I can barely stand. But also I've never been good at talking to people in general, I have crippling social anxiety and I'm just awkward basically. I don't really know how me and Kyleigh became friends, we both go to the same school and our moms are best friends but she could easily just ignore me. We met at one of my parents social events and we spent the whole time after being introduced to each other stealing desserts from the kitchen and running around in the backyard. I always worry that one day or when we both leave for university that she's going to find a really cool, exciting and extroverted group of people to hang out with a will forget about me.

"Izzie" she shakes my shoulder, "what's up" i say, "you just like dozed off jeeze you're tired, this trip is definitely going to be a good time for you to relax and not get so stressed." "Maybe, speaking of tired we have to be up in like 6 hours we should get to sleep," I say and reach over and turn my light off. "Yeah your right, I'll set an alarm on my phone for 3:30 am." "Good idea, maybe push it to 3:00 though, you know how much my dad hates tardiness." Kyleigh laughs as she changes the alarm to 3:00 then lies down. Soon I hear her breathing slow down telling me she's asleep, I lay awake unable to fall asleep. I don't know what to make of this trip, I don't know weather to be excited or nervous or just bored. I really hope something happens on this trip, I've lived my whole life doing the same thing everyday, maybe this trip I can do something crazy like get a tattoo or drink alcohol. But really I'm going to be spending my summer at a fancy resort not really a place for any big adventures. I try to ignore the thoughts swirling around my head and I finally fall asleep.
