That One Summer

That One Summer ch.1

Hey! So I deleted my other story..I think that it sucked. Here's a new one..I hope it's better!

That One Summer....Chapter 1

 The bell rang. Doors banged open. Kids ran around the halls throwing papers everywhere. I stayed behind. I don't have any friends. I'm just the freak. The loser. The nobody. It all started in seventh grade when I ran over the most snobbiest, richest, meanest girl, Kelly Braye's dog. Well, I didn't do it, my mom did. But that doesn't make any difference. She spread rumors around school that I tortured the poor animal. I would never do such a thing. The only reason why people believe her is because she's so popular.

       Anyways, it's the last day of school. It's summer. It's beach time. It's time to hang out with your besties. Well, not for me. My parents are divorced and I live with my dad, but for the summer I decided that I should hang out with my mom. I mean, next year I'll be a senior. I need to get out of here. I'm going to Cali. I defiantly can't wait. I got in my car and drove home. When I walked in the door my dad's wife, Kasey had a cake in her hand. God she loves to bake.

  "Hey!! It's my senior!!" She yelled. I smiled at her. She can't have any kids, so she spoils me all the time with anything I want..but I rarely do that. I got the car, my mini cooper, but that's pretty much it.

"So how was your last day Mallory?" Kasey asked. I nodded my head and said good. Then she asked me about this summer. She's trying to convince me to stay home.

 "I really want to go though. And it'll be just for the summer. I promise! And I can get tan and a make-over and possibly become friends with Kelly?" I asked hopefully. Kacey really really wants me to be friends with Kelly, although I don't know why. Kacey nodded her head with excitement.

 "Let's go to the mall right now!! We can start your make-over right now so you can get some Cali boys!" She squealed. I nodded my head and laughed. I think I can do that.

 A few house later and a few couple hundred dollars later, We were home and I looked completely different, in a good way though. My long light brown hair had been trimmed a bit, I told Kacey that I wanted to keep my long hair. She wanted me to go blond, but again I refused. I had a lot of cute new clothes. She wanted me to get a spray tan but I said that I leave in three days. So Kacey got one instead while I got my nails done. Shopping was acutally lots of fun. I don't know why I didn't do it before! I sighed as I flopped down on my bed. What to do, what to do? Then my phone started to ring. I shot up. No one ever calls me. Without looking t the caller ID I picked up.

 "Hello?"

 "Uh hi. Is this...um...Mallory Holloway?" I paused. It's a guy's voice.

 "Yep. Who's this?" I asked, shocked to hear how un-shy I sounded.

 "This is Thomas Gray. Your mom's soon to be step-son. I'm sure your mom told you about me." What?!?

 "Actually, Thomas, She didn't mention anything about getting married in the email. So, is your dad a good guy? How long have they been dating? What's the date?!" Thomas laughed at me.

 "If I tell you, you have to act surprised when your mom tells you, deal?"

 "Deal!"

 "Okay, so my dad is a great guy. He's a lawyer and extremely rich. We are all living together in a huge beach house, it's actually the biggest one in the neighborhood,. They've been dating for two years now. But I can't tell  you the date because th-"

 "What?! Tell me the date!!" I screeched into the phone. Thomas laughed again.

 "They don't know the date yet. They want to talk to you about it. I was just calling to see if you really are coming. They want you at the wedding."

 "Oh.You said that they've been dating for..two years now?"

 "That's what I said." I did the math in my head. When they divorced I was thirteen. I'm now seventeen. So, Mom started dating when Dad got remarried.

 "Mallory! You there?"

 "Oh!! Yeah. I'm here. Sorry..."

 "It's all good. So, are you coming?"

 "Yep. I already went shopping. Are there any hot guys there?!" I asked without thinking. Great...This is embarrassing.

  "Uh...I'm not sure..I'm a straight guy so I don't know what you call hot. Are you a hot girl?" I blushed, then looked in the mirror. I wouldn't say I am. Nobody pays attention to me at school.

 "Mmm...I don't think so. I mean...I've never had a boyfriend because everyone at school thinks I'm a freak."

 "Oh, so...you're goth?"

 "What?!?! HAHAHA. No! What makes you think that!?"

 "Uh..well..never mind. Hey, Jan is calling me. Bye! See you in three days!"

 "Okay. Bye." Then I hung up. Thomas calls my mom Jan, that's so weird. I never asked what his dad's name is..huh. Then before I forgot I saved Thomas' number into my phone. I think that this is gonna be the best summer ever!

Hope you liked it! I'll try to update for anyone who read this..although I highlty doubt that anyone will be interested in this..haha..
