Summer
Official Chaper 1
Lily's POV
“Ladies and gentleman, please fasten your seatbelts. The aircraft will now be landing in beautiful California!” I couldn’t believe it. Just a few hours ago I was perfectly content in Virginia, planning to spend my summer fishing, swimming, and riding. With my friends. And then when my parents announced that we were spending the summer in California I practically flipped. I tried to stay strong, for my mom. But, I was screaming, and, I couldn’t help it. “NO!” I said, picturing myself in a movie when all the birds fly out of the trees when I screamed. But, yes, it had to be done. My parents had got my Aunt Lucy to maintain the farm. Ugh. I insisted on staying and helping, but, my parents said no. Plain and simple. They said that California would be fun over the Summer. Yeah, right. Thats not exactly my style. My parents had rented a house, near a beach. Where there was no fishing. My dad and I loved to fish. It was our thing to do. I mean, could that just be taken away? Just by one little sign?

“Lily, C’mon!” Dad said. “Coming,” I said. I grabbed my carry-on. Once we were in the taxi, I took in the midnight scenery. We had a late flight. This was nothing like West Virginia. Nothing like it at all. But, I supposed that the house was nice. It was a two story modern house, walking distance from the beach. I had a room with carpetting, a bathroom, and a balcony. It was right next to my parents’. Well, all that there was left to do was see where today took me, after I went to sleep.
kind of a slow start, naturekat, any ideas?
