A Summer to Remember
Chapter 5
The next morning I was sitting at the kitchen counter, watching an episode of The Price is Right while Anthony made me breakfast. Anthony was my dad’s personal chef, and although I insisted on making my own breakfast, Anthony said he wouldn’t allow it. He only let my dad make his own meals when he asked. My dad had to go film some more interviews, so he was going to be gone the whole day.
“So what are you planning on doing tomorrow night?” Anthony asked me as he cracked two eggs into a frying pan. They sizzled when they hit the surface.
I muted the TV. “Why? What’s tomorrow night?” I asked him.
He took little cubes of ham and sprinkled them all around the eggs. “Tomorrow is the fourth of July!” he exclaimed. “It’s my favorite holiday. I love all of the colorful fireworks,” he added.
Right, tomorrow was the fourth of July. I had completely forgotten. I suddenly felt my heart breaking a little, because this was the first fourth of July that I wasn’t going to be spending with my best friend, Anna. Then I smiled to myself, imagining what it would be like watching the fireworks with James.
I looked over at Anthony, who was still expecting my answer of what I was doing tomorrow night. “I think I know who I want to spend it with, but I’m not sure where. Are there any special fireworks shows?” I asked him.
He smiled as he started finishing up my omelet. “Why yes! There are fireworks launched over Marina Del Ray in between Fisherman’s Village and Breakwater. They are amazing,” he told me.
“Perfect!” I said. I hopped up from my chair and ran to my phone. I went straight to James’ contact and hit the message icon.
Kayla: Hey James! It’s Kayla, from the airport (:
I nervously waited for his response.
James: Hi Kayla! I was waiting for u to txt me. I wasn’t sure if u got the sticky note w/ my #.
Kayla: Lol, yeah I got it(: r u doing anything for the 4th of July tomorrow?
James: Not yet..y? Do u want to hang out?
Kayla: Yeah! Do u want to go see the fireworks over Marina Del Ray? They start at 9.
James: Sure. My aunt and uncle live right near there. We can come back to their house and go swimming or whatever after.
Kayla: Sounds great(: I’ll meet u at the fireworks show at around 8?
James: Yeah, that’s good.
Then I walked back into the kitchen to see my omelet sitting in front of my chair with a glass of fresh orange juice and a side of fruit waiting for me to dive in. Half-way through eating my omelet, I dropped my fork and my jaw dropped.
I had just made a date with James.
This summer was definitely going to be the best one yet.

Anything but Ordinary.
Chapter 13
Ali's P.O.V.
I woke up, happily cuddled in Matt's arms. "Good Morning Beautiful." he said.
I smiled. "morning"
My mom texted me saying she'd come pick me up, and that she had Kayla and Emmie with her. I got up, and I could walk but barely. I thanked Mrs. Russo for picking me up and letting me stay the night and went outside to wait. Matt came out with me and we sat on his front porch. "I'm still really sorry" He said. "Matt really it's fine it's my fault" I relpied. My mom pulled up "Bye" I said. "No it's not your fault, if I could have stopped you, if I ran faster. It will always be my fault, bye Ali." He said as I walked to my mom's car. "Hi mom, Hey Emmie Hey Kayla" I said.
My mom apoligized for not being able to get me at the hospital.
As we drove home I realized we only had 3 weeks of summer left. Wow, it was going by fast. We got home and went up to my room. When I got there, there was cards and gifts from tons of people, my family, and people from school. I got gift cards, money, clothes, CD's, Movies, books and magazines, a couple stuffed animals, and a whole bunch of get well wishes. "woah..." I mumbled.
"Maybe this wasn't so bad.." Kayla said.
"I WANT TO GET HIT BY A CAR!" Emmie yelled and we exploded into laughter. "Oh my god, I don't believe this!" I said. My mom came upstairs to tell us that people had been stopping by to drop all of this off. We started to look at all the cards, and there was stuff from people I'd been sort of friends with to people I'd never even talked to. They were all saying how much they wanted to hang out and couldn't wait to see me again. Even all the 'cool' and 'popular' kids had sent me things like that.
Well Kayla and Emmie were right. This wasn't so bad after all.
Become popular? Check.

A Summer to Remember
Chapter 3
“Have you figured out what you would like to do today?” my dad asked, suddenly appearing in my doorway. I looked over at the clock and realized it was already one o’clock.
I had been fantasizing about what a day would be like with James. Then I realized that my whole summer can’t be spent with only one person. I faced my dad.
“Can we go to Universal Studios?” I asked him. I had been to the Universal Studios in Florida, but never in California. I loved how every ride and attraction was based off of a movie.
My dad smiled and put his hands in his pockets. “Sure thing, teeno. Let me change and we can get going,” he responded.
He walked away from my door and I decided that I should change my outfit too. I was wearing an outfit that people typically would wear to an airport during the summer; a T-shirt with Soffee shorts. Then I realized that my Pumas were still out in the hallway, so I went to retrieve them.
“What should I wear?” I asked myself, standing inside the walk-in closet. I pulled out a light blue Sugarlip. Then I grabbed a pair of Hollister shorts and got changed. I looked in the mirror and thought it was a simple and an appropriate outfit for Universal.
Next, I had to battle my hair and makeup. I walked out of my bedroom and down the hallway to find the bathroom. Once I found it, I walked inside and was amazed at the size of it. It was the size of my bedroom back in New York! I really didn’t understand why one man would need all of this space.
I braided my light brown hair into a fishtail down the side of my head and put on some waterproof mascara with blue eyeliner on my water line to bring out my blue eyes. I shrugged. “Good enough,” I told my reflection and turned off the bathroom light.
♥
Sorry this chapter is super super super boring. I promise chapter 4 is much more interesting! Feedback?(: & If you would like me to notify you, please comment. ♥

A Summer to Remember
chapter 2 - part 1
The limo started to slow down and my heart started pounding. I couldn’t wait to see what my dad’s house looked like.
“Okay,” my dad said, “you can open your eyes now.”
I opened my eyes and let them adjust to the light. I unbuckled my seatbelt and knelt on the seat to get a better view. His house was huge. It had white stones outlining crème colored cement walls. Above the door was a beautiful white balcony that glistened in the sunlight.
Carlos came around to my side of the limo and popped open the door. I hopped out and stared in awe at the house.
“Wow Dad, how do you afford this place?” I asked him.
He shook Carlos’s hand and then turned to me. “Like I told your mother, my job really took off. Plus, I live alone, so I’m not paying as much for electricity or water,” he explained.
I nodded my head. Carlos brought my bags over to my side. “Here you go, Miss Kayla,” he said to me.
I smiled. “Thanks Carlos!” I exclaimed, putting my fist out to him for a fist pound. He awkwardly obliged then walked back to the limo. I shrugged and looked back at the house.
“Ready to go inside?” My dad said, pulling the house keys out of his pocket.
We walked over to the door and he unlocked it revealing the inside. The floor was made out of white marble and there was a white swan-shaped fountain sitting right in the foyer. I looked to my right and saw a huge flat screen TV with chocolate brown couches and white leather bean bags. Then to my left was a dining room with a long mahogany table covered in a burgundy table cloth.
“Your room is up the stairs to the left and the first door on the right,” he told me.
I ran up the stairs in excitement. The door was closed so I slowly opened it. I first noticed that the carpet was white, so I slipped off my Pumas and left them in the hallway. I took a step in and looked around the room. My comforter was a dusty rose color and another huge flat screen TV hung on the wall across from it. To the side was the newest version of the white colored Mac laptop sitting on a white nightstand. I stood in the doorway just amazed.

10 things to do in an elevator..
1. Pick a corner and stay there silently with your face to the wall.
2. Say ding every time you reach a new floor.
3. Look at someone, open your eyes real wide, back away and say 'your one of them'..
4. Make explosive noises every time someone presses a button.
5. Drop a pen and wait for someone to pick it up for you, then scream 'that's mine!'
6. When your alone with someone, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn't you.
