Give it a Chance
chapter 3

When I arrived home I told my parents about the party and they were just as thrilled as I was.
"Of course you can go honey! We want you to feel like this is your home."
I smiled and assured her,"It already does mama."
I wrapped my parents in a group hug, and my dad ruffled my hair.
My golden retriever, Sunny, came over and started barking at us.
"Can't forget Sunny," my dad joked.
I pulled away and knealt down, kissing her on th nose, and petting her head. "How could I?"
I stood up and made my way over to my room.
I glanced in and it wasn't exactly comfortable yet. There were boxes piled up, and I hadn't designed it yet the way I wanted it to look like.
I searched through the boxes and found the one I was looking for.
Labeled on top in red sharpie it read, "Swimsuits."
I ripped it open, and picked out the one that looked best. I wanted to make a good first impression.
I slipped on a salmon colored bikini, and threw my hair up in a ponytail.
I scanned the room for looking for a pair of shorts, and noticed a white pair lying on my bed. I slid them on, and also threw a navy, off the shoulder t-shirt over my head.
I slipped my toes through my toes through my rainbows, and checked myself in the mirror.
I didn't exactly feel like a california girl, but I sure looked like one.
I checked the time, and I was about ready to leave. I sprinted out the door, and yelled goodbye to my parents.
I hopped on my bike and headed to the boardwalk.
Before I even parked my bike, I noticed a bunch of teenagers on the beach, doing everything Chelsea said they would.
I gulped nervously, and scanned the boardwalk.
I spotted Chelsea and Will at the ice cream shop waiting for me, just like they said they would be.
I took a deep breath, squared my shoulders, and made my way over.
Once I approached them Chelsea turned and grinned, running up to me, embracing me in a bear hug.
"I'm so glad you could make it! Everyone's dying to meet you!"
I laughed and replied, "I'm sure they'll live."
I glanced at Will who was staring at the beach, itching to go.
I was a tad upset he hadn't said hello, because I thought I looked really good. It was mostly for him honestly. Chelsea looked me up and down and said,
"You look adorable! You'll fit right in!"
I smiled and thanked her. At least someone noticed.
"Really? Thanks! You too!"
And she did. She had her brown wavy hair, pulled to the side in a fishtail braid, and she was wearing a navy and red striped bikini, ripped jean shorts, and a white tanktop.
She beamed and grabbed my wrists, dragging me to the beach.
"You ready," she asked.
I nodded, and she lead the way.
