This is me, fulfilling a childhood fantasy ^_^ Hope you enjoy it! Please review :)
Chapter 1
'What a horrible flight!' I was finally home after 5 years being at a boarding school in London. Let me tell you, those girls can't skate for shit. I was basically alone when it came to sports, so I neglected them a bit and began tending my girly side. I started to wear skirts and dresses which hugged my breasts and curves. I also began applying makeup, which was one of the hardest things I have learned to do- it's ridiculous! In two months, I'll be starting my senior year in Ocean Shores, my hometown. I missed my family, Tito and the guys.
I pulled out my hair tie to let my dark wavy purple hair cascade down my back. I also took off my sunglasses. I was waiting for Raymundo and my little brother to pick me up from the airport. I leaned on the baggage trolley because my feet grew tired. 'Where are they?', I thought impatiently to myself.
"Reggie!" As soon as I heard my name, I turned around and looked for familiar faces. I saw Sam. He ran to me and pulled me into a hug. I broke apart from the hug and took a look at him "You lost some weight, Sammy!" He did! He was still a bit chubby, but you could that he was fit. He still has those horn-rimmed glasses. He blushed "You're the only one who's allowed to call me that. You look great." He stated. I looked down and ran my hand through my hair in embarrassment "Thanks." I smiled at my friend. "Where're the rest?" Sam answered "They're by the coffee shop. They thought you haven't landed yet." Sam helped me with the luggage and led me to the coffee shop.
As we came closer to the shop, Raymundo noticed us and shouted in excitement "There's my little girl!" and gave me a bear hug. "Dad! You're crushing her!" Otto, my little brother, yelled. Ray stopped hugging me and took a look at me "What a beautiful woman you've become." "Dad…" I muttered in embarrassment. I mean, we talked almost every day in Skype. Tito gave me a half hug "We planned something for you back at 'The Shack'", he said proudly. "Alright, that's awesome!" I gave him a grin as Otto and Twister approached me. "Geez Reg, what happened to you?" Otto asked mockingly and gave me a hug. Otto still had his stupid dreadlocks, but hey- he loves them. "You're now taller than me now, Ottoman!" He grinned at my remark. I guess Twister was a little shocked because he had a stunned look on his face "Welcome back, Reg." I smiled gratefully at him. He had a dark blue hat (backwards) which covered his shoulder length ginger hair. And with that we headed to Ray's van.
As we entered the small parking spot nearby 'The Shore Shack', I noticed a lot of people next to the place. Ray parked the car and we got out to greet them. I saw my two past friends, Trish and Sherry. Trish had grown a bit fuller and her ebony hair was cut short up to her chin. Sherry let her curly blonde hair down and her figure was leaner that Trish's. They were all in awe. "You look great, Reg!" Trish gushed. I chuckled and thanked her. Sherry immediately asked me if I had a boyfriend. I quickly shook my head. I mean, I used to sneak out with my friends and meet up with guys, but I had never had anything serious. I haven't met the right guy, but I wanted a relationship. I feel that it's missing; to be wrapped in someone's arms, to laugh and cry with him. I mean, it's not that I'm desperate, I'm not! It's just that I saw my friends back at the boarding school flirting and making out with guys and I secretly envied them. I had plenty of chances, don't get me wrong, but I felt that something greater is waiting for me.
I spoke to other guests before Raymundo got everyone's attention "Welcome Home, Reggie!" He bellowed to the crowd. Everyone cheered and resumed chatting with other guests. Otto, with Sam's help, put on music.
I was talking to Twister when I heard Sherry squeal "Trent!" I turned to see a tanned guy with stubble, straight light brown hair and piercing brown eyes. He didn't notice anyone, but stared at me "Reggie." "Trent." I replied curtly. I was still disappointed in him; he showed me that he wasn't who I thought he was- and to think I had a crush on him. "Wow…you've really grown up." He looked at me top to bottom. I scrunched up my nose in disgust. "Don't you dare look at her like that!" Otto reprimanded behind me. Trent chuckled and walked away, but not without eyeing me again. "Who invited him?" Twister shrugged at my question.
It was about 10 p.m. when the party ended. We helped Tito and Ray clean up, and then we went home. We parted from Twister and Sam, guaranteeing that we will meet up tomorrow.
As soon as Ray opened the door, I smiled; nothing changed. "We didn't want to change anything." Ray explained. "It's awesome!" I grinned at my dad. We started bringing in my suitcases and taking them upstairs to my room.
My room had peach colored wallpaper, a dark brown desk (with a laptop) under the window, and the bed was larger than my old one. "I'll empty my suitcases tomorrow, I'm tired." I yawned in my dad's face. He smiled and said "Yeah, no big deal. So anyway, change clothes and come downstairs." and closed the door after me. He didn't even wait for an answer; he knew I'd come.
I changed into a purple hoodie and black shorts and went downstairs. Otto and Ray were watching T.V. I walked over to them as they made room for me on the couch. I sat in between them as I put my head on my dad's shoulder "It's good to have you home, Reg." Otto said, and I smiled at him "It's great to be home."
