SummerDays
*looking back*
My life had been admittedly sucky at the end of the school year. Nothing had been going my way, I pretty much failed all but two finals, my GPA dropped 3 points, my parents got divorced, and then my grandpa died. Life couldn't get worse.
They always say it has to get worse before it gets better. I never believed in sayings like that… they always seemed too perfect to be true. But just let me tell you- after having the summer I did… my life was worth so much more to me. And I had the greatest summer of my entire life.
June 23, 2008
School was over. Finally. I had the whole entire summer with no job, just friends, vacation, and the beach. Boys, parties, books, music--- ahhhh my life was finally gonna improve a little bit. My dad was moving out at the end of the week, and now maybe there will be a little peace and quiet around here. I love my parents. Both equally… and for me, the divorce sucks. But recently they both just haven't been themselves; Mom always in a huff about work and things, and dad just generally moping around. They need it, and I'm going to of course stay on good terms with both of them. Technically I'm going to keep living in Boothbay Harbor, Maine with my mom, but ill have a second home all the way on the other side of the country. My dad just needs to get away… and he's moving to Washington State. Of all places he could move, he decided to move there. I don't really understand why, midlife crisis maybe? Who knows, all I know is that its making him happy and that's all that matters. He's moving to a tiny reservation on the Olympic peninsula called La Push. It's supposed to be a pretty nice little place… which is why me and my 4 best friends are going to visit him in July a couple days after he gets settled in. His gift to me for moving to far away was 5 round trip tickets, 5 times a year. I get to choose who I wanna bring, and when I wanna go. First trip is going to be this summer, July 3… and then well see where it goes from there.
July 3, 2008
Its 4:30 in the morning, and I woke up with my best friends beside me. All of us ready to go on a vacation to the middle of nowhere. But strangely, we were all really pumped. My mom drives us all to the airport and wishes us a good trip. We say our goodbyes and were on out way. My friends are the best people in the world. And the five of us have been friends since a really long time ago. Alyssa (Lyss) has been my best friend since kindergarten. Brandi and Liz have been friends since 5th grade, and then the four of us grouped up with Emily to make our group of 5. Lyss is the perfect one. Brandi's the one everybody likes. Liz's the all-state all-star athlete, and Emily's the crazy one. As for me, I'm Keegan, the one who is only average in school, only average at sports, always the second phone call to hang out etc. The most outgoing, but the least popular. The 4 of them love me, and other people only do because they can't be friends with Lyss Brandi Liz and Em without me; were a package deal. I know I'm going to sound conceited, but the 5 of us are a really good-looking crowd. I'm definitely on the bottom of the list… but once again I'm included because the 4 of them are beautiful. Boys drool just seeing them in the hallways. And I'm the friend they go to, when they want me to "hook the up". Were all kind of boy crazy. I'm definitely the slut out of the group, hooking up with guys just to hook up. Emily has Becker, and they're perfectly happy together. And Liz, Brandi and Alyssa could get any guy they want, and will gladly hook up with guys, but much prefer relationships to hookups. For me though, no guy wants a relationship with me and I'm fine with that. So in the mean time I'm just going to be a teenager and do stupid stuff, and hook up with random guys for fun. It makes everything more exciting.
As soon as we got off the plane, my dad was waiting, a smile on his face. It felt good to see him so happy, I haven't seen him smile like that in more than a couple months. We drove down to La Push, and it was greater than I expected! Perfect for my dad, a beach, fishing, woods, lots of people and a great friendly environment. His house was amazingly cute. It was right on the bank of a river, with forest on the other side of it. The trees were towered above the little ranch. There was my room in the basement, a kitchen upstairs, a family room attached to the kitchen, a bathroom, and my dad's office and his bedroom. My room was supposed to be his office, but he realized it was too small for me and friends to all sleep, and the basement had its own bathroom so he decided to give me my own private suite! It was so nice, and…. A door leading out into the garage, a very convenient door I thought to myself.
"Keegan!! Comeee onnnnnnn!!!!!! Lets go!" Brandi screamed at me from upstairs
I was getting ready, we were all just gonna go walk around outside and check the place out. It was about 6 and it was beautiful outside. One of the only nice days I might get, I noted to myself remembering what my dad told me about the weather here.
Me and em were walking ahead of the other three talking…
"… and I really wanna meet someone on this vacation…" I said thoughtfully
"of course you do…you wanna meet a guy" she laughed, then noticing my face continued "nahh I get what you mean… its been since like… spring break for you… gotta tame that beast once in a while..." she responded cracking herself up. Liz, Brandi and Lyss heard and laughed along with her, catching up to us.
"Shut it. That's not what I meant and you know it." I snapped back at them "I just want something good to happen on this vacation. And if I potentially met a guy here, then it would give me a good reason to come back more often to see my dad too…"
"You know what Keeg….? I'm gonna be crazy this vacation. Im gonna hookup with someone too…" Alyssa added smiling confidentially to herself.
"Ha... you say that now… then comes the 'I can't do this!' 'I'm a total slut!' 'what am I doing? I've only known him for a couple of hours!'" Brandi added and we all laughed, because everybody- including Alyssa knew it was true.
We kept walking around the reservation for another hour and it started getting dark. We walked around the beach, found places we could potentially party, etc. then, as we were walking back towards my dads street, out of nowhere came the 5 most beautiful guys I have ever seen in my life. Tall, jacked, and laughing- just my type, I noted. "Ayy—Kee your prayers just may be answered" Liz whispered quietly. All 4 of them looked at me expectantly, and I smirked to myself… oh they knew me too well. One reason I love going away and meeting new people, is because though I'm outgoing at home and school… when I'm first introducing myself to somebody, I'm extremely outgoing, much MUCH more so than my 4 besties, especially when were out not around kids from school. I have a reputation in school of being the slutty, annoying one that nobody really likes… but for some strange reason, whenever the 5 of us go out somewhere together not school related, were all treated equally. And I love it.
"Hey!" I yelled at the gang of gods… "Do you guys live here?"
Stopping in their tracks, pretending like they weren't looking at us before, they looked over, surprised then surprise turned into smiles. They all looked around at each other, and I swear I heard one of them whisper "damn… it's our lucky night…" and they all smirked. "Yeah, we all live here on the reservation… who are you? I don't believe Ive ever seen you around here before… I'm Jacob, Jacob Black" smiled the tall lanky one, who seemed to be their leader.
"It's nice to meet you Jacob. I'm Keegan. Keegan Monahan… Who are your friends?" I added raising my eyebrows. I couldn't help but notice that there were 5 of them and 5 of us…
He raised his eyebrows in response… "This is Embry, Quill, Seth, and Paul… what brings you guys to La Push?" he added
"My dad just moved here from Maine, and I'm visiting him with a few of my friends…this is Alyssa Cryer, Liz Fetko, Emily McCormick, and Brandi Katz…" I smirked at the faces of the boys… they were typical, drooling and staring at the 4 of them. Except one, I think it was Embry, the hottest of them all.
His deep chocolate eyes were connected with mine… melting me from the inside out.
