Love with a Twist
Chapter 1:
In order for love to respect you, you have to respect love. My parents didn't get that concept. That is why they are divorced. I'm Macey; A sixteen year old junior living 3000 miles away from my dad. He lives in La Push, Washington while me, my mom, my sister, and two brother's live in Miami, Florida. I go to Sun Beach High with my best friend Blake. We aren't the most popular, but I just have to live with it.
I came home to my mother on the couch doing homework with my brother Ivan who is 11. She does this every day routine and asks how my day was. I say fine and run up the stairs to do my homework. She came hurrying up the stairs with the rest of the family and barges through the small door. "Can't you knock?" I ask frightened. "I have something to tell you guys. Me and your dad want to get remarried and move back to-""What! I can't leave Blake here alone! He doesn't have anyone else. I can't believe you would even think of saying that!"
I have never said anything like that to my mom. I mean, she has always talked about how mean our dad was. I always thought I never would have seen him again. But I guess I am kind of excited because I might meet the man of my dreams. No one would know my real past in Florida. I might even be popular. Boys might find me hot. No one has ever asked me out and now might be my one and only chance.
I ran downstairs to tell her that I changed my mind and that I really did want to move back and that Blake and I would just have to write each other every week. She hugged me for the longest time. I went back upstairs to email Blake. Then I started to pack. When Blake emailed me back, he seemed mad but happy for me. I started to cry a little. We have been best friends since the first day of 1st grade. And now I am just leaving him. I worried a little if I had made the right decision. I had to go, if not, I might never get that special someone.
We are finally here in La Push at my dad's house. It's raining of course and I'm freezing. But I guess I brought that onto myself because I was wearing shorts and a tank top and my mom has the air conditioning on high. I get out of the car and rush inside where it's warmer than Hawaii. My dad comes in the room and bear hugs me. It's kind of awkward because he is shirtless. He also had this weird tattoo on his shoulder and he was really warm and tan. "I can't believe you guys got so big. I'm so glad you're here. Hey! Maybe we can go down to the beach later and meet the rest of the crew." My dad said with an excited voice. "Sounds like fun." I said.
The beach isn't as fun as I thought it would be. The sun is nowhere to be found, there's rocks everywhere, and no one is here. Except a couple of guys with their girlfriends crowded around the biggest rock there on First Beach. So I changed into my ripped jeans and my hot pink Hollister jacket. I just walk down the beach with my sister Ramsey who is 15. Ivan is playing football with my brother Colton who is 13, and my dad Jared. My mom Sydnee is meeting up with her old friends Hannah and Jaycee. So Ramsey and I have nothing else to do.
We pass by the big rock with all the guys and their girlfriends by it. One girl stares at me with greenish brown eyes. I feel like I am going to meet up with her again. Then I notice one guy staring at me. He has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. He's tall and tan and he's looking at me with a gentle smile. I smile back with a careful wave. I can hear in the background the other guys laughing at him, but I don't care. He waves back and my sister giggles and waves at the other guy standing next to the rock. We both walk a little faster and hear footsteps behind us. He's tapped my shoulder and said. "Hi, I'm Conner Uley. You want to go get some coffee or something? " In that moment, everything changed. This was true love and it was all because I made the decision to move here. "Uh, yeah, sure. Oh, I'm Macey Cameron."
