Chapter One

From Maine to Minnesota

;-

"Julie Anne Gaffney! Hurry up, you're going to be late for your flight," An exasperated voice yelled.

"Okay mom!" A dark blonde haired girl called from her room. Her blue eyes searched for her favourite clothes to bring back to the one place she could call a second home. Minnesota. Julie Gaffney hurriedly folded her clothes into her luggage. Minutes later, she finished packing and pulled her rolling luggage down the stairs.Her father, a fairly tall, middle aged man with Julie's eyes and hair, took the heavy load into the trunk.

"Have a safe trip, okay, hunny?" Mrs. Gaffney pulled her daughter into a tight hug.

"'kay mom, I promise Connie will take good care of me," Julie smiled, as she got into the car with her father.

Her father started the engine and pulled out of the driveway, driving towards their destination. Minutes seemed like hours as they neared the airport. Julie's heart began to race, this was her first summer away from the family. She figured it would be all the same, just like going to school, but later on along the ride, she realized that this was different. Julie would be away from home during the summer. Gosh, think good thoughts, Julie! she exclaimed in her thoughts. You're going to be with your second family, in your second home.

The car pulled to a halt as they reached the airport. Julie took a deep breath as she pulled herself out of the car. Mr. Gaffney opened the trunk and hauled out all of his daughters belongings. Julie took her belonging from her father before she gave him an enormous hug.

"Be safe, Julie, and more importantly, have fun," He told her.

"I will dad, I'll call you as soon as I get to Minnesota," Julie replied, letting go of him.

"Go on, you'll be late for your flight," Mr. Gaffney rushed.

"Okay, bye!" Julie waved before entering the airport. She looked behind her shoulder, seeing her father's car drive off. She took another deep breath, pulling her luggage behind her. Julie got into line, checked in her belongings, and walked over to the seating area by her flight terminal.

"Now boarding all passengers in Flight 23, Maine to Minnesota," the lady's voice clearly stated.

Julie grabbed her nap sack, her sweater, her ticket and her passport, before lining up. The line went by quickly as Julie was already in her respective seat on the flight. This was definitely going to be a long ride, according to Julie. Twenty minutes later, the plane finally took off, giving Julie more time to sleep.

The plane arrived in Minnesota a few hours later, waking Julie as the plane landed. She yawned tiredly waiting patiently before everyone was let out of the plane. Julie heard a small bell go off, signaling that seat belts can be taken off and passengers can exit the plane. She immediately pulled off her seatbelt - thankful that she was in the aisle seat. Julie got up, grabbing her nap sack above and her sweater lying on the seat. She followed the passengers in front of her out of the plane and took her own path to Baggage Claim.

Julie awaited for her luggage to come around. She immediately caught a glimpse of her purple luggage, with all the Ducks' names on it. Julie hauled her luggage off and pulled it through the hallways, taking her outside. Julie looked around the place for Connie, who was to pick her up at this time. She spotted a dark haired girl standing in front of a gorgeous red car. The girl waved for her to come over. Julie smiled, she knew exactly who she was. Connie Moreau, her best friend.

Julie pulled her luggage behind her, as she pulled up to Connie. She grabbed Connie into a one armed hug.

"I'm so glad you're staying!" Connie exclaimed.

"Cons, I can't breath!" Julie exclaimed, struggling for air.

Connie quickly let go of Julie, "Sorry, ha, here give me your things, I'll put it in the trunk for you."

Julie handed her luggage to Connie, as she got into the car, putting the seatbelt on. Seconds later, Connie got into the driver's seat next to Julie. Connie smiled as she drove off to her house.

"So, what's first?" Julie asked, this whole summer was alien to her.

"Well, first things first," she replied, pausing to take a right turn. "We unpack, then we do all the fun stuff."

"Fun as in...?" Julie questioned, knowing that Connie would want to paint nails, watch sappy love movies and talk about boys. Although, on the other hand, Connie usually had many good ideas other than the usual girly things.

"Fun as in surprising the Duck that you're here," Connie announced, confidently.

The cool breeze blew both Julie and Connie's hair behind them, as Connie drove along. Julie didn't bother to respond to Connie's announcement, she didn't want to surprise that certain someone that she has been avoiding he past numerous months. It was complicated, everything happened all so fast. The toughest part was trying not to give him any eye contact. In a way, Julie still cared for him. She wasn't exactly over him either, but she had to do what she felt was right at the time.

A part of Julie wanted to make up and be friends again, but another part of her didn't want to get her heart broken again. During last semester, Charlie, Connie and Guy, were the only ones who were there for her. She an Charlie grew closer together - Julie was thankful that he was there for her because sometimes Connie would always be out with Guy. It was comforting, and confusing all at the same time.

There was so much confusion; her hear is telling her to give Adam Banks another chance, but her brain is telling her to think otherwise. But as time passed by, Julie just stopped dealing with it. No, it didn't fill the empty feeling she had inside of her, but there was no other choice at the time.

Julie immediately stepped off her bed and ran up to Adam, putting her arms around him. "Hey! What's up?"

Adam wrapped his arms around her and spun her around. Julie giggled as Adam set her down.

"Just came to see my Jules," Adam said, enthusiastically, pinching her cheeks.

Julie whacked his hand, "Stop! You know how much I hate it when people pinch my cheeks."

"I know, I do it because I know how much it bothers you," Adam teased, smirking.

Julie giggled, tying her hair up in a ponytail. She knew that there was something else that Adam wanted to say to her, it was like a second nature for her to know that there was always something else on Adam's mind. Julie headed towards her bed, sitting on it cross-legged. She gestured Adam to come sit with her. He went to sit next to Julie and commenced to play with his fingers.

"Hm, something on your mind?" Julie asked, concerned.

Adam nodded, but decided not to say anything yet. He could see the concern in Julie's blue eyes. He didn't want Julie to be concerned about him. Thus, he smiled, hoping she wouldn't be as concerned.

"What's it about?" Julie questioned, fiddling with her ponytail.

"I was just wondering - you know - if you want to hang - "

Connie waved her hand in front of Julie's face. "Helloooooo! Jules, you've been so quiet this whole ride. Please don't tell me that you've not excited about you being the surprise.

Julie snapped out of it, as she processed what Connie said, "Oh, yeah, I'm so excited, it's unbearable." she said, her voice full of sarcasm.

"Stop! You're so retarded sometimes, you know?" Connie giggled, stepping out of her car. "You know you want to surprise the original District 5, and don't you lie, Julie Gaffney."

"The original District 5 yes... minus one," Julie coughed the last bit.

"Grow up Julie! Can't you just be friends with Adam?! Honestly, your breakup was nothing as bad, you guys had only one date, after all. You've told me so many times that you were over him, now I think I'm getting vibes that you're not," Connie stated, pulling the trunk opened.

Connie's comment really hit Julie hard, why she chose to ignore Adam, she did not know. All this time they could've stayed close friends. Connie was most definitely correct. Julie and Adam only had one date, she should have just put everything behind her. She wasn't glad that she just decided to forget about Adam and move on with life. God, life can be confusing.

"I blew things out of proportions, and I'm not so sure that I'm over him, Connie. I feel so guilty, being so rude to him," Julie sighed, pulling her luggage out of the trunk.

Connie closed the trunk shut, "I sensed that you were so miserable without Adam. Just talk to him, okay? I'm gonna gather all the Ducks tonight, pool party sound good?"

"You have a pool? Since when?" Julie gasped, she has been to her best friend's house before, but she's never seen her pool.

"I've never taken you to my backyard, have I? Well it's there anyways," Connie replied.

"That's cool, now are you going to help me put my things in your spare room?" Julie smirked.

"Yeah yeah, right this way," Connie said, grabbing some of Julie's belongings.
