I don't own any books or characters written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. Even if I do have the same last name. Also I never read the last two books so I don't know if the Malloy's end up going back to Ohio. In this fanfic they do. Also even though this is based off the Girls vs. Boys series I haven't read it for years so I don't know it that well. The facts might not be right. Please leave a review telling me my mistakes.
All Caroline Malloy wanted was to go home. Her shift at the grocery store was almost over. As soon as Micheal came in and took over she could go. Her best friend, McKenna, walked up from the front doors.
"Almost done, Carri?" she asked.
Caroline groaned and flipped her blond ponytail, "Almost. As soon as Micheal takes over I can go."
"Sweet," she said grabbing a magazine out of her bag, leaning on the edge of the checkout counter, and reading it.
"Thanks," Caroline said handing the lady she had been helping her bags. The next people in line then took their place. Four boys. The youngest looked younger then her but the second youngest couldn't have been more then a year older or younger then her. The oldest were twins, she could tell, and they looked to be the same age as her oldest sister. They were laughing and goofing off as boys typically did.
McKenna looked up realizing boys were standing right in front of her. She looked down at what they were buying. "Wow, that's a lot of junk food. You guys throwing a party," she asked.
"No, we're on a road trip to Michigan," one of the twins said.
"Oh, I see. I'm McKenna," she said.
"I'm Jake," the twin who spoke earlier said. He referred to his twin, "This is Josh." To the second youngest, "Wally." And to the youngest, "Peter."
Josh smiled and turned to Caroline. "Nice to meet you guys, McKenna and -" he read her name tag, "Caroline."
Caroline didn't smile. "I go by Carri," she said.
"Right," he said. "Carri."
Wally said, "I had a friend named Caroline once. Caroline Malloy. She actually came from Ohio and had to move back here."
Jake laughed. "I'd hardly call you two friends," he said.
Both the girls perked up when Wally had said Caroline's name. "Wait, did you say Caroline Malloy? I know a Caroline Malloy," she said.
"Don't," Carri said.
"You do?" Peter asked.
"Yeah. Caroline Malloy is the name of the cute blond standing right next to me," she said.
"I told not to do anything," Carri said to McKenna.
"Caroline!" Jake exclaimed. "You remember us right? The Hatfords."
"When did I know you?" she asked.
"You were in my fourth grade class," Wally said.
"No," she said, "I don't know you."
The boys looked at each other confused. "But . . ." Peter said.
"Hey, Carri, I can take over now," Micheal said.
"Cool. Thanks, Micheal," she said. Then she turned to the Hatfords, "F Y I, Caroline fell off a cliff and died years ago."
