My name's Jana Grey. I live with my older sister, Justice, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Here's the story of my craziest summer. It all started with my parents.
I was in my bedroom, watching YouTube videos on my laptop, and wondering what to do with my summer. My best friend, Rachel, was out of town, my other friends, twin sisters Sam and Gina, were at summer camp, and I was bored out of my mind. "Jana! Come downstairs! We have something important to tell you!" my mom, Lily, called from the living room. I closed my laptop and ran downstairs. Maybe we were going on vacation! Or maybe it was bad news. Justice was already there.
My mom and dad watched me enter the room. "Sweetie, do you have any plans for this summer?"
My dad asked. I rolled my eyes. "No." I said. "Good, because you and your sister are going to live with your aunt Stella in Gravity Falls, Oregon." "What?!" me and Justice shouted at the same time.
Yep, it was bad news."Sweetie, we don't have any other options. And we want you to enjoy your summer."Justice stood up. "We're not going to enjoy it if we spend it in the middle of nowhere! I mean, seriously, mom, Gravity Falls? How many people even live there?!" "And I've never met aunt Stella."
I chimed in. "Do you really want me to spend my summer with a stranger?" "Yes." My dad muttered.
My mom elbowed him, glaring. "I promise you, this will be fun! I hear there's a place there called the Mystery Shack. You should check it out!" I shrugged. "Sounds like some cheesy tourist trap." Justice nodded in agreement. We were both giving our parents the evil eye. Mom and dad didn't budge.
Their decision was final. We went upstairs to pack for what could be the worst summer of our lives.
