Chapter 1
It was the last day of school before summer break. Bradin was happy that Callie wasn't going to bother him for a week, because she was going to Florida to visit her cousin.
Everyone was waiting for the bell to ring to get out of school and go surfing or meet up with their friends at the beach.
"Ringgg!" the bell rang and everyone was trying to get out of the school.
"Hey Brae." Callie said as she approached bradin.
"Hey," he said quietly not wanting to talk to her.
"So… what are you going to do when I'm gone to Florida for the week?" she asked.
"I don't know, maybe hang with Lucas and the others." He said walking away from her.
"Ok," she said feeling relived that he wasn't going to look for any girls while she's gone to Florida.
"Why do you care anyways?" he asked looking a little mad.
"Because I'm your girlfriend!" she yelled so that everyone could hear.
"How come you're acting so weird today?" she asked looking at him.
"I'm not acting weird. I'm just tired, ok!" He yelled walking out of Playa Linda High.
Bradin walked home finding Nikki and Cameron on the couch watching a movie.
He walked up stairs to his room thinking of if he should break up with Callie or not.
Should I break up with her? How can she turn from nice and kind to controlling my life, and telling me what to do? What am I suppose to do? He thought to himself for a bit.
Everything became quite, and Bradin was still lying on his bed thinking of if he should break up with Callie or not.
He was really confused, so he went out to the beach for a walk. He was so relaxed and he tried thinking of weather to break up with Callie or not.
He walked for about half an hour, but he was still confused.
He was looking down at the sand walking, but then accidentally bumped into a girl that looked familiar, but didn't recognize who it was.
"Sorry, I'm so clumsy." She said as she bent down to pick up her things.
"No, I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was walking." Bradin said as he helped her pick up her things.
"Do I know you? You look so familiar." The girl said as she stood up
"I don't know. I feel like I know you too, but I've never seen you here before. If I did I would have remembered." He said biting his bottom lip.
"Oh really?" she said
"Yeah," he smiled
"Well, I've lived here for five years." She told him smiling back at him.
"Then how come I haven't seen you before?" he asked.
"I just came back from my home town yesterday." She replied thinking that might've been part of the reason.
"Really? Where's that?" he asked.
"Kansas, I haven't been back there for a long time." She told him
"Really? I was from Kansas myself." He said remembering where he known her from.
"Your Bradin Westerly!" she yelled remembering that they were enemies.
"Your Halie Lawrence!" he yelled back.
"I can't believe this! I left Kansas five years ago thinking I would never see you again, and here you are in Playa Linda!" Halie screamed.
"How an I suppose to know you moved here!" he yelled back at her.
"Well, I did say I was moving to California. Didn't I?" she yelled louder.
"How am I supposed to remember? It was five friggin years ago!" he continued to yell.
"I can't believe after all these years I would see you again," she said calmly.
"Yeah, me neither." He said biting his lips.
Man, she's changed so much I couldn't even recognize her. I would have never thought that she could turn out so pretty after all these years. He thought.
Damn! He's hot! Before I thought he was just a loser with all these preppy girls around him. Now that he's alone I think he turned out hotter than I thought he would be. She thought.
There was an awkward silence between them. No one was talking. All they could hear was the waves crashing onto shore.
"It was nice seeing you again, but I better get going." Halie said softly walking past bradin.
Bradin walked back home thinking of Halie.
"Hey," he heard from behind, he turned around finding Lucas standing there.
"Hey Lucas, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I wanted to see if you wanted to go to Jared's party tonight." Lucas said walking up to him.
"No, I don't want to go." Bradin said walking away from him.
Bradin was still thinking of Halie, but at the same time thinking of him and Callie's relationship.
He walked into the house finding everyone talking and laughing, but he head a familiar voice but still yet unfamiliar. He walked over to find Halie sitting on the couch talking to Ava, Susanna, Nikki and Cameron.
"Halie? What are you doing here?" Bradin asked looking confused to why she was there.
"I'm here talking to my friends. What do you think I'm doing?" Halie asked wondering why he was there.
"What are you doing here?" Halie asked.
"I live here with my aunt." Bradin said stubbornly.
"Well how was I supposed to know?" She yelled to him.
"You guys cut it out." Ava said trying to stop the fight.
"How do you guys even know each other?" Susanna asked.
"Well… umm we known each other since when we were little. We were enemies." Halie told them as she saw Bradin walking into a room guessing it was his.
"Oh!" Ava said looking a little shocked that bradin wasn't going after a girl like Halie.
"Man, I didn't think that bradin has a girl as an enemy." Jay said walking in the house from surfing fortwo full hours.
"Really? Does he have a lot of girlfriends?" Halie asked.
"Another, after another. We can't even keep track on how many girls he's been with since he moved to Playa Linda." Susanna laughed.
"Can I ask you a question?" Halie asked wanting to know why he was living in Playa Linda.
"Yea." Ava nodded.
"Why did he come here to Playa Linda? Halie asked.
"Oh, my sister, which is Bradin's mother, and her husband died in a flood trying to stop it." Ava told Halie trying to hold her tears in.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know." Halie said feeling a bit sorry for Bradin and everyone else.
