Allison Cameron loved going to the lake. She had been to the lake every year with her next door neighbor, Amber. Their families always went for a month at the end of the summer.
Amber and Allison couldn't be separated. They became neighbors when Allison had moved in next door nine years ago. They were now sixteen years old and were about to go to the lake for the first time by themselves.
Allison and Amber had much in common. Besides nature and the lake, they loved the smell of rain and playing soccer in it. They loved to ride bikes together, and because Amber was an only child, Allison loved pretending that Amber was part of the family.
Amber was sleeping over Allison's house this night before leaving. It was a sentimental night; A night that marked the end of relying on parents and the beginning of their month of freedom.
"Are you excited Ally?" Amber asked while lounging at the head of Allison's bed eating from a pint of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough cream.
"Of course," Allison replied from the opposite end of the bed eating her own ice cream.
Allison was the realistic one of the two. When Amber wanted to stay up all night to study for a test, Allison reasoned that sleep was more important than the few details they might not study.
"But you aren't showing it," Amber whined.
"I am excited," Allison stated mater-of-factly, "here, I'll show it."
Allison got up and found her suitcase from her closest. She opened her drawers and started pulling all of her clothes out. She sorted everything into piles. Deciding exactly which clothes she wanted to take.
"This is how you show your excitement? You show me how you haven't packed yet and then dump everything out on your bed and sort?"
"I wanted you to help me pack. You have a good eye for fashion and know what would make us look cute. Besides are parents aren't going to be here. There are bound to be some cute guys that we can hit on."
"Okay."
The two girls spent hours deciding exactly which shorts, t-shirts, bathing suits, and shoes to bring.
"What about this?" Allison held up her shirt from a camp she went to at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital a few years back.
"No. You're not going to scare everyone away with your nerd shirt. I know that you want to be a doctor, but you have to at least give a first impression that you are at least a little cool."
The girls finished packing and went to sleep in the early hours of the morning. They were determined to make this summer, the best one ever.
So this is only chapter one. I have this story planned out, so hopefully I won't run out of inspiration like my other one. (I haven't given up on that, just waiting for ideas.
