"welcome to summer bay I think your going to love it here Bella" said sally. "I have liived here since I was 13" she finished breathing in the air like she had been gone for such along time. "what a thrill" bella said sitting next to her in the car. Bella had black hair blue eyes and a fit and skinny body. She gave sally a shy little smile. "so what are ric and cassie like" bella said changing the subject sally was bringing her to summer bay to live because her mother had died a year ago and her dad had taken up drinking because he couldn't handle a died wife and a daughter running around. Not that bella was a handful she mostly kept to herself after her mum died but her dad just went of the rails and like the child her was acting like her ran away leaveing bella behind without a second glance so bella was sent to live with her second cousin sally and her new husband brad her two foster children ric and cassie and her 5 year old daughter pippa. "well cassie is currently not living with us she is living in the city with her fiance macca" she said looking at the road ahead of her. "but she is only 16" bella said out loud to no one in particular. "yes well it was very awkward because cassie was dating ric at the time and well long story short ric caught cassie with macca and it became necercery for her to move out for awhile while ric got over it all and calmed down" she said with a frown on her face as if the memory of what happened with cas ric and macca really hurt her aunt sally. "so cas moved out and 2 months later she rings and says she is engaged and ric has forgiven her and moved on and its all right again thank god" she said with a laugh. "and ric he is still living with you guys then" bella said looking at sally. "yea he is still living there you will get along with him and you will like his 2 best friends maddie and luc maddie is so exsited she says she will finally have a someone to hang with who doesn't burp and fart all the time" sally said glancing at bella with a grin on her face bella returned the grin then retreated to look out at the passing beach. As they approached a building on bellas side of the car sally said "that's the diner" sally said pointing at the building. "ahhh the famous diner mum told me about this place" bella whispered and sally didn't hear her so she just kept talking. "so ill take you to get setled in ok and maddie said she will come over to meet you and get ready for the party at our place tonight" sally said. "party what party you didn't say anything about a party sally I don't have anything to wear for a party" bella said frantically. "you and maddie are gunna get along great" she said with a laugh then continued. "maddie said she would bring a few choices over for you because we didn't no if you had any party dress's" sally said still smiling. Bella sighed a sigh of relief "so its just family" she said after several seconds of silence. "mmm just family and a few friends" sally said with a look that told bella that this wasn't just a small welcome the new girl to the bay she new that when in the bay they do things big her mother had told her about weddings christenings and partys she had been too here in summer bay. People here weren't rich but when they had an event they did them right. So bella stayed silent untill the walked into the kitchen of the caravan park. When she walked in their was a squeal and a little blonde girl was hugging her around the necck then she was being dragged up the stairs "omg we don't have much time we have to get ready for tonight" the blonde that bella presumed was maddie said. So leaveing sally in the kitchen smiling at her neice settling in bella let maddie drag her up the stairs towards her new room.
