Chapter One

It was nine o clock. Bradin Westerly had been woken up by his Aunt Ava.

"Bradin! Sleepyhead! Wake up! You have a surf lesson at ten, remember?"

"Alright, alright. I'm up Aunt Ava."

"That's the spirit!"

It had only been about 2 months since Bradin, Nikki, and Derrick were living with their Aunt Ava because of their parent's death. Bradin hopped out of bed, put some clothes on, and headed downstairs. When he got there Nikki and Johnny were eating some breakfast, Jay was on the couch reading the sports section, and Aunt Ava and Susannah were getting ready for a summer fashion show. Bradin popped a pop tart in the toaster, waited for it to toast, and then sat down next to Nikki. It was a chocolate frosted pop tart, his favorite.

"So, Nik, how's Cameron?" Bradin asked.

"What do you mean, how is he? We're just friends!"

"Oh.. Right. Forgot about that."

"Well I do think he's cute and all, but he'd never like me."

"Of course he'd like you Nikki!" Susannah butted in.

"I don't think so.. ever since that Amber girl came here she can't get his hands off him."

"But you have something Amber doesn't."

"What's that?"

"You're smart, you're sweet, beautiful, you're fun to be around, you can make anyone laugh. Nikki, you're a very special girl and if Cameron can't see that then it's his loss."

"But I just wanna be his girlfriend. I think he's the one."

"Then go for it Nikki! I know you can do it! You two look adorable together!"

"Thanks, Susannah."

"You're welcome sweety. You know you can talk to me about anything."

"Why don't you call Cameron up and see if he wants to hang out today?" Ava said.

"I'm sure he'd say yes." Bradin added.

"Alright, I'll call him. Just let me finish my breakfast first, okay?" Nikki said laughing.

"I'm gonna head out to my lesson now, Aunt Ava. It's about ten." Bradin said.

"Alright." She replied. "Have fun!"

"Thanks!"

"Come to the shop when you're done surfing mate!" Jay said in his heavy Australian accent.

After that, Jay left the house and headed over to the shop. Nikki finished her breakfast. Then she picked up the phone and dialed Cameron's number. After the third ring, he answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Cam.. it's Nikki."

"Oh hey Nikki."

"I was wandering if you wanted to hang out, go to the beach or something?"

"Yeah that sounds like fun."

"Cool. So like around lunchtime do you wanna come over? You can have lunch here."

"That sounds great Nikki. I can't wait."

"Cya!"

"Bye."

"So how'd it go?" Susannah asked.

"Great! He said he couldn't wait!"

"That's great sweety! It sounds to me that this boy really likes you!"

"You really think so?"

"Of course! Are you gonna tell him you like him today? I mean, you don't have to. It's your choice."

"I don't know. I kinda want to.. but I don't know what he's gonna say."

"Just follow your heart hunny."

"Thanks. I think I'll tell him."

"You're welcome. Good luck today! Not that you need it."

"Aunt Ava, is it okay if Cameron has lunch here?"

"No problem Nikki."

"Great. Thanks Aunt Ava."

"You're welcome."
