Hey guys! I'm completely new to writing so please don't judge too harshly.. I love reading and want to try out my hand at writing some stories. I've got ideas floating around in my head so I plan to try and slap them down on paper. Please review and give me comments or constructive criticism.. See you at the bottom!
Chapter 1
I can't believe I'm really done with high school. Today starts my first official day of summer before college. It seems so surreal. Yesterday feels like the first day of ninth grade, yet here I am, going down the road with my best friends, Alice and Rosalie, on our way to Panama City for some summer beach fun. Our parents pitched in and got us a penthouse suit right on the beach as a surprise graduation present. We will be staying in a 5-star resort for 3 whole months with nothing to do but tan and relax.
"Hey Bella! Snap out of it and pay attention. We are only two hours away from the beach! Wake up and help us with the directions," Alice yells while shaking my shoulders.
Alice shakes me out of my inner musings and I look at the scenery around us. We are clearly getting closer to Panama. Everywhere you look there are road signs telling you which way to go, as if everyone's final destination will be Panama City Beach.
I look over at my two friends and realize the three of us couldn't be any more different. Rosalie is driving the car while her long blond hair flows through the wind due to our shiny red convertible. She is tanned and thin with her light blue eyes and red lips. She is exactly what people would call "model perfect". Rose has the most expensive car, the most fashionable clothes, and the perfect football-star boyfriend. She also has the personality to back up the looks. Rose is fierce and knows what she wants, though it can sometimes be mistaken as her being shallow. She is the one person I know will be there the second a friend needs someone though.
Alice can barely be broken down into words. She is energetic, wild, loud, slightly bossy, but completely wonderful. Alice is the fashion expert and always knows the way to act, what to wear, and who to be seen with in every situation. She is short and tiny with her spiky black hair and bright green eyes. She is always the center of everything, and takes to planning every big party or event that arrives. Alice is always there for friends in her own little way, even though you may not feel her support immediately.
And then there is me. I'm the plain Jane of our group. I have boring brown hair and eyes. I am thin but I don't have the curves like Alice and Rosalie do. I am not tan or spunky, and I love to simply curl up with a good book and read. Both of my best friends tell me all the time how I don't see myself clearly, but I think they are delusional.
Bump, click. Bump, click. Bump, click.
"Umm Rose, what is that sound?" I asked as Alice and I looked around confused. We aren't on a bumpy road, so we have no idea what could be causing the bumping and clicking sound.
"Guys I think something is wrong with the car. We are gonna have to pull over and hope someone can come soon to fix the car," Rose replies as she carefully pulls off onto the side of the road.
"Rose there isn't a car company anywhere close to here. We will be here all day."
"I know that Alice, but what else are we going to do? I don't know what's wrong with it, much less how to fix the problem."
"We have to be checked in within 3 hours, and we are still 2 hours from the resort! We are gonna end up losing the penthouse."
I walk away from them to try and concentrate on finding a number to call for help with the car. As the girls are bickering and I am looking for a phone number, a car pulls over to the side of the road right behind us. In the car are three of the most gorgeous men I have ever seen. The largest one gets out and walks over to us, while the other two stay in their car and watch us through their sunglasses.
"Do you ladies need some help? I'm always fixing up cars, so I can take a look and see if I can get you three gorgeous ladies back on the road."
I watch Alice and Rose smile and giggle as I get into the backseat of the car, before Rose steps up to answer him. "I think we could use a little bit of help since you seem so willing."
Alice joined me in the car as we watch Rose flirt with the big handsome man fixing up our car. I watch Alice glance into the rearview mirror before she blushes and looks down at her lap. I am amazed by whatever just occurred in front of me. Rose is never one to giggle, and since when does Alice blush and become shy. These guys are absolute magicians or something to bring out a side in my friends I've never seen before.
"Well girls, I think everything is running fine now. My name is Emmett. If you have any more car troubles just give me a call," he states as he grabs Rosalie's arm and writes his number on her palm.
"Well I'm Rose, and the two in the car are Bella and Alice. We are heading to Panama City Beach. If you guys happen to be in the area anytime soon you should swing by and meet up with us," Rose mentions as she blushes and writes her own number on his hand.
We watch as Rose and Emmett get into their respective cars, and Alice and I are amazed. Rose is not one to flirt with other guys while she has a boyfriend. Rose simply stares straight away and cranks the car, as we drive away with a final wave to the three mysterious guys that helped us tremendously.
So? Please review and let me know what you think. I will love all reviews and criticisms given! After all, I can only get better right? I have a pretty hefty school schedule, so I will be writing when I can, but I will try to have a chapter up at least once a week. Thanks for taking the time to read and review!
