Eddie's POV:
My dad had called me to England so that I could bond with him before the new school year. I would be attending some school he was the headmaster of, and I would be staying at Anuba house or something like that. I wasn't looking forward to it. I wanted to stay with my friends and school in America. It was like the person who ignored me my whole life was just asking me to come back, all of a sudden out of nowhere. It was unfair.
I'm at the airport, waiting for Eric to show up. He said he'd be here at exactly 5:00 p.m to pick me up, and it was already 5:23 p.m. I sit down on a dirty airport chair and start to play temple run on my iPhone 4. I see some old guy coming towards me and realize it's Eric, my dad.
"Oh, Eddison, I'm so glad to see you! Sorry for being so late, I was stuck in traffic."
"It's Eddie, Eric. So where are we going? Your house, a hotel?" I remark wheeling my luggage out of the airport.
"Okay Eddie. We are going to my house. One of my students, Amber Millington is your age and she has offered to let you come to a party she is having today. She said some of them are camping out there in an RV, so I thought you'd like to go. Would you?"
"Eric, you can't just send me to someone's RV when I don't even know them. Plus, you said she was a girl, I like to hang with boys."
"Well, there will be five girls and three boys. These children are the people who will be on your house later this year."
"Fine, I'll go Eric." I mumble, wanting to be done with this conversation.
Eric said it would be an hour long drive, so I knocked off when we got in the car. We arrived at the beach and I saw the RV. It was pretty first class. I jumped out of the car with the suitcase I would be using for the rest of today and tomorrow and left. Dad told me the people were having a bon fire, and he gave me Amber's number.
I walked up to the bon fire with the suit case and saw a blond girl jump up.
"You must be Eddie. These are my friends, Jerome, Joy, Alfie, Willow, Mara, Michael, Fabian, KT, Patricia, and my boyfriend, Adam. By the way, KT is from America too." Amber said pointing to everyone in order.
"Hey guys. I'm Eddie."
"Finally another dude." Jerome said smiling at Alfie.
"Hey, what about me?" Fabian said.
"Your not a dude. You see, dudes have no feminine qualities and you are a geekish, feminine person, not a dude." Jerome joked.
"Okay Eddie, you can leave your luggage over there next to all those bags over there. After you do that, we'll start the scary stories." Amber said. "Okay, who wants to go first?"
"Me, pick me!" Alfie shouted like a little kid.
"If you start again about the story of the dead kittens, I will kill you." Patricia said to Alfie with a death stare.
Jerome's POV:
I laughed at Patricia. She was so funny. I hated her, but also loved having her around. Not in a boyfriend, girlfriend way, more like a sister and brother way. She knew it too. Everyone knew that if we dated, pigs would be flying. The new kid looked pretty cool. Maybe he should date Patricia. They both had that rebel attitude, but Patricia had way more.
Patricia's POV:
Eddie was so cute! I would never admit it, but he looked amazing. I had never felt this way, but I liked it. No. Dating is a mistake. It causes way too much grief and sorrow. Why am I even thinking this, it's not like I'm going to date him...
