Jessica Stanely's black jeep pulled up outside the Swan's family home early on Saturday morning, fully loaded with everything needed for the girl's two month vacation. Bella jumped into the backseat of the range rover beside Rosalie Hale, the school's heart-throb. Her golden blonde hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, the ends falling over her thin shoulders. "Let's get this summer started" her thin lips stretched into a smile. Rose was part of every guy's fantasy in school with her sparkling green eyes, high cheekbones and pointed chin. Unfortunately for them Rose was off the market since her boyfriend Luke Adams came onto the scene. "Get driving Jess I can't wait to leave this town behind" Bella moaned from the backseat, buckling in her seatbelt.
Jessica hit the gas and they started the five hour drive to Tavern Lake, Michigan. Jessica was the only one of them to have her own car, her dad loaded her with gifts feeling guilty for abandoning her and forcing her to live with her forgetful grandmother. He was in the U.S Navy and always positioned away from home. Her mother died when she was young so she had nowhere else to go. Jessica is quite short, but her voluminous curly hair and outgoing personality make her seem bigger than she is. She is captain of the Crawford high soccer team and known for her fiery temper on and off the field.
In the passenger seat was Alice, singling along to the radio. She was the schools sweetheart, always managing to wrap everyone around her little finger. Huge sunglasses were perched on the top of her heart shaped face her small brown eyes were evenly spaced under perfectly trimmed eyebrows, her plump lips were stained pick to match her summers dress. Her shortly cropped black hair showed of her selection of ear piercings.
Five hours later the car pulled to a stop outside the large iron gates connected to huge stone walls that surrounded the property. Bella opened the passenger door and jumped down onto the gravel which crunched under her weight. She walked up to the gates and entered the passcode to open them revealing the huge white lake house, nothing had changed since the last year she'd been here. The white panelled house had several windows on both levels, with a brown tiled roof. It was secluded among trees with the back of the house having an up-close lake view. It had turrets, gables, dormers, balconies, a huge front porch, and free-standing garage. The car pulled up behind Bella the wheels crunching on the gravel.
The others joined Bella on the wooden porch, their mouths open in awe "I knew your family were rich, but this is a whole new level" Rosalie admired. Bella turned the brass key in the front door that was big enough to accommodate a family of elephants. The scent of lavender hit the girls upon stepping into the grand entrance. The foyer had polished wooden floors and an ancient banister that curved up toward a bright second story balcony. Family portraits and other scenic pictures hung from every crisp white wall. Above the girls heads hung a shining chandelier that looked like it costed more than Jessica's car. No one spoke for a minute, each to busy taking in their new home for the next two months.
"Whoa" Jessica spoke her blue eyes popping out of her head "your grandparents must be loaded". A blush creeped up Bella's cheeks as she walked into the marble topped kitchen brightly lit by the glass sliding doors facing out onto the lake. The view was outstanding but that's not what caught the girl's eyes, outside on the beach stood a group of boys playing soccer on the sand. "Oh my talk about yummy" Alice drooled walking out onto the back deck to get a better view. "I call dibs on red shorts" Bella called her eyes transfixed on the tall brunette showing off his soccer skills to his friends. His body was toned and tanned with muscular arms that were gripping the ball showing off his muscles. Unfortunately Bella couldn't see his face from such a distance. "Not fair I wanted him" Jessica moaned, "too late" Bella shoved her playfully.
The girls spent the next two hours unpacking their belongings and calling dibs on the many bedrooms available upstairs. They each picked a room on the west side of the house, five other bedrooms lay empty on the east side. Bella walked into her usual bedroom from previous summers spent here with her family. Everything stood the same, the clean white walls decked in harry potter posters, a twin bed and a desk full with books from her childhood. Sliding closets were built in opposite the bed, and a thin purple caret lay in the centre of the room to match the purple comforter spread over her bed.
Bella dropped her suitcase on the bed and began unpacking her belongings. She didn't notice Rosalie in the doorway until she heard a light cough. Looking up Bella smiled "What's up?" Rosalie looked nervous her eyes staring at anything but Bella "nothing" she hesitated. "You sure?" Bella could tell she was lying. Rosalie ignored her and flopped down onto the twin bed tapping the empty space beside her. Bella sat down, the bed creaked with the extra weight, "better lay of them burgers" Rosalie joked. "Oh don't worry this summer my diet will consist of vodka and the odd bowl of cereal". The girls laughed, they'd been best friends since elementary school and shared everything. It wasn't until middle school that they met Alice and Jessica.
"So which room have you chosen?" Bella asked once she caught her breath again. "The one directly opposite you and beside Alice" Rosalie replied. At this stage Alice and Jessica had joined them having finished unpacking. "Ohhhhh" Bella winced "bad choice these rooms aren't very sound proof, you sure you want to be sharing a wall with Ms Boy Crazed" Bella joked.
"Hey I'm not that bad" Alice piped up from the doorway. "Please no one wants to hear you and your new boy moaning" Jessica joined in on the teasing. "Shut up" Alice laughed her cheeks slightly reddening. "Thanks again for letting us stay here" Rosalie tried to change the subject saving Alice from further embarrassment. "Not like it was going to be used by anyone else" Bella laughed.
"True, but I'm afraid we'll make a mess, I mean everything so perfect".
"You better clean up your mess or I'll whoop you ass" Bella replied. The others joined in laughing. "I'm just so thankful it's just us for the next two weeks" Jessica sighed laying down on the bed closing her eyes to relax. "Well us and those cute football guys" Alice sighed clearly still thinking about red shorts and his friends. "I don't mind them, as long as it's not my idiot brother and his friend" Bella piped up from beside Alice. "Agreed" everyone said together smiling at the summer ahead of them.
Little did the girls no Bella's idiot brother and his four friends were an hour away from the Lake house. It really was going to be a summer to remember.
