Chapter 2

Nina and Eddie walk into the school's parking lot when school is over. Eddie walks over to his 2013 Camaro and looks at Nina. "You need a ride?"

Nina nods and Eddie's mouth opens in shock. "You're a senior and you don't have a car!?"

Nina gets into Eddie's Camaro and sighs. "It's just my Gran and I. We have enough money to get by, but not enough to buy me a car."

Eddie nods in an understanding way. "What happened to your parents?"

Nina tears up and Eddie gasps. "Nina, I'm sorry! I didn't mean-"

Nina shakes her head. "It's fine. My parents and I were in a car accident when I was a month old. They were going out for their anniversary. A drunk driver ran a red light and hit us head-on. My parents died from injuries and blood loss, and I didn't have a single scratch. I blame myself sometimes."

Eddie wipes Nina's tears. "It's okay, Nina. I'll be here for you. You're my best friend. Where do you live?"

Nina smiles weakly. "In the house beside yours. I saw you swimming yesterday. Nice six pack."

Eddie blushes. "Thanks."

LINEBREAK

Eddie pulls up in front of Nina's house. He doesn't want her to leave so he asks her a question. "Hey, Nina. Do you wanna go swimming?"

Nina smiles. "Sure, Eddie."

Eddie lets Nina go into her house to get her swimsuit and then they head over to Eddie's house to go swimming.

LINEBREAK

"Cannon ball!" Eddie screams while jumping off of the diving board and landing in the middle of the pool, completely soaking Nina.

Nina laughs and jumps in after Eddie. She lands right beside him, making a bigger splash than he did.

Eddie chuckles. "I'll race you to the other side!"

"You're on!"

Nina and Eddie get into their starting position. "One! Two! Three! Go!" Eddie chants while kicking off of the steps to get a head start.

Nina laughs at him and speeds up. She catches up to him, pushes him back, and touches the wall. "I win!" she yells in triumph.

Eddie catches up to her and leans against the wall in the corner. "That's not fair! You pushed me back!"

"I believe the lady won fair and square."

Nina and Eddie look up to see Eddie's dad, Eric, standing in their "Splash Zone" as Nina and Eddie started to call it.

"Thanks, dad," Eddie says with a laugh.

Nina whispers something in Eddie's ear and he smirks. Eddie gets out of the pool and pushes his dad in.

Eric falls into the pool and pops back up almost immediately. "Eddie! This means war!"

Eric starts to splash Nina and Eddie and they splash him back. After an intense splashing war, Eric gives up.

Nina and Eddie high five. "Yeah!" Eddie screams. "Team Nina and Eddie wins! In your face, dad!"

Hey, guys! I decided to include Eddie's dad and a mention of Nina's Gran in this chapter! Gran is the same and Eddie's dad is the same, except he's a little younger and more laid back!
