Chapter 4: And Her Name is McKenzie

Hello! I'm back and I really hope you enjoy this chapter! I think you will. Thank you to my reviewers and readers, it means so much! I hope you enjoy!

Brady's Point of View

I was awaken to the feeling of a pillow being bashed at me. I opened my eyes to see Skylar with a pillow over my head. Wait why is she in my room?

"Why are you in my room?" I echoed my thoughts. I looked over and saw that it was 9:45. Usually I wake up at the crack of dawn to surf, but after my fail yesterday, I'm not going to go back out. For now anyway.

"I have been knocking on your door yelling Brady for 15 minutes." Skylar answered.

"Why?" I asked sitting up. I noticed that she was already dressed, and my sister is never dressed until about noon during the summer.

"Because I have friends coming over and I need you to leave them alone." She answered me with sass in her voice.

"Why?" I asked again. I could tell she was getting mad, which gave me joy. I'm her little brother, of course I like to mess with her,

"Because they are both your age! Now you better stay in here. Got it?" Skylar threatened. I nodded mentally smirking. She looked satisfied and dropped the pillow on my head, then left my room, slamming my door as she went.

I am defiantly not just gonna sit up here while she has 2 girls my age in the house. No way! Maybe mystery girl will be here? I doubt that. I mean how strange would it be if the one girl I want to meet happens to be my sister's new BFF.

I quickly got dressed in my white t-shirt with a plaid button up shirt over top, buttons undone. Along with my favorite cargo shorts with my bright yellow converse. I fixed my hair and was down stairs by 10. A new record.

I walked down the steps to see my mom, Luke, Skylar, and two new girls sitting on my couch. Skylar saw me and scowled.

"Good morning Brady." My mom greeted me, I smiled but I couldn't get my eyes off of the brunette. As I looked harder I realized she was not a stranger to me. She was my mystery girl. Then I defiantly couldn't stop staring and apparently neither could Luke.

"Are these your friends?" I finally spoke taking my eyes off the mystery girl.

"Yes this is Shelby." Sky started pointing to the one with dirty blonde hair, darker than my own.

"And this is McKenzie, but we call her Mack." She continued pointing to my mystery girl. They both waved at me.

So her name is McKenzie. But her nickname is Mack. Mack and Brady? That even sounded right.

Luke came over and pulled me off the couch and into the kitchen.

"Ok which one do you want?" Luke asked me once we were out of ear shot.

"What do you mean?" I asked very confused.

"I'm talking about the girls out there. I saw you staring at them."

I blushed and laughed a little. I could tell that the look on my face gave Luke the answer to his own statement.

"It's McKenzie isn't it?"

I could feel myself blush harder. Just hearing her name made my stomach get butterflies.

"I knew it! Ok you can have her while I get Shelby." Luke started to walk out when I grabbed his hoodie.

"Wait a minute little dude. You can't go out with Shelby. She is way too old for you."

"So you want to date Mack and she is way out of your league."

"Haha." I fake laughed shoving him into the living room to find the girls walking upstairs. I was about to follow before Skylar stopped me.

"Don't even think about it."

"What?" I asked shoving her hand away from my chest.

"You and Mack. She has a boyfriend you know." I felt my heart shatter.

"Of course you didn't."

"Look I don't even like her that way ok." I lied. I'm pretty good at lying too!

"You better not! Now leave us alone." Skylar stomped back upstairs.

I slumped down on the couch and took a short nap. I awoke to the sound of footsteps and my sister yelling

"Bye Mack!" I bolted right awake and followed her to the door.

"Hey Mack." I stuttered. She whipped around to face me.

"Oh hey Brady!" She knew my name. I about died inside.

"How do you know my name?"

"I heard your mom say it this morning."

"Oh right duh. So how long have you been living here?"

"Um about 3 years."

"Cool. Do you surf?"

"Nope." My face fell

"Really why not?"

"I have no interest in it and no one to teach me."

"I'll teach you!" I blurted out before I had a chance to think.

"I mean if you want!" I added feeling embarrassed.

"You know how to surf?"

"Yeah! You should come watch me sometime. If you want to I mean you don't have to.." I blabbered.

"Sure! How about today at 5. And then I'll give you an answer on that surfing lesson."

"Ok see you then." She left and I watched her. I could feel my heart repair itself.

Maybe this could be the start of a wonderful friendship.

Or maybe even more?

I hope you enjoyed! I liked this chapter and please tell me what you think! Next update tomorrow!
