Chapter 8- Eliza's Start of Something New

Many years has gone by and now Eliza has grown up to be a beautiful young woman who rules the school just like her dad did when he was young. She just turned 16 and her parents surprise her with a new blue convertible that she's been dreaming for ages and she jumped for joy as she kissed her parents and thank them for the present before telling her a big news "We're gonna have another baby" and together they all hugged "This is the best birthday ever. Thank you mom and dad" she said to both her parents before retreating to the car and drove towards Michael's house.

Michael wasn't expecting her till noon but was surprise to see her driving a blue convertible with a big smile on her face. "Hey Michael. Look what I got" and showed the car to him and he grinned "Wow, a new car. Let me guess your parents told you the news did they?" and she said "Yeah….hey how did you know?" Michael answered "Because your mom and my mom are best friends and they share everything together. I heard your mom told my mom that she was pregnant yesterday. Congratulations. You're gonna be a big sister soon"

Eliza smiled and hugged him "Thank dude. You're the best. Hey wanna hitch a ride with me to school on my new ride?" she ask him with a big grin on his face. "Sure…lets go" and went in the car and together they went to school.

In school everyone greeted them both. You see Eliza rule the school since she is the captain of the basketball team. She was the first girl to be made captain ever in history of East High basketball legend. They are in their Junior year and a couple of days away until Summer vacation let out. They were quite excited as they've all decided to get a job during the Summer at Lava Springs, Michael's dad Ryan owned the country club now after his parents passed away a few years back in a freak accident.

The days went by quickly and Summer was finally here. Eliza picked up Michael from his house and went to Lava Springs to get an interview with the manager Mr. Fulton who called them a few hours back informing them they were requested to come. So they drove happily towards Lava Springs.

When they've arrived, Mr Fulton was waiting for them at the Concierge together with Charles son, Andrew. "Welcome Ms Bolton and Mr Evans to Lava Springs. If you come with me I'll show you around the place and I will assign your jobs." and took a walk and showed them the golf course, which was full of people playing miniature golf.

Next they went in the kitchen, and there are a few cooks and kitchen helpers there. After the tour they stopped at the swimming pool where there were many people swimming and sunbathing. Then Mr Fulton said "Ms. Bolton, you are assigned to be a lifeguard here. Let me show you where your locker room is. Come with me" leaving Michael checking out a random girl sunbathing.

He the recognized the blond girl and found out its his own cousin, Tess. She was wearing Chanel sunglasses and drinking Iced Tea served by the lifeguard Adrian. "Here you go Ms Baylor. Iced Tea just like you requested." he said as he placed the drink on the table beside her "Is there anything else you would like me to bring for you Ms Baylor?" he ask again "No. That is all. Thank you Adrian" and he left as she took the drink and sipped it a little bit and placed it back on the table and continue sunbathing.

Beside her is her followers that Michael would always like to call the Tess-wannabes. He glared at her and looked away. Then he sees Eliza wearing the lifeguard's swimming suit as she waved at him and he waved back smiling at her. Then Mr Fulton came up to him and said "You come with me. Your father wants a word with you" and Michael followed Mr Fulton towards the building and into his dad's office. "Hey dad. What do you wanna talk to me about?" he ask his dad "Oh hey son. Now, since you and Eliza will be here this Summer. I want you to do something for me."

Michael's forehead crinkled "What is it? " he ask his dad "As you know your cousin will be here this whole Summer too" Ryan said as he look at his son "Yeah, then what's he problem" Michael ask "Well, there will be a friend of mine. His son will be here this whole Summer too as he will be working par time here. I want you to keep an eye on them both and make sure your cousin doesn't do anything stupid. Got it?" and Michael saluted "Yes sir." and walked out of the office and into the music room where he always has been since he was five. He would sit on the piano chair and practice playing the piano (AN: remember he is Kelsi's son) and he started playing a song his mom once showed him during last Christmas.

After he finished the song, he looked up from the piano keys to see Eliza's bright blue eyes staring at him "Oh hey Eliza. When did you get here?" Eliza ignored the question and said "Wow, what was that song you were playing. It sounded awesome. Can you play again and this time can I sing?" and he nodded as he played the song again and passed Eliza the song sheet as she started singing You Are The Music In Me.

At another side of the country club, Daniel Thomas was exploring the place when he heard the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. He followed the voice and listened closely as he arrived in front of the Music Room. He opened the door and saw the most beautiful girl with bright blue eyes singing her hearts content to the rhythm of the music a guy with a blue hat was playing on the piano.

After the song was over he clapped as he sees the surprised faces from both of the girl and the guy. "Wow, that was awesome" and clapped "Uhm, thanks." Eliza said blushing "No, thank you for singing. You have the kost beautiful voice I've ever heard." he said and Eliza blushed even more. "Oh sorry for being rude. I'm Daniel. You must be Michael right?" the guy ask and Michael shook Daniel's hand as he said "Yeah. Oh before I forget this is Eliza Bolton. Eliza meet Daniel Thomas. He will be working here this Summer with us" and Eliza said "It's nice to meet you Daniel" and rushed out of the room "Excuse me" she yelled out. "Wow, she sure is something isn't she?" Daniel said after quite a long silence. "Yeah. So have you see where you'll be working?" and Daniel nodded "Yeah I did" and Michael said "Good. Now I think its better you go. Don't want Fulton to be angry with you on your first day do you?" and walked out expecting Daniel to follow him which he did as they were assigned to kitchen duty.

Daniel worked and couldn't get his concentration as he remembers Eliza's beautiful features. Her flawless skin, her blue eyes sparkles like a diamond and her chestnut hair. She was beautiful. He had admit it. He has fallen in lobe with Eliza. Who knew this is the start of something new for the both of them as that Summer will changed their lives forever.

Everyday, their friendship blossoms into something more than friendship itself. They would spent every single day together of the Summer together. In the middle of the Summer, he kissed her in a golf course and ask her something that has been bugging him for quite some time now "Eliza, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?" and she nodded and they kissed but their kiss were interrupted when the sprinklers went on.

He had an idea and brought her up and together they danced right there on the golf course having the time of their life forgetting someone was enviously watching their every move.

During the talent show, they both sang a duet that was once sung by Eliza's parents. The title of the song is called Everyday. Troy and Gabriella was there and witness their daughter and together they said "Our daughter now has her own start of something new." as Gabriella linked arms with Troy who watched the two couples singing on the stage together with the rest of the staff. Kelsi who was at the audience sang along and the whole audience sang along too. It was the start of something new for Eliza after all as fate have met her with someone truly special that Summer at Lava Springs.
