Hey, Kate here. This is my first fan fic, so I will need a lot of suggestions on where to take this. I already basically know where it's gonna go but it's always good to have different opinions. So plz read and tell me what you think. So here goes.

My name is Summer Theriault. I live with y sister and brother in Tulsa, Oklahoma, ever since my parents died in a car crash. Here I met some friends and became part of their "gang", some of them became more than friends to me, but lettme start from the top. "Come on, Summer, stop crying." my sister said in a cold voice. "crying ain't gonna bring mom and dad back!" It was the day of my parent's funeral, how could I stop crying? It was only a week ago mom and dad had gone on a business trip to Florida. On their way to the airport there was a horrible accident and both of them were killed. I would never get over this, not when I didn't even get a change to say goodbye. I stared at my clueless brother. He had no idea what was going on. He is only 5 years old and doesn't understand that mommy and daddy aren't coming back from their trip. It's only me, him and Rain now. Rain is my older sister. She's 18 and in collage. I'm 14 years old. I'm a sophomore in high school. I am smaller than the rest of the sophomores in my school because I was moved up one year in grade school. I skipped 7th grade. God, I never want to go back to school, I thought suddenly. How would I face all those faces staring at me with such pity when I couldn't take it now? "Summer!?" Rain said angrily. "Snap out of it!" I always daydream and get lost in my own thoughts. My boyfriends Kevin says it's because I'm so deep, I think so too but Rain lives reality. Not me though, it's like I live in my own world. Where everything is so perfect until someone snappes me back to reality. The harsh, cold world of reality. "Is everybody gone yet?" I asked Rain clueless like I've been asleep for the last 3 hours. "Yea" she said. "Let's go home now. Come on, Jake, we're going home." She reached for Jake's hand but he pulled away quickly. "NO!" he screamed. I guess he was caught up then. Uh-oh here comes the pain in the neck Jake. Jake when he's miserable. Nothing like my sweet, grinning-all-the-time brother. "Jake." Rain said impatiently. "I don't have time for this, Let's Go!" she snapped. "Rain, don't yell, you're only scarin' him" I said slowly. "You go wait in the car, I'll get him to come." She nodded. I always had an easy going way with Jake. With my sweet talk, I could get him to do anything. It came in really handy when I wanted to sneak out in the middle of the night or something. I usually bribed him with candy or gum. "Come on, Jakie" I said as cheerfully as I could. "Let's go home now and we'll both take a nice long nap, k?" "NO!" He yelled again. I had no choice but to play the candy card. Hen Jake was crabby he could really be a pain.
"Oh, but I think some taffy might be hiding under you're pillow. Don't you at least want to go see what kind it is?" I asked slowly.
"N." he started to say but when I turned around and offered a piggy back ride, he couldn't resist. He nodded and hopped on my back. "Let's go home, Jakie" I said.
"Hmmm" he yawned. The ride home was long and very quite. I just rested my head on the back of my seat, my eyes closed and my seat belt tightened properly. I turned back every once in a while to see if Jake was still wearing his seat belt. He had fallen asleep on the back seat. It hadn't been long enough since the accident to feel comfortable in a car yet. I was nervous and nauseous the whole time. But I knew Rain was a good driver. We finally made it home safely. I carried Jake into out huge house, which was quite without all the jokes my dad used to make and my mom's joyful voice. It was too silent. Rain was carrying in the food people had given us. I helped put them into the refrigerator. When we were done, we plopped down on the couch and I turned on the tv. We musta sat there for over an hour or so. But I wasn't really playing attention to the tv. Neither was Rain. I was thinking about what we would do know. I knew she was too. Mom and dad were both gone. We had no one except each other. Both our grandparents had died and we had no aunts or uncles. We only had a great-aunt but she was too old to take care of us anyway. She had a daughter but we had never really gotten to know her. What were we going to do? We were fine money wise. I guess you could call us rich. We didn't live that way; we just have a lot of savings. But what would we do? Sure it was summer now but school starts again in fall. Rain was old enough to take care of us and she had already agreed to but what about collage? Man, were we screwed!

Anyways, that's all for now. So should I keep on writing? I really need some ideas whether I should keep on writing or not, or where I should take this. Plz R&R!!!!
