I mumbled rude things under my breath the entire way down the beach. I looked like one of them and it made me sick. I sighed when we caught a glimpse of the fire. I sighed and looked around. I saw Ava and when she saw us, she smiled and walked over. "Hey guys! I'm so glad you could come! That outfit looks great on you, Avery." She smiled at me.
"Thank you," I smiled a small smile back.
"Come on over and meet my family!" She smiled and pulled us all into their backyard. "Guys! This is the Donovan family. This is Amanda Donovan, Michael Donovan, and Avery Donovan. Guys, this is my family. Susannah Rexford, Johnny Durant, Jay Roberts, Erika Spalding, Nikki Westerly, Derrick Westerly...and...where's Bradin?" She muttered under her breath. "He must not be home yet. My nephew will be home soon." She smiled. "These are Nikki's good friends, Amber and Cameron."
"Hi, nice to meet you all," my mom smiled at them. I nodded as my mom got into conversation with them. I sighed and walked around the bond fire. I picked up a stick from the sand and tossed it in the fire. I sighed and looked around at all the unfamiliar faces. The girl and her friends were staring at me.
"So...you're new?" She asked me. I rolled my eyes and sighed. I nodded. "I was new at the beginning of the summer--" I cut her off.
"I heard," I muttered and kicked up some sand. I looked over and saw my mom glaring at me. I rolled my eyes and sighed. "How old are you?" I asked her and tried to get away from my mom's stare.
"Thirteen," she said. "This is Amber and Cameron...they're my age. My brother should be here soon. You two will probably get along great!" She smiled with a big smile. I rolled my eyes and shrugged.
"Whatever," I shrugged and sighed. I saw a small two people walking up the beach and figured it was this guy they kept talking about. I sighed and looked around. I decided to walk down to the water. I really didn't want to see this guy.
"I know how you feel," Nikki walked up next to me by the water.
"How could you even imagine how I feel right now? You aren't living my life," I sighed and splashed my feet in the water.
"Yes, yes, I can," she nodded. "Listen, I was the same way when we first moved here. I really missed my parents and I was mad because everything was different. I was convinced that I wasn't going to make friends here and I didn't want to make friends here. I did whatever I could to ignore people and be rude so that no one would want to be my friend. But then...I don't know...things got easier. And now I have the two best friends in the world and I love it here. Sure, I still miss Kansas and my parents a lot, but things have gotten better." She smiled a small smile. "And you can always talk to us...because we do understand...no matter how much you like it or not," she laughed lightly and I smiled a small smile.
"It's just tough...not living in Ohio anymore. I'm so different than everyone else here," I sighed and looked out at the water.
"I know how you feel--" we were cut off by my mom.
"Avery! Come and meet Bradin!" My mom yelled. My eyes grew wide. It couldn'tbe.
