A/N: Thank you so much for reviewing the first chapter! Thanks to ocRM4eva, Soxbabe, Caitlin and Summerlander. I really appreciate your comments!
I'm really sorry I haven't updated in, like, a month, but I've been busy. I promise I'll try to update sooner now. Maybe sometime in the next week, but I just got back to school today, so no guarantees.
Chapter Two:Welcome to California
Sara lay on the beach, sunbathing and watching people surfing, playing volleyball, laughing and talking. She was wearing a white bikini that was her favorite, and showed off the most skin.
She watched a dark haired surfer pick up his board and run out of the water, done with surfing for the day. Then he disappeared, and a minute later she heard a voice behind her.
"Hey babe, what's up?" the guy asked.
"Do I know you?" Sara asked, disgusted.
"No, but you will soon," he replied.
Sara stood up and walked away from him. Why were guys always such jerks? Sara could think of barely any guys she had met worth even talking to. All the guys she had everdated had only wanted her because they thought she was hot, and she knew it.
She thought back to the party her friend Nicole had thrown last week. Some random guy had come up to her and started flirting with her. Obviously drunk, he ran his hand up her bare leg and tried to kiss her, but she had run away.
Sara was just waiting for the day a guy could prove her wrong, and actually be worth knowing, possibly even dating. She ran home to change, then called up her friend Amanda. Sara desperately needed an escape from her thoughts and was hoping Amanda might want to see Amanda.
Twenty minutes later Amanda and Sara met at the theatre. "Hey Sara, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see a movie or something."
"What, did a guy hit on you again or something?" Amanda asked, knowing her friend all too well.
"Well, yeah, but-"
"Why are you so annoyed when a guy hits on you? I mean, most girls actually like guys, and go out with them for more than one date."
"Yeah, but all the guys I've gone out with are pigs. All they care about is sex."
"They're teenage guys. Of course that's all they care about? And what's wrong with that?"
Sara sighed. "You wouldn't understand."
Nikki, Ava, Derek, Susannah and Johnny headed down to the beach for the afternoon. They set up a game of beach volleyball and a few other people joined them and Nikki headed off to sulk on her own. She was upset that no one seemed to care about their parents except for her.
As she walked down the beach, she noticed a girl sunbathing. She was wearing a white bikini and she had blond hair. A dark haired surfer seemed to be annoying her, as she ran away from him after about two sentences.
Nikki walked farther, walking closer to the houses lined up along the beach now and a blond girl who looked about her age smiled at her. She looked familiar, and Nikki was pretty sure she had met her when they had first moved in and some people had come over to say hello.
"Hi, my name's Samantha. What's your name?"
"Nikki."
"Didn't you just move into the house down there? The one where Ava, Susannah, Johnny and Jay all live?"
"No, I live in Kansas with my parents and my two brothers, Bradin and Derek. My brothers and I are just visiting our Aunt Ava for the summer. She lives in the house down there, so we're staying with her."
"Oh. That's cool. So I guess I'll see you around," the girl said.
"I guess so."
Nikki walked away and sat down in the soft sand, letting it sift through her fingers. She stared out at the waves and thought about her parents. She wished they were with her now.
"What do you think of the shop?" Jay asked Bradin, showing him around.
"It's pretty cool."
"So, Bradin, how would you like to learn how to surf?"
"I'm not really into surfing. You know, with my being from Kansas and all. Besides, do you really want to be teaching me when you have more important things to do?"
"Oh, I wouldn't be teaching you. Erica would."
"Erica?"
"Yeah. See the brunette girl outside?"
Bradin turned and his mouth dropped open. The girls long hair was flying in the wind, and she was wearing a bikini under a wetsuit. She was talking to two guys just outside the shop.
"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to learn. You know, since we're in California and all."
"I guess not," Jay replied, trying hard to suppress a laugh.
"Okay, great. I'll see you back at the house."
"Yeah, I'll tell Erica you'll be her new student."
"Uh, thanks."
"No problem," Jay replied with a grin.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter sucked, and if it's short, but I don't have much time to write. Please review!
