Summer Changes

Sorry I didn't update sooner. I was sailing in FL and wasn't near any computers.

Chapter 2: Summer Break

"Whew. I'm doing pretty well. I have already lost thirty pounds."

She had started only eating one meal a day and some days nothing at all. Her parents didn't know what she was doing. They thought that she was just working out and exercising. She never did eat breakfast, except sometimes on weekends. Breakfasts weren't hard to skip, but it took her a long time to work on lunches, but in the end she got it. The hardest part was when summer came around.

"Oh no thanks mom, I had a really big lunch. Can I go back to New York for summer break mom?"

"Sure honey no problem. Do you want to spend your whole summer there?"

"Yeah, could we rent a cottage at the old summer house estate?"

"Sure sweetheart, but we won't be able to come with you, you think you could handle things on your own. I mean you are fifteen now and do have your drivers permit. You think you could take the car without getting stopped by the police?"

"Yeah, sure thing mom!"

There was only a week left of school and she was already packing for her trip. She had been saving all of her money so her mom and dad wouldn't have to pay for much. She now weighed one hundred and thirty pounds. She had lost over fifty pounds. She had to say that she looked pretty good and she knew that no one would recognize her after all that she had changed. She knew it was going to be a long drive so she decided that whenever she was tired that she would stop at a rest stop and take a nap instead of renting a hotel room, but she would only stop if it were one of the guarded rest stops.

"O.K. mom, dad, love you. I'll see you guys at the end of summer break. Don't worry about me and I'll give you a call once a week to give you a heads up."

"Kay dear, please be careful that is all I ask of you right now. Have fun too."

"Will do mom. Will do."

With that she left for her relaxing and invigorating trip to New York.

"Ah. This should be really relaxing for me. I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they find out who I am. That is reward enough."

Lately she had been buying clothes that fit her new figure and showed off her newfound curves. She was going to show the people back home who she really was. The one thing she really wanted but wasn't ready to admit to herself was that she wanted to meet a guy and maybe even have a relationship over this summer. She had changed so much for this summer. Just waiting and working for her own self-confidence. She no longer beat people up and was very patient and generous.

Over the three days it took her to reach New York she only slept seven hours and twelve minutes. Though her mom told her not to speed she did. She was very anxious to get there, plus she had a police scrambler on the car, so she new when to slow down.

"Hello, uhm I have a reservation for Sandra Keller for five weeks."

"Hm, really now. You don't look like the Sandra Keller I have seen in the past. I'll need to see some type of identification."

"Wow, I was getting the exact response I wanted to get from coming back. I showed him my permit."

"Uh hum. I am terribly sorry Ms. Keller. You have just changed so much that I didn't recognize you."

"That's alright. May I have my key now?"

"Yes, sure thing. You will be having the cabin you usually have."

She knew that when the keeper had seen her that it wouldn't be long before people knew she was back in town. That was exactly what she wanted. Even though they knew she would be in town no one would know that her new and improved self was Sandra Keller, just some new face. She could still have the satisfaction of her change.

The first thing she did after getting settled in the cabin was to make a grocery list.

She went to the store hoping to meet some old acquaintances.

"Hello, oh yes, please."

The whole time she was out she would her whispers.

"Who is that some new girl?"

"Damn she's hot. Did you here that Sandra is back in town, mooooo?"

"Yeah Sandra's back in town, you think she'll have the nerve to start beating us up again? Oh hello miss."

It didn't bother her, what these people were saying, actually it made her happy, and especially the ones who had been talking about her and then complimented her. She would have a good laugh with this one. She couldn't wait she wanted to just yell on the top of her lunges who she was.

She went back to her cabin and decided that she was going to cook her something to eat. She had worked for it. She earned it.

"Knock, knock."

"Who in the hell could that be?"

She opened the door and to her shock it was one of her neighbors.

"Oh excuse me. I guess I have the wrong cabin."

"Who are you looking for, maybe I can help?"

"Sandra Keller, but I'm sure you don't know her."

"Well you have the right place this is were she is spending the summer."

"Oh, well can speak with her?"

"You are."

"Wha-t?"

"I'm Sandra Keller, are you alright Mrs. Sonya?"

"Uh. Yeah. I think I better be going now."

She had such a good laugh when she closed the door.

"That woman almost had a heart attack. Ha. Ha."

She quickly finished making her some supper and called it a day. Tomorrow she would go to school.

How about it, alright? I hope so. I really don't think it sounds familiar, but if you think so then go with it. haha.
