Chapter 2: Friends, Foes, Romance, and a date!!!

I had graduated from elementary and it was know summer vacation. Everywhere I

went reminded me of the pact I made with Larissa, Jamie, and Whit. You see, we

all went are separate ways. Larissa turned out to be the most popular girl in

school, Jamie became a geek, and Whit became an aspiring tennis star. I was

alone, I was known as the shy girl, the girl everyone liked, but I had no real best

friend. It all changed when I met Fox that summer. He was so cute, he moved in

next door to us. He too had no friends so I asked if he wanted to go to the park.

He gladly accepted. That was when I found out he was a Crane! At first I was sad

because Luis hated the Cranes and he wouldn't let me spend time with Fox but I

knew that Mama worked for them so all I had to do was go with her to work and

help her clean. Fox introduced me to Ethan, his half brother. I didn't like him very

much. But that didn't get into my way of spending time with Fox.

As the years past, Fox and I became close friends. We went to the same school

and we got even closer during the summer of my 4th year in high school. I started

to feel different feelings like we were more than friends. One day, he asked me if

I wanted to got to the park, like we do every Saturday, the only difference is that

he asked me out.

I was extremely nervous! Once at the movies, I accidentally bumped into

someone. It was Larissa! Once a klutz, always a klutz! Turned out, she was on a

date with Fox's half brother Ethan. We chatted for a while and she gave me her

phone number so that we can meet again but with Jamie and Whit. As I was

returning to my seat, I noticed Fox was missing, so I went to look for him. After

looking for him for 20 minutes I decided to go back because the movie had

probably started. I was getting worried because the movie had finished and there

was no sign of Fox. I went to a payphone and I called his cell...no answer. I

didn't know what to do so I went home in tears because my first date was ruined

by a guy I trusted.
