Chapter Four
Eric, Luke and Dawson were walking along the beach looking for thier friends and family. They didn't talk at first, only to call out names of the ones they knew. Finally, Eric spoke.
"I'm Eric, by the way," he told them. "Eric Camden."
Luke stared at him, then said, "Luke Danes."
Eric looked at Dawson. "And your name is?"
"Dawson," he replied. "Um, Dawson Leery."
"How old are you?" asked Eric.
"Fifteen."
"Were you with your parents on the plane?"
Dawson shook his head. "I was with my friends. We won a trip to Hawaii and our parents let us go. One of my friends has an uncle that lives there and we were going to stay with him."
"They let you go by yourself?" Eric asked, astonished. "How old are your friends?"
"My age."
Eric didn't know what to say.
"Where were you flying from?" asked Dawson.
"Glenoak, California," Eric answered. "My family and I also won a trip to Hawaii. Where are you two from?"
"I'm from Capeside, Massachusetts," Dawson told him.
"Stars Hollow, Connecticut," Luke said.
"Interesting name. I bet it's an interesting town," Eric commented.
"It can be."
