Meeting an Old Friend
The new gang settled in quite nicely and all their stuff unpacked allowed an easy break time. The good thing is they all have the next two months off for summer vacation before the major classes and schedules begin. Nathan and Guerrmo invited the girls to some beach fun near a famous fishing pier.
Driving in Guerrmo's truck to the beach, they began loading up the needed stuff. Kila packed their lunches; everyone knew she made the most delicious sandwiches in the whole region. Terra packed the towels, change of cloths, and other beach stuff for everyone, the boys took care of the manual labor, and Aelita packed the medi kits and emergency supplies that would go behind the seats.
"Hey Terra how's the packing going?" Aelita asked stopping by their room where the blonde girl was busy.
"Oh…I'm just about done here. You need any help?" she asked zipping the duffle bag closed.
"Na, I'm done too." She smiled and left for the student kitchen.
Kila had joined the bakery and cooking class and club. Thus she was also a great cook whom the head chef of the club nominated as possible top cook for the school's cook off tournament. So she was given full access to the bakery's refrigerator as long as she turned up a great dish each month. Aelita turned the corner, coming down the stairs, and went out the two huge doors. The golden bright sun and it's heat greeted her like she just opened a lighted stove on 450 F. She put her hand to her eyes as she focused through the blinding light. She went down the small stairs and made a quick walk to another large building, then went through a a small white door. Inside her eyes stopped hurting and the ceiling lights lit the bakery smoothly.
To her right, ten long tables were positioned as a if paying attention to the kitchen area. Aelita looked to her left and there in the fancy and clean kitchen was Kila packing a few plastic wrapped eats.
"Hi Kila!" Aelita waved to her as she strolled to her friend.
"Hey we all ready to go?" Kila asked pushing a few strands of rebellious purple hair from her view.
"Yes, I have the supplies and Terra has the clothing packed as well. The boys should be loading that up by now. So you want me to assist you with that?" Aelita laughed at the large blue and white cooler stuffed with ice and food.
"I guess I went a little over board." Kila smiled embarrassed since the others couldn't possibly eat all that she packed.
The girls carried the cooler outside and locked up before going to the parking lot.
"Man it's hot!" Kila whined as sweat started going for her eyes.
"We're almost there." Aelita said struggling with the weight as they went through a small gate.
The boys met up with them and gladly took the heavy cooler out of their hands. Terra joined them and passed out some small wet towels. The gang began to get into the 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche Truck, Aelita was about to get in when a hand touched her shoulder, and a familiar female voice said hello.
