Chapter 2

For Lyndsey, summer came and went as fast as water falling down a waterfall. Over that summer, she spent her time with Jimmy Kirk; her new best friend. They did the camp activities together and ate together. (Sometimes they snuck off the camp campus together, but heck, she wouldn't say a word about that. It was their secret.)

So it did come to a surprise to her when finally the summer had ended. She would start a new school in two weeks with new people and new friends. She wouldn't mind that, but the problem was that she knew no one. If Jimmy were going to that school, well...that would be a different story.

She could only shrug to those thoughts as she sat next to Jimmy on a bench, waiting for their parents to pick them up. Secretly, in her mind, she hoped that her dad would pick her up, but that might hurt Jimmy's feelings.

Of course, she's more than surprised when her red headed mother appears on the curb. It's rare she sees either of her parents, since her 18 year old brother takes care of her and usually picks her up from pretty much anywhere. She smiles, one of the brightest smiles she can muster, and runs into her mother's waiting arms.

Their conversation is a mix of English and Greek as the two exchange mutual sayings of love and having missed each other and glad-you-are-here's. She turns around to introduce Kirk to her mom, but she turns to find him already about to tap her on the shoulder.

"Jimmy!!!" She squeaks, sort of surprised, and then calms herself. "This is my mom." She watches as her mother looks on her new best friend. She smiles then says, "Hello sweetie" the best she can. She speaks English, but it isn't her first language. Lyndsey smiles sympathetically at her mom. Jimmy taps her shoulder, "Lynds, this is my mom."

But before either of them move after that, the two women look at each other and smile, and immediately begin talking. Lyndsey can hear things like, "haven't seen you since..." and "how's Adrian?" and "My how Jimmy's grown!"

She can't believe her ears. She turns to her mom and tugs on her uniform leg. "You know Jimmy's mom?!?"

A/N: I'm leaving it at a cliffhanger for now. Sorry about not updating so quickly. This is the reason I hate school right now. I can't write. Anyway, I'll be updating more soon. Let me know what you think!
