Okay, time to let loose and live a little, or live a lot. I so look forward to summer break! Life here at UM has been crazy this year trying to keep up with 15 credit hours, endless baseball practices, games and the search for the ultimate tailgating party. The good thing is I at least made it through the first year. Our baseball team ended up winning the Big Ten Tournament. We rocked! Thank goodness for sports scholarships because my grades are average. Too bad they don't grade you on your looks; I would so get an A+.

"Hey Jazz, you better make sure your sister is packed and ready so you make it to the airport on time. I have to pick up Bella and we will meet you there."

Jasper Hale, my best bud and roomie, is on the UM baseball team with me. We met each other last summer in Key West, Florida while we were working at Atlantic Eclipse Charters. It is the best summer job ever. Ocean waves, hot sun, and hot babes on a beach!

How can you possibly call that work? Carlisle and Esme Cullen, the owners, asked us to come back down this summer and we said yes before they even finished asking. They also asked if we knew of any one else that would be interested in working for them this summer as their shop had grown and they expanded their services. I of course, immediately thought of my little sister and Jasper his.

"Emmett, are you sure Bella is up to the excitement? She seems like she would be a bit out of place with the beach party scene." Jasper is good at reading people.

"She'll be fine. She actually agreed to try and let loose. Besides, she needs to see more than just Michigan before she starts at UM." And that is exactly what I tried to explain to her.

"Well, do you think you will be able to adjust to seeing her "relax?" You are a bit overprotective and you know how some of the guys can be down there." Like I said, Jasper knows how to read people.

"I guess we will see how it goes but those one-nighter, drunken party dudes…..Oh Hell No!"

"Um Emmett, when you're not working, you're one of those dudes man." Jasper also has a way of pointing things out. I guess I do need to be a little bit of a better example now that my baby sis will be around.

"Okay, here's the deal," I started, "I am going to be way different than I was last summer. This year I am going to look for a keeper. A girl I can really get to know, and be exclusive with. How's that?" I asked him with the most sincere look on my face.

"Are you serious? You would need to be more like me to make that happen!" Jazz seemed stunned but willing to take me up on the deal. He was a romantic. Sure, he dated a few girls but has been looking for that one and only ever since I met him. He would not give up his heart until he met her. "Okay Emmett, no one-nighters. You have to be more serious from now on."

"Deal!" I agreed. I will try to stay away from the "Barbies" and look for a possible keeper instead. This is going to be hard.

Jasper was already on the phone, "Are you ready yet Rose? You have an hour 'til we pack the car, then we can get some lunch on the way to the airport. Yes, Emmett is picking up Bella and meeting us there for our flight. Okay, uh-huh, yes, just don't freak her out please, okay see ya."

"What's up?" I asked. "Is Rose over packing for her 1st trip to the Keys?" Jasper always complains that his sister has to go shopping before every new trip they take.

"She is super excited to be working in Florida for the summer, and not stuck working on campus like last year. Lots of "Hot Guys" as she put it. She is also looking forward to being a big sister to Bella. I guess they hit it off pretty well when Bella was here for Spring Break."

Rosalie and Jasper are twins; tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, and confident. Rose is in a different dorm at UM and does her own thing. Sometimes she and Jasper will hang out together; she seems okay. I have usually been busy with other things when she was around, so I only really spent any time around her when Bella was here. Rose is actually quite beautiful, stunning is a better word. I did notice that, but as a rule, I've never let myself be interested in any of my friend's sisters. It can tend to make things uncomfortable especially if things don't work out.

"Well Jasper, if I don't leave now Bella will think I forgot to pick her up. We will see you at the airport." I have a feeling this will be one very memorable summer.

I was pretty sure that I had everything packed that I would need. It's not like my wardrobe was so big that I had a hard time deciding what to bring. I basically dumped my whole dresser into a suitcase, and it fit without a problem. Shorts, shirts, a bathing suit, jeans, pajamas, tennis shoes, flip flops, and one nice pair of dress shoes to wear with my khaki skirt. I was wearing my favorite jeans and a dark blue blouse for the plane ride. Emmett should be here any minute.

Just then the door bursts open and sure enough, here he is. The boy is always on time, I have to give him credit for that. "Hey Bells, are you ready for the best summer of your life?"

"If you say so," I replied rather shyly.

"Trust me, you'll have fun. Just remember to let loose and enjoy yourself. One thing's for sure, you could definitely use some sun!" Emmett gave me that evil grin.

"Hey, you have a problem with having an albino sister?" this was a constant joke between us. He seemed to always tan so easily.

"No Sis, not at all. It sure makes it a lot easier to find you in a crowd."

Now that comment gave him the reaction he was looking for. I ran across the room, jumped on his back, and started punching him in the arm. A lot of good that did me, I don't think he could even feel it. He was laughing too much to know for sure.

"Okay, okay we need to get going," he managed to get out.

I jumped down and went to gather my bags. "Mom said to make sure we leave a message when we get there, so don't forget" Even though I am sure I will be the one to remember and call.

"Well of course we will." Emmett answered.

We loaded up and climbed in his jeep. A quick stop for food and we were on to the airport. Ready or not, I had a feeling my life was about to change.
