Well… nothing really important to say here… but the only thing is. I know it said that I posted chapter 2, but my computer was being stupid when I changed 'Epilogue' to 'Prologue' and it deleted my chapter… So I'm sorry for the confusion. Oh… and you guys are AMAZING! (:

Chapter 2 – Nobody Knows

OO

The baby, Jordyn, woke me up with her crying her eyes out. As I was lying down onto the bed, I heard Marine go inside her room to calm her down. Since her room is right across from mine, I barely got any sleep last night because the baby would not be quiet.

I sighed as the baby kept on wailing, I stood up from my bed and threw on a pair of my sweat pants and exited the room. I managed to slip past Jordyn's room without Marine seeing me so I could go downstairs. When I went into the kitchen, my dad was sitting at the table looking at the newspaper drinking a cup of coffee. "Hi Dad," I whispered making him jump a little. "What are you doing up?"

"Oh, hi Clare-Bear… I got called in early for a meeting; I won't be back until late. Marine wants to take you out to show you around, If you want too." He smiled and handed me a small cup of coffee.
"Oh, sure… that sounds like fun." I yawned, thinking to myself that I would rather be at home doing nothing than to be here. I was miserable, they didn't have good TV channels, and I barley had any service for my phone. I missed my old friends… I miss Wesley and his nerdy comments, Chantay and her perky personality, and Anya… the one who was always there for me. But I mostly miss Riley, the football player who is my best friend. I just want to go back home and be with them.

"Great… she will be down momentarily." He nodded and kissed the top of my head leaving me in the open wide kitchen, all alone. I walked around the house and into the sun room, looking out into the ocean with the sun just about to rise. I loved the beach, but it really depends on my mood or who I'm with.

I sat down onto a white lawn chair listening to the breeze and the water rushing up onto the beach. I looked at the cute couples with their children holding hands and picking up sea shells. I smiled at the little kids laughing as their faces lit up with joy when they picked one up. I took out my phone and was about to dial my mom's number, but stopped because it was early there in Canada. So I shut my phone and dozed off for a while.

The sound of the screen door to the sun room made me wake up, and it was Marine.
"Hi sweetie, did your dad tell you about going out?" She asked
"Oh, um… yeah. I was thinking that we could look for a job… to keep me occupied."

Her thick brown curly hair bounced up and down as she nodded her head with agreement.

Personally, I thought Marine was beautiful. Her hair went to the middle of her back with curls to complete it. She had freckles under her eyed and along her perfect cheek bones. She had a perfect smile, a bright white with all amazingly straight teeth. She was thin, probably a size 2?

"Well, then let's go." She smiled and walked back into the house leaving me behind.

When I walked inside I was a dark skinned girl with long shiny black hair. She was pretty but looked too much like a girl out of a fashion magazine.

"Oh, Clare… this is Alli. She is my sweet babysitter." Marine grinned as she introduced us to each other. I didn't say anything, and neither did she. We only exchanged smiles and I walked out into the porch with Marine trailing behind me.

"Alli said that there is a place open for a lifeguard on the beach, would you like that?"
I thought for a moment, it sounds pretty good. "Oh, um… yeah. Let's go check in on it." I faked a smile and followed Marine onto the sidewalk and to the area with all the shops.

OOO

"Okay, you seem perfect for the job, and all you need to do is fill this out and give it back to us by Friday." The lady smiled behind the counter and handed me an envelope with a form.
"Thank you." Marine said with a fake smile as she dragged me out of the little room.

"Okay, I have to go get Jordyn some baby things, here is my number, and you can call me when you're ready to leave, or you can just go on home." I nodded watching her walk away.

Great! Time for myself! I thought as I walked down the streets. I was only paying attention to my phone when the sound of laughter interrupted me. I looked up and saw a huge group of people.

One of the guys had short dark hair, and was laughing like a retarded seal as the others laughed at him. The prego with the long silky blonde hair was sitting on his lap with her arms wrapped around his neck. The girl with long black hair and pale skin was holding hands and locking lips with a tall scruffy guy with blue eyes. There was another girl who had dark curly hair, like Marine's, sitting with a boy with a gray beanie laughing and talking with each other. There was another guy, sitting all alone. No girl with him, nothing. He really seemed to catch my attention because he seemed different from the others. As they all laughed, he sat there with a straight face.

He turned his head into my direction. Well of course, since I have the best luck ever. He was staring directly at me. Our eyes locked and I noticed that he had the most beautiful green eyes that I have ever seen. My face turned a light shade of rosy pink, which turned darker as a cocky smirk formed onto his face. He had jet black hair and a perfect skin toned face and body. As I figured out that we have been staring for the past minutes, my phone began to ring.

It was Marine, saying that she was at the coffee shop down the street if I wanted anything. With my eyes drifting back to him, he was already walking away, with his hands shoved deep into his pockets and walking slowly behind all the others with boyfriends and girlfriends.

I shut my phone, and looked back up, only to see him looking back at me with that stupid smirk played onto his face. I waved but he turned around before he could see. Maybe this was going to be a fun summer after all?

OOO

It was Monday morning and I started my lifeguard job today. The boss told me to be at my post around 8:00 am every day. I didn't like the plan, but I needed the money and I wanted to do something so I wouldn't be bored all the time.

I pulled on my red bathing suit and placed the sunglasses on the top of my head while also applying sunscreen. Dad got me a towel from the closet and also gave me his work number in case I needed anything while he was gone. I smiled at him as he left the house, leaving me alone once again.

I exited the house leaving a note on the door just in case Marine came back wondering where I was. After about 15 minutes, I was on the beach and in the tower, looking out onto the sun rising and the couples once again walking the beach. I looked over and saw some older teenagers playing soccer football, with a boy sitting out onto the side. Of course, it was that guy who I saw last week, the one who seemed all alone with his group of friends.

I looked away, but heard yelling coming from their direction. I turned my head and saw one of the guys on top of the other, punching his face and yelling incoherent words so the people around them could hear perfectly.

"HEY!" I yelled, jumping down from my post, running over to the fight. No one was pulling him off.
"Cut it out!" I screamed again, making the boy with green eyes practically fall down on top of me.
"What's going on here?" I said as the blue eyed boy stood up, spitting blood into the sand.

"This freak over hear was talking to my girl." He pointed to the pale girl with long black hair.
"I didn't say anything to her! You worry too much." Snapped the green eyed boy.
"Whatever… Julia, let's go and get out of here." The blue eyed boy wrapped his arms around her thing waist and walked up to the snack area.

"Sorry, if I hurt you…" The other one said shyly as the group of people walked away.
"O-oh, its fine… I'm just doing my job." I smiled a little and looked down at my feet.
"Well, I'll see you around." He smiled and waved.
"Guess you will." I smiled brightly as he ran to catch up with his friends.

I walked back to my booth and looked out into the ocean. Each day, I've started to like it more here. I sure hope that this summer is going to become unforgettable.
