• Chapter 1

    It was the first day of summer break. The three friends Marissa, Katie, and Jake where on there way to Virginia Beach to shop for new boards. That night they were going to have their annual first day of summer beach party. The shopping was done and it was time to set up for the party. As usual they talked about surfing, but in the middle of everything Jake pulled Katie aside and said to Katie “Katie I have waited for the right time to say this, so now I am going to say it, Katie I really like you and I want you to be my date to the party, so will you?” Many thoughts were running through Katie’s head at the time, but the one thing that really surprised her is that a guy actually liked her, and not just any guy, a guy she has known for almost her whole life and has always gone out wit the pretty, popular, type of girls. Katie never thought he would ask out a girl as plain as she is. Just then she realized she was standing there blank as a white sheet of paper. She tried to work out words but nothing came out. Finally James said, “So now I guess you hate me.” “No it is more like surprised”, said Katie. “Oh, is that a no?”, said Jake. “No it is a yes”, said Katie.
