• Chapter 1


    As I sat on the plane waiting for Sarah aka mom to IM me, my cell phone rang. “Hello?” “Hey Karina, its me, Sarah.” Oh, hey mom, can you IM me?” “Sure” As soon as I hung up Sarah Imed me “Hey Hun”
    “Hey mom”
    “How is your flight so far?”
    “Its ok…. I’m really bored.”
    “Well I would’ve came with you but… John had to get there early”
    Just to let you know Sarah married a wealthy man named John. He works for Southtrust Funding. He is a very handsome guy, bright green eyes and brown curly hair.
    “How is John?”
    “He’s great… I think anyway, e-mail me when you get to Denver. You should have a computer in your room.”
    “I will and where are you and John moving too?”
    “Miami, Florida”
    “That’s right”
    “Are you in a good mood right now?”
    “Yeah…. Why?”
    “Well… I’m just gonna have to tell you sooner or later…-sigh- I’m pregnant”
    “So? That’s great! Is it a boy or girl?”
    “The doctor thinks it’s a girl”
    “Cool, what will you name her?”
    “Justine or…Cameron if it’s a boy”
    “I like Cameron but why Justine?”
    “It’s John’s mother’s name”
    “Oh well how about Madison or Riley?”
    “I do like Riley. I don’t know, I’ll try to persuade him.”
    “Ok I have to go the plane is about to land. Love you”
    “Love you too sweetheart”
    I closed my laptop and put it in my black bag. The plane then landed and I grabbed my bags. I walked and walked and walked looking for Matt. When I was about to give up and dial his number, he popped out of the crowd. He had black straight hair and bright blue eyes like me. “Look at you! You look like me!” He looked at me as if his loneliness has just blown away with the wind. “I have a surprise for you when we get home”
    “Ok” I said curiously. I bent down to tie my shoe. When I stood back up I saw in his eyes that he missed Sarah. We got into his car and drove off to his house. When I saw the house I was quite impressed. It was tan with no sunlight beating down on it. He had a black pickup truck and a blue van in his driveway. I got out of the car and stood next to him.
    “Whose cars are those?”
    “Well do you remember Zack Scott?”
    “Is that the kid I played mud ball with when I was little?”
    “Yup, the blue van is his”
    “Ok, I remember”
    “Well he’s here with Kayla”
    “Is Kayla his mom or sister?”
    “Sister”
    “What about the black pickup?”
    “Surprise!!!”
    “Awww Dad!” I ran over and hugged him as tight as I could. I guess I hugged too tight cause he said “Hey I gained a few pounds over the years, I’m not as skinny as I look” he laughed. I laughed too. “Lets go inside they’re waiting.” He started inside and I followed. As I passed the porch I thought maybe I could plant some flowers or bushes around here.
    When I turned around I saw Zack right in front of me. He had dirty blonde hair, dark tan skin and dull green eyes. I had to admit he was quite cute. Kayla looked so different, she had brown short hair and the same skin color but with bright red eyes. I guess Zack saw me examining them cause he said “Hi Karina” shyly. “Hey Zack, you look so grown up” I complemented. “I’m only 16” he said. “Hey Karina, do you remember me?” Kayla asked trying to not be invisible.
    “ Yeah your Kayla. Zack’s older sister and I also remember you always took me shopping with you for company.”
    “Yes and I enjoyed that” Kayla looked at me amazed that I remembered.
    “We better get going we have some places to go.” Zack said in a hurry.
    I was getting quite curious. Kayla and Zack seemed weird. “Bye Karina and Matt”
    “Bye Kayla and Zack”
    As soon as they left Matt went into the kitchen. “You hungry?” he asked.
    “Yeah” I answered. “I’ll cook,” I said before he could start burning food. I wanted to say so you won’t burn the house down but didn’t. “Ok, what can you make?” he asked. “Just about anything” I said. “Ok what about tacos?” he asked. I think he just said that cause it was the only thing in the cabinet.
    “Sure” I said. I had tacos last night but I wasn’t hungry. I cooked the tacos and set the table. “Dinners ready!” John was in the room in a blink. “Thank you Karina” he said gobbling up his taco. I guessed he liked tacos. “Do you like any sports?”
