Prologue

Krista Rayne Kallaway that's me and I am having the most boring summer. I was supposed to be going to California with my mom but once again she got called away on business (and I haven't heard from my dad since I told him I hated his new twenty something year old wife, she was five years older than me, what did he expect.)

I originally was going to go to Theater camp with my friends Will, Jayden, Bridgett, and Cara or going with my friend Ally to her parent's beach house in Florida, but no my mom promised we'd go to California just the two of us like it used to be during the divorce. Well here I am a week in to summer vacation and I'm sitting on my front porch being bored out of my mind for the third day in a row.

Chapter One:

The New Guy

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a red car pull up I turned to see a guy who looked to be about nineteen or so getting out of the car that was now parked in front of my neighbor's house. He had black hair, a nice body, not to muscled up, he looked to be about six foot, even had a nice tan. I walked over to help him with the boxes he was getting out of his trunk.

"Need help with those?" I asked. He turned to look at me. (I had my long black and red hair put up in a pony tail, I was wearing my little blue jean cut off shorts, a black tank top and black flip flops.) I knew I looked good I'd been working out so now I was five three and one hundred and fifteen pounds.

"Yeah thanks. I'm Jake Thomas." He said picking up a box.

"I'm Krista Kallaway, are you Jack and Annie's son?" I asked.

"Yeah you know them?" He asked walking towards the house.

"Yeah your dad's my gym coach and was my health teacher." I said while setting another box down on the front steps.

"Well if you're still there next year I'll be your coach." He said smiling at me. He had a great smile.

"This is actually my last year..." I said while going back to the car.

"Oh well you'll still see me I'm going to be my dad's assistant so I can take over when he retires next year." He said starring at me as I walked over to the car.

When we got done moving the boxes in to the house we sat down on the steps and talked. He explained to me how he had doubled his class load so he could graduate two years early (he just turned twenty.), and how he was back to take over for his father. He hated the idea of living with his parents again but he had to until the house across the street is done being remodeled then his parents are moving in there. I explained why I was so bored and alone this summer.

After our talk I asked if he needed help unpacking, he agreed. After an hour or so we got done unpacking and setting everything up, and we sat on the floor in his room and were talking. I was telling him about the school and my friends when he leaned over and kissed me. I kissed him back intensely. Soon we were lying on the floor making out. He started to lift up my tank top when I stopped him.

"What?" he asked confused.

"Your door is open and we're on the floor. Let's go over to my house where we won't be interrupted." I said getting up. After a minute of thinking about it he finally agreed. We got to my house and before we even got through the door he pulled me to him and started kissing my neck. I closed the door with my foot. We fell on the floor kissing intensely. He took off my tank top and his shirt while I struggled with the buttons of his pants. He stopped for a second to look at me.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm sure." I said taking off the rest of my clothes and his.

Eventually all of our clothes were off and I was on top of him, his hands firmly placed on my hips. I didn't really know what to do but he unknowingly guided me through it. What Jake didn't know was that until that day I was a virgin I may not have acted like it or dressed like it but I was. Afterwords we were lying on the floor in my living room covered up with a blanket (that was originally on the couch) talking.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked kissing my forehead.

"I'm wondering how things are going to go from here." I said looking at him.

"Oh well the rest of the summer we can just hang out and subtly date and you know do whatever." He said avoiding what I was really asking.

"And when school starts back?" I asked avoiding his gaze.

"When school starts back we're over. We have to be I'll be your teacher and at that point it'll be illegal as hell." He said trying not to look at me.

"This is illegal too." I said attempting to stay calm.

"Yeah but this is easy to hide during the summer. Listen why can't we just enjoy the rest of the summer. You know just have fun no strings attached." He said looking at me with a smile.

"Okay." I said hoping I could handle that. The next few weeks really changed things Jake became one of my best friends we talked like old friends. I told him about my parents' divorce, my mom's constant working, and my dad's new wife. He told me about how he was actually adopted, how he went looking for his birth parents but didn't tell his adopted ones and how he almost flunked out of his first semester of college because of it. I told him about my ex boyfriends he told me about his exes too. We started trusting each other. Our relationship wasn't just sex. Granted a lot of it was sex. I finally told him he took my virginity, he was mad I didn't tell him before we did it. He said he would have made it more special for me. So the next day he made me dinner and decorated the bedroom in flowers and candles. The way he said it should have been. That's when we realized we were falling for each other, so our relationship went back to a friendship and sex. No more romantics we agreed it made things too complicated.

For the rest of the month Jake and I hung out every day, all day, and generally all night too. Things were really going great until the last week of June when I got a text message from Jayden saying:

"Hey chica remember we get back the day after tomorrow. Loves you!"

After that things got very complicated. Jayden, Will, Cara, and Bridgett were coming back from Theater camp in less than forty-eight hours.
