My brothers best friend

I've been missing you

We arrived at the house and it was still as big and posh as I remembered.

We walked in and I could see the pool outside. It had a diving board now and some pool side chairs.

"Michael will take you up to your room." Mom gave Michael the 'do it' look.

He nodded and we went upstairs. He showed me where it was and went down to grab the rest of my bags.

It hasn't changed. It was still pale pink with pictures off the family. My bed was now a king size and it had white sheets with a few gifts on it. I smiled and walked over.

"Two are from me, three are from each of the boys and six are from mom. You could say it's your birthday come early." Michael laughed putting my suitcases down.

"Thank you." I smiled.

I picked up one and funny enough it was from Michael. I opened the bag and saw an envelope inside with some goggles at the bottom of the bag.

"Always the one to give clues." I laughed as he came closer.

I opened the envelope and saw six tickets to a waterpark. My favourite waterpark.

"How do you-"

"Remember? You dragged us there every weekend at one point. Pretty hard to forget Ari."

"Why six?" I asked confused. "I don't exactly have any friends."

"Well, one for you, one for me, Luke, cal and ash. Then one for a new friend or should I say old friend."

"Huh?" I asked shocked.

"Hey Ari."

I looked back and saw my old best friend appearing from my walk in wardrobe.

"Larissa!" I squealed.

She came and hugged me as I squeezed her.

"I'll leave you girls to it." Mike smiled walking out.

"It's been so long lar, I've missed you." I pulled away.

"Every time I called your dad said you didn't want to talk." She huffed.

"He didn't want me to be in contact with anyone from here."

"Oh, well, let's not make this sad. Here, open more." She passed me another bag.

It was from the Calum boy Mikey mentioned. I opened it and saw a bikini inside that was bright pink. Well, I guess we know the sex pest in the group.

"Oh my god, that's so funny but so pretty. It'd so suit you."

"Uh, I don't know. I don't wear bikinis." I looked at it again.

I forgot, how can I swim with my arms like this. No one knows but mom and Mike I'm sure of it.

At the end I had a few dresses, sunglasses, a new iPod and a new laptop. The boys all got me a dress apart from cal of course.

"How about we go to the beach. Show of your new figure and bikini. Might even see some old flames." Larissa smiled.

"Last time I was here I was like 10. Trust me, there's no old flames." I giggled.

"Well, remember Austin? Austin Kydd? The geek?"

"Yeah, he was weird and full of saliva."

"Well, he isn't anymore. He's now the hottest boy in school. He has a sixpack and everything." She wiggled her eyebrows.

"Well, fuck me." I laughed.

"Oh, he will if you ask." She giggled.

"What are you girls giggling about?"
