Cambriah Van Dam
The family SUV pulled up out front of her grandmothers beautiful beachfront home. It was two stories and a backyard that lead right down to the sandy beach. Her mother glanced back to the two girls. ”Are you sure the two of you want to stay here, I mean Cami darling there is still time for you to sign up for Miss Teen USA and…”Her mother began, but she politely interrupted. ”Mom” she began in a soft kind voice ”I need a break. I really do, I promise after summer I’ll get right back into it.” She said with a smile. She glanced to her sister who looked terrified that their mother wouldn’t let them stay. Cambirah simply winked, giving her fourteen year old sister a I’ve-got-this-under-control, kind of look.

They got out of the car and the strong ocean smell hit Cami’s nose and she inhaled closing her eyes taking in the cool, salty beach smell. “You guys made it!” their grandmother said cheerfully as she walked along the cobble stone path that lead from her front door to the street. Cambriah smiled “Grandma you look beautiful.” She said gently hugging the old woman and kissing her cheek. Haden followed her sister’s actions like she normally did, hugging her grandmother and kissing her cheek. “You girls have gotten so big!” she said hugging them back excitedly. She hadn’t seen her granddaughters in about four years, unfortunately there father wasn’t exactly the type of man to visit extended family so they very rarely spoke to any of their family. “Well Come on inside.” she said as she waddled back up the path, Haden and her mother in tow.

”Do you need help dad?” Cam asked softly, her father like always was dressed in a black Armani business suite and his personality was cold towards his eldest daughter, most would find him mean and intimidating, but Cambriah was use to her father. He handed her purple suite case and matching duffel bag. “Don’t get yourself into trouble I’m not going to deal with it and if your sister gets into trouble it’s on you, your responsible for you.” he said his tone was a bit harsh. “Yes sir.” she replied respectfully, as they headed inside the house.Her father and mother didn’t stay very long, her father was a business man and he was always on a schedule, even when he had nothing planned. Her grandmother explained that her and her sister would be sharing a room, which Cambriah didn’t mind at all. Her grandmother had a cute little guest bedroom on the second floor with two twin beds.

After Cam finished hanging her cloths she headed back down stars, humming something to herself when she heard a knock at the door. “Grandma, I think someone’s here.” She called to her grandmother who was already spending quality time with her youngest granddaughter Haden as they were in the midst of backing some cookies. They had only been there for a few hours and Cam already felt more at home than she ever had. “Would you mind getting it dear?” she called back. “Sure.” she answered back happily. She headed towards the door opening it and smiling to the guy leaning against the wall who seemed to be about her age or maybe even a little older. “Hey, can I help you?” she asked crossing her arms in front of her. Her blonde hair hung around her, that was done up with a little too much make up, much like a rich preppy girl would wear. Her outfit only added to her rich girl look and to a small town boy like him she probably looked more or less like a huge bitch.
