Gem cove
Hope Collins walked slowly along dunkin Shore, her 5,6 body realxed fliming a small seal making its way toward a rock a few feet away. she smiled and brushed a strand of her brown hair with purple streaks way from her face. she pushed her zoom button
and the seal came into closer view. hope heard a sound of rushing water and the seal dunked back underwater. startled and annoyed, she turned to find the source of noise. she didnt have to look far. shaking her head angrily and turning her camera off she walked back toward the highway. It was only mr Gordson jackson gordson to be excact. Hewas the local game and fishing officer he cruised the waters everyday searching for any one polluting or doing anything else illegal. She didnt like him very much he gave way too many tickets and was mainly a butt hole to everyone. The past 4 months he had put a least 12 people out of jobs. walking onto the board walk her ice blue eyes scanned for any of her friends. Her boyfriend jeremy was supposed to meet her around the boardwalk around 2:00pm it was now 2:30.
"great where the freak is he" she muttered to herself.
"Hey watch out!" a voice said loudly
Hope jumped back as a boy with a box walked by. he turned around
"Oh its you....do you always stand on boardwalks in broad daylight with your head in the clouds?" he said laughing
"Oh just shut that annoyinf hole i youir mouth seth because everyone would benefit greatly from it" hope said glaring at him. she turned on her camera and aimed it at him
"Seth o'hare the town idiot...some say snob...some say rat but which it is no one will ever really know" hope said walking cloer to him.
Seth rolled his emerald green eyes, put down the box and grabbed her camera
"Hey!" hope said angrily reaching for it. seth grinned and held it out of her reach
"Now why do you wanna go say lies like that for" he asked turning ther camera toward her
"This is Hope collins.....the two newbie moved here 2 years ago because she was kicked out of juvie hall for fingering the toilets" he said cracking up
"Ill kill you you stupid pervert!" hope said grabbing her cameras away. he laughed and held his hands up
"Im kidding hope calm down but you shouldnt say lies like that about people i have feelings too you know" he said sarcastically running a hand through his black wavy hair
"Yeah whatever ok im sorry...what are you doing out here anyway i though you were working" hope said irritated, but she couldnt help but smile. he could make her laugh even though he was annoying
"I am working im doing a double shift at seafood paparazi today i was just carrying this box of napkins into the storage room" he said motioning toward the door across the street.
Seafood paparazi was one of the main places many teens in gem city hung out. they had great food and the prices wernt that bad. patches pizza was another place about a block away there pizza was awsome and there glarlic cheese fries were to die for. Hope and her friends often hung there. actually hope mybe had 2 real friends her boyfriend jeremy and her best friend tess. tess was in the process of recovering from her heart transplant a week ago. The doctors didnt want to elt her out yet util she was strong enough to walk. The doctors expected her to make a full recovery. Seth was like the town smartass, hope didnt know mych about him, but she heard he grew up in the poor part of town his hole life up until 10th grade. now he lived in a better neighborhood. According to what his closest friend said his dad walked out yearsd ago and left his mom and him. Hope somwhow knew the smart alleck attitude was just a cover up.
"Oh...ok well"
"What are you doing out here filming?" seth asked picking his box back up
"No jeremy is supposed to be meeting me here although hes half an hour late" hope said looking at her watch rasing her eyebrows
"Hey hope!" a voice called behind her
"Looks like he made it" seth said nodding behind her. hope spun around and smiled at her boyfriend. he was dorable at 5,10 with his brown hair with blond highlights and blue/green hazel eyes he could be a model. he kissed her on the cheek
"Im late i know....." jeremy said noticing seth
"Hey jeremy" seth said shifting the box in his arms they wernt exackly best buddies
"Hey" jeremy said nodding stifffly. seth cleared his throat
"Well i better get this thing inside before i get fired" he gave a small wave and crossed the street
"Man i cantr stand him" jeremy said watching him go. hope smiled
"Hes not so bad somewtimes...and why are you late"
"I was delivering the rest of those meals to the local church...remember i told you about it" jeremy said looking her in the eyes
Hope blinked and shook her head
"I guess i forgot" she murmered, then she leaned up slightly and kissed him. he respoded by wrapping his arms around her and kissing her back
"Well it was worth the wait" Hope said smiling. they were about to kiss again whena loud horn blasted next to them, since they were by the road. A green mustang pulled up beside them
"Hey romeo and juliet think you two can cool it lonf enough to go grab a slice with us" The voice asked stcking its head out the window. It was mindy and noah. jeremy laughed
"Hey noah...pizza sounds great" jeremy called. he turned to Hope
"That ok with you?"
"Sure im getting kinda hungrary anyways" hope said. mindy wasnt exackly a friend of hers but jremy was friends with noah and sorta friends with mindy.
"Well cmon you two hop in already" mindy said from the passenger seat. jeremy and hope climed in

Christina 0'hare pushed her dark hair out of her eyes and glanced at the clock. only two more hours until her shift was over. she wondered if her son seth was done working by now. It had been tough since mike had walked out on them six years ago. they lived in a better neighbor hood and made more money, but still it was a struggle and seth working part time at seafood paparazi helped. her brown eyes closed tiredly. she loved her job as a nurse, but it could get stressful
"Hey christina you look tired" a voice said startling her she jumped and looked up. it was Chris Aimes
"Hi chris you scared me" shje said laughing a little. he smiled good naturally
"Sorry im just coming by to see tess.....how is she doing?" he asked looking worried
Christina smiled and shook her head. Chris was Tess's father him and Alicia were greast parents whjo had been through rought times with tess. She had just recived a heart transplant a week ago and was recovering from it. Tess had been born premature and since then had been having trouble with her heart. she had had a small heart attack 2 weeks ago and had almost died. chris and Alicia had been by her side every step of the way. Christina had been on of the nurses on her case.
"Shes doing good ready to get out of the hospital plus shes fiesty. she says she still feels really weak but thats normal"
"Well thanks alicia should be coming she had to stop by the gift shop on her way up" chris said laughing a little. he waved to christiana and went toward tess's room. he walked in she was a wake and sitting up looking pale. she smiled
"Hey dad wheres mom?" Tess said groggily. her lomgish blond hair was tied up in a messy ponytail amdher brown eyes looked glassy from all the medicine.
"Hey sweetie your mom stopped by the gift shop shell be here ina second" he said leaning down to kiss her on the forhead.
"The gift shop?.....shes already bough me a months worth of stuff from there since i been here" tess said laughing
"Well you know how your mom is...how are you feeling?" chris asked his daughter
"really tired but not as much as i did when can i go home...i miss my car"
Chris laughed
"Well im not sure when you can leave honey but the car is going to have to wait the doctor said"
"What! i cant drive...that..sucks" tess caoughed a little and took a deep breath. chris was immediatly by her side
"tess! you ok shouldmi get the doctor?"
Tess waved her hand
"Dad its ok im fine..i guess i got to excited for a minute there" she said trying to calm down
Tess felt angry again ever since she was little her parents had been extremly over protective of her and it had gotten worse since her heart transplant. She was fine now, but until her body got used to her new heart the doctors told her getting too excited could cause her to be short of breath and start coughing
"Honey you know you cant get excited until your body...."
"Dad! i know ok im 18 for crying out loud" tess said impatietly sitting up. as her mother walked in
"Whats all the noise?" Alicia asked smiling. tess sigh
"Dads just being overprotective as usual" she felt guilty snapping at her dad, because her parents and her always got along great. but there constant worry drove her insane sometimes
"She just got excited and short of breath for a second but shes fine" chris said tiredly rubbing his face, which was looking scruffy from 3 days of not shaving and worrying about her
"Well here sweetie i bough this for you" alicia said givinf her a small stuffed bear that said i love you
"Thanks mom its adorable i think youv bough the entire goft shop out in the past week" tess said teasingly her mom shrugged and brushed her blond hair off her shoulder
"Well my daughters worth it" alicia said taking her hand and sqeezing it. Amber Chandler, who is another nurse walked in
"Hey tess feeling better today?"
"Yeah sure im just ready to leave...and why can i drive my car?" tess asked
Amber walked to her heart monitor machine cheking something off on her clipboard. she frowned at yhre machine. Alicia and Chris noticed this
"Amber what is it?" Alciia asked worried
"theres a spike in this monitor" she said turning to tess "have you been hvaing trouble breathing?"
"I had a spell earlier i got excited an got short of breath and started caoughing but im fine now" tess said biting her lip. amber smiled
"You have to be careful it takes time to recover from a heart transplant" Dr. chandler said smiling
"Let me guess shes stil; talking about that car" Chrisina said walking in taking her stethescope from around her neck
tess smiled she liked Dr chandler and nurse christinas both were parents of sme of her closetst friends and they knew her case well
"Of course what else" Amber said smiling
Christina listened to her heart and lungs.
"Sounds good"
"So why cant i drive?" tess asked fixing her pillows
"Well honey its just a safety precation ok at least for a few weeks to a month" Dr chandler said
Tess sigh and lay back "great"

"Ok ew! theres an anchovie on my pizza!" Mindy said wrinkling her nose.
noah, jeremy, and hope looked at her and tried not to laugh. noah reached over and picked it off
"How did that get on there?" noah asked he popped it in his mouth smiling. jeremy laughed
"You didnt...you put that on her pizza?!" he said laughing
"noah! thats disgusting next time im going to put a lettuce leaf on yours" mindy said glaring at him. he knew she hated anchovies
"You know hat anchovies arent that bad i tasted one once it was salty but good" hope said taking a bite of her mushrooom and sausage pizza.
Jeremy laughed he was about to say something when the voices around him seemed to get lower as he was haunted by another memory from his past
( he was 17 exackly 1 year ago. He had been down by the coast, with his girlfriend back then sam.
"jeremy i have to get going my moms exspecting me home" sam said kissing him on the cheek. jeremy stood up too
"ok want me to walk you home?"
"I have my car ill see you later"
