Under a dark shady tree, Caitlin sat thinking about her friends back in Washington. Do they miss me? Will I ever see them again? Will my mom let me get an iPhone to text them, or at least a home phone. Caitlin sighed. She had just moved in to her house in California. It was a cool house, and her mom had a good job, but it was summer and her mom was gone all the time. She didn't even have any friends to invite over. She was lonely, and school started in two months. That is way to long to be bored, she thought.
She got up from her tree and went inside. Her mom let her walk around town as long as she was back for dinner at six o'clock, so she started walking. It took her only five minutes to get to downtown. She walked inside her favorite coffee shop, Starbucks, and bought herself a mocha with sprinkles and no caffeine. She paused on the way out the door. There was a sign that said Help Wanted. She went back up to the counter, and asked if she could get a job. The lady sighed and asked how old Caitlin was and what her name was. She said she w was Caitlin and she was sixteen. The lady sighed again, and handed her a piece of paper. Then she said to bring the application in sometime all filled out. As Caitlin walked away, she heard the lady sigh again.
That night, at the dinner table, she told her mom she wanted to work at Starbucks for the summer. Her mom said sure.
End of chapter one. If anybody wants to give me ideas for chapter two put it in the comments.
