It was September first and the first weekend of the month. Kayla was in her bedroom looking out at the cloudy, overcast sky. It was the perfect kind of day for Kayla and the weather had predicted that it would be like this all week. However, she wasn't looking forward to the third of the month when school would start up again. Kayla was going to make the most out of this weekend though before school started and decided to go out that day. She then gathered up her umbrella(which she decided to use as a parasol that day), her purse, and went down the stairs. In the living room, she called out to her father Carlos.

"Daddy, I'm heading out for a walk."

"Be back by dusk Kayla. School's about to start and I don't want you out late," he said.

"Okay."

So Kayla headed out the door and began her stroll. She walked down the block from her house, past Jackson's house, and all the other houses on the street. After about ten minutes she came to a new place she hadn't noticed before. The town had opened a brand new coffee shop, its sign said Starbucks Coffee. It had half a dozen tables outside with huge oversized umbrellas over them. And inside the place looked a little crowded. She decided to go inside and get herself a coffee and a scone.

Sitting in the very back table by the window was someone who took Kayla by surprise. It was Caleb Williams, drinking a large cup of coffee. Kayla hurried over to where Caleb was sitting.

"Caleb! You're back from the basketball camp! When did you get back?" Kayla asked as she stood on tiptoes and wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. He returned the hug and told her to sit down.

"I just got back yesterday. How have you been?"

"Alright considering that school starts in a few days."

"I meant, with what had happened earlier this summer."

Kayla's order is called. She gets up, goes and gets her scone and coffee, and sits back down across from Caleb.

"Lia's going missing must have been hard on you and everyone."

"Yeah, especially what happened with me, Camren, Jay, and Maple. How is Jay anyway?"

"She's closer to Nicole now. In her first letter to me at camp, she said that you four split up. What happened?"

"I guess what happened with Lia was just too much for our group to handle." she said sadly, "Oh well, Maple has Lauren but she's always been closer to her anyway. Camren has LeLe and at least Jay has Nicole right?"

"And you have me."

"Right. And I have my driver's license now."

Just then Kayla's phone buzzed and it showed that a text message just came in it read:

"Kayla, I wonder if Caleb knows about the doctor incident a few weeks ago."-L

"What is it?" Caleb asked.

Kayla got a worried and frightened look on her face. She messaged the number back.

"Who is this?"

All she received was that the number wasn't reachable.

"What is it?"

"Nothing. Don't worry about it," she said trying to blow it off, "Walk me home Caleb?"

"Sure, you're my girl."

"So sweet. Let's go."

The two of them left the coffee shop and headed in the direction of Kayla's house. When they reached her house she invited Caleb in and they both went up to her bedroom. Kayla assured him that her father was asleep and also reminded Caleb that they agreed to wait until after they graduated high school before sleeping together. For the rest of the day, the two of them just laughed and caught up with what had happened with them over the summer.

Evening came too early though and soon Carlos came knocking on his daughter's door. She told her father that her door was unlocked.

"It's time to go, Caleb," Carlos said, "Say hello to your parents and your sister for us."

Kayla walked with Caleb to the front door and onto the porch.

"Goodbye, Caleb. Do you want to hang out at the mall tomorrow?"

"I can't. I have to finish unpacking and getting ready for the first day of school."

"Alright. See you Monday."

Caleb leaned lower to give his girlfriend a kiss and said goodbye for the night.
