Next Summer
Page 20
Charlotte watched him go. What was she so upset about, anyway? And why should she care what anybody said about her and her friends, or, least of all, about Caleb Ramsey?
Maybe because she was scared that this summer was going to be more of the same old, same old. More hanging out by the pool. More of the same old banter with the same old pool boys: Caleb, and Ethan, and Robby Miller—another Old Fairfield Country Day kid—arrogant and in training to be a frat boy. And Robby’s fratty friends, Mike and Johnny and Billy, who were all pretty much interchangeable.
So maybe it was time to mix things up a little. Maybe somebody just had to make the first move.
Charlotte leaped out of the pool and marched right over to Marcus and Valerie, dripping water on the flagstones.
“Hi, again!” she said. “You’re Valerie, right? Great to meet you.” She extended a wet hand. “I’m Charlotte von Klaus. C for short. Welcome to Silver Oaks.”
