As the ferry pulled up to the dock, I had a sudden flashback of the last time I had come to Orchard Island. I had been 11 years old, on vacation with my friends Allesandra and Stephen Bergam. We had stayed in our own little cottage next to their parents cottage. During our stay, we had met Andrea Lincoln, Todd Kline, and Josh Magnolia. We had all had a great time playing on the island and we had stayed in touch over the years. Now we were all going to college and this was our reunion.
    Out of the five friends, my best friend was probably Todd, because we had so much in common. We both play ice hockey, we both love running, we have the same favorite color, (black), and we both are only children.
    After getting off the ferry, I pulled my stuff up the walkway to the girls cottage. After I unpacked, I threw my suitcase in the corner of the closet. Just then, someone called,
"Hello? Who's up there?"
It was Allesandra.
"Cassidy!!!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around me. I was helping her pick up her stuff when Andrea burst in. We all laughed and hugged and then I stepped back and surveyed them. Allesandra had long, straight brown hair; caramel colored eyes; small hands; and she was pretty tall. Andrea was short and she had shoulder length, wavy brown hair, big blue eyes, and plump pink lips. I was pretty tall, too, with short, curly blond hair; brown eyes; and reddish lips. I was wearing my black leggings, navy sweatshirt, rainbow socks, and brown boots. Allesandra was wearing Sweetie Sweats, a green tank top, and sneakers. Andrea was wearing a purple sarong, a pink sweatshirt, blue cowboy boots, and she was lugging a green suitcase. She always had outrageous clothes, accessories, and makeup. Her family was wealthy, so she had gone to a lot of exotic places and picked up cool things.
