Just a taste

Here is an exerpt from my up and coming book.....just the first of many..

“I’m not sure what I should be looking for anyway.” Jared said throwing another brochure at her hitting the back of the one she was reading.

She put it down and looked at the one he discarded. They all looked the same to her. The smiling faces and good looking teens all wearing perfect cloths and even one had pictures of the beaches near the college where there were girls in bikinis. “You sure you don’t like the surfing college?” She asked throwing it back at him. He was lying on his bed his head propped up on pillows. He rolled his eyes putting the brochure aside.

“Oh yeah I can just imagine me surfing and getting attacked by a shark. My leg getting bitten off…” He paused then began in a softer tone. “At least my mom might notice me.” He sat up leaning on his knees. “Maybe I should just take a year off like you. It’ll give me time to decide.”

Giving him a skeptical glare she said. “You just want to go with me.”

He shrugged his shoulders. “Is it so wrong to want to go to college with your best friend? Maybe I’d miss you.”
