Narrative

One summer, Nadine Velasquez went to California. She went with her mom, dad, and her friend Jen.

When they walked out of the plane, they instantly felt the warm air. They were so excited to go to the beach and walk around. Jen and Nadine ran inside their hotel room and threw their bags down.

"I was so excited to finally get to see California," said Jen.

"We put on our bathing suits and ran out to the door," said Nadine.

The air was so warm, and the water was so cold. It was perfect. Nadine and Jen walked on the sand and saw all the people in their bathing suits and flip flops and loved it. They put down their towel and took off their shoes and layed in the sun to warm up.

Once they were warm enough, they ran into the water splashing each other. There were these two girls in the water that looked around their age.

"Oh my god, I know this wonderful ice cream place want to come with us?" asked one of the girls.

"Sure," said Jen and Nadine.

As the four girls were walking down the street, they looked at everything around and thought it all looked so cool. They arrived at the ice cream shop and they all ordered chocolate ice cream with cookie dough in it.

The two other girls were from New York but had been there already many times, so they knew about a lot of interesting places.

All of a sudden, Nadine's mom called her on her cell phone and asked them to come home. It was getting really late and it was already dark. Jen was a little scared to walk home but Nadine assured her that everything would be fine.

The two other girls went back to their hotel which was the opposite way. Jen and Nadine were walking down the street minding their own business and then these creepy guys in this huge truck drove past them and stared at them. Then they did it again.

"NADINE! Those guys just drove past us twice they're kind of creeping me out," said Jen.

"Chill out, we'll be fine," said Nadine.

They kept walking and the truck started to follow them. Nadine saw the hotel and knew they would be home safely in a couple of minutes if they kept walking. Then, Nadine saw a shortcut that they could go through. The kept walking on the same street and the guys would drive past and talk to them.

"Just ignore them Jen," said Nadine.

They kept walking and the guys were about to get out of their truck when Nadine told Jen to follow her and they started running as fast as they could. The guys tried to follow them, but they couldn't catch up.

Jen and Nadine arrived at the hotel and went up to their room and just sat there trying to proccess what had just happened. They didn't say one word to eachother. They eventually fell asleep and they never told Nadine's parents what happened that night.
