Under your circumstances, you can be considered a resident of both states depending on whether you come back to CA for the summer.
If you have received a summons for jury duty in MA, then you have registered to vote there or have a MA DL, in which case then you should serve according to the summons. If you received a summons from CA and are living in MA, then you can advise CA that you have moved and do not have to serve.
If you are asking so you know, then there really isn't a good answer, since it will all depend upon when you get a summons for. For instance, you won't have to serve in MA if you are home for the summer in CA. And likewise, you shouldn't have to serve in CA during the school year in MA.
If you have a more specific question, email me.

You must be a resident of the state to serve jury duty. What state do you file your taxes in. That should answer the question for you.

jury duty is pulled from your voter registration or your driver's license, so you probably are registered in CA and your DL is probably from CA as well, so you will only be called up from CA, which means you could probably get out of it by saying you're a student

Do you still have an address in California? Is that where your parents live, and are you still their dependent? Where are you registered to vote? Where do you have your driver's license? Those are the things that establish your legal residence.
