Jada had been having the same dream for the past two months. Some nights she was granted the gift of being able to have deep, uninterrupted sleep, but most likely the recurring figment of her imagination would be plaguing her mind until sunrise. It started with her at the same old party with the same old guys, the same old music playing and the same old outfits glimmering under colorful lights. Slowly, as every beat of whatever tune was playing droned on, the floor began to fall out, wooden panel by panel, until Jada was suspended in blackness, surrounded by nobody but herself as the music played on. Normally, she awoke in a sweat, frustrated, and confused. This morning, Jada Scott pulled herself awake willingly, as if a sense of confidence had been planted in her soul in the last week.


It was summer, after all.


The redhead yawned, still covered from feet to her neck in a pitch black comforter that she insisted on bringing with her to the beach house. Although hot, the blanket kept a sense of security around her while she slept. Lazily, her brown eyes drifted off towards across the room, where her "roommate" supposedly laid. No use, Jada thought to herself as she brought her milky white legs to the edge of her bed. Bryson and Jada were over at the moment. With a sigh, she decided to get on with her day-even if it was only sunrise- and make her daily cup of tea. Although Jada didn't hold the best love morals, she still knew how to take care of her body. The tall and slender woman slid out of bed and reached down into her bag.. err.. pile of contents from her bag that she had dumped onto the floor last night and picked up a small container of tea leaves from home. As if she were gliding, Jada stepped out of the room <p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_06/ebbaaa.gif.ef65b245f38c70d2ff6e4def8ed5ca79.gif" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="133279" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2016_06/ebbaaa.gif.ef65b245f38c70d2ff6e4def8ed5ca79.gif" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p> wearing her sweatshirt and booty shorts, not a care in the world on her back if somebody were to see her. As Jada entered the kitchen, she could see and smell the hints of Acacia's presence: coffee beans and the subsequent delicious odor that filled the house with a comfy odor.


"Morning, Cacia," Jada yelled in no particular direction, making her rough and deep voice heard halfway through the house.


Jada continued through her morning routine, making her tea and then drinking it while scroling through the news on her phone. It was summer, but old traditions lasted in Jada's heart even now.

Ali woke up in a different place than normal from her normal room. She sat up slowly and looked around, noticing her bags and suitcases were placed in the corner of the room and some if not most of her dresses were hanging up in the closet. She moved her large pink blanket off her legs and moved them over to the side of the bed, she placed her feet inside her pink bunny slippers and slowly stood up, so she wouldn't wake her roomie up. Traditionally she only slept in a sports bra and either shorts or just her panties, obviously she couldn't do that here so she wore a plain black shirt and shorts. She opened the door and stepped out into the hallway, she could see her boyfriends door across from her room, she wanted to just walk in and lay down with him and just spend quality time with him. But she snapped back to reality and sighed before walking quietly down the hallway into the kitchen. She turned the corner to hear voices and the smell of coffee. She smiled at both Jada and Casia, "Morning Ladies" she said as she rubbed her eyes and sat down on the island counter. She looked at Casia and wondered if her brother was awake, Ali didn't really see him much hence them arriving there, she played it off as if she could careless if she seen him or not but in all actuality she really did care.
​

She heard Jada yell to Acacia, having already been awake and merely on her phone underneath her heavy comforter, and looked up from her Instagram scrolling as Alianna left. Just because of its reputation as the social media of the stereotypical pink and Starbucks lover didn't mean that Abi couldn't use it. Instagram was actually a rather nice way to get her, if rash, opinions out to the world. She sat up and ran a hand through her short hair with a sigh, glancing to the mirror-like sliding doors that led to their balcony. Abi chuckled at her rather messy hair and stood, walking into the main area of the house where the kitchen and living areas were located in her usual sleeping attire: a band t-shirt. Today just happened to be an AC/DC day, and the shirt covered down to just above her knees. That was the benefit of buying band t-shirts one or two sizes too large, she could wear them like this.





"Heya," she addressed to everyone awake, yawning and casually opening the fridge to pull out a carton of milk. She shoved the fridge shut with her hip and opened the carton, drinking straight from it for a sip before grabbing a glass. They'd all known each other long enough that she was sure no one cared, and if they did, well, it was too late now. She sat down on top of the island countertop and sipped from her glass, looking out at the amazing sunrise over the Florida beach that she'd... never see again.





"I'm surprised," she commented, turning herself to face the girls," I'm usually the last one up. The guys must have had one heck of a night."





She chuckled to herself at this, but it was true, she was not a morning person.

6:45 AM Monday After Senior Graduation

Spoiler

Bryson had woken at 5:00 that morning to catch the waves. In summer he could surf the waves along with the concrete. He hadn't kept track on time, and stepping into the beach house kitchen where everyone seemed to be gathering shows how long he's been out. It was no surprise where he'd been since his friends knew of his morning ritual. The salt water dripping from his blonde locks, the white sand on his feet, the towel on his shoulders, and his board shorts were also huge hints.


Always the earliest to wake, he was surprised that everyone else was up. He checked the time on the oven finally realizing he'd been out for over an hour and a half.


"Woah, morning guys. You're all up early," he stated as he reached for his protein shake in the fridge.


Acacia made him promise he'd be "clean" the whole while he'd here, and so far he hasn't broken his promise. But, he wasn't feeling the best either. He'd have to share a room with Jada. This usually wouldn't be a problem since they've shared a room each time they came here, except this time they broke off right before they'd arrived. This meant it was too late to switch rooms. Their breakups were very usual and it felt like it'd been the 50th time they broken up, but really, it's been around 10.


Bryson set his surfboard aside leaning on a wall and took a seat the the dining table. Usually he'd greet Jada with a hug from the back and soft kisses on her cheek, but he chose to keep his distance. They'd eventually figure it out, but he needed his space.

This Monday, Elliot was a hundred percent sure, was easily the best Monday of his entire life. This Monday was the first Monday in forever that Elliot woke up early on purpose. He woke up and he was happy. They were on the beach, for Christ's sake! He was putting on his bathing suit, not his stupid school clothing. How could one not be excited? Of course, there was that bit of sadness that kept poking Elliot's butt, as after this week together, he and his friends would all be parting ways, but for this week at least, he wanted to forget about that and enjoy himself as much as possible.


It was approximately five in the morning when he awoke and within seconds, he was jumping out of bed. And it was within seconds as well that he had grabbed his neon colored bathing suit from the stack of unfolded clothing that sat beside the door. He wondered what Palmer would think of this, hoe untidy the room was already. Shrugging, he slid out of the loose T-shirt, shorts and undergarments that served as his nightwear and slid up the bathing suit just as quickly, saying "I know you want to peek, but let's not," to his roomate, Palmer, who was awake or asleep, Elliot didn't know. And, because he wasn't muscular and didn't particularly want everyone to be looking at his body, he threw on a loose-fitting Hollister shirt- one with a hot blonde beach babe. Perfect. Not bothering with the comb, Elliot ran his fingers through his curly mane of hair, sighing at the crazy mess. Ah, whatever. It's going to get messed up in the beach anyway. Now, time to wake up Palmer. And what a better way than a blow horn?





Elliot giggled a wicked little laugh and grabbed the blow horn from his 'prank bag.' Skipping over to Palmer, he held it to the other's ear and released the God awful noise, the sound ringing throughout the house. "Good morning, Sleeping Beauty."

Damon King

"The Player"

Sleep; peaceful and refreshing for most, but a curse to Damon. Hot flashes, chilling shivers, and the nightmares all left Damon away from sleep. Sadly the ride back into town, graduation, and the trip to the beach house wore him out enough to bring him to slumber. In the morning he was awoken twice, once for Acacia to bring him down from their room to help make breakfast and second when he fell asleep once again on the couch.


Damon lifted his body from the couch, ever so slightly inching himself closers to Acacia's smile. "What a delightful morning, shame it doesn't even compare to your beauty." The words rolled off his tongue with ease. Damon was in a perfect position to kiss her, but hearing the sounds of all his friends making their way out of their rooms made him seek the comfort of the couch again. And was he comfy; pajama pants, a white tee, and a blanket over him, Damon looked as if he had lived here his entire life.


Damon gave one last look to Acacia, then moved his feet to make her a spot on the couch if she felt inclined.

Palmer holds Alianna's waist and pulls the girl toward's him. "Let's go to the beach, Ali." His girlfriend laughs and shakes her head. The male frowns, remembering that the others can't know about their relationship. Suddenly, a door appears; it opens, showing a secret passage to the beach, a way they could leave without the others noticing. Palmer points it out, but before Alianna can look at the random door, the fire alarm goes off. In a quarter of a second, the alarm sucks Palmer out of his dream world and continues into reality.

The male tries to escape the noise flowing into his left ear, but his plan causes him to fall out of the bed and hit the floor with a thud. The blow horn rings in his ear, even after it ends, and Palmer groans from the ground. His tired mind starts to build with anger until a familiar voice greets him. Although being refereed to as a Disney princess isn't the best confidence-booster, Palmer laughs and manages to stand up, though still slightly tangled in his sheets. The male kicks the remaining bedding off of him and rubs the back of his head with his hand, playing off the slight headache his roommate had caused.

"Thanks, Elliot; I didn't want to wake up peacefully while on vacation." Palmer checks the clock on the bed side table and stretches his arms over his head. Something about reaching his arms up always wakes him up. "I smell coffee; let's go see if there's breakfast!" Palmer smiles at the other male and leaves the room quickly, more worried about food than finishing his dream or getting dressed.

Palmer finds his way to the kitchen, enjoying the familiar feeling of the beach house's layout. Although it might seem silly, he is going to miss the building as much as the laughter and conversations. To him, it feels like the memories he and his friends have shared here still live in the walls. The teen wears a white t-shirt and navy blue boxers, and his left ear still rings a bit as he waves to the others. Palmer meets eyes with Ali and he smiles, probably a bit too much. "What's for breakfast, you guys?"

Kylynn woke to the soft ringing of her phone. Giant Woman from Steven Universe continuously playing as she forgot to turn her alarm off for the summer. She smiled at the thought of summer, her last before college. She has kind of been counting down to the days, but now that they were she was sad. But she didn't dwell on the thought, she was going to enjoy her last summer with her friends, hopefully drama free.

Kylynn raises herself and lays herself against the headboard. Looking over to her boyfriend, she smiles. She decided to let him sleep, and she slipped out of bed, her legs being exposed to the heat as she was wearing grey shorts and a black tank top. She quietly leaves the room, making her way past the door of other rooms. She soon makes it into the dining room, hoping to find it empty, but she noticed a few of her house mates up and about.

Morning, she says while walking into the kitchen. She opens the fridge and pulls out orange juice carton. In the process of finding a cup, she puts her hair down, she thought it was too hot to have it up.

So what're we doing for today, if we are going to hang out? She says looking throughout the room at her present friends. Hey Jada. She greets the teenage girl who was scrolling through her phone.

Levi

Mood: Sleepy


Mentions: @ALittleRed @Cosimia @Keira Winston @Huntrey




Instead of the usual birds, Levi woke up to the salty smell of the waves and the soft sounds when the water met the sand. Even as Jada yelled at Acacia, Levi did not budge. He was a pretty heavy sleeper, and snored on the occasion. He wondered how Kylynn could sleep peacefully next to him.


Levi felt around the bed, his eyes still shut. His girlfriend was no where to be found. Levi sighed; he really wanted to hug her first thing in the morning. A bit disappointed, he rubbed his eyes and ruffled his hair. The smells of breakfast lingered into his room. Thoughts of orange juice and coffee made his stomach rumble. He slowly made his way out of bed. Though half awake, Levi was eager to join the group in the kitchen. He stopped over at the bathroom first to wash his face.


"Hey everyone." he greeted as he stepped into the kitchen. Levi opened the kitchen door, followed by a huge yawn. He poured himself a glass of orange juice. Looking around the kitchen, he saw a box of pancake mix. "Pancakes sound great about..." He stopped mid-sentence as he saw Acacia chatting with Damon.


"At least she's happy." Levi thought. He shrugged to himself and looked around for Kylynn. He found her sitting next to Jada. "There you are~" he sat down next to her with a sleepy smile. "Hey Jada." he quickly greeted the redhead before turning back to Kylynn. "Cool, we both have orange juice."

The redhead half smiled and half frowned once her friends began to fill up the room. Some acknowledged Jada's presence, in which she responded to with a perfectly timed laugh or flick of the hair, but others (including her now ex-boyfriend) simply passed by. Being.. well.. Jada meant a constant need for attention. The girl chugged down her tea quickly as others were conversing in the common area, a well-known feel filling the air. Freedom. Jada slid over towards Bryson's direction, making brief eye contact with him before tugging herself away. Holding her coffee mug in one finger, the redhead made her way to the couch.


"Morning, Damon," she said, her voice smooth as silk. To others, it was her usual dark way of communicating, but between just the two, there was something more inside.


Without missing a beat, she turned around on her bare heels to meet the crowd of newly-graduated kids, no, adults.


"Excellent question, Kylynn. It looks like we're all out of options," she spoke sarcastically with a wave of the butt in the direction of the ocean in front of them. "Hope you brought your swimsuit," She quipped, obviously knowing that everybody had.

 

[Keira Winston]

The kitchen grew to be noisy as everyone began to wake up. These sounds were so familiar to Acacia, it was something she'd hear every morning for the next 3 months. She tried not to think about what was to come after. Some would stay in SoCal and find their way through life, like Bryson for example. Others, like herself, would venture off into the world and maybe find something waiting for them.


She snapped out of her daydream once her ex walked by. Her head turned to glance and Levi and his new arm candy, Kylynn. She'd probably glanced for a few seconds too long before taking a seat next to Damon on the couch. They were in perfect position to kiss, but they weren't much for pda.


"Maybe later then..." she whispered into his ear smirking.


Cacia became alert again when Levi mentioned a breakfast of pancakes. Though, she wasn't sure if the conversation was directed toward her, she took back to her habits.

"Actually, I'll make my own breakfast. Who's up for a smoothie and granola bars?" she ask no one in particular.


Acacia had been vegan for a year and a half now, and that meant she couldn't eat how she normally would. It was a nuisance especially when she went out to dinner with her friends. Sometimes it meant she could only order a salad.


Cacia stood up and made her way toward the kitchen to make her breakfast. On the way she grabbed her bestfriend's arm dragging her along so they could make breakfast together.


"C'mon Abi, I'm not doing this all myself," she giggled dragging her.

Elliot smiled and nodded in agreement, not oblivious to the sarcasm from Palmer, but pretending to be. "I know," he said in a matter-of-fact tone, trailing Palmer out of the door as he walked out, "That's why I chose the loudest way possible. You looked like you were having a good dream, by the way. My guess: Boobs. Not just any kind either. Big ones." Elliot nodded briefly at the others in greeting, wishing them a good morning before heading straight to the fridge. His eyes widened in delight at the Reese's Puffs sitting on top of the counter. His favorite cereal in the entire world. Fattening? Sure. But delicious. He made himself a bowl and sit down at the table with some of the others. "Mornin'. Ooh! I'll tale a smoothie!" He said, completely ignoring the fact that he already had breakfast.

I see that you nerd. She smiled to her boyfriend. Everyone was now out of bed and Kylynn liked the company. She turns to Acacia as she begins to talk.

I'll just have some yogurt, but thanks for the offer. She smiles at Acacia. It was a genuine smile. Everyone thought that Kylynn hated Acacia, but she didn't. The girl was to sweet to hate, and they did go to the same dance studio since they were little, since Kylynn's mother was a teacher there. After Acacia gives her a nod and grabs Abi back to the kitchen, Kylynn turns back to Levi.


I was thinking of going on a... Before she could finish her sentence Elliot walks into the kitchen.

Morning, idiot. She ruffles his hair, as he sits down beside her, a bowl of cereal in his hand. Elliot and Kylynn had been friends for a long time as well. She saw him as a brother, and even though he was sometimes very childish, more than her, he gave some damn good advice.

Elliot groaned as Kylynn ruffled his hair, grabbing her hand on top of his hand and pulling it away. He hated when people did that. It messed up his quote 'flawless hair.' He jabbed her belly with his finger when she called him an idiot. "I'm not an idiot. Besides, it takes one to know one." He laughed a bit as he took a big bite of his cereal, some of the milk dribbling onto his chin, which he carelessly licked away. He was such a messy eater, it was quite sickening. But you got used to it after a while. He too saw Kylynn as a sister, most of his friends he did. He was just that kind of guy, having no trouble fitting in with people. "Hurry and make my smoothie, woman! We've gotta go to the beach."

Mood: Hungry

Levi almost forgot that Acacia was vegan. "Shoot, should've suggested something everyone could eat..." However, before he could open his mouth for another suggestion, everyone started to make their own breakfasts. He wondered if Acacia remembered all those attempts he made to cook her a good vegan meal. Those times were pretty fun.


Before he got too lost in thought, Levi couldn't help but laugh at Kylynn's response. "Just thought it was cute to point out, Lynnie." he said as he sipped some of his orange juice as Elliot made his grand entrance. His smile grew bigger; Elliot truly knew how to liven up the morning. Levi looked outside to see the ocean, just a few feet from him and all his friends. The ocean looked so clear that you could see small patches of fishes here and there.


"Going for a swim sounds super fun...though I'm really up for anything." he said to no one in particular. He was about to head over to the kitchen to make some pancakes until Acacia and Abi got up. Levi sat back down too quickly. "That would be awkward.." he thought as he turned back to face Kylynn,


"What did you want to go on again?" he curiously asked his girlfriend. His stomach growled a tiny bit, but he had no response.
​

 

[amxlia]

She groaned over dramatically but let her friend drag her along. While she personally snuck a doughnut every once in a while, she wasn't against helping Acacia with her being vegan.





"So, smoothies and granola bars now," she commented with a smirk," no fruit salad?"





Admittedly she was glad to be away from Bryson. She was always a bit awkward around him and more flustered than usual. Opening one of the cupboards and digging through it aimlessly, she thought over it. She'd had a crush on Bryson for... longer than she could remember, and she'd always been a bit awkward around him. Okay, a lot awkward and she hid it from the others by leaving practically any room he entered.

Bryson's emerald eyes locked onto Jada's. He stared at her for a few seconds deciding whether to talk to her or not before turning away and rolling his eyes. Jada had always needed attention, so she seemed to keep all eyes on her by playing her games with every guy in sight. What an attention whore, Bryson thought. He could give her the attention as her boyfriend, and he was even better at playing games than she was. But sometimes, he got tired of the drama.


To avoid any awkwardness, he headed to make breakfast with Abi and Acacia. He wasn't sure if it was because he was stoned most of time, but not until now, he has never really seemed to notice that Abi left the room whenever he entered one. Was she avoiding him? or Was he being paranoid? They were never that close, but after all, they were friends.


"Hey guys, could I help you make those granola bars over there?" he asked Abi and Cacia. He personally could not understand how someone could go vegan since his diet was about 50% protein, but the vegan yogurt granola bars were bomb as hell.

So you admit it, huh idiot? Answering Elliot, she takes a quick sip of her orange juice. And I gladly accept my idiocy, for you I'd never deny it.

Turning back to Levi she smiles at the swimming remark. Bet I can beat you in a competition to the rock and back, Jeans. I mean, if you're up for it. She raises her eyebrow as she questions Levi.

Kylynn was always competitive, definitely against her athletic boyfriend. She usually lost, but she had confidence with this one. Swimming was always her thing, something her mother didn't approve of because the latter believed that she could use her legs for dancing and not fluttering for the front stroke.

And I was wondering if you'd like to go on a walk, you know to ease your nerves before our race. If you're even going to accept. She places a piece of her hair behind her ear, while shrugging. She wanted to do something a bit personal and was hoping that her boyfriend would accompany her. Yet, she didn't want to say that in front of her other friends. So her cockiness poured out, cause he knew she was a good swimmer.

I mean after you eat. Cause you sure do sound hungry, babe.

She chuckled as she heard his stomach growl.

She had just been grabbing the oats she knew Acacia loved to use in her granola bars when Bryson walked in. She didn't notice him at first, paying too much attention to carefully pulling down the loosely closed box, but when she turned around... disaster struck. She was surprised by a person in general there all of a sudden and jumped a bit, the box slipping out of her hands. It hit the ground and practically exploded, sending itsy bitsy oat pieces flying across the floor. She stood stock still for a moment, not sure what to do, and couldn't help but look up at the person she'd nearly run into. Of course it was Bryson, it


had to be Bryson. She swallowed hard, knowing she couldn't really just up and leave without an awkward discussion later.


Her eyes flicked to the oat-covered ground and she immediately dove to her knees, starting at picking up her mess while attempting to calm herself down. She could keep her cool around Bryson, but it took immense will power that she usually wasn't able to muster up even on normal occasions, and definitely not 'on the fly'.


(Have to do that thing called sleeping now, goodnight everyone!)

Ali smiled as each of her friends walked into the room, she felt a little sad that after this year this would be the last time they have to do this. Ali zoned out for a moment but snapped out of it when she felt two eyes on her, she looked up to see Palmer looking at her, she smiled back at him but kept it casual. She had a wave of guilt come over her, she hated keeping secrets but she also knew that she had to. Her gazed shifted over to her brother as he walked in lazily, Ali rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything to him.

She perked up when she heard Jada mention something about a swim suit, oh Ali was beyond excited to go out to the beach and tan, the only thing Ali wouldn't do is swim mainly because Ali doesn't know how, plus sharks. "Sure I'll take a smoothie" she got down off the counter and went and sat down in the living room, she figured that they would have enough help to make them, plus she couldn't cook to save her life. She sat at an angle so she could still see and hear everyone.

In the small interval of sleep that Damon had thought he found, the whole house awoke for their first day together. Damon lifted his head to take it all in, both excited and nervous for what lied ahead. So many people he considered his closest friends, but after being away back for only a year made him feel a bit out of place. Relationships had begun and ended while he was away, but there was still one person that could make an impact on him easily.

"Morning, Damon,"




The voice made him shudder, too many emotions flowing through him with the silky smooth tone. Damon looked at Jada climbing down the stairs, looking up and down her body. He smiled at her, but then quickly turned to the many others joining them. Damon finally spotted his sister after sitting up on the couch, but was surprised with Palmer tugging on her. Alianna saw him, but it was apparent they weren't the same after he left.

Damon finally got up off the couch, pajamas, blanket, and all draped over him. He walked over to the stairs, his walk regal and graceful to match his appearance. Heading up to his room with Acacia he picked out his swim suit and put it on. It was actually quite tame for someone who liked to show off his body; consisting of jammers and a tight shirt. Walking, more like strutting, Damon made his way to the kitchen.

"Smoothies and granola bars, sometimes I wonder how you survive dear." Damon stood behind Acacia, striking a pose and awaiting her judgement of the outfit. In the mean time he turned to Bryson, "After the smoothie want to see if the beach has any good waves?". Damon didn't have the best relationship with most of the guys in the group, considering he'd hit on their significant others at some time or another. Jada has had some time with Bryson, but it never seemed serious and Damon didn't think he was stepping any bounds. Though, he never really cared about those in the first place.

Bryson watched Abi freak out scattering the the oats across the tiled kitchen floor. She looked as if she were in shock.


"God damn, you look like you've seen a fucking ghost," He chuckled smiling.


He was really oblivious, not knowing Abi's true feelings for him, but he wasn't that close to her either. He thought he'd help since he'd caused part of the mess.


"Did I sneak up on you or something?" he asked joking as he opened a cabinet. He grabbed the old dusty sweeper and grabbed the dustpan along with it.


"Here, I'll help you clean that hell of a mess," he said rushing over to help Abi. He paced the dustpan in her hand slightly brushing it with his own though not really noticing. He was just about to sweep up some of the oats before hearing a deep, but smooth, voice question him. He turned seeing a tall figure clad in tight swimwear. Bryson would've questioned why he was wearing jammers, but it wasn't surprising since it was Damon. He'd flaunt everything, everything.


"Bro, you missed them. The waves are always better before sunrise," he stated bluntly.


Damon was basically the male version of Jada, they both lived on attention. Instead of walking, they strutted and they never hesitated to grab anyone's significant other. This is why Bryson wasn't the most supportive when Acacia began dating Damon. Cacia was like a sister to him, and he knew Acacia was going to get hurt. He didn't know how, but he knew someone like Damon would be the kind to two-time. Acacia was better off with Levi, and it was the biggest news when they broke up. Kylynn was so sweet, she'd never steal someone else's man, everyone would know. That's why it was one of the stupidest reasons to end their relationship, but it was too late, Acacia had already fallen for the wrong person.


Bryson usually wouldn't miss a chance to surf, but he didn't like to get involved in drama and preferred surfing alone. He didn't want to seem rude, so he decided to make a believable excuse- surfing the asphalt.


"I'm actually going skating at the skatepark later..." he stated turning back to Abi," so would you like to come?"

Acacia raised her perfectly defined brow when Abi asked about the fruit salads. Then she rolled her eyes laughing realizing her best friend had mocked her. Acai bowls had been her previous obsession, and everyone had known.


"No, I think I'll make my ace bowl or "fruit salad" whatever you call it, later for snack."


Acacia laughed watching Abi struggle with the Bob's Red Mill Organic Oats. Every year, the friends came into the house which was neat and tidy. After the 3 month stay, they left it as a dump. Almost no one knew how to clean up after themselves, but apparently they've all gotten better because the most unlikely person, Bryson, began helping Abi out.


"Wow, so this year you decided to look after yourself," Cacia stated rolling her eyes.


She continued cutting up the strawberries and blueberries and tossing them in the blender before a deep, husky voice commented on her lifestyle.


"Well I do have my cheat days..." she said with a wink. Her cheat days came rarely, maybe when all her friends decided to call her up to get in-n-out, but she hasn't broken her habit in a long while. She laughed as Damon struck a pose waiting for her approval.


"Umm no... how about no?" she giggled, "I can see all your junk." Acacia stuck her arm out pretending to be disgusted. She even pretended to puke, but really, she couldn't keep her eyes off of him, which was what he wanted.

Levi smirked as Kylynn challenged him to a swimming race. "It's on, babe." Despite being a total sweetheart, Kylynn was...well, a bit different when it came to competition. It really thrilled Levi to see a different side of her. Seeing her excited about going against him was pretty cute. The pair liked to do small challenges to keep each other on their toes. Levi usually had an advantage, but he wasn't a competitive swimmer.


This time, the competition would be pretty even. Kylynn was a pretty good dancer, and she used her legs a lot. Acacia also happened to go to the same dance class as Kylynn...


"Ugh, this is getting out of hand" he thought as Abi spilled granola all over the kitchen floor. He got up to help as Bryson got there first. Levi smiled. Bryson was one of his best friends; Levi was super happy he came to the beach house as well. A few moments later, Damon came into the kitchen. Levi gulped. He didn't really know what to think of Damon...he had a interesting reputation with girls, but he seemed to make his ex happy. As long as she was smiling, Levi didn't want to judge him all too quickly.


"Hey guys, let me help you." Levi said to Bryson and Abi as he grabbed another broom and started to sweep up the oats. "Lynnie, do you want anything to eat?" he asked his girlfriend. He tried to avoid eye contact with Acacia and Damon. It was pretty awkward being around both of them...in fact, Acacia and Levi barely talked ever since they broke up. Levi really didn't know what to say, but he kept staring at her. And thinking about her. Way too often. However, he didn't want this awkward feeling to linger for the entirety of the trip. All of them were going away to college soon, and Levi wanted to at least be on good terms with both Acacia and Damon. Whatever that could mean.
