the sun beams brightly onto my skin but

its still rather cold out

cant focus on the temperature, i should be more worried about what im gonna do

Although I don't exactly like the beach, I honestly needed a week off, schools been so boring lately, and my dads been on my nerves.

I've mostly been sleeping the whole car ride, it's only around 3 hours to Virgina Beach, so not much is important to be awake for.

When I have been awake though I've been picking at this scab on my knee, forgot even how I got it. I think I must've fallen during hiking with Evan.

Oh yeah, I forgot he's in this car too.

The only thing I hate about vacations is how early you gotta wake up.

I'm stumbling out of bed, half drunk, barely dressed and grabbing luggage to shove in the car, while Evan over here is wide awake like a damn dog.

Well, atleast I know he's happy to come along.

I wanna eat some strawberry icecream.....

Wake up, we're here.

Huh? Oh. Thank you.

It's not a bad house, not that I want to hang out in it yet. I wanna go straight to the beach!

Evan! When you're done unpacking all the stuff, come to the beach!

Alright!

He's gotta do all the hard work. ha...

The beach is pretty nice honestly, there's some people around, none of them seem too interesting sadly.

This one guy looks pretty cool and in shape, but a bit too old. Probably 18? No thanks.

There's a alt girl hanging out in the sand, but with her group of friends. Marina told me this a few days ago, never try to talk to a girl with her friends near them. You'll get chewed out really badly all the time.

Well, that's not a girl thing. If some random people walked up to me and Damian and tried to be friends I'd dislike them too.

shit.

I haven't hung out with Damian in like two weeks! I've been so lazy after school ended I never did anything with him!

Well, I'm at the beach now for this week, I'm sure he won't mind me being busy. After all I-

Have you gotten in the water yet?

No, I was sitting in the sand looking at people.

Why?

You can see how someone is just by how they look and interact with people around them.

Look, you see that buff guy over there?

Yeah?... Why's that the first one you point out.

What? No cause. Whatever. Watch how he plays volleyball.

He plays like usual, but is way too reactive, yelling, going for spikes, and acts like a frat bro.

So what would you think about them.

Hype guy, thinks games are for dorks, probably does steroids, partys every night, has a crate full of condoms, and will get arrested for domestic abuse in 4 years.

Yup.

Now what about that girl?

I point back to the alt chick from before, wanna know what he thinks.

Probably... rude, works as a starbucks, but will end up as an artist or some sort of office job?

Maybe, when they're more puzzling like that you don't really know. Which is why you wanna meet them.

Do you?

Uh- Not really. It was just a example.

Hey let's do it while we're dry!

FUCK.

Wait! Can't you see she's with her friends?

Yeah? I butt into friend groups all the time, people are sure to notice you that way.

I guess?...

Okay look, I'm not trying to hit on them. They could live here or really far, long distance relationships never work, I've seen it in movies!

You can still be friends with random people online.

Yeah, but if they ask if like. We're trying to hit on them. Uh.

Just say your my boyfriend, Don't take it too damn far like Damian did one time.

Hehe, yeah I can do that.. What did Damian do?

Okay, so at Barry's Icecream I wanted a couples milkshake, they're like two times larger than a basic once and cheap. The guy required that I'm atleast with someone, so I had Damian come out of the truck as proof. He thought it was the funniest thing ever I just wanted a larger milkshake; and started to make a damn fool of me! He put on the gayest fucking voice you could've ever heard, starting scratching my hair, and was so close to my side I would've punched him if he couldn't turn me to paste.

Jesus, sorry.

Nah I mean, it was really funny to be fair. But jesus christ, you don't gotta prove anything for the act!

So please, just act normal.

Alright alright.

What do you wanna ask them though?

Er. I guess "Hey you look pretty cool, wanna be friends?"

Don't ask for their number so early like you did with me!

Okay okay.

This is going to go terribly.

Hey, me and my friend thought yo-

Not interested. I'm talking to my girlfriend.

Wha- I mean they just wanted to be friends!

I have enough, go ask someone else you basic bitch!

Not your friend, they got cool hair.

Well. That could've been worse.

What the hell, I just said hi!

Hahah! That's a alt girl for ya!

I'm not that basic...

You look basic, I'm just in black swimshorts, but the wolfcut and glasses make me stand out.

Should I get glasses then?

No thats not. You gotta grow out your hair im sure, have it stylized well rather than just a little bit past your ears and ruffled.

Okay fine... I'll head to the water now. I'm sweating honestly.

Are you TRYING to get a tan or something? You're already pretty tanned.

What?

Im filipino. Fucking racist.

Oh. I just thought you had a tan.

Dude. Could you seriously not know.

No.

Well, That's probably why Damian thinks you're racist.

I'm not- Uugghh!

The waters nice, but the waves are too tired today. It's quite boring even when farther out.

Not much happens at the beach, atleast that I can remember, eventually we head back to the house and the days pass on.

I miss my friends a little, we're close to the end of the trip and wanna talk to them again.

Evan.

Huuh...?

Do you have Marina's number on your phone, or a way to message her.

Noo.. I don't talk to her much.

Ah. Damn.

Well. I'll go back to bed then, goodnight.

Uhh huhh...

I wanna atleast message Damian. He doesn't have a phone though, and if I call his home one then theres a chance his dad would pick up.

Funnily enough Damian's family is actually pretty respectful and kind. I dunno why he didn't turn out the same honestly. Maybe it was church.

His dad's too kind, which is probably why Damian gets away with so much.

I dunno. I don't talk to them much. They like me and are glad I'm friends with Damian so he doesn't have a bad influence. I don't really get that. He IS the bad influence, I'm just not easily influenced!

I don't actually know many people at my school honestly. Well, not that I like many people in the first place.

...

God damn it. I can't sleep.

What time is.. Oh, 4am, thats not awful.

I guess I could go get a drink and hang out in the living room. I feel like if I play anything on the Xbox we brought though my mom would magically wake up and kill me.

It takes a bit to sneak out of the room without making any noise, but eventually I do it. Evans passed out, we did do a bunch of swimming yesterday, so I can see why.

We got some left over pizza, so I'll just microwave that, with some milk, aaanddd.... some brownie.

I guess if my mom asks where the food went I'll say I had it for breakfast while she was showering in the morning.

Well, she probably wouldn't care I couldn't sleep at 4am. It's not super late like 1.

Whatever, the foods pretty good, now what though? its 4:30. I don't think anyones gonna be awake until around 7.

I guess I can just check social media until I fall asleep on the couch.

Hey.

AAHH!

SHHHH!!!

Sorry.

Be quiet, did you wake your mom up?

...

I don't hear anything. I think I'm clear.

No, we're good.

Why are you up? It's... 5:30.

Same as you I'd guess? Waves are too loud, I'm not used to it.

Yeah. same here...

The suns almost starting to rise, you wanna. Go watch it?

Sure, I'm just trying to pass the time since I can't fall back asleep.

When did you wake up anyways?

4, was gonna call Damian but i'd feel like it'd just go to his parents.

Why's that?

Nothing, he just doesn't own a phone.

...

How?

He's not the richest you know.

Oh, my bad.

I know I've kinda said it a few times, but Damian isn't the best influence for you. If he hasn't cared to call you this whole time then he probably just isn't that great of a person in the first place.

...

I guess so.

Sorry, I just kinda worry for you.

?

Uh. Like.

Nothing.

Was that girl really gonna ask if we were hitting on her?

Huh?

You know, when you said we were dating. Was that needed?

Sorry, it was just a precaution.

I mean- Did..

You know.

I'm not a damn mind reader, no I don't!

No I don't, you can say it.

Do you really wanna date me like that?

You act like I just met you, sure. I don't care honestly.

Hah... Thanks.
