"FUCK YES." I whisper my face pressed against the window whilst my body half on Reuben as I stare at the beach outside.

It was gorgeous. Those houses were gorgeous.

The bus rolled to a stop and excited chatter filled the bus making me practically jump in my seat. I was so ready to jump in the water.

"Quiet!" Ms. Lennon shouted. "Now we have a few rules to straighten out. Who here other then Mr. Hayes can't swim?" Nobody raised their hands as we all glanced each other for confirmation. "Good." She nodded checking her clipboard.

"The girls will be divided between the three houses while the boys will be staying in the rental shacks." Moans of agonies chorused through the boys making the girls spite them with winning smiles. "I didn't ask for your opinions. Now quickly go to your assigned houses, unpack and then off to the beach. Be careful and responsible. I do not want to have to bring a dying or drowned person back to school. Understood?"

"Yes we all answered impatiently as she let us put. Everyone stampeded out of the bus nearly flailing out the door. I jumped down my white sneakers hitting the grainy sand and breathed in the fresh salty air.

Jordan ran to Emery who grinned and kissed him. I smiled at her when she caught my eye and walked forward for other people to exit the bus.

Aaron came behind me holding his bag over one shoulder while he brought down his black ray-bans sunglasses from his head. His dark brown hair flew in the wind as he looked around. "The shack looks ugly." He noted at the brown wooden mass that was called a place to stay.

"Don't be a mood-kill." I teased walking towards the ocean. I bent down and rested the water feeling euphoric to have it just the right temperature. Not too cold and not too hot.

"Says the one who has that." He says nodding towards the two story white trimmed beach house with plants spilling out its crystal windows. It looked pretty darn good. "Lucky you."

I straightened back up chuckling. I straightened my white denim shorts that I had paired with a black and grey lined sweater. The sun kissed at my skin as I looked at the small hill at the far side where stumps stood out the water. Fun place to jump.

"I never knew Archdale had pretty beaches." I murmured scouring the place with my eyes as girls and boys ran into their places checking them out and changing. "I always thought it was more of a field type land."

"Archdale is know for weird weathers and even weirder places you find." Aaron mused. "Blue Haven... that's something you have to see."

I turn back to him curiously. "You talk about Blue Haven a lot. Special place?"

"Home town." He amended rubbing the underside of his jaw. "No place I've ever been has beat that spot. Not even your London could compare."

I raise both my eyebrows at him. "Challenging me?" He shrugged.

"Just facts. When you come over for Christmas I'll take you there. It's not that far from my place anyway." I nodded and picked up my bag.

"I'm going to go change." I excused myself and ran into my beach house. I went up the wooden deck towards the Dutch doors which were colored teal with seashells strung on the top door. I went in and looked at the small kitchen island and up the wooden stairs.

"Howdy partner." Sersha jumped in my way cheerily. "Look at this place."

"It's amazing." I say looking at the rooms. "I'm sharing with you right?"

"Spot on." She popped scooting aside to let me entered. "I'm so excited."

"Me too." I squeal back at her looking at the sea foam green wooden bedecked walls and the twin beds on either sides with blue sheets.

I hopped my bag on one grinning. "You have to see my swimsuit. It's so pretty." Sersha said pulling out a two piece. It was a green marble dyed swimsuit that looked absolutely stunning.

"You have to tell me where you got this from." I exclaimed touching the fabric. I pulled out a black triangle bikini with sunflowers on it. "This is what I got."

Sersha gushes forward and touches it. "I love it." She turns to get her stuff and smirks. "Let's go wild this week."

"You know that's my whole intention." I muse and head for the door as she leaves. "Change quick and meet me down." I call out.

...

I walk down in my two piece sewing most of the girls had already gone to the beach or were sitting at the island. Sersha nibbled on a strawberry as she smiled at me approvingly.

"Hot as ever."

"You're too kind." I dramatically say looking out. "Ready to go?"

"Yup." She dusted her hands and linked arms with me as we stepped down the sun hitting us. "Hell I probably need to borrow Maddie's sunscreen. I'll turn red as a tomato." I laugh as my feet hit the grainy sand.

"Good thing I tan." I playfully nudge her as we come in contact with Madison who is rocking a black and white cow print bikini.

"Hello sexy bitches." She chuckled placing a hand on her same print bucket hat as she squirts at us.

"Could say the same about you." I compliment. "Do you have sunscreen?"

She nods at us. "Yeah. It's at my towel." We followed her there towards her red beach towel and she tossed Sersha her sunscreen. "Put that on well. Remember last time?"

The redhead grumbles squirting some on her. A heavy weight slings at my neck and I see Owen breathing deeply wearing his coconut trunks.

"It's a good day to live." He muses his dark skin glowing under the sun. Both his and Madison's looked so graceful.

"Where's Aaron?" I ask looking over my shoulder and then back at him.

"Your man is changing." He sighed looking at his girlfriend. "Now if you excuse me I have my attention to give." I laughed patting his back as Olivia jumped at him and he ran both of them into the sea.

Reuben came forward wearing white swim trunks his body completely on show for a special someone. "Need help?" He asks Sersha who splutters and nods. She hands him the sunscreen and he cautiously applied it to her back while she darted her eyes everywhere.

"Oh to be young and in love." I sigh as Madison hums in agreement.

"To be loved and to cared." She said looking at the boys in the water. "If only they saw me for what I am. A star."

"Then go get them." I nudge her run. "Tyler is totally into you."

"How can you tell?"

"He's staring right at you." I expose the boy who quickly looks away with a blush. "Go." She chuckles and winks at me before jogging off. I went to join her until two fingers hooked on the right of my bikini bottom and pulled me back into a muscled chest.

I looked up knowing who it already was. "Well hello there." I mused turning around to take him in. His whole upper torso was on sight. His abs and chest were toned and flexing as he moved to me with a smirk.

"Are you really checking me out, love?" He charmingly put out. I looked back at his eyes and said.

"Yes I am." I said. "Needed to make sure you'd look good next to me." I add playfully as he scoffs his eyes trailing over my own form.

"You look fucking sexy. I'm entirely tempted to throw you over my shoulder and fuck you in that pretty bed of yours." I blushed at his comment shaking my hand.

"Too bad I'm going swimming." I counter about to step away when he blocked my path.

"Did you put sunscreen on? You're going to get sunburned." Aaron warned me.

I placed my hands on my hips. "I don't need sunscreen." I lied.

"Yes you do." He glanced down and picked up Madison's bottle. "Of course she'd get the glittery kind." He snorted.

"I seriously don't need it." I hated the feel of sunscreen on my skin. It felt so thick and... just different.

Aaron raised his eyebrow at me and squirted the bottle. "The fuck?" He muttered squeezing it but it seemed clogged. He squeezed again only for it to smack out onto my cheek and chest.

My mouth gasped as I let out a cough of laugh. "Thanks a lot." I wipe it off the corner of my lips and try to see where it landed before rubbing it on my chest and neck.

Aaron gave me an apologetic shoulder lift. I really wonder where he learnt empathy from. I finished doing my arms and stomach feeling sticky and shiny. "Turn around." He said and I did.

I felt the cold liquid splat on me and I scrunched my nose. Aaron's rubbed it on to my back slowly making his way to my lower back and tracing back up making me shiver.

"Done." He chimed as I turned. "Legs." I made my way to crouch down but he stopped me midway kneeling down instead.

Something about him kneeling down and staring up at me made me swallow and increase my heart rate. He applied sunscreen into his hands this time and started at my lower calves before working his warm hands higher. I swallowed as he kept his eyes connected to me completely unwavering as his hands massaged my upper thighs his fingers leaving hot trails at the apex of them.

Aaron placed his hand between my thighs making them separate before he grabbed one and applied sunscreen his thumb teasing the very crease of my center and thighs. He did so to the other in the same torturous way but this time he purposefully shifted his thumb inside my bikini bottom touching the sensitive part there before he pulled away quickly standing up.

I clenched my jaw glaring at him for making me feel this way as he looked back at me innocently. "I'm sorry did I leave a spot or something?" He casually put out.

"I hate you." I muttered at him as he slung his arms around my waist loosely and pulled me closer leaning down.

"I fucking love you too." Aaron smirked leaning down and pressing a kiss on my lips. He pulled back with a wicked glint in his eyes.

"What- shit!" I exclaimed as he tossed me over his shoulder and ran to the ocean. I felt water splash on my face from where it hit his feet as he went deeper and tossed me in.

A scream suppressed my throat as the slap of water broke around me and I sunk before swiftly floating back up. I pushed my wet hair back from my face spluttering water and glowering at Aaron's figure underwater.

"Look who joined us." Madison shouted swimming over to me. "I thought you guys would have sand sex."

"Too messy. And uncomfortable." I nonchalantly put out as she gives me a lopsided smile.

"That I can agree to from experience." She laughed as Aaron rose from the water next to me. His wet hair clung water droplets while his body held rivulets of water falling of him as he ran a hand through his hair making it slick back and fall to his forehead in strands.

He licked his lips looking at me. "Good thing you can swim, yeah?" I rolled my eyes at him still pissed.

"You know lovebirds," Madison backstrokes towards me. "This is a public beach. Just saying. The last time I did the deed on one of these a Karen hollered and slapped her bag at me." She sighed as if they were her favorite memories. "But that isn't any better really." We all turned and stood their shocked as Emery and Jordan made out at the far end of the beach.

Aaron placed his hands over my eyes. "Let's keep it PG kids!" He shouted towards them. Emery blew a kiss at him with her middle finger while Jordan rolled his eyes falling in the water.

I moved my arms in slow motion around the water to keep me afloat as I saw Owen and Olivia sun towards us. "I just hatched a brilliant idea."

"I'm going to get out the water." I say crippling my lips in disgust.

"Wrong choice of words then." He muttered at himself.

"What he's trying to say is... who's up for a chicken fight?" Olivia put out joyfully her form bubbling with elation.

"I'm in." I say putting my hand up as did Aaron and Maddie.

"So are we." Sersha sang paddling towards us with Reuben. I darted my eyes between them before wiggling my eyebrows at her. She sunk her face half way in the water to hide her blush.

"No way." Madison objected with a frown. "You all will pair up with your lovers while I have nobody."

"How about we do rounds then?" Reuben suggested slicking his hair back. "Whoever losses the first round leaves the game and the bottom will play with Madison in the next?"

"Fair play." Aaron shrugged. "Jordan and Emery coming?"

"I think they're too busy running off to a shack." Owen laughed hitting as Jordan as they run. "Get it Jordie! Show her what a man really is!" We laughed as they ran faster into the shed slamming the door behind them.

Oh, Jordan.

"Alright." Olivia clapped her hands. "Let's do this."

"I'm your judge guys." Madison said swimming a few metered back so we do not crush her under our right. "Pile yourself up. I don't think choosing bottom and top will be too hard if you know what I mean."

I shake my head as Aaron walks forward his feet touching the ground while I floated. He crouched under water not gaining to my height at all.

"You're still so tall." I complain swimming forward and bracing my hands on his arm. "I won't be able to climb like this. I'll probably end up falling face first."

He chuckled looking to his right so his eyes glanced at me. "This is as low as I can go. Try climbing I won't let you fall." He persuades me.

I take a deep breath pushing from my arms to lift my upper body out the water. I shakily swing one leg over his shoulder which he clasps his hand over my thigh to keep me secure while I put my other leg over his shoulder.

He stands up making me tower higher as he jumps a little to adjust us. "There." He says running his thumb on the side of my thigh as I cross my arms over over his head and rest my chin on his crown while we watch Olivia and Owen struggle.

"Owen I won't be able to hold you." Olivia exclaims at him. "I need to climb up."

"Alright then." He grins nodding. He bends down in the water until his ears. I use my heel to kick Aaron's side.

"Liar." He chuckled at me.

Olivia got onto Owen trembling her arms wrapped around his head and face. "Shit Liv I can't see like this." He muffled through her arms as he tries to get up.

Olivia shrieks tightening her hold. "It feels like I'm on a camel." She admits. She loosens her arms around him and takes a few breaths.

"Come on slow pokes!" Madison hollers. "I'm not getting any prettier in this water."

Reuben helps Sersha gently up his shoulder and stables her. "Ready to go."

"Alright people. Positions." Since were three we were gonna have to knock two people down to get in the final with Madison.

We stood there in a triangle our faces trying to keep serious. "Begin!"

Olivia locks her hands with mine trying to push me off but I had more force and strength seeming she was scared of heights.

"Charge!" Rueben shouts as he runs with Sersha who's arms were outstretched as she pushes Olivia down.

The blonde girl fell with a yelp with Owen. They both gasped up skittering water and frowning.

"Just you and I, Kingston." I smirk locking hands with her as we pushed.

"Come on West." Aaron encourages as he steps onto Reuben's feet.

"Foul play. You can't fight the bottom." He counters.

Madison shrugs. "No harm done so far. Keep it mutual guys."

I wrestle with Sersha who screws her face trying to push me off. I nearly do but tighten my legs hold around Aaron's neck.

"Fuck you body build or some shit?" Sersha pants as I smile.

"Not that I'm aware of no." I say back giving her a final push and hearing her thud in the water. I place my arms above me in victory. "Winner winner chicken dinner." Madison announces coming towards us.

"I'm done." Rueben sighed tiredly. "I'm going to go free swim or shit. Wanna join me?" He asked Sersha and Olivia. They nodded and went with him leaving Owen.

"Oh hell no." Owen gasped. "I can't carry no one no more."

"Yes you can." Madison huffed swimming towards him and getting on his shoulders. "Now Bryce Weston are you ready to lose against this winner?"

"Last time I checked we were here because of me." I muse nonchalantly as the boys got to position.

I laced my fingers with Madison and we began pushing each other. The water splashed under us as the boys struggled to keep stable. Madison was fucking strong.

She loosened her hip letting me push forward before she jolted me back hard my back hitting the water a loud splash erupting ripples around us.

I surfaced up pushing water from my face and hair as she grinned down at me. "It's all in the arms." She mused resting one elbow on Owen's head.

"Damn son. This bitch is the one." He cheered at us.

Aaron came from under the water frowning.

"Got to hand it you Maddie you played exceptionally- Ah!" He shouted toppling backwards with Madison.

They shrieked as they hit the surface.

"What happened?" Aaron asked moving to them. Owen spat water thudding his arms around him as he ran to the other side.

"There was a fucking starfish under my feet." He yelped at us.

"It's alive." Madison yelled running with him. "It has those rough skin and star body and everything." She whimpered running back.

I laughed edging back. "Queen of the sea, huh?" Aaron laughed loudly behind me his body shaking as we watched them both jump and run in the water as the sun set.

...

"194, baby." I announced pulling the darts off the board and handing them to Sersha.

She scowled at me. "I just need a 100 to beat you." She shot her darts missing a few and hitting the wall before she finally hit the board. "192! What the fuck." She cried into my arm. "I hate life."

"And life hates us." I patted her head. "Don't worry Sersha. If people like you weren't is bad at this then people like me could be so glorious." She pinched my side making me hiss and jump.

"Too bad we couldn't do jet-skit today." Rueben sighed on the couch that faced the bonfire.

"Lennon said they're bringing them in tomorrow." I lightened the mood grabbing a can of ice tea and popping it open. I sipped it as we sat in front the fire.

Aaron pulled me at his side as I stared into the heart of the flames watching it try it lick higher and higher.

"Look who it is." Owen bitterly said. I turned my head to see Liam come out the water wearing red trunks.

He walked over to us with a casual smile at me. "Good to see the friend group is still tight."

"Nobody asked your opinion." Owen seethed at him.

Aaron tensed beside me too. "What do you want?" He demanded.

Liam looked at us dully sniffing. "Nothing from you. I was actually wondering if I could talk to Bryce."

I clenched my jaw looking at him. "What could you possibly want to say?"

He looked around us and then at me. "It's better to talk in private."

I chuckled without humor. "Last time I trusted you you couldn't control yourself."

"Last time we were both drunk." He countered impatiently. "Coming?"

"She's not fucking coming with you
