"Finally! Let's go to the beach!" Lucy shouts, as we all laugh and walk to the elevators.

Once out of the hotel, all we have to do is walk a block and we are at the beach. We walk in pairs because of the size of the sidewalk. Xavier and Blake lead the way as Christine and I stay towards the back.

"Girl! The entire ride here Blake and I talked as though we have been friends since we were children. It's just so easy with him." Christine smiles, most likely thinking back to the car ride.

"Also.. Blake asked me out! Like on a real date!" She whisper screams.

I smile, happy for her. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I say, fake being angry.

"I didn't want to say anything in front of everyone yet. There would've been to many questions." She explains.

"How did he ask?"

"Well we were talking about our favorite places in Lakefield and around it. Then he said, "We should go to one this week. Just you and I." So I said "What like a date?" and he smiled at me and winked!" She says smiling like crazy again grabbing my hand.

"Oh my god. I have to help you get ready for it. When are you guys going?" I ask her.

"We're ditching the game friday to go."

"Okay! What time are you guys going?"

"He's picking me up at 6:30, so just come over after school so I can start getting ready right away." I'm so happy that Christine and Blake are finally going out. I mean everyone can tell that they like each other.

"What happened with you and Xavier on the way here?" She asks, wiggling her eyebrows.

I shove her lightly, "we just talked a lot about our families."

"What did you find out about their family." She whispers to me.

"I'll tell you later. I don't them want to hear us talking about it." I whisper back to her.

"So are you and Xavier still hanging out tomorrow?" She asks.

"Yeah, we are going to go later than we planned." I explain.

"What if you see that guy again?" Christine gives me a worried look.

"I probably won't, it's not like he's stalking me or something. He was just a creep being a creep." I try to play it off like the guy who was watching Chloe and I last wednesday means nothing.

"If you do, you have to tell your dad and Amanda then." She says sternly, and I know that I will have to too.

"I will trust me. Just even thinking about that guy and when we made eye contact, ugh, gives me goosebumps because of how scared I felt in that moment." I hope to never see that guy again, and if I do then I'll drive the extra 20 minutes to go to a different mall and never back to that one.

We arrive at the beach, and stop at a spot close to the water and lay out our towels. We all take off our clothes leaving us just in our bathing suits.

"Aidan and I are going to go for a walk." Chloe informs us, walking away hand in hand with Aidan.

"I can't believe how much they like each other. Usually boys in her grade would just mess with her then leave." Christine says.

"I know, last night Chloe said that she thinks they might be soul mates. Like soul mates? Those don't even exist." I say, Christine agreeing with me.

"You never know guys." Lucy shakes her head at us. As if she's positive they're real.

"Whatever. Let's go into the water!" Christine says, grabbing my hand and then I grab Lucy's.

"You coming boys?" I turn and say to the guys, as they jog after us three.

One we hit the water, we all jump back because of how cold it is, in contrast to the 90 degree weather. Since I jumped back, I hit Xavier and his first instinct is to wrap his arms around my waist.

"Are you okay?" He looks down to me with worry evident in his eyes.

"Yeah, just a little shocked you know?" I say, slightly relaxing into his arms, due to how warm he naturally is. He would be the best cuddle partner in the winter.

I wiggle out of his arms, and follow Christine and Lucy further into the water. We stop once the water comes up just below mine, Christines, and Lucy's chests. Since the boys are so tall, this to them is only a little bit more than half way up their abs.

We swim and splash around in the water for a while, before Lucy and Grayson get out. Soon after, Christine and Blake decide to leave as well to "get their tanning on," leaving just Xavier and I.

"We should go on a walk while the sun is setting." Xavier suggests.

"We should, I've always loved watching the sunset over the ocean."

"When does swim season start for you guys?" He asks.

"Early december. Which is the worst because then it's cold and we have to be at practice by 5:30 in the morning." I tell him.

"Oh, that really does suck. Blake and I are thinking about trying out for the basketball team and I might join swim too."

"You should do swim! And if you guys get on the basketball team too, you can count on me being at every game." I smile up to him.

"Promise?" "Promise." I say holding out my pinkie, which he locks with his in a pinky promise while laughing.

"Want to get out now?" I ask, feeling myself start to lightly sunburn.

"Yeah." Xavier grabs my hand, and we continue to walk hand in hand until we reach the the group.

"I'm starvinggggg." Lucy complains.

"Yeah me too." Chloe says, as she lays between Aidans legs, his arms around her.

"Let's dry off, redress, then find a cafe or restaurant to eat at." Blake suggests.

I grab my phone and see that it's already 1 pm. Damn where did the time go. I text my dad to ensure him we are all still okay, then I go through Instagram and Snapchat.

"We'll have to get bombass pictures tonight." I tell the group.

"Oh hell yeah! I brought a cute ass outfit just for that reason." Lucy says, making everyone laugh.

We lay out in the sun for a little more, then put our clothes back on and I throw my hair up into a bun. I know I might not look the cutest right now but who cares, I'm living life!

"Damn look at Amelia lookin like a cutie with her hair up in a messy bun." Christine teases, causing me to roll my eyes at her.

As we walk off the beach and to a cafe nearby Grayson found online, Xavier whispers into my ear, "You do look very cute right now."

I start to blush like crazy and smile, "Thanks." I say back to him. This boy really does know how to make a girl go crazy.

----
After eating lunch, we all decided to go back to our hotel rooms and chill out for a while so everyone can get ready. It was 3:00 now and we just got back to our rooms. Christine decided to take a nap and Chloe was the first to run to the bathroom to take a shower.

I layed on the bed next to Lucy as Christine slept on the other one. Lucy and I just layed in silence watching a random movie that was on TV.

About 30 minutes later Chloe came out of the bathroom dressed in a pair of black jean shorts with little rips and a pink blouse that hugged the sides of her shoulders.

"I'm taking a nap too." She informs us.

"I'm going to take a shower now." I tell Lucy, getting off the bed and going to my book bag on the floor next to the TV stand.

I grab dark blue jean shorts and my light purple sweater that I wore on the ride here. I walk into the bathroom with my toiletry bag too and turn on the shower after shutting the door.

I washed my hair and my body then shave wear needs to be shaved and get out. I blow dry my hair and put on my clothes then walk out of the bathroom. When I get out, I see that Lucy has joined Chloe and Christine in taking a nap too.

I realize how dry my throat is and decide to try to find a vending machine to buy a water at. It doesn't seem like I have much else to do now that I'm ready and everyone else is a sleep.

I grab my wallet, phone, and the extra room key and walk across the hall and knock on the boys room. I would rather not get lost in this huge hotel alone.

Blake answers the door, "Hey. Whats up?"

"Oh I was wondering if anyone wanted to come find a vending machine with me. The other girls all fell asleep and I have nothing else to do."

"Grayson and Aidan also fell asleep and Xavier just got out of the shower. I'm taking one next but you can wait in here and ask him if he wants to go with you." Blake opens the door more and I walk past him and take a seat on the chair that comes with the desk.

He then sits on the bed opposite the one that Grayson and Aidan are asleep on and continues to watch the show he has on the TV.

"So, Christine told me you guys are going on a date." I say breaking the silence.

"Oh yeah, I asked her on the way here. But I still have no idea where to go." He tells me.

"Go to Geoffrey's, it's her favorite restaurant."

"Thanks, should I get her flowers too? Or is that too much?" He asks, and I can tell he's as nervous and she is for this date.

"Get her flowers. Christine loves cheesy, over the top things." I tell him.

"I just want to make sure this is the best date she will ever be on."

"With how much she likes you, it will be." I assure him.

The bathroom door then opens and Xavier walks out in just blue jeans shorts on that come to his knee, with small rips on them. No matter how many times I see this boy shirtless, it will always shock me how hot he is.

"Hey Amelia. Is everything okay?" He asks, as he walks over to sit on the edge of the bed Blake is on.

"Oh yeah, all the girls fell asleep and I was wondering if any of you guys wanted to come with me to find a vending machine." I explain.

"I'll come with you, let me just get a shirt then we can go." He then walks over to where they've set their bags and grabs a black t-shirt.

"Bye guys." Blake says, then walks into the bathroom shutting the door behind him.

Xavier puts his shirt on then his vans and walks to the door with me right behind him. He opens the door for me then shuts it behind us, putting the room key in his back pocket.

"Do you know where a vending machine would be?" Xavier asks, as we walk down the hallway.

"I'm thinking one should be at either end of this hallway or in the lobby." I tell him.

We continue to walk to the end of the hallway, and to my guess, two vending machines are there.

"Do you want anything?" I ask him, putting a dollar into one and pressing the button for water.

"You don't have to buy me anything."

"Are you sure, we were at the beach all day. You could be dehydrated." I say, buying another water before he could protest.

"You really didn't need to." He says, as I hand him his water.

"Well it was my pleasure." I joke.

"Well then it will be my pleasure to buy you dinner tomorrow after we shop." He smiles down to me.

"Mmhm. Okay, I'll never pass up on free food." We start to walk back to our rooms.

"We'll have to reschedule that walk." Xavier suddenly reminds me of our planned sunset walk.

"Maybe we can go to Malibu beach soon then." I tell him, kind of bumped we couldn't take a nice walk during the sunset.

"I'll hold you to that then." He says.

We reach our rooms, "See ya in about an hour." I say laughing and opening the door.

He chuckles back and then walks into his room too. When I open the door I see Chloe awake on her phone and Lucy sitting at the desk.

"Where did you go?" Lucy asks, brushing her hair.

"Oh, Xavier and I went to the vending machines for a drink." I tell them, sitting on the edge of one of the beds.

"Alone?" Chloe asks, winking to me.

"Oh stop, we just got water." I say. "Where's Christine?"

"She just got out of the shower. Once she's ready we can go over to their room." Lucy tells me.

About 40 minutes later, when we were all ready, we go over to the boys room. Grayson opens the door and we all walk in, taking seats at different places in the room.

Christine sits next to Blake on the bed closest to the bathroom, while Xavier and I sit on the edge of it. Lucy and Grayson sit together on the bed next to us and Chloe sits on Aidans lap as he sits on the chair in the corner next to the TV.

"Do we want to get dinner or just eat whatever we find at the Pier later." Grayson asks us.

"I don't think we should get dinner yet, it's only 5:30, and we ate about three hours ago." Christine says.

"Yeah, let's go to the Pier and hang out for a bit then eat from a place up there later in the night." I suggest.

Everyone agrees with me, and we then all stand up to leave. After getting out of the hotel, Xavier and I lead the way to the Pier. We decide to walk again because it is also just a block from our hotel.
