"I caught myself smiling and then I realized I was thinking about you." - Unknown

I watch as the girls disappear into the hallway on the opposite side.

Azariah and I stare at each other. He puts his hands on my shoulder, shaking me.

As he speaks, I can't really hear a single fucking thing he's saying. Because he's shaking the life out of me. But I try and listen.

"Can-- you believe those- are the people were staying with?"

Never in a million years would I ever-- think two beautiful girls would be staying with us. I thought it was just some random couple.

"Yes." I sigh. "And stop shaking me, you're making me feel sick. I might puke up this cookie."

He lets me go, but snatches the cookie out of my hand.

"Hey! That was mine." I push off the chair, reaching towards Azariah. But he runs away towards the living-room.

I forgot how fast he was, who's kidding. We're both on the basketball team.

"Lo-lo come and get it." He wheezes as he jumps over the couch, falling on his ass. "Oh shit."

I jump over the couch and reach forward to grab the cookie, but Azariah stuffs it in his mouth. Crumbs falling onto his lap.

Allowing my back to fall onto the couch. "Oh-- you motherfucker." I cover my eyes with my hands.

But quickly remove them and I jump on top of Azariah, I put my arms around his neck. Putting him in a chokehold. He try's to pry my arm off but isn't successful, he starts kicking like a baby. And then-- he screams.

"HELP, I'M BEING CHOKED."

"You ate my cookie!" Rubbing his hair and messing it up.

I look up to see Katalina or should I say Lina, and Athena walk over. Lina stares in confusion, while Athena walks over and snaps a picture.

"Oh- are you kidding me?" He says glaring at Athena.

I snort and shake my head, releasing him.

He starts to rub his throat. "Ky, what if I wasn't done swallowing the cookie?" He points towards his mouth. "What if I choked from the cookie?"

I shrug my shoulders. "Azariah, you know I would've helped you."

He shakes his head, "And you-" He points at Athena. "Could've helped me."

"Sorry, it was picture worthy." She laughs.

I break the little conversation they have going. "Are you guys ready? Let's head out." I push off the couch and stand.

"Yeah we are, let's go." Katalina comments. "We can just walk down, it's not far."

I nod. And stare at Katalina, I never really took in how gorgeous she looks. The way her brown hair flows down her back, how she smiles, the light makeup she wears and how the bathing suit holds onto her body.

She laughs, "Are you alright?"

I am totally not checking you out, yeah I'm fine, totally. "Uh yeah, sorry." I scratch the back of my neck. "Azariah, Athena. Grab some towels before we leave?"

"I got it!" Azariah yells over his shoulder, grabbing some beach towels from the closet.

⋆*·ﾟ:⋆*·ﾟ:⠀ *⋆.*:·ﾟ .: ⋆*·ﾟ: .⋆⋆*·ﾟ:⋆*·ﾟ:⠀

The cool breeze pushes my hair to the side, as we walk down the twisted path covered in sand. The air hadn't turned sticky yet, so it was good. Rope fences off the pathway allowing us to continue walking down safely. Birds chatting back and forth among the trees that shade us. Azariah stands next to me, insisting that he is the only one to hold the towels. Athena is far ahead toes deep into the sand. As for Katalina, she takes out her camera, that I didn't even notice.

Breaking the silence. "You take pictures?"

She turns her head towards me, lowering the camera. "Yeah I do." She smiles, then raises the camera again, snapping a photo of me.

Athena jumps up and down, waving her hands in the air. "Come on you slow pokes! I found us a spot."

"Coming!" Katalina screams back. I shake my head and smile.

Why am I smiling?

Azariah hands two towels to Katalina, and we place them down. With our belongings.

I reach for the bottom of my sweatshirt and pull it over my head, I take it off and throw it on top of my phone. I shake my hair out of my face, seeing Katalina quickly looking away. I brush it off. And take off my shoes.

Azariah is inches from the water, "I'm going in the water, you guys coming?"

"Yeah you guys go in first, I wanna get a picture of us." Katalina says. "You know- since it's our first night together."

I nod, "Of course, come on guys let's go."

I look at Athena who's already running into the water, she dives into the water. And I follow after.

I swim back up to the surface, I shake the water off of my hair. Rubbing the water off my face, I see Katalina talk to a couple. Her hands motioning towards the camera she holds. The couple smiles, they take ahold of the camera. Katalina runs into the water, after a few minutes she comes back to the surface.

"Okay guys, I don't want to take up all of their time. So here's the plan."

We all huddle around her as she explains the pose idea she had in mind. She wants me and Azariah to hold them on our shoulders. Simple enough, me and Azariah nod.

We go underwater, allowing the girls to climb onto our shoulders. I stand up with Katalina on my shoulders, I place my hands on her thighs to keep her still. Athena and Azariah are on our right, and of course Azariah faces the wrong way. But Athena still turns towards the camera.

Katalina shouts 'ready' to the couple. And they snap a couple pictures.

"Beach Haven's Four! Welcome guys!" She shouts.

"Hell yeah!" Athena adds.

"We got it!"

"Okay let me get the camera!" She yells back. "Thank you so much-- Kylo can you let me down?"

"Yeah of course."

I slowly lower ourselves, and she slides off.

She runs towards the couple, exchanging a few words and thanking them. I turn to my side to see Azariah dunk him and Athena underwater, earning a scream from her.

"Azariah! My hair!"

"You're at the beach," He pops the 'h' . "Your bound to get wet."

I smile at the two, splashing Azariah with water.

"You're gonna regret that." Azariah says before charging at me, taking me underwater with him.

I cough up some salty ass water and put my hands in front of me, "Okay, okay. I'm sorry."

After a few more minutes Katalina calls all of us, so we all get out of the water.

"What do you guys think of the photo? I think the couple actually took a good picture." Turning the camera around showing us three.

"Ouuu it looks good." Azariah comments, munching on some more cookies.

Athena hovers over Katalina's shoulder, "Post it."

"Yeah go ahead."

Something about Katalina interest me, and I don't have a single clue on why.

Is it the way she talks? Her vibe? I don't know.

And I want to get to know her, and there's plenty of time for that. Living at the Beach Haven for two months will give me the time.

Her voice brings me out of my thoughts, "I'm gonna head back into the water, you're welcome to join me."

Is that an invite? Hell yeah it is.

Nodding my head towards the water, "I'll come, come on."

Reaching the water, I dive underneath and then rise back up. Looking to my right, Katalina floats on her back, skin kissed by the pink setting sun, highlighting her features.

She opens her eyes and smiles, at me. She stands up, grabbing her hair and twisting it to drain the remaining water.

She looks at me, "So what made you guys choose the Beach Haven?"

I run a hand through my hair, "The dual stay, it's what caught our attention. We wanted something different, ya know?"

"Yeah totally, Athena and I thought it was interesting and ever since our first night here. We kept coming back."

I nod at her answer, "Wanna swim for a bit longer and head back up?" I say. "I don't trust Azariah- he can be a bit crazy."

I'm so awkward.

She giggles, "Of course."

That fucking sound that came out of her throat, ha.

Nope, a girls laugh should not make me like this, I tug at bottom of my swim-shorts. And give her a faint smile.

This is new, living with people you've never met. Going to the beach, having the time of our lives. It's different, and it's nice. 

It takes my mind off of thinks, allowing me to be free. To push away unwanted thoughts.

I hope that the memories we make this summer, stay long term memories and never turn into distant ones.

We all sit on our towels, the girls take some pictures. Azariah is out cold, tired from the water. And I sit here not being able to push away those unwanted thoughts. I always wondered why I became the way I am today.

Is it because of the people I hung out with during my freshmen year? The people who introduced me to parties, sex, girls and alcohol? 

People back home view me as 'the guy who fucks every girl that comes into sight,' I drop my face into my hands. It wasn't always this way-- maybe it's because I never got attention from the people around me? 

The only reason this affects me so much, is because every time I walk through the halls of my high school. It's the only thing I can hear. Never anything good besides, 'I heard he's a good fuck,' and 'he's got the looks and the skills.'

Ha- damn.

A rough hand pats my back, bringing me back up front.

"Ky, I know what you're thinking. Don't you dare let that shit get to you."
