I didn't go to bed too late, so I really couldn't figure out why I woke up at this time. I was always a heavy sleeper and could sleep forever it seemed. "Get a good night sleep?" My dad asked. "Yes." I mumbled the answer since I was still a little drowsy. "I'm surprised you could sleep that long." He said. There was no hint of mockery in his voice for once. "Yeah, I can literally sleep forever." I poured myself a cup of coffee. Sugar and creamer were a must for this. Drinking it black tasted terrible. "That friend you brought with us yesterday was so sweet. I wish she would've ordered some more food." "Mom, she ordered a gigantic bowl of pasta. I think that's enough." I said defensively. "Okay. I was just saying my opinion. No need to get upset. I didn't realize how irritated I had sounded. My goal wasn't to be rude.

"She invited me to hang out today. Do you mind if I go?" "Yeah, sure. What time are you going? Do you need a ride?" "No, we're just going tp the beach. She's going to meet me there around one. I just need to pack a towel and some sunscreen." My brother looked at me like he was trying to figure out a puzzle. "I've never seen you make a friend this quick. Interesting. He stroked his imaginary goatee. "Yeah, okay. Don't be rude." I knew he couldn't go a morning without a comment. There was no point on wearing makeup since the water would just wash it away. I combed my hair and changed into my swimsuit. All while I packed a towel with a cute puppy dog on it. Sprayed some sunscreen on and was ready to go. I would probably be slightly late. Hoping that I would be on time at this point was pointless. I said goodbye to everyone and walked out the door. My flip flops sounding behind me. 

I arrived at the beach in my frilly swimsuit. It was a bikini with white polka dots on a navy blue background. I thought it was cute. Maybe not the best one to attract someone. It was better to be myself anyways. Pretending to be someone else wasn't a good idea. It would just lead to heartbreak later down the road. Thinking of jumping into a relationship again so soon didn't sound like the best idea ever. Also, I'm still trying to figure out what attracted me to her. "Hey." Jessica waved me over. "Hey."  I say as nonchalantly as possible. She was wearing swimming trunks and a black tank top. The shorts had green leaves on them and was the same background color of her shirt. Flicks of blonde hair blew in the wind. It reminded me of one my fantasy novel's main character. When the author described her hair as being spun gold. I must've been staring to long because she looked back at me amused.
