Julie's P.O.V

"Liz are you done in here? I need to grab my sunglasses." I said, knocking on the white door. I heard footsteps from inside the room before the door swung open and Liz smiled at me. She had changed out of her tank top and shorts and into a blue bikini, although she was wearing a pair of jean shorts over the bottoms of her bathing suit.

"Sorry, but yeah I'm done. Is Caitlin done?" Liz asked, walking over to her bed. A bottle of sun tan lotion was sitting on her bed along with a pair of black sunglasses.

"She's changing now." I told her as I walked over to my purse, searching it until I found my purple sunglasses. I had already changed into my own bathing suit, a dark purple bikini.

"Hey so, uh, this is weird but, do I look okay? If this is going to go online I don't want to look... fat or anything." Liz said. I stood up straight and turned to look at her.

I shook my head, "No, you don't look fat. You're curvy, and not the type of curvy that people say instead of fat. You look great, want to trade bodies?" I joked. Liz laughed, her cheeks reddening in a blush. I smiled, glad that I seemed to boast her confidence a little bit.

After a few minutes that consisted of putting on sun tan lotion, we meet Caitlin downstairs. She was talking with the cameramen. I went off to join her while Liz told me that she was going to tell Toby that we were heading down to the beach. I stood next to Caitlin, hearing of their conversation about what exactly was going on the website. From what I heard, some things would be shown on TV though most of it would be available to those who want it online.

Liz joined us after a minute and we all started to make our way down to the beach. As we did, the man I learned whose name was Rick, told of us what we needed to do for this. We just needed to act normal and whatnot. It would be put in a video online I guess. It was weird to think about. I really can't believe that I'm going to be on TV. People all across America, and maybe even other parts of the world, will be seeing me on TV. I'm just a small girl from Loveland and now I'm going to be on TV. It was crazy to think about.

"You know," Liz said as we were walking down the hill that led to the water. "One time when I was about eleven, I was running to come out here. I wanted to see the dolphins. I was running too fast and I tripped over something, it was probably a rock or a shell or something. Anyway, that's not the point. I tripped and fell down the hill and I broke my arm. It hurt like something else." Liz said.

I laughed, picturing a little Liz tumbling down the hill. It was hilarious to think about, if you ask me. Caitlin found it funny too, being that she started choking on her own laughter. Liz laughed and shoved her shoulder, quietly telling her to shut up. Poor Liz was embarrassed. Oh well, it's not my fault. She shouldn't have told us the story.

"Smooth. I bet you didn't run down the hill after that." I said.

"Oh I did," Liz said, looking up at me. She was so short. "The summer after that I ran down the hill, tripped again, and sprained my ankle. That was when I stopped running down the hill." She said. I started laughing again, as did Caitlin. I could tell that the cameramen were enjoying this, being that they were recording us. Oh God, I hope I don't have a double chin when I laugh. That would be terrible.

"Oh look, dolphins." Liz yelled. I immediately looked to where she was pointing and I smiled widely when I saw a pod of dolphins a few miles out. They were jumping around and it was so cute to see.
