"The sun hit Gwen's face waking her up. She looks over at her alarm clock that reads 3:00pm

Wow! Vans  I thought you would as well sleep your whole life away!      Natalya said as she leaned on the door frame
She had been at the house some minutes ago
Come-on let's go to the beach! She added
excitedly
Smiling, Gwen gets up and moves into her walk-in closet to get her clothes, does her hygiene and immediately dresses.
Soon they are off to the beach..

AT THE BEACH:

The duo soon arrived at the beach because it was almost next to the blvd where their school was situated. The beach was packed as it was three pm, people were all around the place.
Parents spending time with their kids, young couples nuzzling at each other's necks and the warm weather was perfect. Gwen took a deep breath taking in the magnificent scenery

Suddenly she was jolted out of her thoughts as Natalya nudged her friend's arm
Ari? are you okay? Is something wrong?  She asked with pure concern etched on her face.

Yes; maybe? I don't know Nattie! She replies confused.
I've been feeling some type of way ever since I met him. I can't stop thinking about him.

Who? Natalya asks

August, you know, my next-door neighbor       she replies lowly as if she didn't want anyone else to hear.
There is silence for a while and when Gwen looks at her friend, she's smirking

What's wrong with you? She asks raising up an eyebrow
You're in love! Natalya squeals excitedly

What?  What do you mean?

Yes bae you're in love! She repeats

Aww come-on Nattie! I can't be in love with him he's like.... 24 and I'm just 17

well I'll say if you can't stop thinking about someone, you're in  love Nattie insists.

Oh well..... Gwen sighs brushing off the possibilities that she might actually be in love with August

There is silence again as Gwen's phone lights up. It's a text from her mom

Momma Bear🐻: Gwen where are you?

Gwen: I'm at the beach with Natalya, be home soon

The message thread shows read and Gwen puts off her phone and continues staring out into open space. She kept thinking about what Nattie said.

Hey I'm starved can we go? Nattie asks
Sure Gwen replies as she puts her phone in her pocket.

They make their way away from the beach and head home ...
