Behind The Hoodie

(Part 2) Chapter 7: Beach Day!

I soon wake up to someone shaking me.

"Princess? Come on. We're here. Wake up," I hear Grays voice in my ear.

I slowly get up.

"There she is!" Mason says.

I look over at them and soon realize I fell asleep on Gray's shoulder. Oh no. They are gonna taunt me about that for the rest of my life.

"Come on. Wake up!" Willow screams as we park.

Warm air blows in through the windows and sun attacks my eyes as they all slide out of the car. I grab my bag and follow them out.

"There are bathrooms over there you can go change into. I already packed you some clothes in the bag, go change," Willow says nodding her head to the bathrooms as she fixes her wig that looks really realistic.

I quickly go into the bathrooms, yawning as the rest of the guys begin to pull up into the sandy parking lot.

I lock the door and the green light above the sink flickers as I gag at the smell as chills run down my back. Is this how I die?

I change into a one-piece swimsuit that shows my stomach and sides and covers the scars that Willow knows I have. I slide on a white summer dress over it that reaches my knees and is pretty simple, standard dress. I undo my hair and it falls in curls down my back, actually looking pretty nice. I touch as little of everything as possible as I change into flipflops and put a pair of sunglasses over my eyes.

I walk out with my bag and they all look to me.

"Took you long enough," Willow says looking at me.

I sigh at her as we start walking to the beach itself. Palm trees surround it as we walk down the sandstone paths till we reach the beach itself. It's actually pretty empty. Few people playing volleyball, other's flying kites, a few surfing but not a ton.

(Authors Note: I know what your thinking. No. No, I am not about to make a huge scene and cause a shark attack. And no tsunami. This time. >:))

We all walk over to an area of the beach next to a rock wall that separates the beach. Willow is already putting on tanning lotion and laying out her towel. Luckily, I naturally tan. It's just a gift I was blessed with. Leo is already off flirting with a few girls.

"Beth! Get over here!" Willow says smiling at me.

I come over and the guys head off to do their own thing. I lay out my own towel and unlike her, I lay on my back with my arms resting on my stomach.

"How can you tan so well? I look like a vampire."

'How can you draw on such realistic eyebrows? Mine always end up looking like the Nike symbol.' I type on my phone and show her.

She chuckles as I put on sunscreen rather than tanning lotion and shakes her head.

I soon finish and lay back down, setting my bag a bit further away from us and I notice Willow brought her video camera and she sets it up to film the beach and ocean. She was always big on acting even as a kid. But she always insisted it would stay a dream. After a while of laying down, I just get bored and decide to go play volleyball or something.

But right as I am about to stand up and open my eyes salt water floods the both of us. Willow shrieks and we both jolt up as the guys laugh. I fling off my sunglasses.

Willow quickly gets up to go after them and so do I. Revenge is sweet when you get to serve it.

They run into the ocean and we race after them and Willow tries to assassinate Alan as we are just above knee deep. I try to do the same to Gray but in turn, he just picks me up and tosses me into the oncoming wave. Alan does the same to Willow
