Olivia looked at the two swimsuit options she had sitting on her bed. One of the options was a black string bikini and the other one was a red 50's style two-piece.
"Daph!" She shouts out her door. "Could you come help me pick out what swimsuit I should wear today? I can't pick between these two." As she finishes the question, Daphne peaks out her door and walks toward the younger sister's room.
"Okay, let's see what we've got here." She rubs her hands together as she steps in front of the bed and looks at the two swimsuits. "Who are you going with?" She analyses the pieces.
"Just Reg and I. Luke and Alex are going to see some stupid movie that we didn't want to see, and Reg was having a hard time with his parents today so we decided to have a beach day since it's so nice out." Olivia plops down on the bed beside the swimsuits.
"Okay, in that case, definitely this one." Daphne points at the 50's style option. "If Luke was going to be there I'd say the black one, but I think it's a little too scandalous for going with just Reggie." She throws the other swimsuit into Olivia's closet and then leaves the room.
"She's got a point there." Olivia pulls her shirt off and puts the top piece of the swimsuit on.
Once Olivia was done getting dressed, put a small amount of makeup on, and tied her hair into an intricate braid, the doorbell rang from across the house.
"Hey, Reggie. I'm pretty sure she's just finishing getting ready in her room. She'll be down any minute now." Crystal greets the boy as she opens the door.
"No problem, I got here earlier than what I told her so I'm a-okay with waiting." Reggie states and looks around the entryway of the large house.
"I'm ready! I'm right here. I was just finishing putting my hair up." Olivia comes rushing down the stairs with a bag full of stuff hanging on her shoulder. "I think I've got everything we could possibly need in here. I've got a towel, sunblock, sunglasses, extra hair ties, makeup wipes, and I've got a few snacks and drinks in here as well." She takes a deep breath as she stops next to her sister and Reggie.
"You sound like you are fully prepared. I just grabbed my boombox, sunglasses, and a towel. I will definitely need to steal some of that sunblock though. I am a ghost, and I will burn." Reggie laughs as the two friends turn toward the door.
"Have a good day at the beach, you two. Stay safe and don't get murdered." The two teenagers give her a weird look. "You never know what'll happen out there. Okay, get out of here and have fun." She opens the door and pushes them outside.
As the two got out of the car, Olivia immediately threw on her vintage-style sunglasses and looked out onto the beach. She held her bag tightly to her side as she looked out at the mass amount of people on the beach. She expected it to be busy due to the amazing weather, but this was way more people than she thought would be there.
