I layed down a beach towel on the grass and turned on the radio for some tunes. I would go to the beach but I didn't have a ride. I just wanted to breathe in the beach air, feel the water between my toes and listen to the waves crashing into rocks and each other. I try to just use my yard and enjoy everything I have.

"Next up, 'I Got You' by James Brown!" The radio said. I closed my eyes as the song played. I was laying on my back, absorbing the vitamin D from the sun. While that happens, I heard the engine of a truck and the sound of boys just screaming and shouting. I opened my eyes, feeling annoyed. It was fromt he Curtis' House. The Curtis' and I were close. I go to the DX often and I'm friends with Ponyboy Curtis.

Ponyboy noticed me and waved. I waved back as he runs up to me.

"Hey Y/n. Whatcha doin?" He asked. "Just catching the sun since I can't go to the beach." I said, putting my sunglasses to my head. "Why can't you go? You've got everything you need to go to a beach." He said. "I got no ride." "Well you're in great luck. Me and the guys are going to the beach right now. I don't think they'll mind if you camew with us." He said.

"Really? Are you sure? You could possibly leave me at the beach." I said. He laughs, "We wouldn't do that. I think we'd know if we lost a girl." He said. I look at his friends then back at him. "Alright." I said. I stood up and took my beach towel with me. "Wait I'm gonna go get a change of clothes and another towel. And I have to ask my mom." I said. "Take your time, I'll tell my brother." He said. I nodded and ran in my house.

"Y/n! Right on time! C'mon, let me take those bags." Said Sodapop as he takes my bag and puts it in the trunk. "Okay, Y/n you're going with me in Darrys truck. Steve's with us too." "Alright. Thanks by the way." I said. "Our pleasure. C'mon, let's get goin'" he said.

"Ahh, the beautiful beach air. Pretty relaxing huh?" Said Sodapop. I looked around. I was at the beach. It looked so peaceful. "Hello?" Said Soda. "Oh yeah, sorry. I was just so mesmerized." I said. "The last time I went here was when I was 4." "Well, you could be going here more often now that you've got a ride." He said. I hugged him. "Thank you so much. You restored my favorite memory." "Don't sweat it. Now c'mon!" He said, grabbing my hand and dragging me to the water.

"Wait, I gotta put on sunscreen first--" he splashes me with water. "Oh it's on." I took my shorts and t-shirt off and put them aside as he took of his shirt too. We started splashing each other and everyone else joined.

At the end of the day, we watched the sunset. Layed down on the sand, listening to the ocean waves, and seeing the reflection of the sun on the water.

I was sitting between Dallas and Ponyboy. Layed my head on Dallas' shoulder, slightly getting sleepy and tired. Before I did shut my eyes, I moved to Pony's shoulder. He looked at me. "Thanks for the ride again. Today was fun." I managed to say. "Our pleasure. You should just join all of our trips next time." He said.

"Maybe I will." I mumbled.
