Summer of love and friendship.

Sparks flew whenever they touched, butterflies fluttered in both their stomachs and both of them ignored their feelings for the sake of their friendship. Everyone around them knew how they felt for each other, oblivious to the others' jealousy when it came to harmless flirting. Looking in front of him Ethan couldn't help but roll his eyes at his best friend Rhydian. Rhydian Walker, 18 years old and had met Ethan while running from the local narcissist Royce who he gladly punched in the face. The two clicked as soon as they met, obviously sharing their dislike for Royce and his minions.

Ashlyn, on the other hand, was another story she was blessed or as she likes to say 'cursed' to be none other than the local narcissist Royce's sister. She had met the two when she had surfed during a storm and this had caused her to catch Rhydians eye. Of course, until now the black-haired boy hasn't told the redhead how he felt for her.

Snapping back into reality he watched his best friend and the girl his best friend was in love with argue playfully as someone came running towards them. Dean Williams was undoubtedly the best surfer in town and he was the one that completed their friend group.

Dean and Ashlyn had their history, best friends since birth, and each other's partner in crime. They had a couple of fall outs, arguments, and fights but at the end of the day, they still stuck together no matter what. It was amusing for Ethan to watch the two interact because it would lead to a jealous and annoyed Royce who would throw glares at the pair. Ethan watched the view as the sun and the sea met and created a beautiful sunset, and there and then he made a promise; a promise to make this the best summer ever and get his two friends together.
