"armin, does this look good?" i walked out of our shared bathroom to get his opinion on my swimsuit. he looked up from his phone, taking in my appearance. "babeee," he groaned. "kota, know you look good in anything. you're doing this to spite me." i rolled my eyes. "negro, i genuinely wanted to know. i'm still a person ya know, i get insecure." armin got up and wrapped his arms around me, his head laying in the crook of my neck. "you're beautiful, my love."

i rolled my eyes, his cold-tipped nose dangerously close to a certain spot on my neck. "okay, lover boy get up off me." i pushed him away before he could get me anymore turned on. "how is today gonna go since you're not talking to jasmine still?" i pursed my lips, shrugging at his question. "i don't know. jasmine is just being petty at this point." jasmine still hadn't talked to me since saturday. no questions, no statements, and no looks. she was adamant on ignoring the shit outta me. which i still didn't understand because she didn't come to me to ask whether or not i was okay. our mother called me crazy for telling her i'm 18 and legal. my mother could hit me with a bus and jasmine would side with her. it made me think that jasmine agreed with my mother's statement.

was i crazy?

"dakota!" armin snapped in front of me. "stop thinking. you're head looks like it's gonna explode." i flipped him off and went to get my sunglasses. "i can't help that, arlert." i think when i'm stressed.  and i was beyond stressed even on a vacation that's suppose to last till the end of this week. "well can you stop?" armin said like it was easy. "we have a whole day that we gotta get through and i just wanna spend the day at the beach with you and some of my best friends." i sighed and nodded. "i'm sorry. let's enjoy today." i put on a smile and armin stood in front of me without touching me. his eyes boring into mine. "you got this."

i got this.

"dakota! i wanna go atving but deja or jasmine won't go with me!" kiana ran over to me and pouted. i was hanging on a beach towel while armin wanted to hang out with eren on their surfboards. deja and jasmine were somewhere taking pictures while the rest of the friend group were scattered to the winds. "atving? they gotta rental somewhere around here?" i asked, blocking my face from the sun. she pointed excitedly to the hut with atvs next to them and nodded. "right there! please please please. i need to do it before my dad gets to miami because if he sees me on that death trap then he'll kill me!" she begged and pleaded, really wanting to ride the atvs. "mhmmm, okay." she squealed and grabbed my wrist. "let's go because eren is also on my ass as well."

i didn't wanna get in trouble with eren or levi but atving did sound fun.

we ran to the hut and kiana pulled out her wallet, handing the money to the person in charge. her excitement could be seen throughout her entire body and i was starting to get excited as well. "okay you ready?" she asked as we pulled the atvs into the sand. "yeah just...hey can you take a picture of us?" i asked a random person on the beach. they smiled and nodded as kiana and i got into our poses. once it was taken, i got my phone back. "thank you! okay now i'm ready." i smirked at kiana and she smirked back.

"oh they are gonna be so pissed."

kiana and i cocked back on our handle bars, the sand flying beneath us as we drove near the beach front. kiana let out a yell of excitement while i continued to feel the breeze that the wind created. "bro," we skid across a part of the beach, stopping to catch our breaths from the adrenaline rush. "shit!" kiana cursed, revving up her atv. "what? what's wrong?" i asked, looking at what she was looking at.
