I could feel the sun shining on my skin, the light wind against my face I watched the ocean as it slammed delicately against the sand but I couldn't keep my eyes on the ocean as my gaze fell on the group of boys playing volleyball, particularly one boy. I watched his smooth fluffy brown hair as he ran to catch the ball wearing just his shorts, for a moment I felt his eyes meet mine but I glanced away embarrassed knowing he had seen me staring.
"betty?" I snapped out of my daydream and faced my best friend Inez
"sorry" I said embarrassed
"he's hot isn't he" she replied signaling to James I felt my cheeks redden
"you like him" she giggled. Inez had been my best friend since 3rd grade, we where now both 15 and in 10th grade and she has always been there for me, she was one of my favorite people
"ok fine but you cant tell anyone" I whispered as if he could hear me from where I was. Telling Inez secrets was a bad idea she seems to know everything about everyone some things real and some not, she doesn't tend to keep secrets secret but unlike most, I trust her
"well, in biology the other day im pretty sure I caught him staring at you he definitely likes you" she exclaimed excitedly I smiled at her as my whispy blonde hair blew in my face
"thanks but that's not likely, I mean look at him"
"yeah and look at you Betty your gorgeus you just need to be more confident about it"
I have never been the confident type and never a popular girl either unlike Inez who everyone seemed to know, I always wished I was and then maybe guys would notice me more.
"anyways I need to get home my mom wants me back by 5 because we have people round" Inez sighed.
My favorite thing about summer was the way the evenings stayed light it was like the days lasted longer but it was the end of the month of August which means we were back at school
