"Ethan, you're gonna burn!" Olive called out, watching the blonde run right to the water without a care. She'd already applied her own sunscreen, along with Kassie's. The wind was strong on the lake but the sun had still been brighter than ever.

"I'll be fine!" Ethan shouted, getting lost into the waves.

"Why'd we bring him?" Olive muttered, laying out the beach blanket.

"He kinda just got in my car." Kassie shrugged, pushing her sunglasses up her nose. "I hope I can get a tan." She said, laying out on the blanket.

"You're not gonna get in the water?" Olive asked, sitting beside her and opening the beach bag. She took out both their water bottles, handing Kassie hers.

"Not yet, I'm get some eye candy first." She lowered her glasses, scanning the beach for all the shirtless guys. "Oh my fucking—" she started to laugh, her eyes landing on her brother who had been stuck in the heavy waves. There was someone with him though, forcing her to squint to see who it was.

"Is that Luke?" Olive asked, eyes wide and she sat up quickly.

"It is!" Kassie exclaimed, "I bet you E's dumbass invited them." The blonde rolled her eyes, shoving her sunglasses back up her nose.

Olive had found her eyes wandering the beach, wondering if Luke had been the only Hughes at the beach. As she was about to give up looking, until a bag was dropped beside her.

"Hey, stranger." A a beach towel was laid out beside her and she glared up at the blond.

"Hey, stalker." Her face scrunched as he invited himself to sit beside her.

"Ethan invited Luke and Quinn and I were bored." He told her and she nodded unsurely, laying back against her elbows. "He may have said you'd be here too." She heard the slyness to his voice and couldn't resist another eyeroll.

"Hey, Jack." Kassie waved, letting her eyes linger on his shirtless torso. "Stayin' fit in the off season?" She was a natural flirt, so Olive didn't think much of it. Not that she had a reason to, she still wasn't entirely fond of Jack.

"Always." Jack had been looking at Olive when he answered, taking note of the disinterest on her face.

"Ignore her, she needs to smoke to be nice." Kassie said, digging into her purse and taking out a dab pen. "Here, I got a new cart yesterday." She held it out and Olive took it, clicking it on and hitting it.

"Jack! You both left me to get all the shit and-" the three turned back as they heard a grunt, watching as a guy (who Olive assumed was Quinn), tripped with two large beach bags.

"Dude! You could've left the balls and shit in the car!" Jack called back, uttering out a few curses as he got up to help his brother.

Olive didn't move, simply placed her sights back on the water, debating on if she wanted to get in. Ethan and Luke seemed to be having fun, but she wasn't sure she wanted to deal with whatever nonsense Ethan would come up with. Jack was on her nerves, simply by sitting by her. Kassie tried to help, letting her keep the pen.

Now, she had to introduce herself to another person. Another person she hadn't invited to join them.

"Where'd Luke go?" She heard the oldest of the Hughes brothers huff as he tossed the bags down.
