On the Brightside

Chapterer 2

 I quickly put on my purple Hot Topic bikini. The guys had all gone to their dorms to get ready for the beach, and Aaron and I were changing as well. Once I put my hair up in a messy bun, I put on a pair of jean short shorts and a short tank. Aaron waltzed in, not even caring if I was naked. He had on a pair of black trunks with intricate swirls on the sides. He didn't have a shirt on and was obviously hoping I'd noticed. I did obviously, because he scooped me up before I could think. He slammed me on to the bed and was trying aggressively, yet gently, to kiss me. I kicked him in his chest, but that just made him laugh. After finally kicking where I was aiming, he let go and sprawled on the floor in pain.

"That'll teach you never to force kiss me!" I laughed and ran out the door.

Before he could catch up to me, I was down the hall and sprinting for the beach exit, when I slammed right into Sterling.

"Hey, Sterling. What's up?" I asked, sounding stupid and out of breath.

"Umm....nothing...just getting ready for the beach. Is there something wrong?" he said, his shaggy black hair falling in front of his eyes.

"Uhh..no, just Aaron..........he's chasing me because I kicked him in the balls." I said honestly.

"Why'd you kick him?"

"He was trying to forcefully kiss me."

"Oh, well................nice." he replied, "Wanna walk to the beach?"

"Ya! I'd like that. You know, you're the only guy here that doesn't look at me like a prize or something."

"That's because you don't really seem like my type." Sterling said.

I almost melted. The one guy that I liked, and I wasn't his type?! I was crushed. We were quiet after that, and it seemed like an eternity until we found a good spot on the beach.

We put up the huge beach umbrella and lay out some towels and a couple beach chairs. I flopped down into a blue chair and put on my neon green sunglasses. It was extremely sunny out and everyone was there. A blond chick ran up to me and smiled.

"Hey, I'm Anna!" she said, "You're the new girl right? Well, you should come hang out with us! We're playing volleyball. Wanna join?"

I agreed, and we ran over, where a bunch of other girls greeted me. I remembered some of their names. There was Jamie, a girl with a brown pixie cut, Taylor, a black haired, outgoing girl, Audrey, a gorgeous, long brown haired girl, and Rainy, whose name described her (blue hair and a depressing mood). We played for about an hour, and then I ran into the water. I splashed around for a little, not going out very far, and then Jake came up behind me, picked me up, and twirled me around.

"Jake, you ass! What do you want?" I screamed at him.

"Calm down! I'm just messing around! I wanted to hang with you. You seem like a chill girl. We should...you know...get to know each other." he replied, bringing me closer to him as he spoke.

Next thing I knew, we were kissing. His lips were locked on mine, and trying to part them to stick his tongue down my throat, but i kept it shut, and kind of enjoyed being kissed. The last time I got kissed, was when I was with Alexander. Neither of us had had our first kiss, so we figured we'd kiss and then stay friends, it didn't need to turn into anything. When I kissed Alexander that night, on the balcony, his lips tasted sweet and passionate, but when I kissed Jake, I didn't taste or feel anything. I pulled away from him.

"Um...can we slow down a little?" I asked.

"Why?" he said, "Are you not an adventurous girl?"

I knew he was teasing me, and trying to go all the way with me, and I knew I should have said no and gone away from him, but at that moment, I was challenged, and I was up for a challenge. So, our kissing turned into intimate, passionate making out. His tongue was going in and out of my mouth and mine doing the same in his. I once again pulled away.

"I'm ready for your challenge and everything, but could we you know talk a little?" I asked.

"Sure. Let's go grab a drink." he said, and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I snuggled into his arms. We each grabbed a beer, and then Jake grabbed a case of beers, which there were about 20 of under the beach umbrella. There was a sunset sitting on the horizon, and it was a beautiful night. We drank our beers, and talked some under some palm trees, hidden away from society. After about 3 beers, I felt dizzy and I knew I was drunk and should have gone to my dorm and slept, but Jake's mood kept me there. He wasn't drunk at all, and he had had 3 beers as well. Maybe I was just more sensitive to alcohol. He was smiling and laughing, and we were having fun. Soon enough, Jake was kissing me again. It felt good at first, but then I knew it was the alcohol getting to my head. I pulled away from him and stood up.

"I can't doth thist." I said, my words slurred and illegible, "I'm goinnn homes."

I walked away, swaying and tripping up, heading for the dorm which was a mile away. I lifted my head up to look for a street sign, but obviously I wouldn't find one. I was on the beach. I must not have gotten far, because I fell down and passed out. All I remember was somebody lifting me, and carrying me somewhere.
