The Imperfect Perfectionists

10. The Beach

After the exams, Meghan and Gabrielle had planned a week end trip to the beach. So everyone was game for it. So we left in the morning on a Saturday. It was an hour's drive to the backwaters and 2 hours to the beach. So we took Gabrielle's car. Gabrielle took the car and came to my house first.
"Hey!" Gab greeted.
"Hey! What's up?" I said.
Gabrielle was fun. She looked innocent even though I knew she wasn't. Her nose crinkled like Cynthia's. But then she didn't remind me of Cynthia. Gabrielle was different.
As usual she was wearing a baggy shirt and jeans. I hugged her. She smelt of jasmine most probably because of her hair. Gabrielle was happy. She was with people that made her happy. And therefore people who are with her become happy. She loved helping people and keeping them happy. She listened, that's why everyone loved her.
"So where to now?" I asked.
"Casey's." She said.
We reached Casey's, Meghan's and Brandon's and picked all of them up. And then we left. As usual it was a pretty good road trip. And then we reached. After that everyone else changed into their swim suits. I didn't. I picked up an armchair and say under the sun wearing a thin white shirt and three-fourths. Everyone came out of the two cabins which we had booked for the night.
"Hey, why didn't you change?" Casey asked a frown spoiling the smoothness of her forehead.
"Nah! I don't swim. Well not publicly" I said and shrugged my shoulders while smiling goofily.
"Well your loss" she said and ran to the beach. Soon, Meghan, Brandon and Gabrielle all ran to the beach.
And then a few minutes later I was looking around and I saw Sammy and the biggest thing was she was with Ashley.
