"Wanna come break shit with me?"

I don't go back to stay with my mom, since Poppy is back Summer and I crash at her place. Of course, Sum had a huge fight with mom so now she's pissed at both of us.

I catch a ride with Manu and Marlon so we can all drop off Summer and Poppy at their newest adventure, camping.

Elo had this great idea for a group retreat to the beach campgrounds, which leaves me all alone, again! Luckily, I have Marlon. Unluckily, he's training all week since he doesn't want to feel like an add on to the team.

When we drop Poppy and Summer off, Marlon helps them with their boards, Summer running away quickly. I get out and stretch a bit, I'm in jean shorts and a t-shirt that's cropped way too short.

I walk around a bit, pretending to just be looking since I have to come to practice tomorrow. Elo took my social media management very seriously. It's not like I'm trying to run into a certain pink haired boy.

I don't know what i'm doing, especially after yesterday and the day before. Three kisses that I dodged because i'm an idiot!

"Looking for someone?" He says in that ridiculously hot accent of his.

"Yeah- Ari, kinda promised I'd help with his socials..." Bax shakes his head, his hair is wet.

"Right." He steps closer, "Why don't you stay overnight? I've got room in my tent." The way he flirts with me... it makes me forget everything I've ever been taught.

"What are you going to do when I go back to New York? Gonna find a new girl to tease?"

"Awh no one is as fun to mess with than you." He tilts my chin up before going to walk away then pausing. I turn and pause next to him.

"No-"

"Fucking way!" I hit his chest as we stare at Poppy and Marlon making out, they think they're being blocked by a surfboard but we're on the right side.

"Did you know this was going on?" Bax looks to me when they stop kissing.

"Not the whole make out thing! I knew they liked each other."

"And you couldn't have told me? I'm a sucker for secret shit like that." I laugh and push him away, going after Poppy as Marlon gets back in the car.

"Pops!" I pull her aside for a moment, she's not that 'just been kissed' look written all over her face, "You and Marz officially since when!?"

"How did you know?" I point to where Bax is standing and he wiggles his fingers in a wave, "You can't tell-"

"Relax P!" I squeeze her shoulder, "I'm so obsessed with this, you guys are too cute!"

"Okay well keep it down!" She blushes, "And Manu can't know! He'll think I'm going to get distracted."

"I promise I won't tell." I grin and hug her quickly, "Okay have fun, i'll see you tomorrow!" She waves goodbye as I hop in the passenger's seat of Manu's van.

Baxter Radic

yesterday, 6:22, the surfboard shack.

I bring Grace to the surf shack again, wanting to show her the almost final product. She skips inside, there's no one else here.

"Wanted to get me alone I see?" She teases and I can't even deny it, "So you're finally done?" She looks over the purple board.
