Change is Inevitable

The first thing we were doing was going to the beach, being that it was the closest thing to us and it was already so late in the afternoon. I knew we'd probably go out to eat after. My sister and I made our way to the edge of the shore, cutting off at the water.
"Come on!" my sister yelled, wading in the the water, a tide catching her as she did.
"I'm coming!" I yelled back. Damn she was fast.
I was glad to be in the water, hidden, rather than being exposed to all the onlookers. I have always been self-conscious of my body. Right now I'm wearing a black one piece with shorts, my go-to swim wear. My sister has always been confident, never had a problem. She's a human string bean.
I was cut off by my thoughts as I saw a girl starting to swim in the water with someone else- a boy. She looked familiar. The boy I didn't recognize. The girl had shoulder-length dark brown hair and fair skin. The girl and the boy were having fun-too much fun. So much fun that I had to look away to save my sanity. I never understood the point of bringing a boyfriend on vacation, especially when you're going to break up anyway and get with a new person 2 weeks later? Why waste the money for a lost cause? Maybe it's just me. I've never had a boyfriend and I've always thought there was spending wrong with me because of it.
"Hey Julia! I'm going to get out now! You should to, we're leaving!" I yelled.
"A few more minutes?" She screamed back, annoyed.
"No! We're going to St.Celcila's for dinner."
At the relation to food, she got out as soon as I did.
Right after I'd left the water, I looked back at the happy, young couple. And then it hit me- that girl. She was my pen pal the last time in came here. Cameron.
