Valentina laid in here silky pink bed sheets staring at the wall. Her friends wanted to go to the beach but all she could do is think about the worst things that could happen. What if people made fun of her? What if her top fell off? What if she drowned? In the middle of her ranting thoughts her friend Sofia walked in. 

Sofia wore a sage green bathing suit with black shorts and white sandals. "Valentina what are you doing? We leave in 15 minutes!" she pulled Valentina's arm so she could sit up.

Valentina's hair was a wild mess. Her curls were all over the place. "Maybe its better you two go without me. I'll take forever to get ready. I'll go another time" she laid back onto her bed and rolled up into the sheets.

Sofia sighed "What am I going to do with you Valentina. It'll be okay! Camilla and I will be with you the entire time. You know what? We'll even help you get ready" she walked towards the doorway and yelled for Camilla to come into the room.

Camilla came running with her hair in a bun and a pink bathing suit. "What's going on?" she looked at Sofia and then turned to Valentina "and why the hell aren't you ready."

"No time for questions! We gotta help Valentina get ready" Sofia exclaimed. 

"Guys you don't have to do this. I mean do you want me to go that bad?" Valentina groaned standing up from the bed. The two girls looked at each other and then at Valentina "Yes!" they both said in unison.

"Alright, alright," Valentina relented, "I'll go."

Sofia and Camilla exchanged content glances before jumping into action. Sofia grabbed a hairbrush and some styling products while Camilla rummaged through Valentina's closet for a suitable swimsuit.

Valentina sighed deeply, her anxiety still clinging to her like a heavy weight. Sofia's insistence was heartwarming, but she couldn't shake off the fear gnawing at her.

As Sofia began to work on her hair, gently untangling the unruly curls, Valentina couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude wash over her. Despite her protests, her friends were determined to lift her spirits and include her in their plans.

"Thanks, Sofia and Camilla," Valentina murmured softly, her gratitude evident in her voice as she watched her friend deftly braid her hair into elegant brands while the other helped select her swimsuit.

Meanwhile, Camilla rummaged through Valentina's collection of swimsuits, her face scrunched up in concentration. "Hey, Valentina, any preference on which swimsuit you want to wear?" she asked, holding up two options for Valentina to choose from.

Valentina hesitated, her gaze shifting between the two swimsuits. "Um, maybe the blue floral one?" she replied tentatively, her uncertainty evident in her voice.

"Good choice!" Camilla exclaimed with a smile, handing her the chosen swimsuit before continuing to search for other beach essentials.

As Sofia finished braiding Valentina's hair, she stepped back to admire her handiwork. "There, all done! You look beautiful, Valentina," she said with a reassuring smile.

Valentina glanced at herself in the mirror, her reflection staring back at her with a mixture of nerves and excitement. With her friends by her side, maybe she could push past her fears and enjoy the day at the beach after all. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for the adventure ahead, knowing that no matter what happened, she had her friends' unwavering support.

"Come on, ladies, let's go catch some eye candy by the sea," Camilla exclaimed, her grin infectious as she playfully nudged Sofia and Valentina towards the door, their laughter blending with the anticipation of a sunny day ahead.
