In the evening Flo had already put all her stuff that they had in their car in her new room. On the floor there lied a small sleeping bag with her pillows on it. Her bedside lamp found, togheter with her alarm clock and her make up, place beside the sleeping bag. Anthony had left for some party he got invited to, so there was luckily no chance that he could annoy her. Flo thought about Angelicas invatation to the beach. She looked to the clock. 7:21 PM, which meant, she still had at least half an hour time to either except the invatation or to decline it.
After some time she had made her decision. She texted Angelica, then changed her clothes to a summer dress. She started putting up some makeup. Not much. She went for the your name natural look. Though it was kind of tricky, because the only mirrors she had in her room were her phone camera and a little eleven inch mirror. When she was done, she grabbed a purse and went downstairs. ,,Hey sweetie where are you going?", her mom asked. She was currently sitting in the kitchen drinking a glass of wine. Wow she didnt buy food but a bottle of wine.
,,A friend invited me to the beach. A few people will be there, it'll be a little chill evening.", Flo answered. At least she thought it'd be a chill evening. ,,Is there alcohol?", the mom asked. ,,Uh.. No?!", Flo answered, even though she didnt even know if the people there would have alcohol with them. ,,Do you have condoms?", her mom asked. God, why so many questions? ,,MOM! I wont need condoms!", Flo shouted. Her mom giggled, ,,I thought that too when I was in my prime. And look where we are now!"
,,Bye! Ill be back at like... like midnight or something!", Flo exclaimed and left the house. Sometimes it was a curse to have such a chilled mother-
Flo walked to the street and waited for Angelica. She didnt have to wait for too long, because soon a car stopped right in front of her. The window from the driver went down and Angelica smiled into Flos direction. ,,Get in!", she said and the door to the backseat opened. Ilina already sat on the right seat and smiled at Flo. Jeremiah sat on the passenger seat. ,,Great you're coming with, Flo!", he said, Flo closed the door and Angelica drove to the beach. It wasnt exactly long time away, but they still had to drive 10 Minutes.
When they arrived, Angelica parked the car and they walked to the beach. They already heard loud music and people singing and having fun. ,,Will Onceler come too?", Flo asked, Angelica looked at her like she didnt know who he was, ,,Who?" Oh she really didnt know- ,,Onceler! Hes in our year! We have Art class with him. And Maths!", Ilina reminded her friend. ,,Oh right. No he wont come. Hes always busy with his guitar and he never speaks to anybody. Hes a really weird guy.", Angelica shrugs.
Oh. Does he even have any friends then? Or is he seriously always alone? Thats kinda sad. The friends arrived the beach. And wow, it was not just a little chill evening- It was a real party! Even some students from the final year were there! ,,Angelica! Ilina! You came! Jeremiah so got to see you!", a girl came up to them. It was Mariyah. ,,Oh and Flo as well! Welcome to your very first beachparty in Loneville! Drinks are up there at the parasol, drink as much as you want, nobody in this town cares.", she explained with a smile. Flo smiled, to show her that she understood.
Mariyah nodded and went back to some people from her year. ,,Lets go Flo! Ill show you our "bar"! Come on!", Jeremiah grabbed Flos hand and pulled her to the parasol. Flo had never drunk one single sip of alcohol. Like- ever! Her mom sometimes offered her some, just to taste, but she never wanted to try it. She sniffed at it. And that was even enough to say nope to alcohol.
Angelica ran after them, with a face that couldve defeated everyones excitement in one second. ,,Do not make her go too wild, Jeremiah! You know what happened with Ilina!", she held her pointer finger warningly under Jeremiahs chin. ,,Alright alright! She'll be fine! I promise!", he slowly pushed her finger aside while Flo looked at them without knowing what they were talking about.
