"Lelya, what am I going to do? I need a job for the summer that isn't a restaurant. It'd be nice to have a job that works outside. I love the outdoors."
"Mabel, I think the answer is pretty obvious. Get a job at the beach! Be a lifeguard, I heard it pays really well and you're an excellent swimmer."
"Okay I'll call them up now. See you later."
"Bye."
I hang up the phone and lay back on the couch. I take a few minutes before I call the beach people or whatever.

The next day...
Well I got the job. I had to take a swimming test to make it though. My first shift is today. When I arrive at the beach its beautiful.
The clear water is so clean and the sand is smoothed perfectly. It felt great on my feet. I walk around a bit. There's two lifeguard stands. One of them has two seats next to each other for the deep end and the other is just one for the shallow end.
After examining the beach I walk over to the man I think is the boss. He tells me all the rules I needed to know and hands me my uniform.
I go to the bathroom to change. When I get it on I check myself out. Holy cow this is so comfortable! And I look so good.
The boss man tells me to go to the lifeguard stand at the shallow end. The job was so boring. I sat there for god knows how long watching little kids splash around having a good time.
After an hour we switch. While going to the other stand I meet a semi-hot guy. I learn that his name is Justin. He's a really cool guy. Overall the job paid well and the other workers are awesome. The job itself is pretty boring.

The next day...
I wake up to silence. That's odd, my alarm clock should be going off. I never turned it on. I'm late! I rush out of bed and get ready as quick as I can. I run out the door and make it to the beach a few minutes late.
When I walk on to the beach I see Justin wave to me from the deep end. He's sitting next to some other hot guy. Man I love the beach.
I get on to the throne of the shallow end and watch little kids splash and scream. After an hour we switch. I go to the deep end and I sit with the mysterious hottie from earlier.
"Mabel, right?" he asks politely. Justin must have told him about me. Cool.
"Yeah, and you are?" I ask in response.
"Miles." He replies.
It was a bit awkward for a bit then Miles went through Hus pocket. He pulled out a ten dollar bill. Its now break so he blows the whistle.
"You hungry?" He turns to me and asks. Now that I think about it I do want food.
"Sure," I say casually trying to act cool. We both hopped down from the chairs and went to the snack shack. Justin went up to order when he saw someone.
They greeted each other and I stood there awkwardly. He then began to order once more.
"Can I get a bag of chips, a small cola, and a slice of pizza please?" I wanted the pizza. Don't judge me.
