currents swept you out again
and you were just gone and gone, gone and gone
in silent screams
in wildest dreams

i never dreamed of this
this love is good, this love is bad
this love is alive, back from the dead
these hands had to let it go free

this love(taylor's version)-taylor swift

cousins beach bonfire

never in my whole entire life have i ever thought i'd be attending a bonfire party. but here i was sitting in what i assumed was jeremiah's car as we drove to the beach for the party. jeremiah had expressed how he thought i might be a little younger than the other kids who would be in attendance but i didn't really care. i mean at least i was getting out of the house and getting know people right? jeremiah's car was a red jeep it was fancy and i really liked it the seats were leather but the we're still super soft and i felt like i could fall asleep right here right now.

i was wearing a cropped baby tee that had a dark pink hibiscus flower on the center of the shirt. i paired the top with light blue jean shorts and my black Birkenstocks. i felt that the outfit was safe for if others dressed up but it was also safe if no one dressed up.

when we got to the beach all three boys slipped there shoes off so i did the same. we made our way to the beach as quickly as possible since the party had started at 8:30 and it was already 9:15. we got stopped by a few people here and there, most of them being friends with conrad, steven and jeremiah. a couple of the tried to hit on me but i politely declined, i wasn't looking for anyone in the moment and even if i was i'd much rather someone who did see more than just 2 months and 1 week.

the beach was already filled with drunk teens when we made it to the spot of the bonfire, the boys instantly found there friends leaving me standing in the sand. i spotted a group of girls that were at the market when i'm was driving in so i decided to say hello. i made my way over giving them a small wave. i said hi to them resulting in 1 out of the 3 girls turning around.

"hi," a black haired girl said to me smiling, "i'm shayla. who are you."
"i'm madeline but you can just call me liny." i told her.

she nodded and the other girls told me there names. nicole and gigi. gigi had dirty blonde hair that went past her shoulders and dark brown eyes. she wore a blue cropped baby tee with 3 sunflowers in the middle. she pulled those look together with a black skirt and black sunglasses-even though it wasn't sunny at all.

nicole had her brown hair in two small pony tails they puffed out because of how curly her hair was but i thought they matched her outfit really well. she had a green cropped baby tee on that had the brazilian flag in the middle and the collar, ends of the sleeves and end of the shirt were yellow-i had a shirt similar to it but it just said brazil in yellow. she was wearing black jean shorts and a black new york yankees hat.

shayla was the only one who was dressed somewhat classy. she had a square neck crop top that was blue and white with gold beads running down the middle of it, she had a black jean skirt on, with a matching black headband to pull her hair out of her face.

us four stayed pretty close that night. the three of them told me about this ball that almost all the girls in cousins went to. it was called a deb ball. you get fancy clothes, hats, heels, dresses and practice dances and at the end of the summer you preform them with your escort. your escort is a boy that you've asked to dance with you. nicole wasn't participating this year she was just being a big sister but she still got to do all the fancy clothing and hat parts of the deb ball.

"i'm honestly thinking of asking steven to be my escort," shayla said to the girls as we sat on a picnic blanket, "we've gotten pretty close since last summer and i actually like him."
"lucky. i really want to go with jeremiah but he doesn't even acknowledge me," gigi said letting a small huff out of her lungs.
"conrad was mine last year. since my stupid escort carl flaked and he decided to step in last minute," nicole informed me, "don't you live next to them?"
"yea i do, the house to the left of theirs," i told her.
"can you tell jere i'm interested in him?" gigi giggled as she asked the question.
"oh we're not to close-" i was interrupted by a commotion close by.

it was belly and steven. belly was wearing a small pink dress her hands folded over her chest as her and steven yelled back and forth. when she tried to walk away she tripped on her face. a couple of people let out gasps and i could feel the second hand embarrassment creeping through my spine. she got up and spotted conrad making out with a random deb girl. she yelled something about conrad saying he hated deb girls and then ran off. the three boys immediately tried to find her but she just walked off.

me, shayla, gigi and nicole continued talking until bright light flooded the area. police started to hop out of their vehicles and everyone scattered. i ran towards jeremiah because i had no idea what to do. he randomly stopped and i crashed directly into him. his hand stuck out and caught me before i fell.

"wow, what's with the hurry lin?" he asked his hands still holding my upper arms.
"have you forgotten that i've never been to a party let alone one that's being busted by the police?" i said to him.
"shit. i forgot that minor detail," he smiled slightly, "we better go get con, steven and belly before we leave."
i nodded and we were off.
