"Woah, dude, you weren't kidding! You're actually living with a girl," I hear an unfamiliar voice from the other side of the bathroom door.

I open the door and walk into the kitchen to see a brunette boy standing next to Kai.

"Oh you must be Leighton!" The boy exclaims. 

"Yeah," I smile. "Who are you?"

"I'm Eli, Kai's best friend,"

"Shithead," Kai mutters. Eli walks up to me a gives me a big hug. 

"Ooh," I say when he squeezes me.

"I love your hair, you're so pretty!" Eli says and Kai's jaw clenches for a second.

"Thank you," I smile.

"Oh my goodness! You have dimples?!" 

"Yeah," I blush.

"They're so cute!" 

He's so nice.

"Thanks,"

"Anytime, dimples." He winks. "Welp I'm off to breakfast, I'll see ya'lls later!"

"Bye, Eli," I smile.

"Fuck off," Kai slams the door on him.

"He's nice," I tell him.

He grunts in response.

I walk over to the Keurig and make myself a cup of coffee. 

"Want some?" I ask Kai.

"No," He deadpans.

"Okay," I leave the coffee brewing and walk into my closet to get dressed for a surf.

I got all my homework done and I'm so happy. I finally have time to go surfing.

Bailey (7:56 am) hii!! are you going to the school fair tmrr??

Me (7:57 am) ermm maybee. im not sure yet loll

Bailey (8:00 am) ohh okie. lmkk!!

Me (8:01) kk!

I grab my bikini and decide I can handle the cold water. I put on a pair of black shorts and tie on my bikini top.

I grab my board from under my bed and slip on my sandals.

"Okay I'll be back later," I tell Kai, though it's like talking to a wall.

"Where are you going?" He speaks a full sentence.

"Surfing," I say in a duh tone.

"K," He goes back to his video game and I exit the door, not even realizing I forgot to drink my coffee.
