Amelia
Amelia stood in front of her closet, a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her. Today was the day she would meet JJ's friends: John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and Cleo. They'd been dating for a month, but she had yet to meet the group that meant so much to him. The thought made her stomach flutter with nerves and excitement.

"Amelia, you look great! Just be yourself," her friend Mia encouraged from the doorway, giving her a thumbs-up.

Amelia smoothed down her sundress, a light blue that complimented her sun-kissed skin. She took a deep breath, reminding herself that these were JJ's friends—people who had accepted him for who he was, and that was a good sign.

As she arrived at the beach, the sound of laughter and waves greeted her. JJ was there, his hair tousled by the ocean breeze, and his smile made her heart race. He rushed over, wrapping his arms around her waist. "You made it! I was starting to think you'd change your mind."

"Never," she replied, feeling reassured by his warmth.

"Come on, let me introduce you," he said, leading her toward the group gathered on the sand.

Amelia's heart pounded as they approached. John B stood confidently, a playful smirk on his face, while Sarah, with her easy laugh, sat cross-legged next to Kiara, who was animatedly discussing something. Pope leaned against a surfboard, looking both relaxed and curious, while Cleo lounged nearby, her vibrant energy lighting up the scene.

"Hey, everyone! This is Amelia!" JJ announced, his voice bright.

"Hey, Amelia! Nice to finally meet you!" John B said, extending a hand.

"Nice to meet you!" she replied, shaking his hand and feeling the warmth of his welcome.

"JJ's told us a lot about you," Sarah added, her smile genuine. "All good things, I promise!"

"Yeah, like how he once tried to impress you with his 'surfing skills,'" Kiara teased, winking at Amelia.

"More like disastrous attempts!" JJ interjected, rolling his eyes but laughing.

Amelia relaxed, their playful banter easing her nerves. "I think I'm more impressed by your courage to get on a board in the first place," she replied, glancing at JJ with a grin.

"Touché!" he said, and the group chuckled.

"Come on, let's get you settled in," Pope said, gesturing toward the blanket spread out on the sand. "We've got snacks and everything you need for a perfect beach day."

As they settled in, Amelia found herself chatting easily with Kiara, who was passionate about environmental activism. They quickly bonded over their shared love for the ocean, discussing everything from beach clean-ups to their favorite surf spots.

"What about you?" Kiara asked, leaning forward with interest. "What do you love about the Outer Banks?"

"Honestly, the sunsets are breathtaking," Amelia replied, looking out at the horizon where the sun was beginning to dip. "And the sense of community here is incredible."

John B nodded in agreement. "It's the best place to be, especially in the summer. You'll get used to all the craziness soon enough!"

"Craziness? Like what?" Amelia asked, curiosity piqued.
