The Summer Job | g.d

I feel the soft sand beneath my feet, the wind blow over my hair and the fresh smell of the ocean waft into my nose. I guess that is why people call this paradise. Th beach is empty and all to myself and I couldn't help but chuckle as I walk along it. I couldn't believe that I was adamant about not coming here.

It is beautiful.

I get that it would be even better if Ace was here but you can't get everything you wish for. I look out over the water to see various boats and ships off in the horizon. The huge resort circled all around this incove that I assume is the main beach but as it is only six in the morning I understand why no one is out enjoying the sun.

The beach went up about twenty or so metres before there was a small stone wall separating it from the small path. This resort is a zero transport one so there are no roads within which I think makes this place even cooler. There isn't honestly a lot I could fault.

All I want to do is swim at the moment but I know I should just wait until this afternoon once the whole family is out here. I only came out here for a morning walk anyway.

I finally reach the end of the beach and I spin around on my foot turning back the way I came. I could see a couple of runners running up from the other side of the beach but they were the only humans in sight. It was luxurious.

I wasn't sure how busy this place would get but I guess because it is the first week of summer, people are holding off coming up here so I guess we get the first week to ourselves before other people start coming.

I turn off of the beach, back onto the path and I chuck my sandals down onto the ground before I step into them, placing them onto my feet. A large gust of wind pushes me almost knocking me off of my feet but I manage to keep balance.

Crushed it.

I begin my walk back up to my room, if I can even remember where to go. It had almost taken me half an hour to find the beach as I kept heading in the wrong direction this morning. I didn't exactly know where to go but I sort of had a brief idea of my bearings, however I ended up just walking up the end of the peninsular. And back before finding the main beach.

I find my building, named Turtle and I step up into it, finding the elevator and riding it to floor fifteen. The top floor of the building was twenty so we were quite high up. There were four buildings surrounding a small courtyard and they were shark, crab, jellyfish and turtle, the building we were staying in.

I get up to my floor and I whip my keys out of my pocket, opening up the door to my room. I needed a shower. I had gotten up in the morning and chucked on a small beach outfit before going out so I haven't even showered since before the plane journey so I feel a bit disgusting right now.

I grab my toiletry bag out of my suitcase I strut over to my own bathroom. This is simply heaven. All I want to do is run up to my Mom and hug her for getting me my own room as I don't exactly want to spend much time with Dad or Henry. And sharing a room with them would have been a slight struggle.

Which is quite the understatement.

My shower lasts about ten minutes today as I wanted to really wash all the air salt out of my hair so I could look really cute on my first day at the beach. I want to make an impression on the people staying here. I want to be the hot resident.

And hopefully there are a couple cute guys staying.

Clarke, you have a boyfriend.

I step out of the shower and notice something stuck to the wall. They didn't. They gave you a hairdryer? Oh my, this really was like the Hilton. High end and luxury. I pull it off the wall applying it to my head as I feel my hair frizz up.
