I woke up with Ethan, but we were in a different position. We pretty much just switched places. I checked the time, it was 9:30. I ran my fingers through Ethan's hair and his grip tightened just slightly. Then he adjusted himself.

After a couple of minutes, I tried getting up, but Ethan pulled me back so that I was on his lap. "No you're mine, you can't leave me. I'll scream." I tried getting up again, just to mess with him. "Ahhhhh" He said, no not yelled, said. I laughed "You're cute" I said squishing his cheeks. He started to fondle my cheek. "You're so beautiful." He said leaning in. But I pulled away. He gave me a confused look. "Ethan, I'm sorry but this isn't right. We aren't dating, I don't want to have a friend with benefits." Ethan had a mad/ sad look on his face. Then he got up. "Well, excuse me! I just wanted to make it special! I could do it like Grayson did to Lauren! I can just take you down to free breakfast and just casually say 'hey wanna be my girlfriend?!' No! You mean a lot to me! Any other girl, yeah,I would ask them like Grayson did. But see Rachel you're like a drug, and I'm addicted. No, I don't want friends with benefits, NEVER. I don't want that at all." He finished while looking out of the window. I got up, and hugged him from behind. "You know, you are the only person I've ever met who has said as many nice things you've said." He turned around, faced me, then hugged me. "Lauren, Taylor, and I are going to the beach to hang out. You can just hang out with your pals-" i said chuckling "But for this date, fancy or casual?" "Fancy" He said putting on his shirt. "I'm not annoying you right? You're not mad at me right?" I said rubbing his back. "No" he said turning around and looking me in my eyes "Please" I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him towards me. As we were kissing i realized that he wasn't the only one who was addicted.

*Fast forwarding to the beach*

I pushed the umbrella into the sand and put down the mat, while Lauren and Taylor were out in the hot sun without a special sand mat or umbrella, just towels. "Why is she the only smart one?" Lauren asked while turning to Taylor, all Tay did was shrug. I was putting on sunscreen while they put on tanning oil. "Hey Rachel" I looked over at them "You're a nerd!" "WOW YOU'RE SO FUNNY!"

After a while i decided to go swimming because why not? Since Lauren can barely swim to save her life, me and Taylor went. I grabbed my surf board, and said "You ready?" "Wait you can surf? Wow, and I thought I was cool." I laughed and started surfing while she just looked for shells.

I was applying more sunscreen because I noticed I was turning pink, so while I did that I thought i should bring up some casual banter (wtf am i doing). "So Taylor, you and Matt?" "Ugh it's hard to explain, like we act just like a couple but he doesn't have the fucking balls to ask me out." "Do you guys like sleep together? NOT IN LIKE A DIRTY WAY OKAY?" "No Matt and I really just hold hands and kiss, but not like intense make out sessions. But what about you Rach? How are you and Ethan?" "Well, we have make out sessions, we cuddle, we sleep together and no not in a dirty way, we hold hands, and all that shit. It's funny you should ask because me and Ethan have a date tonight at 6:00, OH! And it's not like a casual date its going to be fancy." Lauren and Taylor just stared at me. "What?" "Get some girl because lemme tell you, Ethan is in fucking love with you. I swear to you." "Okay whatever I'm going to go surf."

I was 5 minutes into surfing when I seen a huge mass come towards me. I felt a slam at my thigh, then all the water around me turned red, that's when I knew that i was attacked by a shark.

Thank god I know a lot about animals, I know that the shark that attacked me was a bull shark, when of the most dangerous and aggressive sharks, it may be small but, it's right underneath a Great white shark.

"HELP" I screamed as loud as I could. As I was swimming to shore i realized that the part of my thigh that the shark bit was still attached to my leg. Taylor and Lauren were running toward me, I was close to shore. Lauren was on the phone I'm hoping she's calling 911. Everything is turning black, oh god am I dying?! Just then everything went black and all the noise drained out.
