Everyone was fond of summer. Wether it be the parties or the fun they had planned. People got tan, hooked up, let loose, and above all just got a break from work. The word summer is one's happiness or one's sadness. Whatever the occasion, whatever the memory, whatever the planes people never stopped talking about summer.

Rays of heat beat down on the small town. It wasn't a very large town, but it was one of the state's hotspots. Galveston, Texas. Heat radiated back into the air from the water and sand making the hot humid air even hotter. There was no break from the constant beating of the heat for there was not a sight of clouds in the blue sky. A perfect day some might say.

The small beach was littered with people. Not one spot on the blistering hot sand was open for someone else to join in. Pink, green, and other neon colors polluted the sand. Ladies trying to rock their new swimsuits. The girls flirting with the lifeguard. Boys wooing girls, catcalling. Another typical day on the dirty sands of Galveston.

Maneuvering through the sweaty bodies of people on the sand was hard as it was; looking for a spot to sit would be even harder. Eyes scanned for places to pop a squat, but only did one person plop down half way in the green looking ocean and half on the soggy sand where kids laughed and played with the sticky substance of the damp sand.  Her body was cooled from the waist down; just enough to not feel like she was freezing but enough to not feel like she was burning to death.

She wasn't entirely decked out in complete swimwear, but she wore what complimented her and kept her comfortable. Having a good eye un style was one of her virtues and many times she was glad she had a keen eye. Her dark brown hair was pulled into a high ponytail and shorts hugged her waist. Of course like any day in Galveston, it was hot and of course humid. The girl wasn't dumb enough to wear heavy clothes when she would be out in the sun for a while, so like any rational human being she wore a melon colored bikini top.

Her eyes were closed as she simply sat there trying to stay cool in the summer. Every other person there was doing the same thing. Though the heat was merciless everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the day at the beach. The young female was one of those people who was alone, but seemed to be content with the absence of another person. It is human nature to be social, so she was. Making small talk with the children running past her and splashing her on accident. Occasionally she lent a hand on the construction of a castle and whatnot.

There she sat. People went and came and eventually everyone simply started to fade away and disappear from the beach. There the female sat. Her body laying back in the sand as she looked up at the lilac hued sky. The cool breeze moving the waves and kicking up sand. She closed her eyes and sighed a heavy sigh of relief. The simple coolness made her glow in the inside. Her lack of sleep in the last couple of weeks have been dragging her down and holding her back, causing her to drift off to sleep in the strangest of places. Slowly she drifted into her peaceful setting and escaped to dream land.

Not long after her little nap she woke with a jolt and reluctantly hauled herself up the beach. It was late and she didn't want to be kicked off the beach like she had been a couple weeks ago for sleeping on the beach. Her body ached to be in the comforts of her bed and the beep of the car unlocking made her flinch.

The strong scents that filled her nose made her smile. She had a strange addiction to christmas smelling car plugs that made her car smell of vanilla, gingerbread, and other christmas smells. It was her favorite holiday and besides, who didn't like a fabulous smelling car?
