Skinny Love [ˈskinē ləv] n.
when two people love each other but are too shy to admit it but they still show it.
People said that I had a skinny love with Wesley, but I refused to believe it. He didn't love me the way I loved him, he was art to me...
"You guy let's head to Santa Cruz today!" Chase suggest.
"Yeah! It's Friday, we have a half day and spring break. Why not? I know some friends having a bonfire." Jonah said.
"Is it that Cody guy?" Sammee asked.
"Herbinko?" Belle asked confused.
"No he doesn't go here." Jonah replied.
"Ugghhh." I groaned. "Is it that Rye guy?"
"Ryle? Yeah. Why?" Jonah asked.
"Isn't he college or something? Are we really going to a college bonfire?" Sammee asked.
"I don't see why not, I mean we're going to be in college next year, might as well get a feel for what some of the events are like." Wes says.
"Eh, fuck it I'm in." I say.
"Well if Honey is going I'm going too. Someone has to stop her from getting wasted." Sammee said looking at me.
"Hey! That was one time!" I say defending myself.
"I can't I have to go down to LA tonight. Cousin's wedding." Belle says.
"Aww that's a bummer that you cant go. Next time?"Chase asks.
"Yeah next time." Belle says smiling.
"Wes, you're coming right?" Jonah asked.
"Yeah man. But who's going to be the designated driver?" Wes asks, always the responsible one.
"We can just get 2 rooms at the hotel we always do," I say, "I'll call Damien right now, let him know were coming over."
"You guys do this often I take it?" Chase asks.
"Yeah we do it whenever we can. It's nice to get away you know." Sammee explains.
"Hey you guys, we can get three rooms for cheaper, wanna ask Herbinko if he wants to go?" I ask everyone. Cody is a mutual friend of everyone. He's cool to hang out with. He doesn't drink or smoke so when he's at a party with us he's the designated driver. He doesn't really mind going to Santa Cruz with us, he's gone with us a few times just to hang out.
"Yeah sure, he can drive us to the hotel, and now if Chase wants to drink or smoke with us he can," Sammee said, "Belle you have to go with us to Santa Cruz next time, you'd love the beach."
"I will. I'll be back by Wednesday so we can go Thursday through Saturday." Belle say in her usual happy tone.
Belle isn't really a party person, more of a people person. So she fits into a party, but doesn't party hard. She's the girl that everyone likes and talks to even though they don't know her.
"Okay. Damien says that the rooms are ready for whenever we get there. I'll go talk to Herbinko about joining us at the bonfire." I tell everyone too meet up at my house, give give Chase my address because you know, that's where we are meeting and all."
I walk to the senior bridge that connects the upstairs library to the upstairs English building. I know, having a bridge in a school is weird, but the school has been doing a lot of renovations lately and the senior asked for a bridge as a joke, but the admins took it seriously, and long story short, we now have a senior bridge.
"Hey Herbinko, wanna go to Santa Cruz for the weekend. We're headed to a bonfire with some friends tonight and just planned on staying for the weekend."
I explained.
"Sure. I'm not smoking or drinking with you guys though."
"Yeah, I know. But I know how much you like the beach and the boardwalk."
"Aww. You're too nice Honey."
"Well you do always have my back at work."
"No, you always have my back at work."
"Well whatever. Point is meet at my house after school."
----------- After school----------
"Okay you guys got everything?" Sammee asked.
"yeah we got everything. Clothes, money, snacks, bathroom essentials." I hear Jonah say.
"Bathroom essentials??" I ask.
"Yeah like tooth brush, toothpaste, shampoo, ya know stuff like that." Jonah says as if I'm two years old.
"you mean toiletries?" Me and Sammee say at the same time.
"Yeah those things." Jonah says.
"And all everyone's parents know were out for the weekend yeah?" I asked.
I get a simultaneous "Yes mom" from literally everyone.
"Cool. Let's get this show on the road!" Wes says.
"Okay. Me, Sugar and Jonah in one car, and Sammee, Chase and Cody in the other."
We all get into our designated cars are start our trip to Santa Cruz. The whole time in our car Jonah decided to play fucking Somo the whole way there. Mental note to self: never let Jonah drive again. This is so weird. And to add to it, Jonah is singing so loud, it's not that hes bad, it's that him
"Jonah, Give me the AUX cord. I love you but you're a shit DJ." Wes says bluntly.
"Psh. I'm amazing." He says smiling.
"No you're not." Me and Wes say at the same time.
"Okay fine, but Honey is getting the AUX cord, not you." Jonah say to Wes while handing me the AUX cord.
"Thanks fam." I say while plugging in my phone.
The rest of the way to the hotel I play my playlist that consisted of blackbear, the 1975, G Easy, EDEN, The Chainsmokers and some other artists.
We all arrive at the hotel and get the room keys from Damien. All the rooms are right next to each other. Rooms were: Me and Sammee, Cody and Wes, and Chase and Jonah. Since Chase got along really well with Jonah and didn't really know Cody, that's how the rooms were arranged. We had like a hour and half to get ready, so me and Sammee Got ready and the guys lounged around until the last half hour. We all got into Herbinko's car when we were all ready and drove to the board walk.

We get to the beach and Jonah's friend Cody walks up to us.
"HEYYYY! WHAT'S UP FAM? WELCOME TO THE BONFIRE. DRINKS IN THE COOLER AND ANDREW OVER THERE GOT THE KUSH." Cody said with his booming voice.
"Oh god," I thought to myself, "Tonight is definitely going to be interesting. I'm going to need a blunt before I start talking to any of these idiots."

A.N.- Sorry for the HELLA late update. I was having some major writer's block, but the next chapter should be interesting because something always happens at parties.
