One day I was walking along the shore singing to myself quietly and taking in the view. It was the first day of summer and it was hot. I was in a black bikini and flip flops. My dark brown hair was messy but soft, and in a way, pretty. I had blue eyes like the color of the sea and already had a decent tan. I was 17. I always spent summers with my best friend Nicole (17), my brother Chris(18), and his best friend Brad(18) at a beach house in Miami. I was the only one at the house right now because I left a day early to make sure everything was ready for us. They were all supposed to arrive in less than an hour. My brother said he invited another person but didn't tell me who.
It was going to be our first summer by ourselves and no adults. We were all excited. We had planned to throw a bunch of parties. I was in the middles of planning one in my head when I heard someone yell my name.
"CRYSTAL!!!" yelled Nicole as she ran towards me in her navy blue sundress. Her long dirty blond hair was flowing behind her and her bright green eyes were as big as saucers.
I ran towards her as fast as I could. "NICOLE!!! Aren't you early?" I asked as we hugged.
"The boys thought we should start summer earlier this year"
"Of course they did."
And with that, we walked off towards the house, arm in arm.
