Better (A VFC/OC/NLT Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5

~COPYRIGHT 2011~

*Holly’s POV*

We all decided that today was the perfect day to go to the beach with the sun shining down out of the clear baby blue sky. I changed into my hot pink polka dot bikini and placed my clothes over it. Afterward I walked downstairs with my beach bag, my surfboard, and the humungous umbrella I’d brought.

We walked down the street to the beach. The sand was a pale shade of yellow and shone bright in the sunlight. The water was calm and there was no one else on the beach besides us. It was pure serenity. We set up the chairs, towels and the umbrellas and took off our clothes to reveal our bathing suits. All of the girls were wearing bikinis and all the guys were wearing their swim trubks. We went off in our own directions. Since the water didn’t have enough waves to surf, I followed Vicky, Ashlee, TC, Drew and Thomas over to the volleyball net.

“Girls against guys?” TC asked.

We smirked at one another. The three of us had played volleyball on the Varsity team in high school and we knew we’d cream these boys.

“Sure, why not?” Ashlee answered with a sweet smile. I laughed. “You guys can serve. We’ll go easy on you.”

They laughed at us as if they didn’t believe that we would beat them. They served the ball and I bumped it to Ashlee, who set it to Vicky, who spiked it on the guys. Their jaws dropped.

“Did you forget that we were on the Varsity team?” I giggled.

“We knew that but we didn’t think you were THAT good!” Thomas basically screamed.

We got the ball and served it this time. As the guys returned it, it was soaring towards the middle of the three of us and we all stared at each other for a second trying to figure out what to do. At the last minute I screamed, “I got it!” and dove for the ball. I fell into the sand, somehow managing to hit it. Vicky got my pass and hit it over, winning the point. I was lying in the sand, sand in places that it shouldn’t be, staring up at my friends. They laughed and helped me stand up.

“In a weird way, that was kind of hot,” Drew said and the guys laughed and high fived him. We all rolled our eyes and walked away.

I noticed that the waves had picked up so I grabbed my surfboard and pulled out, waiting for a good wave. I surfed for about 20 minutes and then made my way out of the water, ringing out my wet hair.

*Drew’s POV*

I watched as Holly walked out of the water. The crystal droplets glistened on her body as she shook her blonde hair out. She was beautiful and it bothered me that we weren’t together. She should be over here with me, smiling and laughing like we used to, but apparently I was “changing”. Yeah right. I’m just Drew, Drew Ryan Scott, the funny guy that everybody loves. It was torture to see her standing there in her bikini right in front of me. I just wanted to pull her close and press my lips against hers. But I couldn’t do it because I knew she wouldn’t let me.

*Dominique’s POV*

Michelle, Chris, Justin, Ashley, José, and I were deep in a sand castle building competition. I personally believed that I was winning, but Renee was going to be the judge of that. We still had 10 minutes left to get it finished. I put the finishing touches on it and then Renee walked over. She walked around our six sand castles and looked at each of them.

“Okay, best of the girls was Michelle and best of the guys was José. Best of all is…hmmm…I’d have to say José’s. Good job guys,” she said and walked away.

“Looks like mine sucked,” Justin said to himself and kicked his, destroying it.

“Awww, don’t say that JJ. I thought it was good,” I said.
