"Are you ready?" Eliza stood in the bedroom doorway with her hands on her hips. She wore a cute floral dress, white sandals on her feet.

"I'm coming." You called, slinging a bag over your shoulder.

Both of you left the school grounds, descending the hill towards town. The bright summer sun was warm and inviting, people out enjoying the nice day. She slipped on some shades, her light brown hair shining in the sunlight. Today felt wonderful.

Townsfolk chatted in archways, jogged in colorful spandex, or flew kites in the nearby park. You followed Eliza as she entered a store, cool air-conditioning hit your skin giving you a slight chill.

        "Welcome ladies! Have anything in mind or just browsing?" The kind shop keeper asked.

"Where do you keep your swimsuits?" Eliza asked.

"Far wall. Let me know if you need a fitting."

"Thanks." You mumbled quickly, Eliza dragging you towards the brightly colored swimwear.

      That's right, it was summer vacation. A group of you had plans to visit the beach, a real one, not just the lake. You couldn't help be excited. However, looking at all the different swimsuits made you slightly apprehensive. Eliza assured you that you'd look cute in anything, but you knew you'd wear this practically all summer long.

"Ooh look at this one." She cooed, holding up a strappy bikini.

"Um...isn't it missing a lot?"

She giggled, "That's how it's supposed to look. C'mon, give it a try."

"Uhh, no thanks."

"Why don't you try stepping out of your comfort zone? You've been shut inside playing games all summer!"

You pouted, tossing the red stringy fabric aside.

"It wouldn't hurt to have at least SOME structure." You thumbed through the racks, having trouble choosing.

"You know he'll like you in whatever you wear."

"Oh stop it! Wait, who are we talking about?"

"Al of course! You should just date him already, before some other cat comes around and beats you to it."

"We're just friends, remember? Besides..." You trailed off. You couldn't help but want to find a boyfriend this year. You never really had a chance to date in high school. Besides, this was college. The guys had matured (somewhat) into men. Honestly, you'd be fine even with a fling.

"Hello? Earth to _!"

"Huh? Oh." Your eyes landed on the swimsuit in her hand. It was a (fav. color) bikini. It wasn't nearly as revealing as the previous thing she wanted to strap you into.

"Oh I know that look! Go try it on."

"Whuh? Wait, no"-

       "Oh, you're ready for a fitting?" The shop keeper asked with a smile.

"Not"-

"This way."

You sighed, resting your back against the white wall. She had practically shoved you into the cramped dressing room. You started to undress, hanging your clothes on the metal hooks. Staring at your reflection you couldn't help but blush. It was revealing...yet you were a college student! This WAS summer break after all.

"Oh my gosh! _, it looks great on you!" Eliza grinned as you exited the changing room, pink spread across your face.

"Really? It's not too...showy?"
