 The water was cool and relaxing, ebbing at your toes. The sun was bright and warm, a slight breeze stirring. You were certain you were in paradise. The rest of the gang was already in the water, save for Eliza.

"Come on _!" Feliciano waved.

"I'm going to change first."

You laughed at how all the boys wore their swimming trunks before leaving the school. You were happy everyone was able to hang out. Most students went back home to their families, though some went to vacation in the tropics. Thinking about it, all your friends could've clearly done that though they decided to vacation here with you. A warm fuzzy feeling filled you.

Closing the stall door behind you, you quickly changed.

"Ugh...is this really alright?" You asked no one in particular, looking at the reflection in the mirror. You made a fist in determination. You WERE going to enjoy today! You were a total babe! There was nothing to be worried about. Or at least, that's what you told yourself.

Exiting the bathroom Eliza instantly made eye contact, shaking her head side to side. You joined her in the shade but she didn't say anything else, reading under the large beach umbrella.

"What?"

"You KNOW what." Her eyes landed on the white T-shirt over your swimsuit.

"I-"

She held a hand up, silencing you.

"You'll never find a man without confidence. Did you see how depressed Al was when he saw you?"

"Really?"

"He was looking forward to seeing you in a bikini no doubt, like every college man would."

You brought your knees up to your chest, "...Perv."

Your eyes trailed over her body. She was indeed cute, then again she wasn't lacking as much in the uh, chest department.

"Every body is different. Every body is beautiful. Go have fun, _. Why waste time when you could be enjoying yourself?"

You moaned, knowing she was right, "Fine, but you have to help me put on the sunblock."

Turning your back towards the men you slipped your T-shirt off, tucking it inside your bag. Eliza made room for you on her towel, the sunblock cold. It did feel nice though as she massaged it into your skin. She giggled.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing."

Knowing better you peeked over your shoulder, the boys instantly looking away.

"Uh!" You could feel your face instantly turn red, quickly whipping your head back.

"Teehee! Oh, don't you think it's funny? I told you, you're beautiful. Oh Al's face is red too!"

God... That's just great. The last thing you wanted was for it to be awkward. It was common knowledge that Al liked you. The real question was...

"Tell me, do you like him?"

"Huh?"

"Al of course. You guys are always together. I'd say you're closer to him than you are me."

"That's not true!" You bit your lip. While Al had his charms you weren't sure whether you liked him THAT way. Imagining him holding your hand, calling him boyfriend, kissing...

"Ahh!!" You yelled, slumping against the towel.

"What's wrong?"

You covered your red face against the fabric.
