Zinnia's POV

When Saturday rolled around, i couldn't contain my excitement to go to the beach. Although it is slightly cold outside but who cares. I was just done with this week of school. We would be having our final exams in roughly two months or so and then summer! I simply can't wait for it. Also, i can't believe that it is already April. 

Zach and i have been talking to each other a lot more than usual. We have gotten closer to each other. Although we only went out twice, we hang out a lot in school with Jake and Jess as well. 

School is getting even more hectic with class tests, assignments, presentations and homework. I am so not looking forward to the other half of the year. After summer, I'm going to be a senior in high school.

Zach had texted me that his two friends Nick and Oliver are going to tag along. I have met Nick and Oliver before. Once in awhile, both of them would have lunch with us at our table. Zach would rotate between his friends and mine. 

Coincidentally, Colton is friends with the two of them too since they share quite a number of classes with each other. Nick is the slightly more quieter one of the two. Oliver is the goofy type. He sure knows how to put a smile on your face if you are ever glum.

Looking at my phone, i knew i had about an hour before both Colton and i had to leave to go over to Jess's house. All of us have decided to meet up at her place and then we would take two cars from there to the beach, since all of us definitely wouldn't fit in one car. I quickly got up and made my bed.

After that, i packed all the necessities like a towel, sunscreen, sun glasses, my Ipod, earphones and hand phone into my regular beach bag before taking my black and purple striped bikini, along with a simple white sundress that i took out last night to the bathroom to change into and do my usual morning routine.

Once i was ready, i applied some lip balm and ran a brush through my hair. After contemplating on what to do with my hair, i just decided to throw it up into a messy bun. Once i was satisfied with how i looked, i slipped on a pair of flip flops and walked towards my brother's room with my beach bag in hand.

As i reached his room i realized he wasn't in there. 'He must be downstairs then' i thought. I turned around and walked downstairs almost bumping into mom. "Be careful sweetheart! Good morning by the way." mom smiled as she steadied me as i was going to fall. 

"Thank you mom. And good morning to you too. Do you know where is Colton?" I asked her.

"Yeah. He is downstairs having breakfast with your father. I came up to call you thinking you were still asleep. Come on now, let's go before the men scarf down all the food." She chuckled whilst walking down the stairs. 

Both of us walked into the kitchen to see what was left of the breakfast mom made. Wishing both my dad and brother good morning, i was glad to see that they left some french toast for the both of us. Thank God! I was really hungry. On second thoughts, i am always hungry.

Setting my beach bag down, I took a few pieces of french toast, a glass of orange juice and proceeded to eat it. Mom was talking to me about some sale at the mall and that both of us should have some girl time and get some shopping done. I agreed with her since i needed some new clothes as well.
