Summer Loving

Tan Lines

       This summer was going to be great! Not only do I get to work with my two best friends but by August I'll be living my dream in the Big apple. How can I girl get so lucky. When my Bff Scott called to ask if I wanted to be a life guard in Palm West Country club I didn't hesitate to say yes. Thank god for Scott and his dad! I had applied to 20 places with no luck, if it wasn't for Mr. Weston aka Scotts dad needing extra help at the Country I would've been screwed. 

         Since our High school graduation I was struggling to find a part time job and I definitely needed the extra cash. Finding out I got into NYU was a dream come true and luckily my parents were willing to help me out but any extra money would come in handy. New York is not a cheap city I tell you that.

         As I laid on my bed I felt my phone vibrated from under my pile of clothes. I was decluttering my closet but I succeeded in only making my room look like a total mess. I throw all the crap I had on my bed to the floor.AHHH THERE YOU ARE! I screamed in glee.I found my baby, yes I was one of those girls. You know the ones that loved their phone more than air itself, ok am slightly exaggerating but it means a lot to me! It was practically surgically attached to me. As I unlocked it I saw I had a new text.

Text From Bff Lucy

"Ugh r u done cleaning yet Laila! IM BORED !!!!!!!!! "

I smiled as I read her text she wanted to hit the beach today and get our tan on but I was stuck here getting nothing done.

"College doesn't start for three more months you have tons of time to pack plus what we need to be doing is tanning and finding you a boy toy ;)"

Okay she had a point I had spent so much time during my last two years of high school studying and participating in after school clubs that I kind of missed out in actually have "fun". I got into NYU for god sakes. I deserved to let loose, I was by no means ready to become a party animal like Lucy but I could unwind a bit. I had three more months to enjoy the Floridian sun and I was going to do just that.

I reached for my phone typed out a reply to Lucy

"Your right :p still wants to go to the beach?"   She wasted no time replying

Text from Lucy

"How abt we hit up the country club heard Scott cousin from NY was gonna be there maybe you can show him your tan lines lmao!!"

That was Lucy always trying to hook me up with some guy but this was the first time she tired it with a guy we both never meet.

"PARTY POOPER." 

Rolling my eyes I send her a quick see you in 10 mins and went to get dress this girl had no chill button I swear but I loved her anyways.  

         Living in Florida had its pros and cons. Pro the weather Con the weather and because of the weather my long brown hair was looking like a ratted nest if Lucy saw me leave the house like this she literally shit a brick. Trust me you don't want to see that. I cringed as I ran a comb throw my hair ripping out knots as I went along, long hair was such a hassle I sighed. 

          When I was done I gave myself a good look in the mirror, "Not bad Laila" I thought out loud. I had somehow managed to tame the beast I call hair and it now fall down my back in loose waves, for my outfit I threw on a pair of light wash denim shorts that were fringed and distressed a baby blue crop top and a gold pair of gladiator sandals. A couple of accessories competed the look,I was going for cute yet causal. It was summer in Florida so makeup wasn't a big must a bit of concealer and massacre to make my green eyes pop and bronzer to give my olive skin the illusion of a glow that I didn't have yet. I grabbed my bag stuff a bikini in it  and with that I flew down the stairs and into my car.
