"Do you think she paid that douche to be her boyfriend?" Callum chuckled. Him, Elle, and I sat at the smoothie shack looking up at the library which sat a little ways past the shore of the beach. Amelia stood in the doorway, balling and complaining to some dude in a flannel shirt and a snapback and another girl with this obnoxious, bright blue hair. Every now and then, Amelia's newfound paid boyfriend would glance our way with an angry look on his face. Well, I wouldn't call it 'angry' but more of a 'tryna impress the girl' look.

Before I could return to sipping my smoothie, I was interrupted by a rude, "ahEm." I turned around to see the douche of the year standing side by side with the blue-haired girl.

"What the hell do you want?" I yelled at them.

"I don't know what damage or pain you threesome have inflicted on Lia, so let's keep this simple," the guy said. He stepped closer to us and poked his finger at us as if he were trying to intimidate us. "Don't you fucking dare hurt her again, or she won't be the only one in pain."

"That's quite correct. You'll be the one in pain, you suck-up," Callum said, turning around on his stool. Elle just turned back around to her smoothie. The blue-haired girl seemed a bit offended by this statement, given her disgusted facial expression.

"C'mon, Brian. I don't think the three of them are very respectful.." she muttered.

That was it. I threw the remains of my smoothie at the girl and the guy, leaving them in a strawberry-lemonade mess. "If you think we're anywhere near respectful then you obviously haven't met us yet."

The girl stood there in awe, mouth agape and dripping smoothie, but the Brian dude was tryna find an excuse to critique the way we lived again.

"Shoo, bitch," Elle said with a smirk. At hearing this, both of them walked off, trying to clean their outfits off.

"Hey guuuuyss?" I said, a grin slowly coming to my face. "I have a plan."
