keep it lowkey

School doesn't start for two more days. I don't know why they have us come set up our dorms so early. They say it gives us time to get used to the environment. Its now 10 am. I slept in but not a lot. Paris is still sleeping. I can hear people moving outside my door and get back in bed without a worry. I am tired and kind of upset with how things are turning out.  I have no plans for today since Taylor actually has orientation today and Paris is going somewhere with Tanner and Dylan is probably trying to tag along. I guess I could see if Zach wanted to go to the lake. Its a good day for a swim and our building is on the beach. Im still in my sweatpants and tight pink tank top when I knock on the door. Zach opens it and then lies back on his bed. I sit on the ground criss cross. Im quiet enough not to wake up Quentin.

"Wanna go to the beach today?" Im hella bored and have nothing planned. I want to make the last couple days fun before school starts.

"Yeah sounds good just give me like ten more minutes."

I sigh but sit on the end of his bed and pull out my phone. After a couple minutes trying to get a hold of Dylan I lay back and sigh. I guess I made a little too much noise because Quentin wakes up.

"What are you doing here?" He asks

"waiting for Zach, we are going to the lake in ten."

"Cool, mind if I join I have nothing to do today except hit the gym but that comes later?"

"Sure. The more the merrier" I say while I wake up Zach again. "It's been ten minutes get up! I want to go before I hear Paris talk about Tanner again"

"Alright alright I'm getting up." Zach says groggily

I walk down the long narrow hallway on my tiptoes and quietly push the button for the elevator, thinking the stairs are kinda full in the morning. I close my eyes hoping everything will be fine today. I hear the ding and step in. I push the button with the think lettering '3'. It takes less then 10 seconds to ding again and I walk out and enter the second hallway all the way to room 344. I swipe my key and walk in leaving the door slightly open. Quietly I rummage through my drawers to find a bikini. I grab a blue triangle top and black bottoms. I quickly change into my swimsuit and grab a pair of jean shorts to wear over it. I grab one of Zach' baggy shirts I stole last year and head out with no shoes, which might be an issue when I try to get back in building later. Now I'm standing in the lobby waiting to meet Zach and Quentin.

Zach walked out of the elevator first in his salmon pink swim trunks with a tiny pineapple pattern, a white tank, a towel over his shoulder and some really worn out flip flops in his hand. He obviously didn't put time into doing his hair since it would get wet anyway. Quentin walks out also with black swim trunks down to his knees and a bright yellow towel in his hands and sunglasses in the next. He also didn't have shoes on. We walked out of the building and took one of the golf carts available to students to the beach. The golf cart always had a cooler on it with 12 waters. I always thought that that was very considerate.

We don't talk the entire ride there. Zach drove and I sat passenger while quentin sat in the back facing the opposite direction. The beach was empty besides the few seniors who had the same idea. I set my towel out and took off my shorts and the shirt zach still hasn't realized that he is missing. I skip the sunscreen and just lie down on my towel.

"Are the jet-skis out yet?" Zach asks

"I don't know and they still scare me from last year." I answer

"Oh yeah didn't you like fall off or something?" Zach asks

"Yeah it was terrifying"
