A Little Bit of Everything and Everyone

Everyone Can See It (Keaton Stromberg)

Leslie

"Hey Les, let's go to the beach!!!" my sister calls from downstairs. I jump out of bed where I was working on a new blog post and quickly change from my pajamas to a swimsuit and throw a tank top and some shorts over top.

"Les!! Let's go or I'm leaving!!!!" I rush out of my room and nearly trip down the stairs trying to make it to the front door quickly so my sister doesn't leave me.

"Chill Sierra, I'm here let's go," We walk out of our house and to the car where we jam to the radio on our way to the beach. After parking at our parents' beach bar, we head to the water.

"Les, don't forget your board," Sierra tells me. I nod and jog to the back of the bar to grab my surfboard. Sierra has already secured us a spot and is laying out beach chairs. Fellow sun tanning girls and surfboard riding guys are scattered around. A few chick and guys wave at us, recognizing the two of us from past days spent on the beach and at the bar.

"I'll be in the water!!" I call to Sierra.

"Of course you will be. I'll be here." She lays back in the sun, pressing play on her music.

"Waiting for Dreeewwwww," I say in a sing-song voice. Drew Chadwick is my sister's boyfriend of three years. I'm waiting for them to announce their engagement anytime now but Sierra insists that it won't be happening anytime soon.

"Shut up Leslie, just cuz your Keater Pan hasn't made a move yet doesn't mean you can tease me about Drew." I feel my face burn and run out to the water. I paddle through the waves and wait for the perfect one. I've been sitting and waiting for a bit when suddenly I'm pushed off my board and flip into the water. I come up and push my hair out of my face to find a pair of hazel eyes and a mop of brown hair dying of laughter.

"I hate you. Like seriously despise you." I say climbing back onto my board and paddling away. Keaton follows me.

"Go away I'm mad at you," I say turning away from him. He's still laughing at me.

"Nah, you love me Leslie. C'mon best friend you know you do." I glance at my best friend and roll my eyes.

"Fine. But you're still an idiot." Keaton laughs. We spend the next hour on the water before heading back up where we find Wes and Drew with Sierra.

"What up homies??" I ask as Keaton and I walk up. I take a seat next to my sister and crack open a bottle of water, taking a swig before tossing it to Keaton.

"We're having a cookout at my house tonight. Bring the s'mores stuff," Drew says.

"Well okay then, c'mon Keaton I want ice cream," I say standing up. Keaton follows me and Wes makes the international noise for being whipped. I flick him off and so does Keats. They laugh and we walk away.

"I think Drew and Sierra are going to break the news tonight," Keaton says.

"What news?" I ask.

"That they're engaged."

"No they're not. Sierra would've told me."

"Okay, ten bucks says they are and they tell everyone tonight at the cookout." I shake Keaton's hand. We stop at the ice cream store. Keaton pays for me, causing me to slap his arm.

"Ow why are you so abusive?!" He yells. I laugh. We eat our ice cream while walking on the boardwalk. Sierra texts me to say she's going home and Keaton and I are on our own cuz Wes left too.

"The losers ditched so we're on our own. What time are we supposed to be at Drew's?" I ask Keaton.

"Not till six." It's only three.
