"How long will it take? It's been two hours and I am already tired as hell," I look over at Kyle who's driving the car.

After prom, there was still a week until graduation, so some of our class fellows decided to go to Fells beach, which is about a 3 hour drive from Fellsburg. And so here I am, stuck in a car for the last two hours, losing my mind.

"It's just an hour ahead," Kyle replies.

"And its already four," I groan.

"Just a little more patience sweetheart," he takes my hand and kisses it, earning a smile from me.

I nod over to him and look in the side mirror to adjust my hat. I'm wearing a black tank top, with cutout denim shorts and a matching fedora. Kyle is wearing some shorts, a grey tshirt and a fedora too.

"Ciara wont come into the water," Nina sighed.

"Who said she has a choice?," Mason pointed out.

"What?," Nina and I say in unison and as soon as I realized what he is talking about, I jump off my beach mat and run.
