•Dria's POV•
"Dria, get up!" I heard Marlee say. I groaned & rolled over. "Alexandria Marissa!" She said. "Ugh! I HATE when you say my full name." I replied. "I know" Marlee said with a smirk, "get up & I won't say it again." I hopped up, & packed up my stuff into my leopard printed VS backpack.
We were walking towards the nearest Target to change & do our makeup. I know, it sounds silly, but where else are we going to do it?
We finally reached Target & headed toward the dressing room. I changed into my black swimsuit bottoms & threw some high-waisted shorts over them. Then I exchanged my T-shirt for a leopard print bikini top & a black & white 'Hakuna Matata' crop top. I put my dirty clothes into my backpack. I pulled out my black flip flops & my sunglasses. I decided to leave my naturally wavy hair down & put on some water-proof mascara. I was ready to go.
I knocked on the stall next to me. "Marls, you almost done? You little slow-poke!" I questioned. *Click* Marls stepped out wearing a mint green fringe bathing suit top with plain black bottoms. She had on black flip flops, also. She covered up her swim suit with a pink, black, & white tribal printed sun dress. She had her naturally straight black hair down, pulled back with a black bandana. & little makeup as well.
I am so jealous of Marlee. She is so pretty. Short, natural straight hair, freckles, flat stomach, thigh gap. She can rock anything.
Marlee snapped me out of my trance. "Hey girly, it's not getting any lighter outside!" "True that" I reply. We grab our backpacks & head to the beach.
Once we are there I get set up & plug my headphones in & start tanning. Marlee pokes me. "What?" I grumble. "I'm going to look for shells" she tells me. I nod my head & she walks away. My favorite song comes on Classic by MKTO. I start to sing along. I thought I was singing quietly until I noticed my sun was being blocked & something light fell on me. It was a 5 dollar bill. "Oh my goodness!" a short brunette guy said. He looks 15-17. "You are really good!" "Thanks" I reply. Him & 5 of his friends kept complementing me, then walked away. They were all REALLY cute. Oh well. I looked at my backpack sitting next to me. It was a receipt with a phone number on it. The note said...
"I'm the one with the blonde hair who is kinda tall with green-blue eyes. Text me? -Connor"
He was the cutest one out if all of them. I typed the number into my phone & sent him a text:
Dria: Hey, is this Connor?
I got a reply several seconds later
Connor: Yup! Is this the cutie from the beach?
Dria: Haha yeah.
Connor: Sorry, I didn't catch your name.
Dria: I'm Alexandria. But Dria for short.
Connor: I like that. Hey, me & my friends are going to go get something to eat. Want to tag along?
Dria: Sure! But can I bring my bestfriend?
Connor: Sure! Chipotle?
Dria: See you in 45 minutes?
Connor: Will do!
