I fist bump Tom as I pass him in the hallway. "Hey dude!" I shouted at him. "Any news?"

"Yeah! Hot new chick in the room across from you," he said stopping to talk to me.

"Dude you're only fourteen, all these girls are too old for you here."

"Maybe I like them older."

"That's wrong, plus I thought you liked that Lucy girl?" I asked him. I knew he's been interested in her for years but he's never made a move.

"Yeah I do but Luce's my best friend. I don't want to ruin our relationship, plus it would be awkward for our parents."

"I understand man. Anyway I'd better go and get ready to go out, there's a party at the beach tonight."

"Have fun!" he called running down the hall away from me.

Later that night I meet everyone on the beach, the music is already pumping and everyone is drinking. I join my group of friends; Max, Jake and Milo. Jake hands be a beer straight away and I chug it down quickly. That felt so good.

Soon I'm onto my fourth. I'm sitting by the fire listening to everyone chat and laugh. The music in the background fits the atmosphere, everything seems perfect but it’s not. It never really will be. I just feel out of place, I have since this summer. I met someone this summer and she changed me, she inspired me to do new things and follow my own dreams, not anyone else's. I didn't even think of my girlfriend once the whole time.

The weirdest thing is that I miss the girl I dated this summer, I think about her all the time. I know it’s wrong I have a girlfriend and all, I just wish I didn’t. The girl this summer blew my world apart, but yet I have this feeling that I might not see her again. I knew from the moment I met her we’d only be a summer fling, it’s what we both wanted. But then why do I feel like this now, wanting her back in my arms instead of the girl I’ve been with for the last year.

My summer girl is completely and oppositely different from my girlfriend and that was one of the things that drew me to her. She was different from all the other girls I dated. I’m just glad it was her that I spent the summer with her, sex with her was different than sex with anyone else. It was more passionate and meaningful, it didn't feel like I was using her. It felt perfect, the best.

I haven’t even told my girlfriend about my summer girl, I know she would hate me if she found out. That’s why I had to break contact with my summer girl. I’ll never forget her. She was the sun in the rain.

“Ollie! Stop bloody daydreaming and get over here,” Alyssa, my girlfriend shouted at me from across the beach. “Sometimes I don’t understand why I go out with you; you’re always stuck in your head these days.”

“Sorry I’ve been thinking about stuff recently… for next year I mean, I’m actually thinking of going to uni now.” I recently decided this, I've been thinking things through for next year, and I realize that I have always wanted to go to uni. I should just take the opportunity now while it’s still available. I am passionate about geography and the world, and surprisingly I want to become a teacher. First I want to do a degree in geography and then get my teaching degree. I want to teach high school because they have the most challenging and passionate students.

“Oh right why are you thinking of going now? Last year you didn’t care if you went or not.”

“I met someone this summer and they kind of inspired me to do what I love instead of what people expect me to do. I was thinking about doing geography. I was travelling a lot this summer and now I really feel the need to be a geography teacher.”

“Okay that’s good to know. What else did you do this summer?” she asked me looking at me curiously, I know she's wondering, haven't told her anything about it.

I shrugged my shoulders. “Oh you now stuff nothing too important, hung out with the guys mostly, when they weren’t with their girls.” My summer girl was the most important thing that summer I just wish I’d broken up with Alyssa properly instead of taking that stupid break, I could still be with my summer girl right now. I could be lying in her arms and everything would be perfect in my mind. I just wish she was here.

"Cool. So I'm staying with you tonight right?" she asked me outright.

"Yeah you are," I said pecking her on the lips quickly. "How long has it been since we had a night together?"

"I don't know. I guess before the summer," she said pulling me in deeper. "Lets go!"

We head up to my bedroom kissing every step of the way. We back into my bedroom and the rest of the night is history.
