12:56 p.m.

I sat with Brennen on the beach, watching Jake and Alyssa play in the water like kids.

"Wait, so how's this gonna work?" I asked, ruffling my eyebrows.

"We're gonna wait until dark, and scare her, sort of. You see that cave over there?" Brennen pointed to a large cave on the beach.

"Yeah?"

"Sam is gonna sit in there, tied up. He's gonna be like, 'help!', 'hello, anyone there?'. And no one else is gonna be around but her."

"How are we gonna escape like this?" I asked, still confused.

"You're gonna be out there swimming with her, then when you hear Sam, you're gonna swim to shore, and when she turns away, you're gonna run behind a bush or something and hide. I planned all this last night. Newcomers gotta learn." He laughed.

"What else?"

"I have a bunch of black cloaks in the back of the truck. Corey and Aaron are going to be in the cave, walking up behind Alyssa and scaring her, and then chasing her. When she gets back out of the cave, me a Jake are gonna be in cloaks and grab her." Brennen explained.

"Isn't that a little extreme?" I asked, worried.

"We're just gonna tie her up, and put her in the back of the truck. All the stuff will be out, so she won't know who's it is. Then, we're taking her to my house, since it's not that far."

"No. You're not gonna tie her up. That's insane. How about, I'll be in a cloak, and tickle her or something." I said.

6:00 p.m.

We had gone up to the boardwalk at about two to play some games. We ended up watching a movie in a theatre up there. Then, we walked back down to the beach and swam some more, as the sun was setting.

Colby had grabbed my arm and pulled me out to sea, swimming gracefully.

"Did you take swim in highschool?" I asked, smiling.

"Yeah, Sam and I both did."

I waded in the water, watching as Colby disappeared beneath the waves.

"Colby?" I said, looking around.

Suddenly, I felt an unknown force push me down into the water.

I plunged, trying to breathe. A second later, I emerged sputtering words.

I heard Colby laughing hysterically, clutching his stomach.

"Playful are we?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"I guess so." He answered pulling me close.

Soon enough, he was kissing me again. I still hadn't gotten used to this rush. I had my hands on this shoulders, running through his hair. His were on my waist, pulling us together.

Our make-out session lasted for about thirty seconds, when we broke away. Colby looked down at me, grinning. I blushed.

I felt like I owed that to her, considering what would happen next.

"We should play Marco Polo!" Colby said, smiling.

"Okay, okay. I'll be it first." I covered my eyes.
