I wake up to Lezi singing One Love by Bob Marley. Lezi is all ready, in her two piece mint bathing suit with grey waterproof shorts and a fish net cardigan covering her. She's spinning around slowly, her hair waving and her eyes covered by round John Lennon like glasses. She sees that I'm awake and sings louder. I get up and go to the bathroom. I take a quick shower and put on my one piece dark green bathing suit. I put waterproof foundation on my slits. I put my hair in a high ponytail then wash my teeth. I get out of the bathroom with a huge smile. Still spinning she says

Lezi:morning sunshine, someone looks sparkly and new

Gracie:yeah I feel nice

Lezi:that's great, you ready for the midgets

Gracie:I gotta be

Lezi:you're gonna have fun

I get my hobo bag and pack my towel, sunscreen, clothes, whistle, papers and strangely Justin's jacket. Lezi comes over and grabs her already packed bag

Gracie:why do you think that?

Lezi:because your buddy Justin is in your group

Gracie:yeah he's nice

I smile really wide looking at my wrists. She goes outside and I follow her.

Gracie:wait so who's in your group?

Lezi:you know that kid Ryan, some belieber, Bran, and another belieber.

Gracie:Bran?

We get to the tiki and see a guy with dark green eyes, blonde wavy hair that sticks up like Justin's, a brown leather jacket with no shirt, and yellow beach shorts. He waves over at us and Lezi says

Lezi:him

She runs to him and jumps on him, he catches her, making out while her legs and arms are wrapped around him. I watch them with my arms crossed laughing at how confused I am. I press my arms on my chest and react to the pain by looking at my arms quickly then look up at Lezi and Bran. Someone with a familiar smell comes beside me and crosses their arms as well, looking at the same direction I am. I don't look to see who it is because I already know well.

Gracie:hey Justin.

Justin:hey nice jacket you got there.

He points at his jacket's sleeve hanging out of my bag.

I look at him to see where he's looking. He's looking at the distance and now at me.

Gracie:yeah my jacket.

I leave the sleeve hanging out with my arms still crossed on my chest. Justin's hands are on his hips.

Justin:you're not gonna hide it in your bag?

Gracie:why would I? It's my jacket.

Justin:well it was mine.

Gracie:exactly was, not is. So back off

Justin puts his hands up in alarm and raises his eyebrows

Justin:woah calm down shawty, I'm just saying I mean you wouldn't want people knowing you're a belieber, do you?

His hands are crossed over his chest again with a satisfied face on. I look at him

Gracie:its my jacket, not yours and I am not a belieber.

Justin:yet, not a belieber, yet.

Gracie:believe it Bieber.

Justin cuffs a hand on his ear and gets closer to me
