🎶 "Cause you've been talkin' in your sleep, oh oh

And you've been messin' 'round on me

I thought I told you once before, ooh

I guess you wasn't listening" 🎶

I turn down the music in my car, making all of the girls groan. 

"Cammie!" I hear from the back. 

"Come on! Turn it up, that's the best part!" Brooklyn whines. 

I look in the rearview mirror to see her sticking her bottom lip out at me. Brooklyn is sitting next to her identical twin, Breanna. The only difference is their hair color. Brooklyn has dark brown hair while Breanna's ombres into blonde. They have tanned skin, dark brown eyes and huge smiles. 

Meghan, sitting in the passenger seat next to me, turns the music back up. The twins cheer in excitement. Meghan sticks her arm back out the window and lets the wind blow her hair around. 

🎶 "Cause you've been talkin' in your sleep, oh oh

And you've been messin' 'round on me" 🎶

I laugh it off, I love my friends. We all met in college here at UCLA. I look in the passenger seat where Meghan is. Her red hair is blowing in the wind and her green eyes are glowing from the sun. Her most noticeable feature is her freckles which cover her face and body. 

I look back to the third row to see Mary laughing. She is drop-dead gorgeous. Her chocolate brown hair is past her shoulders and loosely curled. She has the perfect brown eyes with a hint of gold. She has sculpted abs and strong arms because she's an amazing gymnast at UCLA.

Next to Mary is Justice. She is singing along to the music, loudly. Justice is our little firecracker. She is our little baby who is 19 while the rest of us are 20, our little sophomore. She weighs in at a whopping 95 pounds. She has tanned skin and extremely curly, black hair. Justice's sarcasm is her best trait. She has the perfect eyelashes and beautiful brown eyes. 

I pull the car into the parking spot.

"We're here!" I yell over the music. I shut the car off and open my door. I push my dirty blonde hair out of my face and pull my sundress down to ensure my butt is fully covered. The beach is a bit windy so I have to hold my dress down while I walk back to the trunk. 

This is my blue chevy equinox, it's the only car my friends and I can fit in so I take it everywhere. 

"Nooo! Why does school have to start on Monday?!? Ugh, I am so not ready to go back." Breanna complains while meeting me at the trunk.

Brooklyn follows closely behind her, 

"Don't remind me Bre, let me enjoy my last weekend of summer in peace!" she replies in a mocking tone.

"I'm not going back, you can't make me," Justice adds sarcastically while climbing out of the car.

"We are at the beach and we are gonna enjoy it!" I shout enthusiastically.

"Now come on grab some stuff!" I say as I reach in the trunk to grab the volleyball and umbrella. I love volleyball, I'm on the team with Meghan here at UCLA. 

Brooklyn grabs the cooler and Breanna grabs their towels and beach bag. Justice follows closely behind and watches as Meghan and Mary grab the chairs and other beach items. I close the trunk and we all start to walk towards the beach.
