"Mom." I grumbled, tired of the blazing heat on my skin.

She looked over at me from the drivers seat, a smile on her lips. She was dripping with sweat, making me grimace.

"What? It's hot!" She replied, wiping her forehead with the back of her hand.

"Exactly."

We had just moved to North Carolina, a change that we hadn't anticipated. My mom had gotten a new job. One that would finally be able to pay the bills.

I didn't mind of course, but moving also meant moving to a different school. New classes, new teachers, and new people.

"(Y/n)." My mom spoke softly, noticing my quiet state. "This is going to be great. We really needed this move, and it's going to be amazing! I promise you'll love it here."

She forgot to mention that there was two social classes as well. The rich and the poor. Pogues and the Kooks.

Let's just say I had already done my research.

I knew right away that we would be considered as Pogues, which I thought was absolute nonsense. Why the hell should it matter the amount we get paid?

It's bull shit!

We finally pulled into a quiet road, small homes lining the street.

The first thing I noticed was the salt water instead of your normal grass backyard. This immediately brought a smile to my face, an itch of excitement in my bones.

"No way!" I laughed. "We have a beach as our backyard?"

"I was keeping it as a surprise." My mom winked.

She pulled up on the driveway of a white house, it's quaint outdoor decor winning over my heart at once.

I immediately got out of the car, my eyes wide in anticipation.

"I'm gonna go inside and order us some food." My mom spoke, knowing that she was way too hungry to unpack just yet. "Go explore, honey."

I nodded, making my way around the house. Thank God I chose to wear a bathing suit under my clothes.

The salty smell of the ocean immediately hit my nose. The feeling of the soft sand under my feet making me sigh in content. It was beautiful, much better than the dull eyesore of the city life.

I continued walking closer to the water, the waves seeming to jump towards me with excitement.

"You new here?" A voice called out, making me almost slip into the depths of the ocean.

I turned my head to see a boy around my age. He was shirtless with a surf board. I could see his brown curls gently moving in the wind from here.

"Uh, yeah!" I spoke back, awkwardly giving him a smile.

He jogged over to me, somehow looking as if he just walked out of a surfer magazine. I stood there, frozen in place.

"I'm John B." He said, running a hand through his damp curls. "What's your name?"

"(Y/n)."

An awkward silence settled over us. The only sound was the waves crashing together, and the soft wind.

"Sorry if I'm being kind of stand-offish." I apologized, hoping that he would at least be my first friend here. "I'm not usually like this, I promise."

"Oh I believe it." He grinned knowingly.

John B placed his surf board onto the sand, and stood up with a large grin. He was a bit closer now, and I immediately looked away, my hair falling in wisps off my shoulder.

"Do you want to swim?"

"Sure." I beamed, tucking my hair out of my face.

He walked into the water and immediately dove in. Hastily, I threw off my shorts and shirt, saving me from an uncomfortable scene.

The water was warm, feeling nice compared to the beating heat of the sun. I smiled as I swam deeper, now only a few feet from John B.

"Nice, right?"

I nodded, noticing how the sun light did a great job of making him appear 10x more handsome.

John B seemed to be at a loss for words as well, his brown eyes gazing at me softly. I stifled a groan, hoping I didn't look like a rat.

"Wow..." He whispered to himself. I barely heard him, the lively water loud enough to drown any words out.

"What?" I asked.

His eyes widened, but he then covered up what seemed like embarrassment, with a lopsided grin.

"Your just really, really pretty."

And with that, he tackled me into the water.
