I pull up to a small, almost shack on the beach in my white, and beat up Volkswagen buggie. I grab the boxes from the back of my car along with the keys to the house, trying to balance everything while opening the door at the same time, ending with me dropping almost all my boxes on my feet. My room is placed at the back of the house and I have a gorgeous view of the ocean and beach right through the French doors. There is a wooden fence in place to give me "privacy" from the many people on the public beach in front of my new home. I make a mental note to get some curtains for my beautiful French doors cause I don't need to be giving the beach-goers a show. I place my phone on the charger and turn on my playlists with some Bob Marley and Wiz Khalifa. I dig through my suitcase and pull out a cropped grey t-shirt top and some black distressed high waisted shorts. I throw on my sunflower Vans, grab my Ray Ban aviators, phone, keys, some money and head out to the grocery store.

**After the grocery store**

I unloaded all of my groceries and got them packed away before I dug through a box to find my long board and head to the skate park I saw on the way to the grocery store. On the way I listened to my favorite song right now KK by Wiz Khalifa. After arriving I continue to listen to music as I go up and down the ramps until I had a nasty wipeout. My board flew out from under me, my phone flew in a different direction and my head slammed against the ramp. When I opened my eyes I saw a palm tree swaying slightly in the distance. I tried to sit up but two strong hands held my shoulders down and a voice echoed, "Don't sit up too fast, you took a really hard fall."

As I slowly sit up, I grab the random person's arm for stability and am greeted by pounding and spinning in my head. After my vision clears I look around to see that everyone at the skate park is staring at me and my face flushes with embarrassment. My brown eyes meet with another pair of brown eyes filled with concern. As we make eye contact he says, "I'm gonna pick you up and sit you down in the back of our car so I can bandage you head. Is that okay?" I could only nod because my eyes were raking his body. He had curly brown hair that extended slightly from his head, strong arms with tattoos scattered across them and his face was adorned with some stubble. I have to say he was pretty fucking hot. He picked me up bridal style and the touch of his hands to my skin burned in a good way if that makes any sense at all. He set me down, grabbed a first aid kit and kneeled between my legs. At first I was a little surprised at why he did this but I realized it gave him better access to my face. After cleaning and bandaging my wound he said, "By the way I'm Nate but my friends call me Skate."

"I'm Bay. Thanks so much for helping me out," I giggled, "I'm not very coordinated."

"It's okay, we all have those bad falls every once in a while. Are you new around here cause I know I would've remembered you?"

I blushed and then said, "Ya I just moved into a little shack not to far from here and I'm going to University of California."

"Well you should probably get home now. We can give you a ride."

"We?"

"Oh yea I have to introduce you to my friends. Johnson, Gilinsky, Sam get over here."

The one he called Johnson had blond hair and was super funny. Gilinsky looked like a total fuckboy but I he was really polite and Sam looked like he could be a male model. After indtroducing us Skate asked again, "Do you need a ride home?"

Not wanting to give up my address and get into a car with some guys I just met I said, "No thanks but if I walk home the fresh air will be good for my head."

"Alright but here's my number," Skate said as he wrote on my arm, "If you need anything, anything at all shoot me a text."

"Will do," I said as the boys hopped into the car and drove away.
