"Ruel?" I look at his face. "HAHAHA RUEL! YOUR EYES ARE OPEN BUT YOUR EYEBALLS ARE NO WHERE TO BE SEEN!" I jolt up. "Huh? Oh oh I'm up, i'm up."
"Sooo. Coco insists we go to this party. She's going too. I was helping her get ready." Ruel looks flustered. "W-whaat?" "Ruel. We're going to a beach party. Coco says we can just swim by ourselves or something." "I've never gone to a party", Ruel mutters. "Same. So we are braking that today and together!...but we aren't really going to participate." "Okay then. What time?" "In like 20mins." "Okay". "I'm going to get changed at home. Bye!" "Bye!"
I don't know what to wear. I've never been to a party! I guess there's only one person to call right now.
"Hii Coco!" "Hey! What's up?" "I don't know what to wear. It's my first party." Coco giggles. "What about that white cottage core dress you have?" "This one?" I hold up a dress from my closet.

"Yeah! Make sure to wear a swimsuit underneath though! I can bring you a towel." "Thanks Coco! See you in ten", I hang up and hurry. I quickly change into my favourite swimsuit and then slip into my dress.
It's getting dark already. Oh shoot. I forgot to ask my parents.
"hey mum...dad. i forgot to ask earlier. can I attend this beach party? coco insists that I come", I say, quiet as a mouse. They just stare at the ground with furrowed brows. Oh god. They look at each other and Dad says, "Just be back by 12. This is your first party. It's a chance for you to make friends. You can go but don't have too much fun. Also, know your limits on alcohol." I can't believe they said yes. Wow. That's new. "THANK YOU", I run upstairs and put on waterproof mascara. Then I run back down and to Ruel's house.
I knock and Ruel opens the door.

He's wearing a knit button up and swim shorts.
"Heyy!" Ruel welcomes me back in. "Oh my gosh. I think this is the first time I've seen you in a dress." "Oh shut up!" I lightly hit Ruel in the shoulder.
"Oh my gosh heyy", Coco approaches us. "Hii!" "Okay lets go!" Coco leads us outside and there's an Uber.
We arrive at a gated house. I thought this is a beach party. "We are here", Coco says excitedly. We all say thank you as we get out of the Uber.
Coco presses a button on the gate. Then she says some stuff and then the gate opens. We walk up to the door way. It's wide open. We walk in and walk straight. A big window with a beach view appears. What. A private beach?! Omg. Coco leads us down a staircase.

It's the first time I've seen Hina in a dress. It shouldn't be a big deal but...it kind of makes me blush!
Hina looks amazed as Coco takes us down to Hugo's family's private beach. Hugo is Coco's friend. Though I have a feeling they're more than that.
"You guys can chill out and meet some people or isolate yourselves and swim over there", she points to a spot behind me. "Also, no drinking!" Right. I don't know how long this party will be but I'm kind of excited. Excited to spend some more time with Hina. I don't fully know her yet. "What do you want to do?" I break the silence after Coco leaves us. "Uhh. Whatever you want to do", Hina laughs. Aww why does she have to put it on me. "Umm well do you want to go for a swim?" "Yeah!"
HINA
We walk down closer to the water. The water is clear and orange from the sunset. The partying hasn't started yet. I look behind as I keep walking. Coco and a large group of people are just sitting, talking and laughing. As I turn my head around, Ruel points to a spot on the sand. "There?" "Yeah." We place down our towels and bags. I'm kind of afraid to take this dress off. It'a my safe place. But I can't go in the water with it.
I look towards Ruel and he's already taking his shirt off. :,( I don't like showing my body.
Whatever. My stupid pouty mindset is starting to take over again. I take off my dress and sprint into the water...COLD. jeez. I really thought didn't I. I thought it'd be that easy. I hear Ruel giggling behind me. "Ohh, stop it won't you", I say while also giggling. "You were like, "I'm going to make it aand...COLD"", he says while imitating me. Omg I didn't know I said "COLD" out loud oops.
"Okay well I'm going to just jump in. Holy crap." His body shivers as he slowly walks in. Really? He said he'd jump in lmao. My legs start to warm up under the water. Though my top is cold. Maybe it's better to get it over with. While Ruel is crawling deeper and deeper, I take a big jump in. I splash Ruel and he whines. "Addyyy!" "You wouldn't jump in so I splashed u instead", I wink. "You!"
After 3 minutes or so of warming up, the sun is almost gone. Ruel and I make eye contact for 0.2 seconds and quickly look towards the sun.

His ever-changing coloured eyes switch to a warm greenish-brown. Ruel's now-long hair sleeks back into a shiny coat. I've never been so close to a boy until I met Ruel. I always thought that boys and girls could never get along as friends. But Ruel proved that wrong. He's helped me countless of times. Ruel is the first friend to stand up for me except for Barleen. Gosh, I really have to FaceTime her soon. It's been a couple of days and that's a long time for us. I've had so many other friends in my life but they all just come and go. That's not the case with Ruel though. I feel that we are going to become close friends.
