Lexie had on her swimsuit with an elegant gold sundress on over it as she walked through the rest of the roads that remained before she woud be at the beach. She had on some earphones but they were loosly draped around her neck so she woud still hear if anyone spoke to her. As she continued to make her way she noticed a few of the houses were of people from her school, she coud ony wonder if they would be heading out to the beach on such a day. Perheps, if they did, she could meet up with them, maybe get to know a few a little better at the least.

Amanda let out a groan as her alarm clock woke her. she quickly turned it off and sat up in bed, looking around her room as if she's never seen the place before. she scratched her head and with a yawn stood up and headed toward her closet, pulled on some black skinny pants, and blue halter top that had a panda in the middle, and her camouflage All Star shoes. it was her first day working at hot Topic and she wasn't happy about how early she had to wake up. Amanda had never really been a morning person. She headed down the stairs and grabbed her car keys and phone, snatched a breakfast bar from the kitchen, and headed out the door to her trusty black truck. She sat in the drivers seat and threw her keys into the ignition, started the truck, and pulled put slowly. "i hope i have a good day today." she thought to herself. Nothing put Amanda in a bad mood, like a bad day. she whipped around a corner so fast her car lifted on its side. When its four wheels were back on the ground, she laughed, her heart was racing. she did that four more time until she decided to stop. what a rush. "that was so worth the risk." she said to her self as she pulled into the Hot Topic parking lot. when her car was all locked up she entered the store and took her place behind the cash register. "i wonder if anyone is going to be at the beach today?" she thought as the first customer walked in the door.

Aimee half skipped, half walked towards the beach. She could see it now! Her blonde hair that reached just below her elbows was in a loose poneytail, and she wore her white swimsuit with a short, strapless blue coverup. She had one ear bud in as she softly sang along to Smile by Avril Lavigne. A smile lit up her face as she saw Lexie, and she quickly walked over to her. "Hi!" Aim said happily standing on her toes for a second as she looked up at Lexie before rocking back on her heels. She was rather short, at only 5'1".

As an optimistic girl ran up to Lexie it hadn't took her long to figure out it was Aimee. Her face beamed and she gave her rather short friend a giant hug. "I was wondering when you would show up.!" She chucked and playfully stuck out her tongue. Soon she had realised she aso had earphones. She raised an eyebrow and asked out of curiosity, "Avril..? Like always.?" She loved to joke with this girl. She was just so optimistic like herself. As she waited for an answer she had realized they were comming up on sandy shores as they spoke.! Joyus, she took off her flip fops and with every step let her feet sink into the warm sand.

Aimee stuck her tongue back out at Lexie, matching her playful demeanor. "Don't make fun of my wonderful playlist!" She laughed. Lifting up one of her earbuds so lexie could hear what she was listening to, she put her head next to her Friend's headphones so she could hear what she was listening to. Smiling, she flipped off her white flats before slowly picking them up and then quickly spraying Lexie's shins with sand. Laughing happily, she ran towards the water before tuning so she was walking backwards. "Come oooon Lex!" Aim called to her friend, waving for her to follow.

Ambria awoke early... Well early for her. The clock read 12:00 noon. She stretched before grumbling about the sun being to bright. Trudging to her bathroom, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. A scrawny blonde chick, with bags under her eyes glared back at her. Combing her hair into a mohawk and spraying it with hair spray, she figured that she looked better. Walking into her walk in closet, she grabbed a short leather skirt, fishnet top, and bikini top. She pulled them on, along with knee high combat boots. She lit a cigarette as she walked down the stairs. She was greeted by Jonathan, the butler.
"Good morning, Ms. Ambria," he said with a wierd look on his face.
"Mornin' Johnnyboy. Tell Fay or whatever her name is to bring my car around. Also, Tell her if she leaves my driver's seat sweaty again, she will no longer have a job here," She said as she walked by him. She walked into the kitchen and snagged an apple out of the fruit bowl. Taking a large bite, she went to the front door. She was greeted by the pale, overly bubbly, Fay. Sitting down in the front seat of her Dodge Charger SRT, she sneered at Fay.
"Cheers, Fuckface," she said as she peeled out of the driveway to the nearest mall. After handing off her car to the valet, she headed to the Hot Topic. She walked in to find Amanda.
"Lemme see the 1/2 in tapers," Ambria said in a bored tone.

Amanda looked out the window just as two girl were meeting each other. they looked familiar but she couldn't tell from how far away she was. to many people went to the beach during the summer, and most of them are woman who take up space by just lying there in the sun. "they can just do that in their own backyard." Amanda thought to herself. on the other hand, she never really went to that part of the beach, so she couldn't complain.If no one she knew was there, she always went to the deserted part, the one hidden by huge rocks. it was a small space, only enough for about 5 people, and it wasn't anything to look at, but it was quiet. She could also cliff dive there without getting a lecture from some random parent. As she was day dreaming about her little area, some dude, walked in and approached the register. Amanda looked this guy up and down. she new him from somewhere, she just couldn't put her finger on who he was. she hadn't seen any of her old friends since last summer when her parents made her switch schools. "may i help you?" she asked. he just looked her up and down. "no, just looking." he replied as he turned and began to walk through the store. Amanda watched him closely, for some reason she knew she couldn't trust this dude. when he finally left the metal detectors didn't go off. She sighed, "i must of just been stereotyping again." just as he left Ambria walked in. "let me see 1/2 in tappers." she said. Amanda bent down and unlocked the cabinet and brought out he newest 1/2tapers they had and spread them across the table "here you go Ambria. the newest tapers we got, all 1/2" she new it was going to take a while for Ambria to chose so she went back into half day dreaming half alert mode. "i'll take this one." the sodden speaking snapped Amanda back to reality. "that will be 10 bucks please." she handed me the money and grabbed the taper before admiring her new buy.

It'd taken CJ a while to leave his house. It wasn't because he'd spent most of the morning in bed; his insomnia typically prevented him from doing such a thing. Rather, he couldn't bring himself to choose where he should begin his day. After he'd pulled his thin curtains back, Skyarch Beach was an obvious option. He had a view from his home of the entire area, but disregarded thinking twice about those who were already there. He figured he'd take a different path today. The beach could wait until later. He had more important things on his mind.
Cooper's well-worn white wifebeater and swimming trunks oddly seemed to match. He shook strands of his hair with his hand, trying his best to seem presentable without doing too much work. With his appearance worked out, he reached for his keys. He drove through the streets slowly, and it wasn't long before there was a cigarette between his off-pink lips.
After pulling up to his destination in his quite dirty Chevrolet Lanos, he parked - rather improperly - and entered the store.
"Hello, little lady," he winked at the very familiar cashier. Cooper had always had quite a connection with Amanda Cry since they'd met, but it was mostly forgotten about in public places. After all, it was his reputation at stake. And that seemed to be everything for him. "Nice place you got here," he said sarcastically, glancing around the Hot Topic chain store before hopping up on the counter where she stood. "When do you get off?" he grinned after a long moment, "...Of work, I mean. I wanna go to the beach. But I'm 'fwaid to go all bwy my lonesome." He made a puppy-like face at her and batted his eyes playfully. He ignored the customer in the store, which is something he rarely did.

Ambria saw CJ enter the store and start to flirt with Amanda.
"You're pathetic CJ," she said with a smirk and a wink. She continued looking at the jewelry, the smile gone from her face. She pulled out a piece of gum and stuck it in between her teeth. The minty flavor washed over her taste buds. She pulled out her cell phone. There was a text from one of the guys she'd met at the club the night before.
Hey Kitten, what's happenin? She scoffed and rolled her eyes.
Kitten? More like fuck off. She had been sweet and nice to him the night before. Fucking Kitten? She went over to the lingerie and looked at a pair of thigh highs with bows. Her phone rang. "I saw your mommy" by suicidal tendencies rang loudly. She answered it.
"Ambria, darling, you're father and I were wondering if you would like to go to lunch with us," her mother spoke on the other line.
"Sorry, momsy, I'm busy right now," Ambria responded, "Let's do dinner instead."
"Alright, We'll have reservation at 6:30 at Hitachi, that darling japanese restaurant on County Road."
"Kay. Bye mom." She hung up the phone and left the Hot Topic.

Amanda stared up at cooper. "i get off around 2 or 3, Cj, you'll just have to wait." she said smiling back. Cj's puppy face had never really worked on her. but it still had a little of a effect, she could never fully say no. there was always a "fine, but on one condition" type answer that she gave. he had always accomplished in making her heart race though, and she loved that. that feeling you get when you do something dangerous and survive, she was addicted to that. she was never the safe type and Cj new that. that's why Amanda always had to say yes to him. just for the chance of doing something exciting. she though of them as friends. friends who like the same kinda thing. they had met one time when Amanda was about to jump her favorite cliff. when he asked what she was doing, Amanda simply replied, "Cliff Diving." and jumped. she had no idea what his reaction was because she was to focused on her landing. but when she swam to the shore of her little private area he was standing there waiting for her. and the rest is history. Cj and Ambria are the only ones how know of her secret beach, and she intends to keep it the way.

Cooper grinned over at Ambria, mouthing a playful "fuck you," taking only a quite glance at her before turning his attention back to Amanda. He continued his somehow adoring look as he put his hand over his heart. "But, Mandy...," he groaned, furrowing his eyebrows and beginning to protest. "It's not like anyone's gonna come through here anyway."
After a moment of sitting in pure silence, his white teeth were visible through a flashy smile. He jumped off the counter, circling a rack of accessories and stopping at the counter again. "Fine. I'll go," he slammed his hands on the surface and leaned over, almost pressed his lips to the corner of her mouth, but teasingly pulled away. "Just hurry up. I wanna start some trouble."
With those words, CJ briskly left the apparel store. Taking a long breath of air into his lungs once he was outside, he began running toward the beach - being as though it was extremely close to their strip. And without even stopping beforehand, his feet met the water. He purposely fell into the vast volume of ocean, holding his breath has he swam further and further down. He came up once his lungs were letting out air involuntarily, floating up slowly to the surface. He waded in the water for a few moments, remaining silent and gazing toward the shore.

Amanda sighed. "he has no idea how badly I'd like to be out there right now." she said quietly to herself. all she had to do was wait one more hour and she was out if there. Amanda love going a working at Hot Topic, but having to get up at 9 in the morning and wait 5 hours till the clock struck two and she could go have some fun was tiring. you never know how many people actually go to Hot topic till you work there, there's either barley anyone their, or a mob of people. Amanda fiddled with here pen and waited. she tried daydreaming but that only killed 20 minutes, and the store was still empty. finally after about 30 minute of starring off into space, her boss told she could leave. She quickly ran to her truck, got in, changed into her bathing suit, and ran for the shore, Stopping just as her feet hit the water, turning,and running toward her Secret beach. there was no way she was going to wait for the mod of people to show up, before going into hiding. when she was there she couldn't help herself, she climbed to the top of her favorite cliff and took a dive. rush when she hit the water, made her whole body tingle. when she reached the shore, she laid down to catch her breath, before she sat up and saw cooper swimming towards her.

(Double posted by accident, sorry)

Cooper grinned as he saw Amanda leave the store. She'd be heading over toward his direction soon. She was one of the only people that he could actually hang out with. He didn't really like anyone else, even as a friend. He straightened his back out while still in the water. He knew exactly where she was going, and figured he'd meet her there. Taking his sweet time, he went over and underwater while swimming - slowly - toward her 'spot'. It was hers after all, in a sense. He almost laughed as he saw her body leave the earth, fall through the air, and meet the water with a splash. It all seemed so familiar. Once he'd made it close enough to land, he crawled up onto it and laid on his back. He wasn't out of breath, but took in a long inhale as if he was.
"Done already?" he said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, referring to her shift at Hot Topic. CJ sighed, looking over toward the opposite end of the shore. "Was I right? No one came by?" he grinned, slightly in self-satisfaction.

Aimee stood on her toes as she saw Cooper and Amanda. Taking off her coverup and lying it down in the sand next to her shoes, she walked along the beach and towards the two. She didn't get to close to them, not wanting to bother them if they didn't want to be bothered. Very slowly she dipped her feet in the water and left the waves come up, almost to her knees. Aim wasn't ready to go all the was in the water just yet, and for now just her legs were enough. Sighing, she let her long blonde hair out of the ponytail it had been in and let it hand down, almost covering her whole back. Other then Lexie and the other two, nobody was really here. That she knew, at least.

Amanda Laughed. "well I'm out here aren't i?" she said sitting next to him. "yes, no ones here, but i'm not going to wait for anyone to arrive." she replied. Her little area allowed her to do anything she wanted with out getting starred at with disapproving eyes. She starred up at the cliffs eagerly. "wanna take a dive with me before you tell me your plan for destruction?" she asked with a grin spreading across her face, hoping he would say yes and try it for once. Amanda always asked Cooper if he wanted to cliff dive and he never really accepted the offer. She didn't blame him though. not a lot of people find cliff diving a fun thing to do. she laid down and awaited his answer, her body still tingling from her current dive.

"Yoooo, little sister!" A bulky buff boy came staggering into Olive's room. His massive hand ruffled Olive's hair, leaving it a mess of frizz and tangles. Olive's nose stung with the stench of hard liquor. "You should really sober up before you go partying again, Shawn." Olive sighed as she brushed out her messy blonde hair. "Ah..ahaha. You're funny." Shawn smirked and walked over to Olive's bed. "How stable do you think these legs are?" "Shawn," Olive glanced at him. "Whatever you do in my bed tonight, at least wash the sheets when you're done." "You got it, A-cups." Olive was used to the gross living styles of her 5 brothers, and didn't expect them to change their ways. "You're sure you don't wanna stay?" Shawn asked, stepping out of the room. When Olive didn't answer, he crossed his arms and sighed. "Whatever you're looking for, aint out there, Oli. There are no such thing as the paranormal." Olive sighed and set down her brush. "Balls, Shawn. That's not even what I'm doing tonight. And.. there is too such thing." "Whatever kiddo," Shawn put his fist out and Olive pounded it. "Gonna be a long party, so come back if you want." Olive loved her brothers, but she couldn't socialize correctly to save her life. Nor was she a fan of alcohol.

Buttoning her polka-dot corset, Olive stepped out of the house and kicked her boot over the side of her blue moped, before taking off towards the beach.

Squinting just a bit as the harsh sun beat down on her, Jordan ran. She skid through the rough, hot sand on her knees yanking her cupped hands upward, hitting the volleyball. It soared over the net once more and as a tall boy from school dove for it he missed, yelling out in defeat. "Yes!!" Jordan shouted, jumping up and throwing her arms into the air. "Victory! In your face, Hugh's!" she cheered, calling the guy by his last name as she hopped around, doing a weird little victory dance just to mess with the poor dude. He glowered at her from the other side of the net, "Jordan Smithdale, I swear if you weren't hot I would never play a sport with you again!" he growled causing Jordan to roll her eyes. She had been down on the beach for about a hour now, waiting for her little buddy Zealand. While she waited Jackson Hugh came up to her and challenged her to a one-on-one volleyball match. She had beat him twice in the last thirty minutes. Her day, so far, had consisted of her waking up, eating a huge breakfast at four in the morning, jogging to the gym, working out for about a hour to keep up her lean, toned body(Not muscular however) she then ran back home, showered, dressed in her swim wear with a tee shirt and shorts over the swim attire, then hit the beach. She didn't work today, which she was thankful for. "Hey Jordan, why won't you go out with me, huh? I'm hot!"
Jackson yanked her from her thoughts, green eyes glaring in his direction. "Jackson, I beat you up in fifth grade, don't make me do it again." she stated simply, turning around and walking off slowly. She made her way towards her Nike shorts and white tee, pulling them back on when a voice was heard.

"Jordan! Jordan! I'm s-so sorry I-I-I'm late! I go-got caught up a-at wor-work!" Stuttering, embarrassed sounding. Definitely Zealand. Jordan turned around as she began re-pulling her hair up. "No worries, my friend, just got done playing volleyball." she informed the red-faced peer of her's. She went to school with Zealand, had since the third grade when he moved into town. He was always considered a nerd because he played video games and was so so soo smart. Jordan befriended him however, because unlike most of the people at school, she has a heart. She found that he was pretty cool though, and she actually got him to start working out. Jor didn't tell him, but she was trying to get him to looking better to find him a date. She had ordered him contacts that were coming in the mail actually. Her plan was working pretty good, if you asked her.

"O-oh," Zealand said softly, holding a book in his right, large hand. "You brought a book to the beach?!" she groaned, throwing her hands into the air, shaking her head. "It's a go-good book!" Zealand defended, blue eyes watching Jordan curiously. He couldn't talk to girls well at all, it took him over a week to make sentences that Jor could actually understand.

Lucas slipped on his green and black swim trunks and raced towards the door. "I'm going to the beach!" He yelled as he ran outside to his beat up 69 chevy. He cranked up the radio and raced to Skyarch Beach. As he pulled into the parking lot he looked around to see how many girls there were. "I have to be on my game today." He thought to himself, looking for his first victim. He grabbed the old beat up football from his truck bed and slipped off his white tank top. Lucas looked up and down the beach before hearing someone shout "Yes!" He watched as a girl from his school danced in the hot sand. She looked incredibly familiar but for some reason he couldn't remember her name. He then watched as Zealand, the nerd, walked up and talked to her. He chuckled thinking of the perfect way to talk to the girl. He gripped the football tight and pulled his arm back. "HEY NERD BOY!" He shouted as he threw the football and it spiraled perfectly aimed towards Zealand's head.

Jordan had smirked at Zealand, his eyes becoming wide as she came forward, trying to snatch the book from his hands. "St-stop, Jordan!" he yelped, stumbling backwards. "Give me the book!" she laughed, stepping forward once more as she reached for the thick, black book again. That's when she heard it. "HEY NERD BOY!" Her jaw clenched and Zealand completely froze in place as he looked over, spotting a worn football aimed for his head, coming right at him. The book slipped from his hands and hit the hot sand as he threw his hands up and screamed out in fear. Jordan too had spotted this football, her head snapping to the side, emerald green eyes hard. In a fluid movement she stepped in front of Zealand, the football bringing a small gust of wind as it smacked into the palms of her hands. She caught it rather easily. Hearing Z exhale slowly behind her, she kept her sinister gaze on the boy who threw the ball. Lucas. Quarterback of the school's football team. Aka..Meat-head. "Hey, jerk! He has a name!!" Jordan called and without hardly moving her arm came back then snapped forward, the football flying from her hands in a spiral towards Lucas's chest.. Fast. She wanted it to hit him so bad.. She wanted it to hurt him.
"T-Thanks, Jo-Jor." Zealand whispered as she stepped back beside him. "Anytime, Zealand." she sighed, still watching the pompous jock.

The humming of Olive's moped filled the air as she sped up. No one was in sight, so what the hell? She began to think about her brother. He was a mess. But I guess that's what happens when you're the most popular person in every graduating class since kindergarten. Olive let out a sigh. Maybe if she had a sister, she wouldn't be such a freak. The wind whipped past Olive's cheeks, pulling her long blonde hair back and revealing the purple strands underneath. "Shit... people." Olive gasped to herself, noticing some teens a ways away. Slowing her bike down, she stared straight ahead. That was, until she saw something flying at her from the corner of her eye. Squeaking, Olive swerved her bike into the sand. A hard mound sent the bike into the air, and it landed face first in a the sun-baked sand. The impact sent Olive forward in a gust of sand. The sand quickly settled, and Olive stood up, coughing out dust. She staggered over to the two teens a few feet away, and removed her helmet, revealing a black beany hat with cat ears. "Sup?" She coughed as she wiped the sand from her skirt.

Lucas smiled as the football spiraled forward heading straight for the boys chest. As Zealand screamed in fear the girl stepped in front and caught the ball easily. She glared daggers at him. That is when he remembered her name, Jordan. "Hey, jerk! He has a name!!" She yelled as she rocketed the football back. Lucas was caught off guard, and barely had time to put his hands up. Still the end of the football slammed into the center of his chest. His breath was knocked out of him, but he still tryed to play it cool, despite the large red mark on his toned chest. "I've got a name too you know!" He called back to Jordan after he had caught his breath. "Maybe you don't remember, but my name is Luke, I'm the quarterback at our school!" He shouted as he walked towards the two. Lucas watched as a blonde girl flew forward face first into the sand. "Sup?" She said as she cleaned the sand off herself. Lucas held back his laugh as he continued toward Jordan. "So, what's your name nerd?" He asked Zealand with a smirk. He knew the answer already. But he liked pissing Jordan off. She was hot, and even hotter when she was mad.

Jordan was satisfied when she saw how the football hit his chest, knew it had knocked the breath from him, knew it left a mark. With a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth she turned to high-five Zealand who was wide-eyed, yet absentmindedly high-fived her back. "You're amazing.." he whispered, causing her to laugh pretty loud, even though her laugh was loud in general, it was one of those contagious things that got Z to laughing too. However, that laughing was cut short when the meat-head began talking. "I've got a name too you know!" 'A name that I don't care about..' she thought, green eyes stones once more as he walked towards Zealand and herself. Zealand took a step back and Jordan took one in front of him, like a protective stance which was funny because Zealand was six feet tall and Jor was only five foot five inches. "Maybe you don't remember, but my name is Luke, I'm the quarterback at our school!" She rolled her eyes, "I know who you are, meat-head." she replied, eyeing the girl who fell face-first in the sand. Zealand immediately went towards her, but paused a second. "And is you being the quarterback suppose to impress me?"
"So, what's your name nerd?" Jordan's blood began to boil as Lucas said that, Zealand just shrinking back in fear. 'Why is he afraid of this jerk-off?' she thought, stepping forward and poking Luke hard in the chest, right where the football had hit him. "His name is Zealand, and you better start calling him that because if you don't..." Jordan paused, her slim, tanned hands balling into fist. "I swear to God you won't like me, Peterson.." Her tone was a bit fierce, how it usually was when she was mad. However, she hated conceited, rude people who picked on the weak, and that was Lucas Peterson to a T.

As Jordan handled Luke Zealand walked over to the blonde who fell slowly. "Are yo-you alri-alright?" he stuttered, looking down a little embarrassed. His socializing skills equaled horrible.

Olive was mourning over a hole in her leggings when Zealand approached. "No! I'm terrible!" She cried dramatically, throwing herself back in the sand. "These leggings were so cuuuteee." She sobbed, rolling around in the sand. Blinking up at Zealand as she lay in the sand, Olive pointed at him. "Who are you?" Without waiting for an answer, she pointing at the boy arguing with the tan girl. "And who's that asshole?" She said the asshole part exceptionally loud, hoping the huge kid would hear her.

Lucas had done exactly what he wanted to do. He pissed Jordan off. "His name is Zealand, and you better start calling him that because if you don't..." Jordan said as she poked him in the exact spot the football had slammed into his chest. "I swear to God you won't like me, Peterson.." Jordan's voice was incredibly angry. Lucas just chuckled. "What makes you think I like you?" Lucas said with his trademark smirk, looking down at Jordan. His bright blue eyes caught sight of her beautiful emerald eyes, and he felt his confidence shrink and his smirk disappear. He quickly looked away feeling the slightest blush creep onto his cheeks. He shook his head 'Get your game face on Luke, it's summer time, that means you get as many girls as you can' he thought to himself. "It was nice arguing with you, but if you will excuse me I see a girl in a bikini who looks quite lonely." Lucas said as he jogged towards the random girl. He had never seen her, nor did he find her particularly attractive but he figured it was better then nothing. Lucas flirted with her, constantly taking secret glances at Jordan. "You know, you're really cute." The girl said to him as she put her arms around his neck. Lucas sighed. "Shoot, I gotta go to work, maybe I'll see you around." He lied as he slipped out of her arms and bolted into his truck. He jammed the keys into his car and drove home, the opposite way of the mall. He hoped the girl had never seen him at work he didn't want her to know he was skipping out on a possible hook up. He just wasn't himself today.
