"What the hell was that Jessica!?" I scream at my best friend who is now sitting on the single bed holder her things tightly against her chest.

"I don't know," she answers "there isn't anything there anyway. Just a look" she begins taking her jacket off and putting it aside, not even bothering to look at me.

"That didn't seem like just a look," kina states with a knowing smirk, throwing her blonde hair over her shoulder as sassy as she could, to make a statement of course.

"There was much more it seemed. I mean I know you don't know him, he's a horrible guy, but there was something there," Denise explains, smiling like a mad man, "it could be something such as 'love at first sight' is what they call it."

Me and Jessica look horrified at her small statement.

"There's no way Jessica could be in love with my brother! That's horrible! He hates me and all my friends" I yell at them all, mostly at Jessica of course.

Kina and Denise just smile, while Jessica wears a frown on her face

"Well for one, it isn't love at first sight, I would've known, felt it," she urges on "but it just can't be, this is not whom I imagined it would be. I don't, can't, love the brother of my best friend, let alone the fact that he absolutely hate her guts, and ours at the moment. it cannot be him, and that's final," she tells us, throwing her hands up in the air, so we try to understand what she means.

"Okay we understand," Denise tells us in a mocking voice, like she's so skeptical of what Jessica says. "just don't think about this too much, or else you'll ruin this entire trip for me and kina, and we've been looking forward to this since you told us about this weeks ago. hikaru, I hope I said that right, should not be getting into our thoughts and making us mad at each other, like the two best friends here." Denise tells explains while unpacking her things on the top bunk.

"My god...   you're absolutely right. Me and Avery should not be fighting like this, whatever, your brother is an asshole anyway, why would this get between us?" Jessica says while standing up, as if she just made the best decision in her entire life, "cause, he's an ass, and you're the most wonderful person in the entire world and boys mean nothing, so where are we going to today?"

her change of subject honestly took me by surprise. One minute she's talking about love at first sight and Denise explains everything, then the next...  we're on our way to the beach, this very minute.

we all grab our stuff and head out.

Me being me, didn't feel like looking up beaches at the time, and since I have all the host's phone numbers, decided to call kyoya.

After putting his number in my phone, I place it on my ear and wait for him to pick up, hearing the ringing going on for several seconds

"Whom is this any why are you calling me at such an early hour?" He asks in such a demanding voice that it actually sends shivers down my spine.

"Chill, this is Avery and I have a question," I respond when he finishes.

There's a pause before I then hear a sigh and some shuffling.

"What is it you want to know?" He asks, now in a more calm and controlled voice.

"I was just wondering where the best beaches are in this general area, cause me and my friends were looking for a place to hang," I tell him, now in the limousine, waiting to tell the driver where to go.

"Friends? The ones from America ?" He asks, curiousity creeping through his voice.

"Yes those ones, now can you tell me where to go?" I asks, now actually getting impatient and willing to look up these places myself.

"Yes yes, give me a second," he tells me, and I hear typing happening furiously from the other side of the line.

"Ah, here's one you might enjoy. It's hatsumoni beach, located about 15-20 minuets away from the hitachiian mansion. Great water and apparently the best crab parlour around." He tells me as I hear the sound of him laying back down on a bed.

"Thank you kyoya-senpai! I appreciate this a lot!" I tell him, giving the driver the location we will be going.

"Whatever makes you satisfied enough to let me sleep now." He tells me, but I swear I can hear a smile on the other end.

"I guess that's a fine way of telling me you don't want me to call you in the morning anymore." I say as we begin to pull out of the driveway.

"I'm not telling you not to, I can't stop you, but I do enjoy my sleep." I her him say on the other end, a small chuckle on the other end.

"Oh, thanks..." I tell him, not knowing what to say.

"Well I'm quite tired, I'll stay sleeping. See you Monday Carmella." In about to say a snarky comment, but the line goes dead and all I do is glare.

"Who was that?" I hear Kiya ask me as we begin to smell fresh water.

"Nothing, just a small conversation, that's all" I smile and she smiles back, obviously seeing I won't talk about it.

For the rest of the car ride, we just talk, apparently this is my limousine, and he's my driver, as he explained, telling me him name is koutima, but to just call him 'k' because he prefers is.

"We're here miss." He tells us, allowing me to open my own door since I told him I don't want him opening mine for me.

"When shall I pick you up?" He asks when we're all out.

"I have your number, so I guess I'll shoot you a text when I need to be." I explain to him, throwing my bag over my shoulder.

"Alright, I'll say alert for it." He smiles before driving away.

We all wave before walking to the beach.

When we find a great spot on the sand, we all place our towels down and begin to tan, of course Denise and kiya put their hats over their eyes and soon begins to snore and murmur.

Then it's just me and Jessica, but there's a small tension, and I know she wants to tell me something.

"So who was that on the phone with you?"

There it is.

"My friend from school, his name is kyoya." I proceed to tell her, looking at the waves and white caps.

"A boy!?" She screams, almost waking the two girls snoozing.

"Yes, I'm uh... he's... actually in a club I joined." I tell her nervously.

She whips her head at me and looks like she's having a hard time believing I joined a club. I didn't do that much club activities when I was back in America.

"What kind of club? Photography? Music... fighting?" She asks, now as curious as ever.

"No! Never again," I reassure her, "but... it's a host club," I tell her.

"What?! A host clu-" she gets cut off when I hear my name being called in the distance.

I look toward the water, and there a see a red headed Akashi... shirtless I may add, coming out of the water. He wears a bright smile and I can literally hear Jessica gulp beside me. I can't help but smirk at this, she's always had a thing for reds...

He comes closer, and I now become fully aware that he has a six pack, and muscles that I didn't seem to notice at the market.

"I didn't know you would be here. It's good to see you." He tells me, throwing his hair back with his hand in a very sexy way.

"Yeah, i actually came here with my three friends from America," I motion towards kina, Denise, and then Jessica.

"Oh, is nice to meet you," Akashi tells Jessica, holding his hand out for her to shake.

"You too," she murmurs.

He gives her a weird look before giving his attention towards me.

"So I was actually going to text you, but my phone got cut off and I didn't get paid yet, I was going to ask if you wanted to hang out sometime, but if you have friends over then it's no trouble." He gives a crooked smile.

As I'm about to respond, Jessica cuts me off.

"It's no problem, you should meet up tonight," she tells him. He smiles before looking at me.

"Would that be alright with you?"

I give him a nod as me cheeks turn a light Scarlett.

"Alright! How about... mistugu's tonight? I go there all the time. It's a bowling alley and a restaurant." He offers, tiliting his head to the side.

"Yeah of course, sounds great. I'll be there by 6:30, sound alright?" I ask him.

He nods before I hear a small girl wave him over, looking no more than 5 years of age.

"Well I have to go, hitani is calling me over." I nod as he runs towards the little girl who seems to be wanting to swim with him.

"Oh my god! You have a date tonight!" I hear screaming from beside me, which makes me jump because it's not Jessica, it's Denise. Geez I thought she was sleeping. I fear she was awake that entire time, knowing her there's many possibilities.

"Yeah yeah whatever" I tell her, shooing her away.

"That's nothing to scoff at! This hasn't happened since-" kina cuts herself off, knowing not to finish that sentence.

"Never mind..." she trails off, laying back down on her towel.

"Yeah, we don't talk about that anymore kina," Jessica tells her in a hushed tone.

"Whatever guys! I don't care anymore!" I all but yell at them.

"Okay, we won't bring that up again. I'm sorry," kina says in an apologizing voice, making me sad, she forgot.

"No it's fine. I'm sorry I got mad at you for something that was my fault," I tell her, looking down at the white sand inbetween my fingers.

Everything is quiet and I can't help but start to feel self conscious about myself.

I start to look where I seen Akashi, but find nothing of his is there anymore. It seems he has probably left with that little girl, hitani?

I start to get up and begin making my way into the water.

the beach has always been my way of coping with lots of things. I am usually able to forget all the wrong things in my life when I just lay in the sand and am able to just chill out and think about the good things in life. so whenever we came to the beach I would talk, swim, and do whatever I felt, because nobody could tell me what to do, and I wasn't usually in danger, I felt safe and I kept people safe. the water, the waves, the people that came with me, were always there and I made me feel good when they knew I didn't.

"wait up Avery~" I hear the three other girls yell at me as my ankles touch the freezing cold water.

I turn around as soon as I'm waist deep and begin to splash the girls. they can never get use to the water as fast as I can, they're babies who can't handle what's coming to them. so they all squeal and run away from me and laugh as hard as I do.

the rest of the day is spent there until about 4, that's when we decide we should head back to my house. So I call "k" and tell him to come pick us up, and he arrives around 15 minutes later, read. we had already changed and dried up, along with an ice cream we held from the little shop located on the sidewalk where people just went and walked.

"hello Avery, did you have a good time?" he asks as we all get into the limousine.

"absolutely! this was actually really fun and we met one of Avery's friends!" Jessica cuts in. he laughs and nods before beginning to drive back to the mansion.

the ride back was filled with laughs and giggles and denise failing to flirt with "k"

"ill see you all tomorrow, I would assume you don't want to be in this house the entire stay." he tells us, not waiting for our answer before he drives away back into the garage.

"He's cool! we should drive with him more often." Denise tells us while skipping her way back into the mansion.

"I actually agree, I might just make him get another vehicle because a limousine it's way to rich for me, I actually didn't like how people stopped to stare at us when we got out. it gave an awkward feeling of people looking at us, weirder than they usually do." I state as we walk down the stairs.

"You felt that too?! I thought I was the only one seeing that. Literal cringe." Jessica says while we walk up like 100 flights of stairs.

"whatever about the freaking limo, we need tot get Avery ready for her date tonight!" Kiya cuts in as she links our arms together and begins running up the stairs, dragging me against my will.

"I totally forgot! We have to get you ready before you have to leave! Akashi is super cute and you need to blow him away!"

"with how you look, of course, you're not a hoe." Denise says as they sit me down on a chair and begin taking their making out of their bags.

"this isn't technically a date, we're just going to hang out and bowl, nothing special." I tell them as they begin brushing my hair out and putting on face makeup.

"they're never just "hanging out" they're always a date or a potential boyfriend. just remember that next time a guy asks you if you want to hang out. they always have something up their sleeve. it's a fact, something guys do to get closer to you~" kiya tells me while she begins to curl my hair with her curling wand.

"that's not something they all do. just maybe something some guys do. besides, I'm not that great of a catch." I tell them, slumping down a little.

they all stop what they're doing and look at eachother with a worrying look.

"what is it?" I ask, my blood slowly starting to pump faster.

it's just...   Jacob...  has been asking about you" Jessica tells me as she picks up what she was doing before.

"oh...   he was back?" I ask. they all nod and continue, now a tense feeling hanging in the air as we all try to act like how we were.

"Well that's good I guess, especially for Sadie..." I say in a small, coward voice.

"How about, we don't talk about either of them, is that good with you?" Kiya asks in a nervous voice. how could she Not be nervous? this was a sensitive topic for all of us, mostly me.

Jacob as been a large part of my life since I first moved there, and he still is, even though I don't want him to be, he was the whole reason I quit all the clubs I joined, including volleyball, and then a club outside of school, which was fighting.

He was the reason I almost died, and I can't do that anymore, because of what he did.

"guys~ she's done~" kiya squeals ad they begin to walk me towards a mirror that I didn't notice before. I actually didn't know they were still doing that. I guess I zoned out.

"wow! you look really pretty!" I hear kiya squeal from behind me.

"Oh, thanks," I reply. I don't usually see this side of me, feminine, it's usually just kind of stud clothing. But this is a nice change I suppose.

"Well! Times almost here so you should get going~" Denise tells me with so much enthusiasm that you wouldn't be surprised if it was her going on this date.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." I tell her, struggling to get up. Somehow they managed to get heels on me. How?

"Is 'k' going to drive you?" Kina asks while flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"No, I seen a jeep the other day, and one of the cooks told me I could drive if it I feel." I tell them, taking he heels off and putting flats on instead.

I go to the mirror and look at the outfit the girls just made me change into.

I'm in simple skinny jeans with a low cut tank top and a brown leather jacket. Apparently I have one a thick lace choker and a dark blue bangle in my left hand. Overall not a bad outfit, really good. And my hair is in a tight ponytail and it seems it was curled.

"God! You look so good!" Kina tells me while jumping up and down at the sight of me.

"Well this isn't my work,"I tell them, grabbing my wallet from the side of my bed.

"Wish me luck guys~" I tell them while throwing a peace sign their way.

As I make my way down the stairs I begin to feel giddy. I haven't been in a date in a while, this will be fun.
