The Beginning

My friends and I were chilling on the beach as usual but something felt different. None of us understood what was going to go down in the next week. My best friend Cody was off somewhere messing with her boyfriend, Andy, Brandon was, of course, building a sand castle with Anna, Ollie he, well, Im still not completely sure what he was doing that day, and Madi was everywhere doing everything she could. Everyone on the beach today seemed to be as white as snow, even paler than me! Sure, maybe, it could've just been my eyes playing tricks on me, but considering we all noticed it, it didn't seem likely.

Ollie and I were racing to get into the water first, we were always very competitive. I went crashing into an oncoming wave and nearly sent him flying out of the water. He was sputtering water out while I just giggled, probably like an idiot too. He got me back, sadly. He decided to "accidentally" toss my things into the water. 

When we finally got out for the day, the sun had settled and everything seemed to be at peace. We had a perfect view of the sunset, the air smelled of saltwater, and the sound of seagulls were drifting around us. I don't know how that day could have gotten any better.
