Wind blowing in her black straighted hair Azariah had a huge smile on her face as she rode her bike
Her bike was a green shade with a white basket and black seat. It's what she got for her 15th birthday from both of her parents
She absolutely loved that thing
The girl had always found the wind blowing in her hair fun, blasting music while biking soothing, and watching the sunset while going by calming
Riding bike was like therapy for her. She could do it upon a hours and hours
And apparently she was not the only person who enjoyed it. Every parent on both sides of the island knew Azariah rode her bike literally everywhere she went
Yet they didn't mind because she always had a smile on her while pedaling and it calmed the adults too
It was so refreshing to see a teen enjoying their teens years and not a party doing drugs, getting drunk and driving, or even just driving
She just made everyone so happy when she biked by, no matter what mood they were in
Which is why Deja normally always lets her go bike around. She didn't want to stop her daughter from making memories or enjoy her summer, except last year. See the teen had snuck out way to much that the woman had to drive her daughter everywhere
Trust, it was not fun for either of the females
But that wasn't how it was going to be this summer; because with Azariahs life being cut short, the woman wanted her live as much as possible
So she had made a promise to herself that this year she would let her daughter go anywhere she wanted as long as she did her chores, ate beforehand, and wasn't doing illegal activities
And so far it was working out. Minus the eating before rule she almost broke
But that's because she was making food for her hangout, and she did in fact plan to eat there
Currently she was biking to the beach to meet her friends and have a bonfire. In her bag were sandwiches she had made
They all had to bring something and today Azariah was assigned to sandwiches. She made the literal best sandwiches to ever be on earth
She used bread you would find at a deli shop, and put on turkey, colby jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on it
Kiara was told to bring the fruits like watermelon and kiwi, Sarah was bringing towels for everyone
John B had to bring a cooler with drinks, Pope got stuff to make s'mores, and finally Jj just had to bring the ice
It was always so fun meeting up with them
When she got there everyone was already there and had their stuff laid out. The only thing they had to do was make the bonfire, but that was for later
"Riah!! You finally made it." Kiara ran up the girl and put her arm around her
Smiling pope and jj came running up to her and picking her up "Ahh smileys here!"
They shouted and laughed which made Sarah and John B turn around and start walking towards the four
For a minute the six chatted while Azariah set her stuff down and laid it out
But then Jj shouted something "Last one to the water has to walk home!" He held a big goofy smile on his face and laughed
Immediately everyone took off
They all ran super fast and so fast that pope actually tripped over his feet and tumbled into the sand
Which made him the last one in the water. But we made it clear he was not doing the punishment
"I am not walking home guys!!" He yelled as he dusted sand of his body. Everyone laughed and shouted at him to just get in
They all swam around and played games. They had a splash fight and a handstand contest
Azariah won! And is was all just so wholesome, so the Barlowe girl had to make sure she didn't any moment of these hangouts for granted
When they are all done swimming after about two hours the sun was now setting and cresting a beautiful pink and orange sky
They decided it was time to eat, but they had one minor issue "Uh where are the plates." Pope asked concerned
Jj just shrugged while Kie along with Sarah and laughed as they looked down
The Heyward boy was looking directly at Azariah and just had the blaming look on his face
"What! Ok this is not my fault, so don't look at me!!" She put her hands up in sarcastic defense while slightly laughing
John B looked at Pope "Dude I thought you were bringing the plates. You know, since you're bringing the s'mores stuff."
They all went back and forth until Azariah brought up the fact that she had wrapped the sandwich's and they had napkins so they didn't exactly need plates
It was a laughing moment. And as the sun continued to set, they ate their food and began sharing their plans for the summer
Pope really wanted to build his college resumé this summer by volunteering, taking extra classes and courses, along with contacting colleges. Kiara wanted to hatch turtles this summer with her volunteer group she was in, Sarah realized she wanted to have a care free summer
And as for John B and Jj the two decided to work for the kooks and make money. One being at the country club and the other cleaning a yacht
Once they were done eating it was now dark and they decided to play some football and set up the fire
The moonlight illuminated their running figures and the teeth that was shown from their smiles
Azariah felt truly happy as she ran around with her friends, tackling them and stealing the ball
It was one of those moments that you would see in a movie, and she loved it. Because this is exactly what she wanted this summer
And so as their game ended and the six absolutely devoured their s'mores a smile never left anyones face and laughter constantly filled the air
This is what summer was. This is what it was all about, what her summer was all about
Genuine happiness
