Chapter 3: Beach

They stayed out on the beach for a while until the sun started to set.
"We should go in now." Noah said.
"Yeah...I've missed it here." Lyla says.
"I've missed having you here. I enjoy the company." He says.
"Do you still surf?" Lyla asks.
"I mean I did all summer." He says.
"Well. Now you have time to teach me as I'm here for a while..." She says.
"Deal." He says as a tall brunette boy walks over to them.

"Was the beach busy this year?" Lyla asks.
"As usual.. but they had a nice strong lifeguard to help them." He says.
"Really, who?" She asks.
"Me!" Noah reveals.
"What! No way really!" She says.
"Yeah me and a friend applied together." He says.
"Cool.." Lyla says. "Meet any hot beach girls?" Lyla jokingly asks.
"A gentleman never kisses and tells..." Noah says.
"Oh shut up!" Lyla says hitting him.

"Carter!" Noah calls out as he runs towards him.
"Noah!" The tall dirty blonde boy holding a surf board says.
"Hey! You're back!" He says.
"Yeah. Just now!" Carter says.
"Oh. Lyla this is Carter. He lives in the summer house down the road." Noah explains.
"Hi..." Lyla says clearly noticing him clearly distracted by her bikini.
"Uh- Hello." He says going to hug her but ending up fist bumping her as Lyla and Noah giggle at him.
"Wanna surf?" Carter says.
"I was about to head back with-" Noah goes to say.
"No. It's fine. I can go alone. Enjoy yourself." Lyla says.
"You sure?" Noah asks.
"I'm certain! I need to unpack anyways. Stay safe. Bye carter!" She says fist bumping him goodbye as walks back into the apartments and slips into her heels and hears Noah call out.
"Dude!" To Carter. It was clear that Carter was in love with her and she found it hillarious. Then she went up to pack her things.
