Beach besties

Casey had been neighbours with Daniel for as long as she could remember, they became instant best friends as soon as they met. No matter what the situation was even at six years old it was always Daniel and Casey against the world. That didn't even change when Ben joined there group.

Current time- 1993

Dan get uppppp, I say as I hit him in the head with a pillow

"Piss off Casey" he groaned and rolled away from me.

"Get your wettie on the surf is good as today we're gonna miss out" I exclaim loudly much to Dans dismay.

"I don't wanna I'm tired" he groans again.

"If you come with me , I've got weed to share"I whisper in his ear knowing that'll grab his attention.

"Right hang on, get out I'm gonna get dressed" said Dan.

"Righto Dan"

...

"See that was worth getting out of bed for wasn't it Dan" I say as we are sharing a joint in our special beach spot.

He takes a drag from the joint " Yeah true true, wonder what Chris and Bennie are doing?"

"Probably something stupid like usual I chuckle"

" Yeah probs, we'll have to go over later I promised we'd practice our new song"

Well I'll be glad to finally hear it, what's it called...I felt like it or something, what's it about?

"Idk really just thought of some words and it sounded good ya know?"

" sounds class, oh hey umm could I stay at yours tonight?"

"Yeah course , everything ok?"

I think back to last night " Casey you little shit , I've just got off the phone with your teacher and you failed your test!? What the fuck is wrong with you?" Screamed my mother.

" I told you we should've never had her Susan, worthless piece of shit" my Dad mumbles under his breath from the corner where he's sinking his first six pack for the night.

"I studied for the test it was really hard though , it's a tough class" I try and say.

"Excuses , excuses probably too busy slutting it up with Daniel or Ben, or both" she sniggers.

"Fuck you" I say.

She smacks me in the face and I fall over, she kicks me in the stomach.

" don't talk to me like that, get out of my sight" exclaims my mother with disgust.

"Casey? Casey? Earth to Casey are you alright ?" Says Dan.

I snap out of it "yeah just mum and dad fighting again ya know"trying to play it off.

He looks at me quizzically " You wanna go see what trouble Ben and Chris have gotten themselves into?"

" Always do Dan and then I'll hear your new song"
