Best Friend At The Beach Novels & Stories

The morning sun was low in the sky, casting a golden hue across the tranquil beach. The waves lapped softly against the shore, their rhythmic sound soothing to the ears. Maxine found herself walking beside Sarah, the sand shifting warmly beneath their feet. It was a rare moment of peace, one that had not been hers in what felt like ages. No Coreen, no bullies, no stress—just the two of them, the sea, and the sky.

He’s smart, loves law, hot, sexy, body of a God, and makes me feel like no other man ever has. I’m in major trouble. I know this will end with my heart shattered but I'll take whatever time we can get. The next morning after breakfast I go to the beach with my friends. "Hi." Brady replies. "Hi." I reply. "Dudettes we're going surfing, any one wanna join?" Wesley asks. “I'll try it.” Tammy blushes. “I’m in.” Cindy replies. “Hard pass!” Kim declines. “It's a pass for me too.” I reply.

Ethan had texted me around nine, saying he was at the lake and didn’t want to be alone. Where’s Ava? I’d asked. Didn’t ask her. Just needed a friend. A friend. That’s what I’d always been to him. Ava’s best friend. The connector. The third wheel who smiled through every date night, every inside joke, every time he looked at Ava like she’d hung the moon. I drove to the lake anyway. Of course I did. He was sitting on the dock, his feet dangling over the water, his phone dark in his hand. He didn’t turn when he heard my footsteps, but his shoulders relaxed slightly.

I stared at the screen not paying it much attention. Instead, my mind was hyper-focused on what had just happened. Was I reading into this too much? Probably. Zack was a very loyal guy so it was probably just a friendly peck on the head. Yeah, that's what it was, a friendly kiss on the head given to me by my best and only friend. My best friend, damn my life. You can say that again.

I had seen the worst of people in the few years I had been alive, I didn't want to repeat any mistakes. “I need to tell Ella first,” I said to the woman, surely Ella knew these people better than I did, she would be able to warn me to be wary if need be. “That's fine, she is on the other side of the beach with her lover,” the woman said with a smile. I looked at her in shock wondering how she knew about such a thing, was she just spying on everyone? “Okay, but maybe it isn't a good time,” I said dismissing the thought of bothering her and Jake, they needed their time alone and I wasn't going to cut that short because of my own selfish purposes.

Familiar. We were almost back at our spot now. I could see Will sprawled out near the cooler, sunglasses on, pretending not to watch everything while absolutely watching everything. A couple of the others were arguing about some shit as usual. “Took you long enough,” My best friend drawled when he spotted me. “Thought you fell into the ocean or something.” “Tempting,” I replied, dropping down onto my towel. Tiffany sat down beside me without hesitation, knees drawn up, chin resting on them. Like she’d always belonged there. Like nothing had ever gone wrong. I smiled and draped my arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to me. She smiled back, leaning into me.

We accompanied Veron there to change as well. After Veron finished changing, Ate Aika suggested taking some pictures on the beach. She took individual shots of each of us, and then we had a group photo together. I'll admit, just like Ate Rica, Ate Aika is incredibly kind. Perhaps that's why she's Ate Rica's best friend—aside from both being beautiful, they're both genuinely kind and sweet. Ate Aika's smiles are so sincere and sweet; there are moments when you just stop to admire her.

Rosie and Belinda chuckled, watching the children as they began making their way home together. ****** The golden sunset bathed the beach in warm light, waves gently crashing against the shore. Tristan and Aiden sat on a large rock, their feet dangling above the sand. Nearby, Rosie, Belinda, and Stephanie sat chatting and enjoying the serene view. Today marked fifty days of their friendship and life as neighbors, and they had come to the beach to celebrate the occasion. Aiden glanced at Tristan, a wide grin spreading across his face. "When I grow up, I’ll marry you,"he said proudly, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

I heard him chuckle at my little act, and we resumed the match, which we later won 25-16, thanks to Max's and Ethan's incredible teamwork at the net. As the sun continued to shine, most of the group headed into the water. I quickly responded to a text from my mom, letting her know I was at the beach and promising to call her back when Avery and I returned to our dorm. Then, I made my way toward the water. Upon reaching the shore, I allowed the waves to wash over my feet, relishing the beautiful horizon before me as the sun set. I noticed Avery and Kalix in the water, wrapped up in each other and appearing completely infatuated. A warm smile spread across my face as I witnessed Avery so caref
