Stalking around the pool area, Lucas’ eyes flicked around for what he was looking for. After a late night of working with his siblings on things in the bar the night before, he had decided that settling by the pool for a break was much deserved. Had he intended to lose his phone? No. But he managed to anyway. So, there he was the next day, tearing the area apart. Coming to a stop in front of the lounge chair he was sprawled out on the night before, he decided it would be best to look through everything there in hopes of locating it. ‘Everything’ also included the things of the person who decided to occupy the lounge chair today. He was so distracted by his search, he didn’t notice the rightful owner of the items he was looking through approach him. Instead, he kept on looking, moving the things on the lounge chair this way and that as he looked frantically about.

    “need some assistance?” jane stood tall next to her twin, her head titled to the side as she waited for an answer. seeing him frantically looking through her belongings, she could easily guess lucas had lost something as he usually would. for someone as organized as he was, one would think he would know where he have put everything. “what did you lose this time?” she inquired as she grabbed the towel from the lounge chair to dry her hair as much as she could, then wrapped it around her body.

“Awesome.” He whispered before looking at her with a serious look, and then smiling. “You’re gonna give up on me for a bar? That sucks.”

    “what do you mean ‘for a bar’? some of us need to work during the summer. unless... am i understanding this correctly? are you lowkey offering to become my sugar daddy?”

emilie was elated to be on the island. she had spent the past few weeks constantly buying clothes for this trip, she wanted to make sure she looked cute. “which one do you think looks better?” emilie asked, holding up two shirts. “i can’t decide. i think they’re both cute, and i really don’t wanna hurt the shirts’ feelings.”

    “––is this why you called me to your house?” jane suddenly asked after a moment of silence. when she had gotten the text from emilie, she didn’t know what it was about. it just said to meet the younger girl in front of her house and so jane did. she patiently waited to hear what it was about as they made their way into emilie’s room. she didn’t expect it would be for a fashion advice? of all things. “the way i see it is, wear one today and the other one tomorrow. it doesn’t matter which one, they’ll both be worn so there won’t be any hard feelings.”

“so you’re the asshole that almost hit me with that.” reaching beside her, andy held up the plastic disk. “what’s the fun in these things anyways?”

“I was wondering.” Sasha started, looking over at the other. “D’you want to go maybe surfing with me? Or climbing or.. Basically anything, I’m done not to do anything, I need some more.. Danger, please.” The french boy tilted his head. “You down for that?”

    “always. alas, i have to stay and tend to the bar as it’s my job.”

“Woah…I’m up!”

    “you didn’t have to. i was about to join you in napping.”

a sigh of relief left andy’s lips as she sank her toes into the sand. she had missed the island greatly, especially the beach. it was had always been one of her favorite places to be. laying back on on her towel, she allowed her eyes to close, basking in the warmth of the sun above. only moments had passed before she felt a presence behind her, causing her to groan. “can you move? you’re blocking my sun.”

      # her family doesn’t own much but what little they have has always been enough. her childhood was carefree. with an adventurous spirit & an inquiring mind, there was never a dull moment. she also got in trouble often because of her ways.

      # she used to visit the island every summer with her family when she was little. her maternal grandparents owned the beach bar. at around age twelve, jane’s parents divorced & samantha, the mother, moved permanently to the island & cut all contacts with her family. the woman was alive but she might as well have been dead; jane tried to make contact with her for years but without success, so she moved on.

      # samantha passed away recently, leaving the beach bar to jane and her siblings. so jane decided to move to the island for the summer and try to figure out what to do with the property. she also bartends there since they need the income.

      # she’s a photography major in her local university back in the states. she’s free-spirited, values freedom, is also thoughtful and super supportive unless she believes a person’s action could end up only harming them.

      # as open-minded as she may be, when dealing with extremely irritating & ignorant people, she’s capable of throwing a punch or two.

      # she’s also very... strange? she feels emotions, but her mindset is different so she doesn’t react as normal people would? agh, this is hard to explain. you’ll just have to see~~
