Ava’s P.O.V Ever since my five best friends & I were eleven, we had a plan. The summer before we all went off to uni, we wanted to spend the time at Ashton’s grandparent’s beach house near Perth. They always offered the space to him & we wanted our last summer before we all went off to different cities to be remembered.  Every summer since that plan was created, we would always say how we were one summer closer to our time at the beach. Now, instead of being one summer closer, it was happening. Ashton’s grandparents were more than happy to let us use the place for seven weeks & since it had been an idea for so long, all of our parents became used to the idea that they actually agreed as well. It helped that Ashton had an aunt & an uncle that lived about ten minutes away in case of emergencies but it was our dream & so our parents knew no matter what, we were making it happen. So a summer, the beach, my best friends, no parents? What could be more ideal. - “So we leave here at eight tomorrow.” Luke told us all. We were currently sitting around a fire in his backyard, taking in one last night in our hometown before our flight to Perth. We were all crashing at his house & then his parents were driving us all to the airport in the morning just to make it easier on everyone.  As I sat around the fire, I looked at each of my friends & I couldn’t help but become a bit sentimental. First, next to me, there was Michael. He had been my absolute best friend for over thirteen years. Michael was there with me through everything, like absolutely everything. From loosing my first tooth, to when I learned how to ride a bike, to my first day of school, to my grandma dying, to my first period, to my teenage breakdowns. Everything. He was my first best friend, my true best friend. You always have that one friend who is just a little bit more your best friend than the rest & that’s him for me. Michael was going to Brisbane for uni. He was going for computer sciences. Next to him was Luke. Luke was my dork. He was the friend that I knew I could call at any hour of the day & tell the most obscure story to & he’d find it enjoyable. I could also call & ask him to tell me a story & nine out of ten times, it was obscure as well. We had a joking relationship but I always knew at the end of the day, he’d take a bullet for me. Luke was moving to Sydney to live in an apartment with Calum while he studied music performance. If anyone was to be famous, it’d be Luke. Then cuddled on the same chair were Claire & Marcy. Marcy was in our original six. She was my closest girl friend. We would come to each other with the strangest questions about our bodies, we did the total stereotypical girl sleepovers, we shared clothing, we shopped together all of the time. Marcy was my girl. When we were fifteen, Marcy told me she was gay & I honestly hugged her & it changed nothing between us. We didn’t skip a beat. Marcy is very out & her parents are extremely accepting. Marcy is going to study in Canberra & she’s studying journalism. Claire is Marcy’s girlfriend of almost two years so Claire is the newest member & she changed our group from six to seven. Claire is going to school in Sydney as well for dance. She’s an amazing ballerina.  Then there’s Ashton. He’s exactly what I want in an older brother. Ashton is the guy who always has this special eye out for me, at least I felt like it. He would always check in on me if I seemed stressed, he never liked to see anyone struggle & I knew that if I ever had a problem, Ashton would listen & offer the best advice. Ashton was going to Melbourne to earn a degree in teaching. Last, there was Calum. Calum is the sweetest guy I know. He’s the one I call when I can’t sleep at night because I’m scared of the future. He’s the one that I can spend an entire day watching movies with yet never feel bored. He was the one that would call me at midnight and ask if I wanted to drive across town just to get his favorite milkshake with him & then we’d end up two hours away from home in some small diner making friends with the cook. Calum was everything. Except he was totally oblivious to the fact that I had been falling for him for the past four years. The worst part wasn’t that he didn’t know though. The worst part was that out of all of us, Calum was the most into partying, dating, hooking up, you know...that stuff. I would watch Calum, time after time, make out with girls, feel them up, bring them home. He never had a serious girlfriend, which should make me happy since he’s technically single, but having to hear about his one night stands every weekend really hurt & he had no idea he was making me feel that way. Watching the guy you like constantly go for someone else can start to wear on a person. I was always right there too usually at the same parties & he never gave me a second look. But after four years? I was used to that. Last, there was me. I was spending my first year of uni in Italy, Rome actually, on an internship with a chef in a special school program before I’d be at Canberra with Marcy, where I’ll continue on to eventually be a chef. “You need to set like twelve alarms.” Calum said. “I haven’t woken up early on a Saturday in forever.” “You also haven’t woken up on a Saturday alone in awhile either.” Luke joked. “Usually there’s always a mysterious girl next to you, right?” “Stop! That’s not true!” Calum defended himself. “They don’t normally spend the night.” “Calum, you’re such a douche sometimes.” Marcy then said. “These poor girls.” “Hey, it’s always consensual. They want it too. It’s part of being this age, part of the party scene.” “At least my girl doesn’t kick me out before morning.” Claire laughed before I saw her kiss Marcy’s cheek. Besides for those two, none of us were dating. Ashton just ended a two year relationship with Payton, who sort of messed with the vibe of our friendship for awhile because she was pretty possessive of Ashton. Michael & Luke wanted to wait to find girlfriends at their uni so they were just sort of dating around, never getting serious. Me? I was with a guy, Ross, for about three months last year but it never went anywhere. We never went past a couch makeout session & he never heard any of my secrets. I found it hard to see anybody else when I would only compare the man to Calum so I ended it fairly early on just since it wasn’t fair to Ross. As far as my feelings for Calum? Only Michael knows. & he only found out because Calum left my seventeenth birthday party early to answer a booty call with a girl he had a short friend with benefits relationship with. I cried & Michael wiped the tears while he was totally in shock that I had been hiding the feelings from him for over two years. “So.” Michael said, attempting to change the subject to save me from hearing about Calum’s sex life. “How many rooms does this house have, Ash?” “Three. I don’t remember how many beds there are but one room has a couch & there are also air mattresses but how should we split them up?” “Give the love birds their own.” Luke quickly said. Marcy & Claire had no objection to that. “I think I should live with Luke, since we’re going to be sharing an apartment soon.” Calum suggested. “It’ll be like practice.”  “I call Ava!” Michael shouted. “No way.” Luke added with sarcasm. “I never would have guessed.” “Where does that leave me?” Ashton pouted. “The couch.” I spoke. “Or with Mikey & I. We can share too.” “Thanks Aves.” Ashton turned toward me. “I appreciate that.” “I mean it’s your grandparents letting us stay so you deserve to sleep wherever you’d like but you can be with Michael & I.” “It beats sleeping with the girlfriends or with Calum who will always likely have a girl in their room.” “Oh shit.” Luke yelled. “What do I do when Calum has a girl over? I didn’t think this through!” “Our room is open.” Michael answered. “We can cuddle, Lukey.” “I’d rather cuddle with Aves since she has boobs at least but thanks for the offer.” “But I was cuddling with Ava.” Michael replied. “That’s why we’re sharing the room in the first place.” “No I am!” Ashton shouted back. “I’m in this room too. Michael gets his own bed, I share & cuddle with Ava.” The only person who didn’t jokingly ask to cuddle with me? Calum. “Stop! No one is cuddling with me.” “I get to cuddle someone with boobs too.” Claire joked. “& I even have my own.” “No fair.” Michael whined at Claire. “That would be my ultimate dream.” So that was Michael’s dream while mine was to be cuddling with Calum & to stop having to hide this secret.
