Odette slowly walked across the beach. She could feel the soft, Alolan sand, between her toes, and clutched onto her friend, Chi’s arm, tightly. She was wearing a light blue one peice swimsuit, that came with a built-in, ruffly skirt... which was way more than many other people on the beach was wearing, but she still felt completely, and utterly, exposed. She’d never worn so little outside of the school’s uniform swimwear... and certainly never outdoors.
She felt slightly embarrassed, and struggled against the urge to hide her face.
Calm down. She told herself. You’re on vacation. No one is here to police you. Relax already. You are miles away from anyone who expects you to be ‘perfect’... so just enjoy the beach.
...Easier thought than done... especially as they crossed the beach, and started towards the others.
“U-um! Good morning!“ She called out as they approached. Despite it being early, it was already quite warm out. The joys of the tropics, she guessed.
