Her white blonde hair blew in the wind. She was looking straight out at the horizon, the waves lapped at her feet, but she didn't move. I couldn't see her face and her hair was a different colour, but I would know the way she stood, the way her shoulders were angled and the slim tilt of her neck. She was wearing a bright pink sweater, underneath you could see her white bikini top and bottom. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Dude, you okay?" I tore my eyes away from the girl and looked at Grant.

"Do you see that girl?"

"Girl? Where?" he looked out where she was stood, his eyes bright and excited,

"There, by the water." I pointed to her waiting for Grant to come to the same conclusion as me; that it was her and I that I wasn't going crazy.

"I don't see anyone…" he said his eyes passing over her as if she wasn't there.

"Right there." I stated trying not to sound too frustrated. I mean Grant could be dumb sometimes, but this was pushing it.

"Zach there's no one there." He looked at me with worry in his eyes.

"How can you not see her? How do you not know it's her?" I said a bit louder than I meant to.

"Who is she, Zach?" he spoke gently and cautiously.

"Cammie! It's Cammie!" I shouted the music stopped and everyone stopped talking at the sound of her name.

"Zach, Cammie is-"

"Dead! I know!" I ran a hand through my hair and looked back out to where she had been stood, but she was gone. I heard a whimper and looked back to a see a small, petite blonde. The girl next to her wrapped an arm around her and rubbed her shoulder. Her eyes were filled with tears, but I knew she would never let them fall, Bex never cried. Two months ago no one would have batted an eyes lash at Cammie's presence let alone just her name. Cameron Morgan had been a nobody. She hadn't any friends as far as I knew. She always looked sad and alone. No one noticed her unless they felt like laughing at someone, but she had always intrigued me. Exactly two months ago everything had changed. She became the talk of the school. Suddenly everyone knew of her… ever sense she died. It was a hit and run. She was hit by a car in front of the school. The police thought it may have been a suicide that she may have jumped in front of the car but I never believed that.

"I know…" I repeated softly to myself.

"Do you want me to take you home?" I shook my head.

"I'm fine, just need something to drink." I shook Grant's hand off my shoulder and headed over to the drinks table. I grabbed one of the red plastic cups and took a long gulp of the warm beer. I turned around as a pair of slim arms curled around my waist.

"So I was thinking," she said a smile on her lips, "You could come back to my place tonight." Tina flipped her red hair over her shoulder. She wasn't wearing heals like normally because of the beach, but it made her under a head shorter than me. I shook my head.

"I don't know Tina,"

"Why not Zach? It's been so long."

I shook my head and looked down at her large brown eyes. She looked up at me, her eyes pleading. I sighed, I always gave into Tina. She was a sweet, no strings attached sort of girl.

"Fine, but I don't really want-"

"It's fine! All fine! Would you take me home? I got lift here from Lauren." I smiled weakly and nodded. She stood up on her tip toes and kissed me lightly on the lips.

"Thanks Zach," she meant it; I know she did because of the look in her eyes, but I didn't say anything back so she just turned and walked back to her friends. I looked around the beach. The party was still in full blast, I figured it would look bad if I left before 11 on a Sunday night, so I spent most of my time standing around and listening to conversations that I didn't contribute to. My mind was on the girl by the water.

Xxxxxx

I turned over; my face came into contact with the cold end of the pillow. I was aware of my surroundings, of the warmth radiating off of Tina's small body, of her steady breathing, the rising and falling of her chest. I opened my eyes to find the room still in darkness. On the other side of the room the blinds were blocking out the sun, the tiny rays of light seeping in around the edges of the heavy blue fabric. I slowly lifted the thin blanket and crawled out of bed. Tina took in a deep breath and lifted her arm up to rest her hand next to her head.

My jeans felt thick and uncomfortable from sleeping in them all night and the air around my bare chest was cold. I glanced around the room looking for my t-shirt before realising that Tina was wearing it. I didn't want to wake her so I decided to just leave her with it.

I headed out to my car, trying desperately to remember how I had gotten home last night. I took a deep breath and tried to clear my head, it was aching and pounding. I got into the driver's seat and threw on the old grey sweatshirt I had worn to football practice a few days ago. I didn't leave Tina a note and I wasn't planning on speaking to her in school today and she wouldn't expect me to, she didn't need me to, Tina wasn't that kind of girl and I wasn't that kind of guy… maybe that was why we were perfect for each other.

I turned on the radio, my fingers drumming to a familiar song that I couldn't put a name to. I glanced out the window to see a girl stood at the bus stop. She had in her ear phones the wires disappearing into the pocket of her black jeans. She had on hot pink converse that matched her hot pink school bag that had a thought bubble on it, big bold letters saying OKAY. Her top was just a plan white t-shirt that she had written on with a sharpie My Name Is: V her hair was in some kind of braid that wrapped around and was resting over her right shoulder. She turned and her eyes meet mine. They were a cold blue, ocean blue… they looked like Cammie's eyes.
