Lissa is Rose's best friend, they met in first grade and immediatly took a liking to each other and the rest is history. Lissa is also Christian's boyfriend, they started going out their junior year in high school. Adrian is Christian's best friend and he was in love with Rose only problem was that nobody knew that he loved her not even Christian but Adrian also knew that Rose was in love with Dimitri but Adrian hated him not because Rose loved him but because he thought Dimitri was a bully and was hurting Rose but he couldn't prove it but one day he would and then declare his love to her.
Rose and Christian were told by their parents that they could have the summer for themselves but come fall, they needed to find jobs so they would have purpose in the world. Yes, Abe and Anna spoiled their children but they also taught them to be humble. They day after graduation, the friends all decided to spend the day at the beach, they arrived at the Mazur home with coolers full or alcohol and snacks, they were going to spend this hot summer day on the beach by tanning and swimming and just enjoying each others company. This was the begining of the rest of their lives. Everyone grabbed what they needed and headed down to the beach, the good thing with being wealthy was the beach they were going to was private. Christian informed everyone that Adrian was running late and would be there in awhile. When he showed up he was with his new flavor of the week. Christian always gave Adrian a hard time saying he should find someone who lasts more than a night. Adrian would always smirk at Christian and tell him he just hasn't found that someone yet, but under his breathe he whispered, "I found her, but she doesn't notice me and anyways she's with that stupid Russian and while he's in the picture he wouldn't even be an after thought to her".
The day flew by, Rose tanned body was even more darker and Adrian thought she looked like a desert princess while the Russian just lay there reading his stupid western book. The rest of the crew all burned since they all had that Irish skin. The waves were huge today and they even surfed. They also discussed the upcoming Kings of Leon concert they were going to on Thursday night at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA. They got front row seats and were really excited since this was everyone's favorite band except for Dimitri, who liked county music better but was still going because he didn't like Rose to go places without him. As the sun began to sink, everyone went home to change and they were all going to meet on the Hampton Beach strip and play arcade games and get beach pizza, because nothing compares to beach pizza.
They arrived on the strip around 9PM and Lissa and Christian decided to go and have their pictures taken. Dimitri and Rose were off to the side and Adrian saw that they were fighting and Dimitri hit her in the side. This seemed to piss Rose off and she hit him back, as Abe and Anna made sure that their kids knew self defense, then she stormed away. When Lissa and Christian came back to Adrian they asked where Rose and Dimiti are, Adrian shrugged and said he thinks that they left.
