Nikki put a fresh coat of her Goldie shimmer lip gloss on her lips. She stuck the tube back into her True Religion mini skirt. Then ran her hands through her, just highlighted, golden hair, that was now almost passed her shoulders. She slipped on her Chanel sunglasses and pushed the backdoor open. The rays of golden sun glazed over her tan skin. Nikki felt the freedom inside her bounce. Not only was she on her own for the day, but practically for the month. Aunt Ava was way to busy to keep an eye on her. She had her new company to worry about. As for Susannah, well, she was always trailing behind Ava or following her latest boyfriend, Jack around. Derrick was away at summer camp for the next 4 and a half weeks! The only one was, Jay. The typically cool, sometimes strict, un-adult-like Jay. But he did have his shop to look after, so how was he supposed to be home and be at work.

As Nikki strolled the beach for her friends, she caught sight of Cameron and decided to head over for a quick hello. Cam and her used to be a thing, but I guess they grew apart from it and now are just friends, that never seem to hang out. Cam looks, different, Nikki thought. "Nikki, hey." Cam said as he leaned against the boulder. "Hi. Enjoying the sun?" She asked politely. "Yeah, I hope it stays like this for the rest of the week, I might just be able to break away from this pale stage." Cam laughed. Before Nikki could cut the small talk Amber appeared behind Cam. Nikki's mouth almost dropped, but she kept her cool. "Nikki, well, I haven't seen you in a while." Amber said putting her hands on her hips. "Mmm." Nikki nodded. She didn't feeling like sticking up for herself. She didn't feel like even dealing with Amber now. They used to be such good friends, but when Amber admitted she liked Cam, things between them began to brake.

When Nikki spotted her best friend Hailey laying on a towel by the water, Nikki immedetly splurged toward her. "She's with him. Out of all guys, she chose him!" Nikki said in anger. "What?" Hailey's eyes suddenly opened and you could see her hazel eyes. "Amber. She's with Cam, right now, there at Two Brothers, on the beach." Nikki said her knee's beginning to shake. "Ugh...again? She's just trying to make you jealous. She doesn't like Cam." Hailey assured her before closing her eyes again. "How do you know?" Nikki pouted. "I just do. Now come layout with me, its so nice out." Nikki just stood breathing in the salty smell of the ocean. "Remember when she went out with him last summer. You were so upset but then you got over it. Now come on, Nik. By the time you lay down its going to be dark." Hailey pleaded. "Your right. This is stupid." Nikki pulled her tank top off revealing her Roxy bikini. "Now thats hot." Hailey joked hitting her in the stomach and then pointing to a boy on a long board in the ocean. They both began to laugh as they pointed to all the cute guys that roamed around the public beach.

Nikki and Hailey refreshed there make-up by adding some L'Oreal eye shadow and some mascara. "What are we doing tonight?" Hailey asked as she straightened her long light brown hair. "Lets call, Lauren and Jenna. I told them we were doing something tonight and they wanna tag along." Nikki said as she pulled her cell phone out of her bag. "Kay." Hailey said unplugging the straightener. "Hey. Yeah, but we don't know what we are going to do. Sure. Yeah, thats fine. Okay, cool. Yep, mmhm. Kay, Bye." Nikki pressed end on her JuicyCouture Sidekick. "Burger at the pier." Nikki reported to Hailey who nodded.
