"I'm going surfing" Bradin called into the house as he left towards the beach.

"He's really liking surfing isn't he?" Ava said.

"Yea, it's good that he found something he enjoys" Johnny replied.

Bradin sat down on the beach to watch a few people before be went out.

There was one girl who really caught his eye. She was absolutely beautiful with medium length brown hair. A guy sitting beside noticed where he was looking.

"Dude is she not amazing. You don't want to get sucked into her world. She's a wild child, but I guess depending on you that could be a good thing" the guy laughed before getting up and leaving.

"Hey Kansas!" Erika called to Bradin as she and Jay walked up from the beach.

"Hey" Bradin replied.

"My cousin is visiting for the summer and she's your age. I was wondering if you wanted to come out with her Jay and I tonight?" Erika asked.

"Yea sure" Bradin replied.

"Great, we'll see you then" Erika said as she gave Jay a kiss and walked back down towards the beach.

"Bradin you said you would launch my rocket with me tonight" Derrik complained.

"Sorry Der, but that's gonna have to be another time" Bradin replied as he went into the house.

Nikki knocked slowly on Cameron's door. She knew that Cameron's dad wouldn't be home. Cameron had invited her over to watch a movie.

"Hey" Nikki said when Cameron opened the door.

"Hi, come in" Cameron replied moving aside to let her into the house.

"So I have Ghost Ship, but we can watch something else if you're too scared" Cameron said.

"No it's okay" Nikki replied.

Cameron made popcorn and the cuddle up on the couch to watch the scary movie. At one really scary part Nikki jumped and hugged Cameron, hiding her face in his neck. She slowly looked up and Cameron leaned in and they started to kiss.

"I really like you" Cameron said.

"I really like you too" Nikki replied.

They didn't end up watching the rest of the movie. They were too busy kissing.

"Care to join me in the hot tub?" Johnny asked as he stood in the doorway of Ava's room holding two champain glasses.

Ava who was sitting at her desk going over some sketches looked up and smiled.

"I would love to" Ava replied.

"Get your bathing suit on and I'll meet you down there in a few minutes" Johnny said "I'm just going to make sure derrik is asleep" he said.

"Kansas this is my cousin Heather. Heather this is Bradin" Erika said that night when they all met up at the local club.

Bradin reconised Heather imediately as the girl from the beach that morning.

"Hi" Heather said.

"Hey" Bradin replied.

"Oh my god, I love this song" Erika said as she pulled Jay onto the dance floor.

Heather and Bradin stood there for a minute wondering what to do.

"Do you wanna get out of here?" Heather asked.

"Yea" Bradin replied and they took off towards the beach.

"So why does Erika call you Kansas?" Heather asked.

"I'm from Kansas" Bradin replied.

"Oh, I thought you lived here. You seem like the surfing type" Heather said.

"Well I do live here now with my aunt" Bradin replied.

"Where are your parents?" Heather asked.

"They're dead" Bradin replied.

"Oh.......I'm sorry" Heather said.

They were both silent for a minute.

"So where are you from?" Bradin asked.

"Originally here, but my dad got transfered. I missed it here so much that my parents are letting me live with Erika for the summer" Heather replied.

"That's cool" Bradin replied.

"So let's get to the interesting stuff. Do you have a girlfriend?" Heather asked.

"No...you?" Bradin asked with a smirk.

"I'm totally available" Heather replied.

"That's good to know" Bradin smirked.

"Let's sit here" Heather said as she plopped herself down in the sand. She laid on her back, looking up at the stars.

Bradin laid down beside her.

"You're freezing" Bradin stated when he saw her goose bumps. He rapped his arm around her. They started to settle themselves in eacothers arms when they're lips got really close.

Bradin took his chance and leaned in closer to kiss her. They started out slowly, but it became more passionate as they explored eachothers mouths with their tougnes.

After about ten minutes when Bradins hands were really starting to wander there was a bright light that flashed on them.

"You kids should be getting home. It's late" A police officer said.

Bradin and Heather got up and headed back to the club to find Erika and Jay.

"The cops make a sweep of the beach every night. It's so annoying" Heather said.

"Yea" Bradin sighed.
