I thought it would be a typical summer, with my sister Amy doing everything I've been dreaming of doing- holding hands with someone I'd fallen in love with as we walk on the beach, shopping, searching the beach for different shells. I always stay at the beach for the summer, with only a few days at my real home. I've never known what it's like to be in a summer romance, until now.

I was lying on my towel, my sister next to me. She was tanning, so she decided to leave me alone for a while. I was enjoying the moment, reading a magazine I'd taken from my family beach house to keep myself entertained. Suddenly, I see a group of boys my age playing volleyball nearby. They're all pretty cute, but I only notice one of them. He has gold-brown hair, near-perfect skin and face, and looks like he's having the most fun out of all of them.

I didn't focus on anything else, this was love at first sight for me. But I knew that even if he did like me, Amy would do anything she could to get in the way. She'd try to take him from me. I was so busy thinking, I didn't see the volleyball land near me. But I did see the boy calling to me, "Can you give that to us?"

I called, "Sure!" and picked it up. I was about to walk over, and I guess we both started walking to the other because we completely knocked into each other. I quickly blushed, trying to keep calm and not make anything too awkward.

"Sorry, didn't see you there. Let me help you up." He reached out his hand, which I took. It felt so natural to be holding it, even though he was only helping me up.

"No, it was my fault. Here's your ball." I handed it to the boy, and he took it. I could've sworn I saw a bit of a blush on his face.

"Look, it was me. I'm really sorry, honest." He smiled briefly, and said, "I'm Topher."

Topher. I could say the name forever. I laughed, trying to think of an explanation as to why I was silent so long. "I'm Sammy."

The moment had to be broken. Amy showed up behind me, and I swear I knew that evil grin on her face better than anything. She smirked at me, seemingly enjoying what was happening.

"Pardon my clone here, she doesn't know when to stay out of things." Amy glared at me for a split second, then smiled sweetly at Topher. "I'm Amy."

"Hi." He smiled back for a few seconds, before turning back to me. I gave a small wave, and felt the blush spread on my face.

When I saw her, I was almost completely zoned out of the volleyball game. I had to look at her blue-green eyes, blond hair, and happy attitude. She was like the source of light, and I even saw her staring at me a few times. Our gazes were locked on each other.

"I'm Sammy." I loved that name, Sammy. It was such a pretty name, and I felt myself falling in love with her even more.

Her sister, Amy, was like the meaner version of Sammy. Luckily for me, I saw the good in her before then, and knew Amy would never be Sammy. Sammy was too good-hearted, friendly, and kind. Amy was the cold-hearted, rude, and vicious sister. I just knew they were twins, from the first look. But I'd never mix them up, Sammy had no beauty mark like Amy.

"So, Topher," Amy said to me. "Do you live around here?"

I noticed the happiness in Sammy went away when Amy was around, and thought it was sad. Sammy deserved someone to make her smile. "Amy, I come here every summer."

"So do I- we." Amy sent a glare at her sister.

"Right." Sammy agreed weakly.

Luckily for Sammy and I, Amy was distracted by a bunch of seagulls at her beach towel. She ran off to scare them away, and then I turned to Sammy. "Really, I'm sorry for what I did. How about I buy you a frozen yogurt or something later? You pick, I feel really bad."

"You don't have to do that. Really, you don't."

"I insist. How does noon tomorrow sound?" I could've sworn I saw Sammy smile for a second, out of the corner of my eye.

"Sure, if you want to." Amy was now yelling for her to come and do something for her. "I guess I'll meet you here, Topher." Sammy ran off to Amy, and I watched her. I promised myself she'd be mine by the end of the summer.

I was exploding on the inside when Topher offered to meet me at the beach tomorrow. This would be my first real date, and since Topher seemed like he didn't like Amy, ther was no way Amy could mess it up.

"I know you like him, Sparemy. If you ever think of taking Topher away from me like that, well, you're in for a world of trouble." Amy was glaring at me, holding only her sunglasses. She'd told me to hold everything else.

So I had to handle two beach towels, two beach chairs, and two bags full of shells. One was mine, although they were all broken pieces. Amy had claimed all the good ones. I sighed. Amy wanted Topher for herself.

"Okay, Amy." We had just reached the house, and Amy walked in first, slamming the door in my face. I opened it, and made sure there wasn't too much sand on my feet before walking in. I could already hear Amy now- "Stupid! You got sand all over the floor! I'll so tell Mom you did that!"

I went to the bedroom Amy and I were forced to share, but never got the chance to relax because Amy decided to force me to get her a lemonade from the boardwalk. I reluctantly slid on my flip-flops, which were unfortunately full of holes thanks to Amy. She always wanted to look better than me, and this was one way she did that.

I was near the front of the line when I bumped into someone for the second time today.

I hope you liked it! I'm actually a SammyxTopher fan, so this is obviously about that pairing.

•Do you think Amy will ruin Sammy's date?

•Will Amy get meaner? (I think so)

•Who did Sammy bump into?

Enjoy, and review!
