All Bec Sanderson had wanted was him. And he was gone.

Your Anything

Bec Sanderson smiled over the stack of towels she was carrying, watching Loren Power and Charley Prince jog across the sand. After three months at the boarding house, they were the first official couple- you couldn't put six hormonal teenagers in a house together for twelve months without expecting some tongues to tango. She knew that for a fact- four years ago she was one of the hormonal teenagers with a tangoing tongue. And she honestly never expected to be back at Solar Blue. The Bec Sanderson standing there was nothing like the one they had met when she was at Solar Blue. At Solar Blue she was heated and fiery, blowing up at the complete wrong time. And it usually ended badly. She was crazy and out of control, and head over heels in love. The complete opposite of who she was now. The Bec standing there was calm and collected, able to take the teasing remarks the kids made. And she was single. Single as the day she'd been born.

"Bec?" Cassie Cometti spoke up from behind her. "You okay?"

Bec almost dropped the towels in shock. "Huh?"

"Are you okay, Bec?" Cassie repeated. "You look lost".

It took Bec a minute to compose herself. "I'm fine. Sorry, you took me by surprise".

Cassie giggled. "I noticed".

Bec poked her tongue out at her. "I'm fine. I saw how hard Garry was working you lot- that reminds me, is Bridget okay?"

Cassie scrunched her forehead together. "Don't know. I'm gonna go and do some ks on the exercise bike, okay?"

"Be careful".

"Yes, Mum", Cassie teased.

Bec threw a towel at her. "Ha ha".

She headed towards the house, a small smile gracing her lightly freckled features. Yes, Solar Blue was the last place she saw herself at, three months ago. But right now, she couldn't see herself anywhere else. She loved the job, the jobs Jilly, Simmo and Deb did that she took for granted, when she was a student. She loved the kids coach, Garry Miller. He was the best decision the kids had ever made. She let the kids choose- they had a choice of Dave or Garry. Five of them like Dave. Charley liked Garry, and convinced all six of them to hire Garry. It was all Charley's fault, they said. If things turned out pear shaped, blame Charley.

It didn't turn out pear shaped.

And she loved the kids more than anything. Three boys, three girls. Loren Power was the baby of the group, the youngest and the one they all looked out for. When Bec first met her, she wasn't sure how this shy little girl was going to make it through the year. Within a week, the shyness had worn off and she was joking around just as much as the others. She reminded Bec so much of Fly Watson, the baby of her year of intakes. Loren was innocent and sweet and little, knowing a lot more than the others gave her credit for.

Cassie Cometti (most of the time they called her Pigeon, for unknown reasons. It was an old nickname) was next, one of the wildcard intakes. She was determined, accident prone (very accident prone) and fiery, blowing up at completely the wrong moments. Bec saw herself all over in Cassie. But she also saw Cassie's huge pumping heart.

Bridget Sanchez was the brains of the girls, very calm and collected. Nothing fazed her, which Bec admired most about her. Bridget reminded her a lot of Anna Peterson, the girl she hated and then loved- her future sister in law. Bridget was a hard worker and if attitude was anything, was going to win at the end of the year.

Charley Prince was the Dean Edgely of the group- the loner at the beginning, but within a week, was as close as anything with the others. He was determined to win at the end of the year, and nothing was going to stop him- not even his relationship with Loren.

Adam Bridge was the brains of the boys and as cool as a cucumber- Matt Leyland all over. He knew random facts about everything and would spout them at random intervals, always making them laugh.

Guy Spender was a charming joker, making them all laugh- especially Bridget. She was his damsel in distress. Guy was a carbon copy of Heath Carroll- the troublemaker of Bec's year. The thing she loved most about Guy, though, was that however hard he joked around, he never hurt anyone. Guy cruised along land like a second hand tractor, but the second he jumped on a surfboard, he was a Ferrari. That was Garry's exact description, and personally, Bec couldn't agree more.

"Bec!" Garry called, as Bec stacked the towels in the cupboard.

Bec almost threw the towels over her shoulder. "What is the matter with you lot today?"

"Excuse me?" Garry sounded confused.

"Everyone's sneaking up on me today!" she exploded. Granted, she was a lot more jumpy than usual, but there was no need to sneak up on her.

"You aren't paying attention to anything in life", Garry counteracted. "What were you thinking about?"

"The kids", she admitted. "What do you want? Can't you see I'm stacking towels?"

"Have you noticed anything weird about Bridget? I told her to shift her weight to her right leg and she nearly cried".

Bec thought for a second, pushing Adam's favourite towel into the cupboard. "Not really. I've noticed Charley acting like a lovesick puppy, and Loren giggling hysterically over absolutely nothing, but apart from that, nothing out of the ordinary".

"Hey Garry!" Adam called. "You know what? In some countries they won't let couples in love make important decisions for six months!"

He descended down the stairs and Garry chuckled. "Charley and Loren".

"No, nothing out of the ordinary". Bec shrugged. "I'll keep an eye out for her".

"Thanks. The girls don't tell me anything, if you've noticed".

Bec laughed out loud. The kids thought of Bec and Garry as their older siblings. Garry was the confident for the boys, and the girls told Bec everything and anything. Bec kept all their secrets, things that the boys didn't need to know, but told Garry anything that needed discussing. It worked both ways. The kids trusted Bec and Garry, and Bec and Garry trusted the kids.

"I'm going to go and lay down, okay?" Bec said. "I've got a bit of a headache". And she was telling the truth. Her head was suddenly throbbing.

"I'm going to head to the gym for a while".

"I think Cassie's down there. And I know the lovebirds are on the beach. I haven't seen the other kids". Bec shrugged and headed into her bedroom- originally Deb's. She collapsed on the double bed, burying her head under the pillow.

Thoughts of the kids reminding her of her year brought back unwelcome memories of Dean Edgely. Edge was her man that year- they had fought it for seven months. Everyone knew they belonged together. They knew they belonged together. They just didn't want to admit it to each other.

They didn't have an easy relationship. Perri Lawe, Bec's best friend and roommate, kissed Edge, and they both tried to hide it from her. That little incident landed her in hospital.

Edge was also very negative at times. He was convinced their friendships were just fishbowl friendships- when he announced this Fly was horrified. Heath nearly put his pool cue through the roof. They all knew their relationships were real. So did Edge- as Matt put it, he was talking out of his backside again.

And the thing that had Bec cry in her room for three months was the fact that, on their last night (which they spent at the boat club), Edge, one of the two winners, promised he'd make Sydney his home base. He promised to come back and visit Bec, no matter what.

The straw that broke the camel's back was that, in four years, he never visited. No contact, in four years. Tears sprung to her eyes, as she looked at the photo on her table. Anna, Joe, Perri, Matt, Heath, Fly, Edge and her were on the beach, laughing. The girls were sitting on the guys' backs, as they piggy backed them along the white sand. Deb had taken the photo from a distance and Heath had put copies in the scrapbooks he made for them at the end of the year. Bec had a copy made and framed, and it had been sitting on her bedside table ever since.

Bec was over Edge. One hundred percent.

She turned the pages, to the end. Inside were photos from the announcement at the boat club, where Andrew told them the winners. Fiona Watson and Dean Edgely, come on down! Bec was ecstatic for Fly, and happy for Edge. They all were. The seven (eight including Joe) danced the night away, Fly actually falling asleep in the middle of a slow dance with Heath. He gently carried her over to the side, where he fell asleep as well. Bec woke the next morning, wrapping in Edge's arms, covered in balloons and streamers. Fly and Heath were next to them, Matt and Perri at the other side of the room, next to Anna and Joe. She loved that night, no matter how hard it was on her.

She pushed the scrapbook away, and took the other photo frame off the table. Bridget, Loren, Cassie, Adam, Guy and Charley were kneeling in front of her and Garry, with their surfboards. It was the first photo Angus had taken of the new group of intakes- the second one was on her desk in the office.

Never in a million years did she think she'd be returning to Solar Blue.

"Bec?"

There was a gentle knock at her door, and Loren's kind face poked in. Bec rolled over to look at her.

"Sorry!" Loren apologised quickly, seeing Bec's red eyes. "Did I wake you up?"

"No, no". Bec's voice was thick with tears. "What's the matter?"

"Dinner's ready. Charley and I made spaghetti".

"Oh. Okay, I'll be down in a minute".

"Are you okay? You look upset".

"No, I'm fine. You and Charley are cute, you know? You remind me a lot of one of the couples in my year".

She tactfully didn't mention the couple was herself and Edge.

"Really?" Loren asked, blushing a little. She was definitely the most bashful person Bec knew.

Bec crawled off her bed, and followed Loren down the stairs.

"Look who decided to make an appearance", Adam drawled, a playful smile on his face. Cassie punched him in the arm and Bec burst into giggles.

"Were you asleep?" Guy accused.

"Nope", Bec said.

Charley had his head in his hands, yawning.

"What's the matter with you?" Garry asked.

"I'm not hungry. And I'm tired. Can I skip dinner?"

"Sure".

Charley shuffled off towards the stairs and Bec looked at him worriedly. "I hope he's not coming down with something".

Guy sniggered.

"Guy, if you even think about making a sick joke..." Bridget warned, waving a fork at him. They had lived with Guy for long enough, and they all knew he had a joke or two for every occasion.

"I have a few really, really bad ones", Guy giggled.

Bridget glared at him.

"But I won't".

Bridget put the fork down as Guy giggled hysterically.

"I don't wanna know", Loren said.

"Me either", Cassie said.

"I do!" Adam said.

Cassie punched him harder.

"Ow!" Adam whined. "Cass-eeee!"

Guy and Bec exchanged knowing looks. They knew exactly who the next Solar Blue couple were going to be.
