Bradin smiled as he stuck his head out the window. They were finally arriving at Florida's Sebastian Inlet. It was really hot out and both boys couldn't wait to hit the water.
"I can see the surf," Bradin said.
"What's it look like?" Lucas questioned he couldn't take his eyes off the road long enough to get a good look.
"I'd say they're about four-feet and hollow" Bradin replied.
"Nice" Lucas said.
They drive for another few minutes before arriving at their campgrounds, which are right beside the beach. It doesn't take them long to find their campsite.
"What do you say we put up our tents later and go out for a surf now?" Lucas suggested.
"There's nothing I'd rather so" Bradin replied with a smiled.
They both quickly changed into their board shorts.
"I like that it's so hot we don't need wet suits," Bradin said.
"Yea" Lucas agrees.
They untie their boards off the roof of the car and wax them up.
"Ready?" Lucas questioned.
"I've been ready since we left Cali" Bradin replied.
They both run towards the surf with their boards under their arms.
They paddle out to the lineup where they're tons of locals.
There's a beautiful set wave coming in and Bradin goes for it. He feels the wave rising under him and he stands up. He makes the drop and then does a smooth bottom turn.
When the wave closes over he turns and paddles back out into the lineup. He sits, straddling his board and watches as Lucas gets into position for a powerhouse wave.
Bradin yells encouragement as he watches him make the drop and rocket down the line. He has a huge rooster tail of spray.
The guys surf until the sun is starting to go down. They want to stay out longer, but they know it's too dangerous.
They catch one last wave and ride it in to the shore.
"That was awesome," Lucas said as they were walking back up to their campsite.
"Definitely" Bradin replied.
"We should probably put up our tents now" Lucas suggested.
" 'Kay" Bradin replied.
Bradin grabbed his tent and pulled it out of the bag, thinking it would be easy to put up.
He started putting the poles together, but was confused when there was one more pole than there was places to put them. He shrugged it off and didn't say anything though because Lucas had the same tent and he wasn't having any trouble. He would feel stupid asking he should be able to put up a tent..., right? Wrong!
"Okay, I'm done" Lucas said as he looked over at Bradin.
When he saw Bradin's tent he burst out laughing.
"What?" Bradin questioned.
Lucas wasn't able to talk; he was laughing too hard.
That's when two girls walked by and noticed Bradin's tent. It was really deformed.
One of the girls started laughing with Lucas, but the other seemed sympathetic.
"Do you want a hand?" she asked.
"That would be great" Bradin replied.
"I'm Bradin by the way," Bradin said.
"Mucho gusto Bradin. Me llamo Claire" the girl replied.
"English please" Bradin said with a weak smile.
"Right, sorry. Sometimes I forget. I'm Claire" Claire said.
"That's Spanish right?" Bradin asked.
"Yea" Claire replied.
"I'm Mariel," the other girl said. She and Lucas had finally stopped laughing.
"Lucas"
Claire quickly helped Bradin to fix his tent and put it up properly.
"So that's what it's supposed to look like" Bradin said with a smirk.
"Hey, there's a party on the beach tonight, you guys should come" Mariel said.
"Sounds like fun" Lucas replied.
Bradin and Lucas followed the girls down the beach to the point where there was a huge bon fire.
"So where are you from?" Claire asked Bradin. Lucas and Mariel were having their own conversation.
"California" Bradin replied.
"Cool"
"Are you from here?" Bradin asked.
"Yup, I'm a local" Claire replied.
"Do you surf?" Bradin asked.
"Yea, I'm going to be in the Western championship that's coming up in a few weeks" Claire replied.
"Really? That's what I'm here for" Bradin replied.
"You're here a little early aren't you?" Claire questioned.
"My friend and I wanted to come up early and have a sort of vacation before the competition" Bradin replied.
"It'll give you time to get used to the waves too" Claire added.
"Yea" Bradin agreed.
Bradin was surprised by the size of the bomb fire that they were having on the beach.
Claire and Bradin both sat down nearby in the sand while Mariel and Lucas disappeared off into the bushes.
"My friend is kind of slutty sometimes" Claire explained.
"Well, I'm sure my friend will take full advantage of that" Bradin replied with a laugh.
"So, tell me more about yourself Bradin?" Claire said.
"I have a younger sister named Nikki and a younger brother named Derrick" Bradin replied.
"I have a younger sister, Chantelle and a way older brother, Blaise," she said.
"How long have you been surfing?" she asked.
"I started last summer" Bradin replied.
"Really? And you're already getting invited to competitions like the Western championship" Claire said, "You must be a natural," she added.
"Why? How long have you been surfing?" Bradin asked.
"Since I was like three, I used to ride with my mom on her board" Claire replied.
"Wow, that's pretty cool" Bradin said.
"Yea"
"So why did you wait so long to start surfing?" Claire asked.
"Well, I wasn't living in California until last summer" Bradin replied.
He could tell already where this conversation was going.
"Where were you living before?" she asked.
"Kansas" Bradin replied.
"Do you miss Kansas?" she asked.
"Sometimes" Bradin replied honestly.
"I can't imagine moving away from where I grew up. I love it here," Claire said.
"You get used to it" Bradin replied.
Bradin was really surprised when Claire didn't ask why he had moved to California. He was grateful to it though. The last thing he wanted was for her to be feeling sorry for him.

"It's already passed my curfew" Mariel said as she and Lucas came back over to Bradin and Claire.
"You're taking off?" Lucas questioned.
"Yea, my parents are going to kill me" she replied.
"I should probably go with you" Claire said as she stood up.
Bradin stood up too, brushing the sand off his shorts.
"I had a really good time tonight," Claire said as she turned to Bradin.
"Me too" he replied.
Claire leaned in and gave him a quick kiss.
"We need to go" Mariel said as she grabbed her friends hand and started pulling her away.
"I'll see you later" Bradin called after them.
"Si, Hasta Luego" Claire replied over her shoulder.
"This trip is going to be even more awesome than I thought" Lucas said as he and Bradin walked back up to their campsite.
"Yea" Bradin replied, still savoring the taste of Claire's lips against his.

PLEASE REVIEW!
I really hope that you like this story, because I think that I'm going to have a lot of fun writing it.
Over the course of the weeks that Bradin and Lucas are there do you think that Bradin and Claire should have sex?
Do you want me to write out some of the scenes between Lucas and Mariel?
