The sun painted a beautiful sky as it rose of the beach the next morning. I couldn't sleep. Something was bubbling inside me, and I wasn't sure what it was. I hadn't felt this emotion before which made me more curious about what it was. I heard Kate stir from her long sleep, glancing over my shoulder at the room. I looked back out at the golden waves that lapped against the beach while the palm trees blew ever so softly in the light breeze.

"Morning sleepy head" Kate yawned shuffling out onto the balcony looking at the scene I had been viewing for almost over an hour "C'mon you need to get ready"

I walked back into the room delving into my un-packed suit case for my tankini. I slipped that on before putting a plain white t-shirt over the top and my jeans. I combed through my hair quickly as there was a knock at the door.

"I'LL GET IT" Kate yelled running through the living room rapped in only her towel with dripping wet hair pausing at the door "WHO IS IT"

"ROOM SERVICE"
"Come back later" Kate shouted before disappearing into the bathroom again

I rolled my eyes as I sat down on the couch again waiting for Kate to free up the bathroom. She came out again at least 10 minutes later.

"There you go...." she gestured for the bathroom before she made her way to her room.

I quickly slipped into the bathroom and began brushing my teeth vigorously. I heard the door again.

"I'll get it Kate" I yelled as I darted out the bathroom and opening the door without thinking about who might have been on the other side.

"Hello Charlotte" Peter smiled

I looked up and saw the three friends standing in the door way smiling, while I stood on the other side mouth full of toothpaste.

"Well aren't you going to let us in?" Jasper asked

I simply nodded. The feeling which was un-known to me grew stronger as the three friends walked into the hotel room. I quickly shot into the bathroom, finishing my teeth. When I came out I saw that Kate had joined the group and they where eagerly discussing the beach.

"Hurray! She's ready!" Alice grinned

"OK Lets go" Kate said.

We made our way out of the room the four excited people in front with me lingering behind. They all sounded excited about going to the beach. Not that I wasn't, I just didn't want to join in the conversation. As our feet hit the pavement, I realized how hot it really was and the sun hadn't even risen that high in the sky yet. We crossed the deserted road and onto the sand just as more students began piling onto the beach. I set down my towel and watched as Jasper and Peter began tossing a football at each other while Alice and Kate laid down to catch some rays. I didn't bother taking my jeans and top off since I hadn't planned to go into the water.

"Hello hot stuff" I heard an unfamiliar voice say

I looked up to see a group of boys, most likely jocks surrounding me. I knew this couldn't be good.

"How bout we go for a swim" one grinned

"I..don't kno-" I began but before I could finish my sentence the boys had grabbed my and where carrying me towards the water.

I kicked and struggled screaming for them to let go. I knew no one would pay much attention since this probably happened on a regular basis. They began wading into the water til it was up to there knees.

"OK ready..." said one of the two who had carried me out here.

"NO DON'T" I screamed

"One.....Two...." the other one began

"DON'T" I cried but it was already to late

"THREE" they both shouted

They flung me into the water. My arms flayed about as I flew. A high pitch scream emptied my lungs of the remaining air as I went under. As quickly as I went in I stood spitting out the salt water which I had swallowed. I turned to yell at the boys, but instead I saw a brawl had broken out on the shore. As I waded through the water, I noticed one of the boys was the one who had suggested that they'd fling me into the sea. The other was Peter. I gasped and waded quicker as the brawl became more of a fight. As I stumbled onto the beach Jasper had already begun to intervene. He grabbed Peter pulling him back while Peter still tried to through some punches at the other boy, who had now also been grabbed by his friend.

They seemed to calm down, Peter shoved Jasper away before he looked at me. His face was full of hurt and anger something I thought I would never see in someone like Peter. I also noticed a large gash on the side of his head. Peter turned and made his was up the beach. Neither Jasper, Ali or Kate followed. I wasn't sure why but I followed Peter anyway, as quick as I could in my water logged clothes.
