A/N: I'm sorry if this chapter seems boring, I'm doing my best to write a bit more before I make Carmen go off to college. Also, I need some OCs to be college students. Just a warning, I chose who is good/evil and who dates who, so don't yell at me if your character is evil or not dating who you want. We can't all be perfect. ;)
I woke up and stepped onto a body. Why was there a body on my floor? I stared down on the face of Mitch. He looked so peaceful sleeping. I couldn't allow that when I had gotten up at 8am!
I tiptoed to the bathroom connected to my room and filled a cup up with water. I grinned and walked back until I was standing over him. "Wake up sleepyhead!" I said as I poured water onto his face. He opened his eyes and stared at me.
"Why are you in my room?" He asked me.
"You are in my room, duh." I told him.
"Crap, I must have fallen asleep! Jerome is gonna kill me!"
I laughed. "Relax, it's only 8 o'clock. He'll still be sleeping. You have plenty of time to drive back."
"Good." he said. "By the way, Jerome and I were going to go to the beach today, want to come?"
"Sure!" I said excitedly. I hadn't been to the beach with them in a while. "What time do you want to meet up?"
"We all know he sleeps in, so I'll call you when we are ready." I nodded. "By the way, I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes."
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
"This!" Mitch yelled as I felt the icy water pour over me.
I glared at him. "I'm gonna kill you!" I yelled back and chased him to the balcony. He gracefully swung himself over the side and to the pavement below. "Curse your agility!" He laughed and drove away.
Since I was already wet I decided to take a shower. I always used the shower to think things through. I decided to revisit last night. I was crying and Mitch came to comfort me. He told me I got 100,000 subs. I got a blueberry muffin and fell asleep in his arms... awkward. Wait, didn't I need to do a vlog for 100,000 subscribers? Oops.
*************Time skip******************
"Hey there embers it's Golden Flame! Thank you so, so, so much for 100,000 subs! It was awesome to hear that when I was on vacation. I'll have a vlog coming out soon when I move into college. Speaking of college, guess who I found out is coming with me? Mitch, Adam, and Jerome! Hopefully I'll do more videos with them soon. Thanks again, and I'll see you later-" I watched a car pull up. "Looks like someone wants to be in my video."
Mitch waved as he and Jerome got out of the car. "Hey dood!"
"Guys, I'm filming my 100,000 subscribers vlog, so say hi!"
Mitch smiled and slurped for the camera. Jerome said hi and took the camera from me.
"This girl right here is amazing. If you haven't, subscribe to her right now!"
I took back my camera. "Well we are off to the beach, hopefully I'll get some good footage for you guys! Bye embers!"
I shut off the camera. "Was that really needed?"
"Yes." He replied. "Now get in my van, little girl."
I laughed and sat in the backseat. "I'm older than you."
"Let's just get going." Mitch interrupted. Jerome started the car and we drove off.
**********Another Time skip***********
I lay my blanket down in between Mitch and Jerome, just like when we were kids. I walked over to the ocean and taped it for a few moments. I planned to make a montage of clips for my channel. The water was packed with people. I got an idea.
"Hey guys, why don't we go to Shell Cove?" I asked them.
Jerome smiled. "Still as devious as always. Let's go."
Shell Cove was a place where we used to picnic when we were younger. It was about a quarter mile from the beach. No one ever went there, probably because it wasn't entirely legal. But hey, anything's legal when the cops aren't around!
The walk was long, but we had plenty to talk about. I learned all about Mitch and Jerome's YouTube channels, friends, and families. I told them a lot about Annette and what I did after I moved.
Finally, we arrived at the cove. It was a crescent of beach that led to the ocean. It was surrounded by trees on three sides, the fourth showed the beautiful open water. I set down our picnic basket and blanket. "Let's swim!" I called out.
I went up onto a rock by the edge of the water and cannonballed in. (because cannonballed is totally a word) I bobbed back up to the surface. "You guys coming?" I felt water splashing onto my back and mini waves hit my face. "Already here." said Jerome.
"CANNONBALL!" Mitch yelled as he hit the water. I looked out and saw some nice waves coming in.
"Let's wave jump now," I said. They both looked where I was and nodded. "You know the rules?"
"First one to wipe out has to pay for lemonade. Duh," said Mitch.
"Ready?" asked Jerome.
"Set?"
"Go!" I called as the first wave hit us. I jumped over five more before we got a little break. The next round hit us and I stumbled a bit.
"You giving up already? Where's the spirit you used to have?"
I turned towards Mitch and glared. "You're on."
I hopped over ten more waves before I noticed it. "Guys... That wave looks really big."
"Are you chicken?" taunted Jerome.
My eyes narrowed to slits. I turned to face the waves. "I'm gonna win!" I yelled right before I hit the water and blacked out.
