We All Need To Escape From Life
Kenny's POV
There's no dialogue. :)
Nothing really happens. But read it anyway, okay?

The deep lake is surrounded by mountains on all sides, closed off to the rest of the world. In the summer it's a popular place to spend your days, laying on the docks soaking up the sun, or attempting to dive to it's cold, rocky bottom.
The dock we're on juts far out into the water, the damp wood smells faintly of seaweed, and the water laps forcefully at your feet. We come out sometimes in the evenings to just sit and watch the sun set and the twilight fall down on the surrounding forested mountains.
Bebe is laying on the dock, trying to catch the last rays of sunlight. Wendy, Stan, Kyle, and I sit on the edge with our feet dangling in the water, sharing our thoughts and musings on our near-perfect lives.
Wendy is perched over the water, studying her reflection with a smile on her face. Stan and Kyle sit next to her, Kyle leaning back on his elbows. Their flawless bodies gleam under the fading gold light of the sun, bringing out their tans. Stan looks content next to his secret lover, and for once, so does Kyle. His eyes are usually searching for some kind of trouble to get into. They sparkle when they do so. Tonight he actually looks relaxed and happy to just sit still and enjoy everything.
No one else is out here tonight. I watch as Stan's foot gently strokes Kyle's under the water. Stan is smiling bashfully, his sapphire blue eyes are gleaming, but are focused on their feet in the water. Kyle glances at him with amusement in his eyes. He gently leans over to nuzzle Stan's neck.
I've never seen them display any sort of affection for each other in public before. I look around, there is no one else in sight.
Wendy leans her head on my shoulder and sighs in a content manner. I wrap my right arm around her shoulders and give her a squeeze with my hand.
Stan looks surprised at Kyle's bold move. He shouldn't be surprised. Kyle's never anything but bold. Stan grins though and strokes the skater's bare back.
A trout leaps from the water way out on the lake before us, it's small splash drowning in the hum of insects. I kiss Wendy's nose and she smiles, leaning against my chest.
Bebe sits up behind us, coming over silently to sit on my other side. I notice her watch Stan and Kyle with a devious look in her eye, her pretty red lips pulled up into a little grin. I chuckle softly and give her a gentle shove. She pinches my arm in response and then closes her amber eyes and smiles, a soft breeze blowing her blonde hair out behind her. I notice that it's down tonight. She usually has it tied up in a pony tail or piled on top of her head in a messy bun.
Wendy leans heavier against me, her soft hoodie is gentle on my skin. The sunset is tilting towards dusk now, the orange rays giving into a velvety purple hue.
Kyle lays back on the wooden dock, his chest moving up and down with each breath, eyes closed. His skin is flecked with water. Stan gazes fondly at him and I can tell that he'd do anything for Kyle.
I too lay back on the dock. Wendy follows me and leans against my chest. Stan and Bebe both lay back too and Stan angles his body towards Kyle, twisting a finger through an unruly curl of brown hair.
The stars overhead become brighter as the sun slowly shifts below the horizon. A frog croaks somewhere and the scent of sandal wood fills my nostrils. I exhale slowly and find myself comfortably drifting into a light sleep.
