Hermione POV

After I was finished terrorizing Blaise, I headed back upstairs to grab my phone and bag. Just as I picked up my phone, it vibrated, making me drop it in shock.

I laughed at myself before picking it up to see who it was.

Olivia :)

Hey, you wanna go 2 the beach w/ me and a friend?

I smiled in excitement and sent a reply quickly.

Hermione

Sure! Ten minutes?

She texted back almost immediately.

Olivia :)

Sounds good! C u there.

I snatched up my bag to find my swimsuit that I had thrown in during our escape, and slipped a t-shirt and shorts on top of it.

I said a quick goodbye to Emily and raced out the door. It was only when I got to the end of the driveway that I realized I had no idea where I was going. I laughed at myself and grabbed my phone from my back pocket.

Hermione

Hey Liv? I have no idea where the beach is...

She took a few seconds longer to reply this time.

Olivia :)

Wow. Just wow. U were goin 2 go 2 the beach w/out even noing where it is. Jeeze. Anywho, where r u? I can come get u if ya want.

Hermione

That would be great. Do you know where Sam Uley lives? I'm staying with them for now.

Olivia :)

Wait, what? The La Push gang? Nvr mind, we'll talk l8er. Gime 5 min.

I sighed and sat on the curb to wait for Livie. What did she mean 'La Push gang'? The guys were definitely not in a gang. They did look like they did muggle drugs though. I had taken muggle studies at school, and one of the things we went over was the D.A.R.E program that muggles did. I guess I could see why Olivia would think they were in a gang. The pack did act a bit like one. It would help if they didn't close themselves off from the rest of the res, but I didn't see that changing anytime soon.

Before long, I heard a truck rumbling down the road, and saw Olivia in the driver's seat.

(I never said how old Olivia is, So I decided that she is just a little older than Hermione, and has her license at 16)

It was a cute, rust old blue truck that sounded like it needed a check-up, but hey, it was still rolling.

Olivia reached over the set and pushed the door open as I stood up and brushed off my bum.

"Hey wild-thang! (Not thag. Thang) Let's go let's go let's go!"

I shook my head at her, but hopped in the car nonetheless.

"So..." She said, glancing at me from the corner of her eye.

I knew exactly what she wanted, and that was for me to tell her about Sam's 'gang', but I decided to mess with her first.

"Yes?" I asked, raising my eyebrows innocently.

She huffed and glared at me before hurriedly turning back to the road when the car swerved.

"You know what I mean. Don't even think about playing innocent." She huffed.

I smirked a smirk that would make Draco proud before answering her. "I really have no idea-"

"Hermione Zabini, I with stop this car!" Olivia screeched.

I flinched away from her glare, my laughter caught in my throat. OMG she can be scary!

"Ha ha. Right. What is it you wanted?" I asked, still cowering.

Her face broke out into a grin. I think she must be bipolar or something.

"The gang, remember? Why do you live with them, are they really a gang, have you been initiated... stuff like that. Talk woman!"

I shook my head at her. She was going to take some getting used to... But I liked her.

"They aren't a gang, they're just really close friends. I guess you could say I've been initiated because I'm kind-of in the group now, but it really isn't what everyone says."

She looked a little disbelieving.

"You don't believe me, right? Well I guess you'll just have to come over after we go to the beach. I'll 'show you my room'" I used air quotes.

She grinned at me before quickly turned back to the road as the car swerved again.

"You know, I don't think you know who to drive this thing." I teased.

Her glare shut me up again. Jeez she's scary.

When we got to the beach, Olivia immediately started singing at the top of her lungs.

"I used to think maybe you loved me now baby I'm sure. And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door. Now every time I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down, cos I just can't wait till you write me you're coming around. I'm walking on sunshine, wooah. I'm walking on sunshine, woooah. I'm walking on sunshine, woooah, and don't it feel good!"

She was skipping down the beach in circles and waving her arms around her in her own form of a dance.

I was laughing as I chased her across the beach.

"Liv, wait up!" I heard someone yell behind me.

She skidded to a halt and spun around so face, I ran into her and knocked her to the ground.

Olivia groaned from underneath me.

"Why do you always land on me? Why can't I squish you for once?" She whined.

I laughed and hopped up, offering her a hand and pulling her up when she accepted.

"Hey, Wormie, who's this?"

I turned around to see a girl with brown hair right below her shoulder and brown eyes that almost looked gold. She looked to be about 5'6" and was wearing a cute 2 piece suit.

"Don't call me wormie, Raven." Olivia threatened.

Raven only laughed at her glare, and I was surprised that she wasn't intimidated at all. I wasn't usually intimidated, but around Olivia I could be scared as hell.

I was confused, and it must have shown on my face because Raven launched into a story.

"About a year and a half ago, Olivia and I had a job at the gas station in town, and her shift was always right before mine. So one day, I came in to start-"

Olivia launched herself at Raven, trying to cover her mouth, but Raven sidestepped her and Olivia went faceplanting into the sand.

"-my shift," she continued as if nothing had happened. "and what do I see but Olivia sprawled on the floor covered in the bait shelf. Half the boxes were open and the worms were everywhere. Hence the name, wormie."

I was laughing while Olivia was glaring and wiping the sand from her face.

"You just have to tell everyone that story, don't you?"

Raven grinned and nodded.

"Yup. I wouldn't be your bestest friend if I didn't embarrass you!" She said.

Olivia glared at her then flung her sand covered hands at Raven, covering her swimsuit top in sand.

Raven gasped in mock horror.

"You didn't!"

"Oh but I did." Olivia replied.

Raven reach down and scooped up a fist full of sand and dropped it on Olivia's head before taking off down the beach.

While they started an all out sand war, I was practically dying from laughing so hard, and failed to see the looks that exchanged.

I had taken off my jeans and the t-shirt earlier, so it gave them the perfect opportunity to throw sand at me with out getting my clothes stained. They covered me from head to toe in the mushy stuff before I finally got way, screaming as I ran.
