Meanwhile...

Like Chaz said, he was hanging out at the beach by himself, as he was waiting for his girlfriend to arrive. He was sitting on a beach chair, as Tim was sitting next to him on the ground. The biker had on red swim-shorts, while Tim had on orange and green swim-shorts. The two had 'Feel so Close' by Calvin Harris playing on the nearby radio, as they were waiting for Katie to arrive.

"So what was Annie Radd calling you about?" Tim asked his best friend. Chaz kept his eyes on the sky, not moving his eyes away from it.

"She just wanted to know where me and Katie were. That's all." Chaz said. "It's been awhile since me and you talked to Annie, huh? She's been too busy, hanging out with her boyfriend, listening to heavy metal music alone in her garage..."

"She still does that?"

"Yeah...girl and her boyfriend listen to Guns n' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Fall Out Boy, Queen, any rock, or metal, or emo rock, or anything like that..." Chaz pulls out a soda can from the nearby cooler. "...Those two sit there, listen to anything in their garage. It's kind of what Katie and her do a lot before Odin Revolution came along and started dating her." Tim nods his head, as he stood up off of the ground.

"Well, I'm happy that the girl is willing to hang out with Katie again."

"You can say that again." Chaz said, taking a sip of his soda can.

"Hey guys, I'm here!" Katie shouts from the distance.

The biker and dog-hat boy looked over to their left, seeing the tomboy was coming over to the two of them. Katie had her usual baseball cap on her head as she always does, but wore a pink one-piece bathing suit with a black line going down the side of it. It's been awhile since she's been to the beach, mainly because she doesn't really like it all that much. She places her backpack to the side of the chair, as Chaz stood up from said chair.

"Glad to see you arrived, babe. Glad you could come down here too." Chaz told his girlfriend. He crossed his arms, as he shook his head. "One thing though, what tomboy wears pink?" Katie narrows her eyes, before frowning.

"The sporting store only had this bathing suit in this color left...shut up..." Katie mutters, before looking over to Tim. "So...Tim, is Summer Baxter around here?" Tim shrugs his shoulders, sitting down.

"Not near here, I'll tell you that. Chaz doesn't want to go anywhere near her lifeguard stand because of their breakup, so he doesn't have to worry too much about her." Tim told the tomboy. "Oh, also, Annie Radd wants to talk to you." Katie raises an eyebrow hearing that name being said.

"Annie? One of my friends who drove me to school back than? It's been awhile since I heard anything about her?"

"She's coming down to the boardwalk to visit me, you, and Tim." Chaz said, before pointing at his girlfriend. "Mostly you though."

"Guess it's about time me and her face each other after some time again. Can't wait to see how things have been with her after I graduated." Katie chuckles, before sitting down on the beach chair Chaz was sitting on before. "Annie might be a dropout, but it would be nice to know what she's been up to still." Chaz nods his head.

"Agreed." Chaz then crosses his arms, before looking around the place. "So...while we're waiting for Annie to finally get here, what do you want to do? I might know a couple things."

"Like what? She who's better at volleyball I assume?" Katie asked in a smug tone. "What do you think?" Chaz shook his head, giving the tomboy a scoff after that was said.

"Whatever you say, princess. But this better not become another bet like the one we had back at high school." Chaz said sarcastically. Katie rolled her eyes.

"Not my fault there, dude."

"You two have fun now." Tim said, waving at them, as they left him near the cooler.


Moments later...

Annie drove her way towards the boardwalk's parking lot, ready to find Katie and Chaz. The girl got out of her car, and then headed over to the dock area of boardwalk. She wondered where Katie and Chaz were around here, but it seems like Summer arrived around here the same time as her. The blonde girl was carrying her backpack, just as Annie approached her.

"Hey, uh...Summer, right? I came here looking for Katie and Chaz. Do you know where they are around here?" Annie asked the girl. Summer scoffs at the girl, not wanting to talk to her, since she was Katie's friend.

"You think I know where that girl is? Get lost." Summer said, harshly.

"Damn, no need to be harsh towards me, Summer. I might be friends with Katie, but that's no reason to be a bitch towards me." Summer rolled her eyes, before walking down the stairs. "Can you just tell me where Katie and Chaz is? I really need to talk to them."

"I don't know, alright. I got to get to work right now, now just go off to find them on your own. I have better things to do." Summer walks off, as Annie walked off of the harbor's staircase, heading off to go find Katie around the place for her best friend.

'Summer acting like a bitch would bite her in the ass when she up ends up hearing her husband is about to be dating somebody's best friend...or former best friend, I mean...' Annie said in her thoughts, before heading off to go find the two of them.

The girl walked off to one part of the shoreline, still trying to find her friends around here. Annie still looked around the place, trying to find them still. It was hard to find her, even though the beach seems pretty empty today. Annie basically only saw, about fourteen, or fifthteen people around the shoreline instead of a huge bunch of people.

Annie stopped, looking out to the Atlantic Ocean, still wondering where her friends are around here. Not watching where she was going as she was walking, the girl stopped, hearing the sound of Katie's voice out in the distance. The girl knew she was close by, so she walked over to find her.

Annie approaches the volley-ball net area, noticing Katie and Chaz in this location. She stood by, watching the two hit the ball back and fourth, over the net, until she decided to finally say something. She leans on the net.

"I'm here, guys." Annie finally said. Katie looks over to Annie.

"Oh, Annie, I didn't know you were..." Katie said, only for the volley-ball to hit her in the head. "Ow! What the..." Chaz laughed on the other side of the net, pointing at his girlfriend. "Very funny..."

"Ha ha, I guess I won that one, eh babe?!" Chaz asked, pointing at the tomboy across the net. "Better luck next time, since it seems like I won this bet, huh?" Katie looks over to her best friend, pointing at the biker.

"Dude's acting like it's 2017 all over again." Katie looks at her boyfriend. "I'll be right back, Chaz. I got to see what Annie wants."

"Alright, go right ahead!"

Katie and Annie walked over to the side of the nearby rock. The two stood near each other, as they began to have a conversation. "Dude, it's been awhile since you and I talked, you know?" Katie said. "How have things been with you, man? It's been like...I don't know, months since you and I talked last." Annie shrugs her shoulders, as she leaned on the rock nearby.

"Eh, I've been doing nothing but hanging out with Odin Revolution, and my dad." Annie said. "Nothing really special happened in my life, so...what's been going on with you?" Katie sighed, shaking her head.

"Let's just say that things could be better for me. Crystal and I are no longer friends...but...we're slowly becoming better at not being pissed off at each other. So that's somewhat good. Me and my dad are now working together at the dentist building across the street from Gino's Pizzeria. Aside from that, nothing much, really." Annie nods her head, as she held a finger, looking at Katie.

"Funny thing you mentioned, Crystal, dude...it's nice to hear that you and her are slowly becoming friends again."

"Yeah. Is something wrong with that? I mean, me and Crystal have been...leaving each other alone for a bit, but...you know, I'll give it some thought of being friends again." Annie blinked a couple times, before holding up her hands.

"Well, if that's going to be said, I think you should know one little thing."

"What is it?"

"Keep Crystal away from Luke...because the girl is just going to try to get together with him behind Summer's back. That's what I seen at the mall today."

The tomboy stood there, dumbfounded at what she just heard. She then smacks herself in the forehead, bothered by the fact that this is really happening right now. To think that Crystal probably learned a lesson or something.

"How the hell am I not surprised at all?" Katie whispers to herself, backing up from Annie. "I was hoping that the girl would try to change her ways, but why in the world would she decided that THAT is something that would make me become friends with her again." Annie shrugs her shoulders, placing her hands in her pockets, as she leaned on the rock again.

"Maybe because Crystal isn't a girl who thinks through things before doing it. Now she probably destroyed a marriage in the process." Annie said.

"Guess I shouldn't be surprised. Crystal does have romantic feelings towards Luke..." Katie mutters. "...Thank God I don't."

"Tell me about it, Chaz is a way better boyfriend to have anyway." Katie looks at Annie, crossing her arms. "...Just being honest. He really is a cooler guy than that Luke guy anyway." Annie chuckles to herself. "To be fair, Odin Revolution is way hotter than those two. But we're getting ourselves off topic right now. Regardless, Crystal is kissing Luke, so now what?" Katie groans, finding it unbelievable that she's really going through with this again. She looks over to Annie, feeling like she should do something afterwards.

"If you ask me, dude...I think I'll go talk to Crystal about this later on. Me, Tim, and Chaz are hanging out together, and I rather not leave those two yet." Katie looks over to Chaz, who was talking to Tim by the spot they picked. "I'll tell Chaz about this now. You on the other hand, I'll come find you later tonight. I want to confront Crystal about this in case she gets into a fight with me about this." Annie nods her head.

"I'm not much of a fighter."

"Don't worry, Crystal never fights people unless they cross the line. I'll try not to, but Crystal seriously needs to know not to mess with a person's relationship like this." Annie nods her head. "I got to go now, Annie. I'll catch you later, alright?" Annie nods her head.

"Alright. I just...hope things don't get too crazy when we confront her about this."

"Hey, look on the bright side, dude. Me, you, and her are going to be at the coffee shop when we talk to her about this. So it will be more civil than an actual fight." Annie cringed, turning around, not sure of this idea going well.

"Well, let's hope it is."

Katie looks behind herself, as Annie walked back to her car to head home. Katie cringed, looking at Chaz and Tim talking to each other by their spot, before walking back over to them. The tomboy found it ridiculous that she had to get into a situation like this again.
