First Love( Continued)

Beth went home that night and went straight to bed. The sleep helped and she felt better the next morning. The next morning was Saturday and it was a beautiful day.

" You feel better?" her mother asked.

" Much better," Beth answered, " The crowd got to me I guess."

Beth sat down and then got back up to get herself some breakfast. Beth ate some cereal, but then got a phone call from Donna.

" Hey," Beth said, " I'm feeling much better."

" Good," Donna said, " So is Brenda. For a moment there, Brenda thought she was pregnant."

Beth couldn't believe what she just heard.

" Are you serious?" Beth asked.

" Yeah," Donna said, " The way I was raised, I'm supposed to wait until I get married."

" Me too," Beth said, " I'm glad Brenda is feeling better."

" You and me both," Donna said, " How about a trip to the beach?"

" Sounds great," Beth said, " Let me ask."

Beth asked her parents, who said it was okay. Beth then hung up the phone after she told Donna it was fine. Beth was more then excited to hang with her friends, she hoped Scott might go, but then remembered him saying something about shooting hoops with David.

" Oh no matter," Beth told herself, " A day hanging with the girls. Girls day out."

Beth then laughed. Girls day out and it might mean looking at and flirting with other guys. The idea of talking to other guys made her heart jump.

Meanwhile, Scott was outside in his backyard shooting hoops with David.

" Beth is going to the beach with Donna," Scott said to David, " Maybe we should go there?"

" Are you afraid of losing your girlfriend to another guy?" David asked.

" Well aren't you?" Scott asked in reply, " Donna is quite beautiful."

" I'm not worried," David said, " Donna and I trust each other. We love each other too. Donna can look all she wants though."

" David, you are so confident," Scott told him shooting the basketball and making the shoot.

" Nice shot, buddy," David said with a smile, " Don't worry about Beth, she's crazy about you."

Scott just smiled and took another shot and again made the basket.

" You should have been on the basketball team," David said, " You have quite a talent there."

Back at the beach, Beth was enjoying herself at the beach with Donna, Kelly, and Brenda.

" I'm glad you feel better, Beth," Kelly said, " Too bad you missed a great party."

" I'm sorry," Beth said, " Next time maybe it won't be like that. I'm also glad Brenda is feeling better."

" I had Dylan with me," Brenda said, " He was by my side. Hopefully he doesn't get sick."

Beth smiled, " Dylan is so sweet," he said, " You are so lucky."

" Scott is sweet too," Brenda said, " You two make a cute couple."

" It makes me wonder what the guys are doing." Beth said, " Where is Andrea?"

" Andrea went to the movies with Steve," Kelly answered, " They've become so attached to each other."

" I know David and Scott went to go play some basketball," Donna said, " What about Brandon and Dylan?"

" Brandon had to work early," Kelly answered.

" And Dylan went surfing with some friends," Brenda said.

" Surfing?" Beth asked, " I don't know if that will be something I would ever do."

" Why?" Donna asked.

" I don't swim very well," Beth answered, " In Chicago you could swim in Lake Michigan if you wanted to. There are certain areas. I miss it sometimes."

Beth then got up, " I'm going for a walk," she said, " Anyone want to join me?'

" I will," Donna said getting up, " I could use the exercise."

Donna and Beth walked down the beach and it made Kelly and Brenda wonder if there was something else bothering Beth.
