Summary: Random day at a modeling shoot. I was bored and I had gone to the beach that day. Just fluff.

Fun in the Sun
Schuyler POV
I really hate calculus.
Do I really need to know how to find the integer of a square root in everyday life?
No
I heard Lawrence chuckle from downstairs.
Stupid mind reading powers.
It was near the end of the year, so classes were starting to wind down. The familiar sound of my phone ringing pulled out of my thoughts.
I picked it up.
"Hello Schuyler, this is Jonas Jones. Remember me from Stitched for Civilizations?" the familiar voice said.
"Hey-" I said just before I was cut off.
"So, there was a last minute cancelation with a few of my models. Freak jet ski accident, I'm afraid. Were doing a shoot in the Hamptons, you see, and we desperately need someone to fill in for them
and we want you to be one of those people. How does that sound?"
I sat there for a few seconds processing that information. The Hamptons were only about an hour away, I have no plans this weekend, and frankly I could use the cash.
"When should I be there?"
I sat in my room on the computer. Bored out of my mind. Most of my friends had left for break or were busy and it was too early to go into town.
My phone started ringing. I went over to my desk and picked it up.
"Hey Jack. It's Jonas Jones."
Julius drove me all the way to the Hamptons after a lot of pleading, bribing and embarrasing myself. He pulled up to the shoot. It was in front if a cute, white washed cottage. Ash met me at the entrance.
"Schuyler!" she cried, kissing me on both cheeks.
She ushered me into a large white tent. The stylists each gave me a once over and went to work. Ash smiled and left with a "good luck!"
I guess the theme was Cape Cod-ish type clothes.
I was put in a white linen summer dress. The halter neck had turquoise beading. I was barefoot and my hair was loose.
"Schuyler?" a familiar voice asked.
I whirled around to see Bliss standing in the entryway of the tent. She rushed in and hugged me.
"Last minute thing?" She guessed. I nodded.
"Same." she said as she sat down in the makeup chair. "And someone else we know is here." she said with a smirk. Well, I think it was a smirk but it was hard to tell with the makeup artist working on her.
Ash came in to bring me to the set.
There, in front of the cottage stood Jack Force in a loose white linen shirt and navy blue khakis.
Not again. I thought to myself.
He had a surprised smile on his face when he turned and saw me.
I smiled at him, hoping he couldn't tell that there were butterflies in my stomach.
I moved over to him and it looked like we were both waiting for the other to talk first. But then Jonas saved us from the awkward moment.
"Ok, Jack you need to hold Sky's hand and, you Sky, need to be holding your sandals as you walk. Action!" he yelled.
We did what we were told because Jonas is kind of scary when he gets irritated. Just as the shoot was ending Bliss walked out in a tan dress. She smirked when she saw Jack and I holding hands.
"Oh no, we-" I stared, letting go of Jack's hand. But Jonas gave me a death glare over the lense of his camera. I quickly hurried back to the set.
I sighed. It's going to be a long weekend.
Later on, Bliss and I went to our shared hotel room. We dropped off our bags and got changed into more comfortable clothes. I grabbed a pair of shorts and a tank. The rest of the crew was going down to the
beach. It was getting warm enough to swim. Music was playing and you could hear the talking and laughter from our balcony. We walked down to see Jonas, Jack and a few other guys from the shoot playing poker. Jack was raking in the chips while Ash and a few other models were at the bar. We laughed when we saw Jonas's expression as Jack cleaned him out of money. Jack stood up with a laugh, tossing the chips back at Jonas and went to sit on the hammock nearby.
Bliss nudged for me to go with him.
I blushed and shook my head. "Why not? It's just us here. We're not at school or anywhere near Mimi." she reasoned. She nudged me one more time before turning her attention to another model.
I got up shyly and walked over to the hammock. He had his hands behind his head and his Yankees cap over his eyes. He didn't hear me coming.
"Hey" I said softly.
He opened one eye. Once he saw it was me he moved his cap and sat up so he could see better.
"Hey, stranger." He said with a grin.
I'm suprised my knees didn't give out.
He patted the seat next to him, motioning for me to sit. I sat shyly, leaning against him.
We sat in comfortable silence, just watching the waves.
His hand slid into mine, holding on firmly. I smiled and leaned onto his shoulder. We sat there until the sun started to go down. A bunch of the boys were going to go out in the water. He got up and kissed me on the cheek before getting up to follow them. I went to sit with Bliss with a goofy smile still on my face.
"Hello Juliet" Bliss said smirking.
I rolled my eyes and pushed her playfully. We watched the boys splash in the waves, attempting to learn how to wake board. I laughed as Jonas fell off his board, taking Jack down with him. Jack heard me laughing and walked over. He held his arms open. He grabbed me, soaking me completely. He shook out his wet hair, spraying Bliss. We shrieked, pushing him away. Everyone was coming back out now. Ash and a few members of the crew had lit a bonfire in front of the shoot tents. Everyone sat around talking and laughing. Jonas and Perfection started telling jokes, of course each one was worse than the next.
I sighed contently.
All of the troubles in the committee and at school seemed very far away all of a sudden. It felt like we were one big -very strange - family. I finally felt at ease and accepted with a group of people.
But isn't that what were all after?
Review please!
