Sam Dullard grabbed a pair of jeans out of his dresser, threw them on, along with a grey t-shirt, and looked into the mirror. At sixteen, he hardly resembled his nine year old self that moved to Ocean Shores. He lost all the baby fat and, while he was still bulky, he was in great shape and stood at 5'9. His blonde hair was still cut short, and his blue eyes were extremely noticeable after he traded in his glasses for contacts when he was fifteen.

There was a knock at his door just as he finished putting on his white vans. "Sammy, you have company." He heard his mom call. "Alright, thanks." He headed downstairs and out the front door where one of his best friends, Maurice "Twister" Rodriguez, stood there holding his skateboard and wearing his helmet with a grin. "Twister, was the tallest of the group. Standing at 5 '11, he had a tan athletic body. His orange hair went down behind his ears, and was a little longer on top, going over his eyes slightly if not tucked under the hat he normally wore.

"Yo Sam what's up?" Twister asked with a grin. "My cousin Alex just got here this morning so we were just hanging out." "It's cool your cousin gets to live with you until school is over." "What are you telling people Sammy?" A voice came from in the house behind Sam. He moved out of the way and out walked a girl with long wavy dark blonde hair, and sparkling green eyes. In her faded form fitting jeans and ruched short sleeve red shirt, she looked like a model. When he saw her, Twister's eyes widened. The girl walked out the open front door and bumped Sam's shoulder with a laugh.

"Alex this is Twister, Twister, this is my cousin Alex." "Whoa! You're related to the squid?" Alex looked at Sam with a grin. "Squid?" "Don't ask." He groaned, making Alex giggle. "I was gonna see if you wanted to hit the shack for some burgers and chili cheese fries." Sam looked at Alex. "You wanna see the shack?" "Sure." She grabbed her purse from right inside the door. Sam stuck his head in the door, grabbed his skateboard and helmet, and hollered; "Hey mom, me and Alex are going to the shack with Twister." "Ok honey. Tell Tito hello for me." "Ok." Sam pulled the door shut and turned to Twister. "You ready?" "We're gonna have to walk, Lars has my dad's truck." "We could just take mine." Alex told him, pulling out her keys and walking to the white SUV parked in front of the house. "Here Sam, you drive." She said tossing him the keys and climbing into the front passenger seat.
