"I'll text Charlie." I said when we were almost there.

"Okay." Belly said.

We kept walking and soon saw the fire and many people scattered around the sand. It was pretty full. We stood there first a bit overwhelmed but then a guy came up.

"Yo gas station girl!" It was the guy who flirted with Belly. "Hey. Where are you coming from."

"I need to find Charlie. Stay here." I said and let them alone. I saw my brother with other people and walked to them.

"Hey."

"Good you're here!" He gave me a beer.

"Oh hot mama, who are you?" A drunk guy with blonde hair tied up in a bun winked.

"Dude. That's my sister!!" Charlie gasped and I giggled.

The boy stepped away and laughed. "Sorry man." Still he looked at me and winked.

"So you said "we" who is we?" My brother asked me.

"Oh just Belly."

"Belly?" He frowned.

"Yeah." I nodded and in the same moment we heard Belly call her brothers name. We turned around, Steven was with a girl and didn't look happy to see his sister.

"Uhm what are you doing here? And I'm sorry. What are you wearing?"

"I invited her. Who the fuck are you?" The guy from the gas station said.

I took a sharp breath in and Charlie and I walked fast to them.

"I'm her brother. She's 15, you pedo." Steven answered and walked closer to them.

"I'm almost 16." Belly laughed, trying to solve the situation.

"Oh good lord." I mumbled.

The guy stepped away. "My bad."

"Jesus Christ Belly." Steven shook his head. He grabbed his sisters arm.

"Steven. Will you let go of me, please."

"What are you doing? Who you came with?"

"Soph. We sneaked out."

"Fuck..." I mumbled and walked to them.

Steven looked around to me but kept pulling Belly with him. "Sophie you must be kidding me."

"I'm sorry." I said.

Belly still fought against his grip and while arguing we walked through the sand. Suddenly she stumbled and fell, right in front of two people kissing. I stared at them.

"Belly?" Conrad let go of the girl and looked confused at her then his look went to me. "Sophie? You came?"

"Hi uhm..." I waved awkwardly. "Who's this?

"Who are you?" The girl talked back to me. She looked me up and down with a judging look.

"I thought you hated the Red Fox." Belly said. I turned around to her and tried to tell her to shut up.

"Excuse me?" The girl said and stared at Belly now.

"Who are you?" Belly asked.

"Nicole." She said. "Conrad and I went to the deb ball together last summer."

"Oh okay." I nodded and looked at Conrad who looked back at me.

"It was after you guys left to take Steven and Charlie to look at colleges." He said.

Before Belly could say more and make this whole situation more embarrassing I spoke. "Okay cool."

"Belly! Soph!" Jeremiah ran to us. "Great, we can all hang out, you guys." He smiled and I was glad that he loosened the tension. "Mh, you look great Soph."

"I'm about to take Belly home."Steven stepped in.

"What?" Jeremiah and I said.

"Yeah Sophie had the great idea to take my 15 year old sister here. We're leaving. Are you kidding me?"

"Okay. Steven, chill out. Come on. Go and hang out with Shayla."

"Let's go. Come on." The girl who was with him, said.

"Okay fine. Stay here and don't talk to anyone." He told his sister.

"Okay. Alright. Chill." Jeremiah said.

"Okay..." I mumbled and turned with Charlie to left them.

"Well that was a scene." He mumbled.

"Yup." I sipped my beer. "I didn't know Steven would make such a big deal and Belly would act like that. It was maybe stupid to bring her here but she was so sad and... I don't know."

"Yeah, I get it." My brother shrugged. We walked back to the group of people he was with and I talked to many. It was great. I had a great time especially with a guy named Tom.
Later the night we were sitting in the sand and talked. We talked a lot and had a lot of fun. It was like we've known us for ages.

"Are you cold?" He asked as I shivered a bit. It was colder than I thought.

"No it's fine."

"Here." He gave me his button up.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"So Charlie is your brother right?" He asked me.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"And the others are who?"

"Friends. We stay at their beach house." I gazed to Conrad and Nicole who were still together at the fire. When he and I caught eyes I looked away fast.
