i had changed into a hot pink tank top and a pair of comfy grey shorts. i couldn't be bothered to brush my hair so i just left it down.

"does it look like i'm making an effort?" i turned around from looking at the mirror. she was laying on her stomach, scrolling on her phone. she looked up and began to say something but then stopped.

"i don't know what the right answer is to that" she weakly smiled. "you look nice. like not to underdressed" she said.

"thanks" i sat on the edge of her bed, next to her and put on my trainers and grabbed my phone. sherri got up and started digging into her purse trying to find something, eventually pulling out gum and handed it to me.

"take some now" she said smiling. i mumbled a thanks and put it into my short pocket.

"i'm gonna go now" i announced, walking to the door and checking my reflection in every mirror in our room. ri let out a long bye and i opened the door only to be met face to face with trevor. i jumped a little and started to laugh.

"oh my gosh don't do that" i softly slapped him arm while he was laughing.

"sorry, i forgot to text you that i was going to come here" he smiled. ri heard him at the door and appeared next to me with her arm around my shoulder.

you're not going to steal my little dotty away from me are you?" she dramatically gasped. i crept out of her arm and stood next to trevor instead.

"i'm afraid i am" he replied smiling down at me. she huffed and shook her head.

"okay we're leaving now" i spoke up, hoping to leave before she could say anything embarrassing.

"uh you need a swim suit, do you have one on underneath?" he asked. i did not.

"oh i don't let me quickly pop one on" i said walking back into my room and grabbing the closest swimming costume to me. which means i left sherri talking to trevor about goodness knows what. great. i had never changed quicker than i did that night. i drastically checked my reflection on the bathroom mirror before leaving it. i walked out and sherri and trevor suddenly stopped talking.

"ooh no don't let me ruin your conservation" i said jokingly, smiling at the both of them. i went and stood beside trevor once again, saying goodbye to sherri.

"don't do anything i wouldn't do" she whisper shouted to us as we were walking away, which made us laugh.

"sooo"

"soo"

"where are we off to?" i asked, realising i had no idea where we were actually going.

"the beach" trevor replied.

"ahh that explains the swimming costume" i nodded.

"-suit"

"what?" i questioned.

"it's a swim suit, not a costume-" i cut him off, not letting him get away with this one.

"don't get me started" i said, walking out of the lift and into the lobby.

on our way down to the beach, we talked about what happened at dinner. trevor said his parents seemed to really like me, especially his mother.

we had gotten to the coast and the sand was getting into my shoes so i took my shoes off. as i stood on one foot, trying to get my shoe off, trevor held my free hand to steady me. i uttered a thanks as we continued to walk down the sandy beach.

"this is nice for a change" i spoke.

"what is?"

"the sand. back home we mostly have pebble sea sides, not sand" we eventually sit down on the warm sand besides each other. "and whenever i go in the sea, which is not often, the pebbles are always boiling hot walking back to my towel. so hot that i almost burn my feet." i rambled on. "and don't even get ne started on the seaweed. the smell makes me gag. and i'm warning you, if a tiny bit of seaweed touches my body i am running out of the sea" i explained, making trevor laugh.

"it's just that-" i paused, realising how long i'd been going on for. "sorry i haven't given you any chance to talk. i've only just realised how much i've blabed on about." i smiled weakly, which made him smile as well.

"it's okay dotty i could listen to you talk forever" he mumbled, starting into my eyes. i felt my cheeks flush.

"thanks" i mentally slapped myself. gosh dot why are you so dry.

trevor stood up and held out his hand. "c'mon let's go in the ocean"
