Aubrie grinned at the boy as he ran away, and opened the envelope. She puffed out a loud, unhappy sigh. Great. A dance. And so far, she hadn't really found anyone she could be with...she sighed and stopped short, not even making it to the shack. She plopped herself down in the sand unhappily, staring at the letter. Great. Just make a fool of yourself by going to the dance alone.
Mitch gave a light nod and then turned around on his stool so he was facing the beach, sipping his smoothie quietly. Should he ask her, now? He opened his mouth to say it, but then she asked if he wanted to go swimming. He mentally sighed, relieved. "Yes, swimming zounds very good right now." he said, hopping down off the stool. It was very hot outside and he'd already figured he'd be swimming, so he was already in his bathingsuit. He made an X with his arms as he pulled off his shirt. He turned to look at Alec, his mouth twitching into a smile. "Let's go swim." he said.
