peyton  had  been  standing  here  and  waiting  for  her  order  to  be  ready  for  what  had  seemed  like  a  couple  of  minutes  now.  eyes  scanning  around  her  for  a  moment  before  turning  back  and  loosing  herself  in  her  own  thoughts  while  waiting  until  someone  else's  words  from  behind  her  had  pulled  her  out  of  them  really  quick.  "it  is  taking  far  too  long..  but  then  again..  it  is  a  morning  and  i  think  we  came  during  the  morning  rush  so  it's  a  likely  thing  to  take  longer  than  usual.  especially  when  there's  people  who  are  annoyed  in  the  morning  already.  "  she'd  respond  with  a  shrug  of  her  shoulders.  "fortunately  for  you,  i  think  the  line  is  going  down.  unless  you  feel  like  that  would  work  for  you.  or  you  can  put  on  a  good  enough  performance."

'why the hell did i come back here so early?' had been the first thought in juliana's head the second she'd woken up in one of the sundown hotel's beds. she should have gone with the initial plan to arrive back in sunnyview on the day of the reunion, yet she'd opted to come early, in the event that people she genuinely liked showed up and she needed additional time to catch up. or better yet, all of her former enemies would pop out, in all of their 'i peaked in high school' glory, she'd get to gloat about how her life had turned out. but until either happened, she needed to get her mind right.

walking into the cafe, the dominant aroma reeled her right in, as it usually did. the only thing she disliked was the length of the line to order. she knew the town was more hectic this week with so many people being home for the reunion, but for the love of whatever deity everyone was bowing to now, this lady needed her java asap. "is it just me, or is this taking far too long?" jules whined dramatically to the person standing behind her. "you think if i fake an illness i'll get to skip to the front of the line?"

sienna  had  been  looking  for  a  book  that  she  would've  been  able  to  bring  with  her  on  her  beach  trips.  luckily,  she  had  been  into  mystery  books.  not  so  much  fantasy  ones  as  she  felt  like  those  could  confuse  her.  she  took  a  step  closer  with  her  arms  crossed  over  her  chest  as  she  did  so.  she'd  been  quite  uncertain  and  indecisive  on  the  books  that  she  was  debating  about  picking  up.  she  had  some  recommendations  for  a  few  but  making  the  decisions  always  proved  to  be  the  toughest  part  of  all  of  this.  "it's  almost  like  you've  read  my  mind  or  something.  not  so  much  into  the  fantasy...  i  have  to  really  be  in  search  of  a  series  to  want  to  start  anything  with  the  topic.  but  i  do  just  so  happen  to  be  more  into  the  mystery  and  thriller  side  of  things,  you  can't  go  wrong  there."

Maximiliano had found a quiet corner in the bookshop where he had a small collection of six or seven books on a table to look through and figure out he was going to buy. He may not look it but besides working out and cars, he loved to read. There was not a book, particularly a mystery, fiction, fantasy, or sci-fi and sometimes a combinations of those genres, he could not read cover to cover in like what felt like a day. sometimes he wondered if that is a field he could have gotten into but he loved his job too much to do anything else. He saw someone eyeing his stack of books and normally he would had grunted to them but he wondered if they were curious. "Are you interested in one of these? I don't know which one i want yet but if you want one, i can give it to you." max looked at the other. "they're' mysteries and some fantasy novels, I think." He said, holding up a copy of a book. "I'm debating which one to get. So I thought I would try and see them in person but i fear it just created a dilemma."

"what's  actually  even  happened?"  peyton  asked  with  curiosity  that  could  very  easily  be  sensed  within  her  tone  of  voice  when  she  heard  the  other.  she'd  just  grabbed  her  ice  cream  cone  and  decides  to  take  a  bite  of  it  while  standing  so  it  didn't  end  up  melting  all  over  her.  never  really  having  the  best  luck  when  it  came  to  cones  anyway,  so  these  had  to  be  eaten  quickly.  "what's  the  difference  between  working  here  and  at  the  cafe?  both  places  can  get  somewhat  loud  so  it's  not  like  you're  really  guaranteed  too  much  peace  around  here  as  it  is,  you  know?  but  for  your  sake,  i  hope  it  had  saved.  otherwise,  that  really  would  suck.  as  for  if  ice  cream  can  make  everything  better?  there's  no  doubt  about  it."

"This... is the worst thing that's ever happened to me." Izel said as she watched her laptop began act out as she sat at a table in the shop. normally she would have decided to work from home but today's weather was beautiful and since returning she had been craving an ice cream. so here she sat as her laptop decided to have a meltdown and in turn she was going to start stressing. "is this what i get for wanting to work here instead of at the cafe? i forgot my charger and now all I can hope is it saved what i just wrote for the article. you think ice cream might make everything better?"

"oh,  no.  it's  fine,  you  didn't  ruin  it.  i've  gotten  a  few  bad  shots  that  i  kind  of  just  wanted  to  redo  over  again."  this  was  for  something  she  had  been  making  in  order  to  show  off  her  photography  skills  so  that  she  could've  gotten  some  more  clients.  "you  did...  i  mean  i  have  one  with  the  back  of  my  head.  i  can  show  it  to  you,  if  you'd  like.  and  nothing  too  major,  just  something  for  my  photography  business.  trying  to  get  it  off  the  ground  a  little  more,  you  know?"

Tae-young had been so engrossed in his phone that he hadn't realized he was in her shot. "shit sorry, i ruined it huh?" he said as he scurried quickly to the side. "i mean did i make in the shot or what you shooting for?" his curiosity getting the best of him.

peyton  had  been  trying  to  do  her  usual  grocery  stock  up  for  the  week  when  she  realized  she  had  practically  collided  into  another  person  while  trying  to  be  in  and  out  with  her  shopping  today.  usually  it  takes  her  a  little  longer  to  make  sure  all  the  items  on  her  list  were  collected.  "oh,  no,  it's  alright.  looks  like  the  both  of  us  weren't  paying  much  attention  and  i'm  assuming  that's  what's  bound  to  happen  when  you  aren't.  i'm  pretty  sure  that  i'm  fine  but  i  appreciate  the  concern!"

"and  now  you're  aware.  not  very  many  people  are  able  to  sense  sarcasm  anymore,  i  suppose."  sienna  hadn't  even  been  remotely  very  serious  but  people  seem  to  think  she  was  when  that  was  the  furthest  from  the  truth.  she  genuinely  didn't  care  as  long  as  she  wasn't  being  bothered  to  much.  "yes..  maybe  so.  i don't mind blocking out all the other noise around me. but  who  really  wants  to  have  to  deal  with  obnoxious  loud  music  on  the  beach  when  you're  just  trying  to  relax?"  her  glasses  adjust  back  down  on  her  eyes  to  block  out  the  brightness  of  the  sun.

                “  oh,    i'm  sorry.    wasn't  aware  i  was  suppose  to  be  asking  for  your  permission  first,  ”    despite  her  words,    there's  a  hint  of  a  smile  on  her  face  that  shows  there's  a  lack  of  hostility  in  her  voice.    body  plops  down  onto  her  own  beach  chair,    head  leaning  back  as  the  heat  from  the  sun's  ray  melt  against  her  skin.    the  first  semblance  of  alone  she's  gotten  the  entire  week    —    well  ...  almost  alone.    thankfully,    mimi  doesn't  really  mind  sienna's  company  all  that  much.    “  wouldn't  this  be  like,    the  best  time  for  blasting  music?    the  louder  it  is,    the  less  you'll  pay  attention  to  everything  around  you    ...    including  me.  ”

"sorry..  but  you're  sort  of  in  my  way."  peyton  motioned  towards  her  camera,  her  attention  landing on  the  other  person  as  she  was  checking  out  a  few  of  the  photos  that  she  had  already  taken  moments  prior.  "i've  got  some  work  to  do  over  here...  so,  if  you  wouldn't  mind."

talk  about  what  could've  ended  up  being  such  an  embarrassing  situation.  eye's widen at first at the mention of it. leading her to immediately glance down. peyton  hadn't  even  been  aware  until  she  heard  a  voice  alert  her.  looking  down  she  noticed  that  there  indeed  was.  and  she  stopped  for  a  second  to  remove  it.  "gosh,  thank  you!  that  could've  got  so  much  more  awkward."  luckily  she'd  told  her  about  it  sooner  rather  than  later.  moving  around  to  the  other  side  of  the  blonde  to  take  a  sit  while  debating  on  if  she  was  going  to  end  up  ordering  something  as  her  eyes  was  scanning  the  menu  in  front  of  her.  "if you care, my name's peyton." unsure if the other was even up for a conversation.

manicured fingers rest upon  the  rim  of the  glass , mind absent from the busy scenery of the bar as she's going through her mistakes following today's match . sure , she won ( per usual ) but that didn't mean she didn't succumb to her self - deprecating behaviour . pulled back in reality by a bartender asking if she needs a refill , alana's attention is captured by the person standing by her , seemingly unaware of the fact they're drawing attention by others after exiting the bathroom . now , alana could've ignored it ( she perhaps would any other given day ) but there's something about the situation that irks her enough to speak . “ there's a piece of toilet paper stuck on your shoe , “

when  she  wasn't  at  the  beach  she  would  prefer  to  be  anywhere  else  that  had  an  air  conditioner  at  least.  so  her  sister  wasn't  wrong  when  it  had  came  to  that.  summer  was  her  favorite  season  and  it  was  no  secret  that  sienna  could  not  wait  for  it.  "for  my  sister?  no,  you  definitely  don't  need  my  permission  to  join  me  out  here."  she  rolled  her  eyes  and  as  that  seemed  so  dreadful.  she  would've  needed  her  headphones  to  cancel  out  the  loudness  of  that  music.  "i'm  begging  you  to  please  not...  if  i  wanted  to  wake  up  i  would've  got  myself  an  espresso  and  that  would've  really  woke  me  up."  the  mention  of  the  reunion  made  her  think  about  if  she  really  was  about  to  attend  this  thing.  it  sounded  like  a  mess  but  there  was  no  way  she  couldn't  go.  "so  i've  heard...it  sounds  like  one  big  mess  waiting  to  happen,  doesn't  it?"

it's  one  of  those  days  where  being  anywhere  other  than  the  beach  (  or  under  an  air  conditioner  )  is  the  only  option  in  town  to  actually  cool  down  with  summer  right  around  the  corner.  with  a  beach  towel  in  one  hand  &  a  bag  in  other  ,  it's  not  hard  to  find  her  sister  in  their  favourite  spot  overlooking  the  water  ,  a  brow  elegantly  raising  upon  her  initial  enquiry  .   “  don't  remember  asking  for  your  permission  ,  “   she's  quick  to  reply  with  a  small  shrug  ,  tone  matching  the  other's  playful  energy  as  she  places  the  towel  down  .  ”  well  ,  that's  too  bad  …  i  was  about  to  play  some  edm  to  wake  us  up  ,  “   it's  a  joke  ,  one  that  only  her  sister  would  get  considering  how  long  it  takes  alana  to  actually  crack  a  smile  .   ”  so  ,  about  that  reunion  …  "

sienna  probably  should've  looked  to  have  seen  if  there  was  a  closed  sign  before  walking  into  the  place.  clearly  the  other  had  been  busy  having  a  dance  party  when  she  came  in.  a  slight  laugh  as  she  recognized  the  song  that  was  playing  through  the  speakers.  "oh,  right.  sorry.. guess i missed the closed sign.  i  can  always  come  back  a  different  day.  when  are  you  usually  opened?  and  won't  have  to  have  your  little  dance  parties  walked  in  on?"

sienna  liked  to  think  that  she  could  be  intimidating  at  times.  when  she  wanted  to  be  or  felt  like  she  had  to  be.  but  the  fact  that  he  didn't  seem  to  think  she  was  at  all  made  her  laugh  a  little.  did  that  mean  that  she  was  trying  too  hard  or  something?  she  tried  to  maintain  her  popularity  status  but  it  had  easily  went  downhill  since  it  all  ended,  as  it  usually  does.  when  she  saw  him  approaching,  cue  a  playful  roll  of  her  eyes  now.  "pointless  yapping?  maybe  that's  what  you  think?  but  i  don't  happen  to  think  so.  just trying  to  enjoy  a  little  bit  of  the  peace  and  quiet where i can."  her  features  now  formed  into  a  glare  as  she  stared  at  andre  for  a  minute.  "what's  wrong  with  sitting  out  here  and  reading  a  book?  that  doesn't  make  me  old.  that  makes  me  focused.  and  i'm  determined  to  finish  this  since  i'm  only  a  few  chapters  into  this.  i  will  say.. i  could  go  for  a  marg  right  about  now.  and  hey!  how  am  i  boring?  i  am  the  furthest  thing  from  boring,  i'll  have  you  know!"

having given himself the day off, dre needed to kill some time before he went to meet up with an old friend later, so that was how he found himself down at the beach. there was usually always someone there he knew, or someone he could talk into chugging down beers and seeing how the day unfolded, so he figured why the hell not. luckily for him, he didn't have to go far before he spotted sienna's little set up, which was far too cute for just one person to enjoy alone. approaching her, he couldn't help but chuckle at her words, which were so far from intimidating that he didn't even let her finish before he dropped down to the spot next to her. "that was a lot of pointless yapping, si si." dre teased, reaching over to playfully swat at her arm. "i thought only old people sat out here and read a book? you're supposed to be listening to loud music, drinking a beer or a marg, and having fun. since when did you turn into a boring old bitty?"

[notthatcomplicatcd]

"woah.  remind  me  to  never  piss  you  off.  again."  she  didn't  seem  to  be  intimidating  to  sienna  at  all.  "you  know...  i'm  just  saying.  there  is  a  whole  beach  and  yet  you  choose  the  spot  right  next  to  me.  you  could  have  a  whole  spot  to  yourself."  all  she  wanted  to  do  was  get  some  peace  and  quiet  but  that  was  least  likely  to  happen.  "am  i?  why  thank  you.  i  like  to  think  i  be  comical  when  i  want  to  be."  there  was  pure  sarcasm  that  was  now  echoing  out  of  her  tone.  "  a  raise  of  her  eyebrow  soon  followed  as  she  just  had  to  find  something  to  play  out  loud  on  a  speaker.  funnily  enough  that  she'd  actually  have  on  hand.  the  only  thing  she  was  able  to  do  now  was  fully  tune  it  out.  it  took  everything  in  her  to  not  want  to  take  that  speaker  and  toss  it  into  the  ocean.  "let's  hope  you  don't  get  complaints  from  anyone  else  that  walks  by  to  wear  whatever  horrible  songs  those  are."

"did i ask you if you wanted company?" savannah asked, a look of pure disgust on her face at the pure audacity of the question thrown at her. what does a girl have to do to get some fucking peace and quiet in this damn town? that even the beach is now apparently owned by someone who apparently thinks she's more important than she actually is. "you're hilarious," savannah said, a deadpan look on her face once she finally settled down on her towel. she then looked sienna right in the eyes as she decided to play the most horrifying, ear-piercing rock song that was on her recently searched for on spotify, solely by pure luck. "i don't remember asking for your fucking permission."

beach  days  were  her  favorite  once  the  time  of  year  had  came  along.  the  smell  of  the  ocean,  the  fresh  air,  the  sound  of  the  waves  crashing  against  the  shore,  the  birds  chirping,  the  boats  out  far  into  the  sea,  it  was  all  just  such  a  relaxing  view.  "call  it...  being  hopeful.  or  wishful  thinking  or  whatever."  responding  with  a  quick  shrug  of  her  shoulders.  "that  won't  be  the  first  time  that's  happened  to  me  while  i've  been  here.  and  honestly?  i  doubt  it'll  be  the  last  either."  planning  to  finish  this  book  and  then  maybe  end  up  going  for  a  swim  afterwards.  sienna  would  put  her  glasses  back  down  over  her  face  once  more.  "that's  not  half  as  annoying  as  having  to  listen  to  people  shout  or  yell  for  simply  no  reasoning  at  all.  especially  when  you're  just  wanting  to  focus."

it  was  too  nice  of  a  day  for  cara  to  be  sitting  at  home.  especially  when  it  all  felt  stuffy  and  suffocating.  her  mother  was  off  on  another  bender  and  well  she  didn't  want  to  be  the  one  to  be  picking  up  the  pieces.  not  today  at  least.  instead,  she  found  herself  picking  a  spot  at  the  beach  with  a  drink  in  hand,  notebook  and  pen  in  her  bag  and  time  to  herself.  she  heard  a  voice  nearby  as  she  took  a  sip  of  her  drink.  “and  how  do  you  know  i  would  have  even  said  yes  if  you  asked,”  she  teased.  “oh  i  plan  on  playing  music  so  loud  you  won't  be  able  to  hear  yourself  think.”  it  was  a  joke,  mostly.  more  so  she  would  be  humming  toons  and  melodies  more  than  playing  actual  music.  “kidding.  but  i'll  warn  that  i  won't  be  completely  quiet.  i'm  working  on  stuff  and  i  tend  to  think  out  loud  so  if  that  will  bother  you,  i'd  suggest  you  move.”

it  wouldn't  be  sienna  if  she  didn't  have  the  whole  entire  set  up  going.  everyone  who  knew  her  knew  that  she  liked  to  go  all  out  with  things  when  she  could.  was it over the top? possibly. she considered it relaxing and liked having all she needed in one place. taking  her  beach  days  pretty  seriously  as  it  was  a  form  of  relaxation  for  her  right  now.  "make  sure  you  do  it  in  like  two  days  in  advance  then  so  that  i  can  prepare  accordingly."  was  she  partially  kidding?  mostly.  her  thriller  novel  had  been  getting  to  be  pretty  good  and  at  the  best  part  it's  ever  been  at  so  she  clearly  didn't  want  to  be  disturbed  too  much  to  where  she  would've  been  distracted.  "you're  so  welcome!  see...  i  like  to  think  that  i  can  be  quite  generous.  despite  what  others  may  seem  to  think."

tommy  had  only  just  dropped  his  canvas  chair  into  the  sand ,  a  little  ways  off ,  when  the  voice  came  floating  over .  he  glanced  over  the  rim  of  his  sunglasses,  catching  the  sight  of  sienna  reclining  like  she  owned  the  damn shoreline .  of  course  she  had  the  whole  production :  a  towel ,  parasol ,  and  accessories  …  the  whole works  !  “ righttttt , ” tomas  said  dryly ,  the  word  curling  with  sarcasm . “ next  time  i’ll  make  sure  to  file  a  request  in  advance. ”  he  set  his  book  -  a  very worn  hardcover  on  forensic  entomology  -  gently onto  his  lap ,  then  gave  her  a  long  look ,  his  brow  ticking  up  ever  so  slightly  at  her  closing  remark .  “ you’ll  allow  it ? ”  he  repeated  slowly ,  as  if  trying  the  phrase  on  for  size .  leaning  back  in  his  chair ,  fawn-coloured  hues  flicked  briefly  toward  the  horizon . “ thanks  for  the  hospitality ,  sweetheart . ”

it  usually  wasn't  much  of  a  shock  to  find  sienna  out  at  the  beach  either.  summertime  usually called  for  either  a  really  good  beach  day  or  even  a  pool  day.  the  summer  season  was  always  the  best  time  of  the  year  in  her  eyes.  while  she  didn't  quite  know  the  basics  of  surfing  or  doing  anything  like  that  she  had  watched  a  few  people  try  it  out  here  and  there.  and  that  alone  had  made  her  want  to  try  and  end  up  doing  it  for  herself one of these days. even if she was the least coordinated with it and would end up falling into the water a bunch of times.

  she  could  sense  that  she  had  practically  startled  the  other  person  when  she  realized  he'd  been  deeply  involved  and  focused  in  whatever  had  captured  his  attention.  "oh?  i  had  no  idea  that  you  had  lived  over  here.  if  that's  the  case,  then  i'd  say  yeah,  probably. that would make sense. i'm  not  much  of  a  troublemaker,  if  that  helps."  giving  him  a  nod  of  her  head  as  she  set  the  book  down  on  her  lap  while  speaking.  "have  to  say  it's  getting  to  be  really  good.  the  beginning  of  it  was  a  little  slow  and  now  it's  getting  better.  the  goal  is  to  finish  it  today,  but  that's  hoping  i  won't  have  any  other  distractions."

it  wasn't  a  shock  to  find  tristan  at  the  beach,  at  least  to  him  it  wasn't.  most  would  assume  he  didn't  leave  oceanside  reads  considering  how  much  fucking  time  he  spent  there,  but  he  had  a  life  outside  of  it...  or  well,  he  thought  so.  even  if  that  life  was  only  a  few  steps  away  from  his  home,  he  still  considered  it  a  life. for  once  though,  he  was  not  on  the  beach  to  surf.  instead,  he's  got  his  notebook  tucked  under  one  arm  and  a  towel  under  the  other,  hoping  to  camp  out  a  few  meters  away  from  the  doom  and  gloom  of  the  moore  residence.  not  wishing  to  have  it  loom  over  him  as  he  tried  to  write  a  happy  ending. in  his  own  world,  tristan  truly  does  not  notice  the  other  person.  not  until  their  voice  filters  through  his  ears  and  his  soul  jumps  out  of  his  skin  with  a  sharp  gasp.  her  tone  doesn't  alarm  him,  rather  he's  used  to  people  speaking  toward  him  that  way,  so  he  just  shrugs,  "i  mean—"  tristan  starts,  turning  his  head  to  point  at  the  little  seaside  shack  he  had  called  home  for  thirty-two  years,  "you're  kinda  in  front  of  my  house,  so  maybe  i  should  be  the  one  allowing  your  company?"  he's  trying  to  be  funny,  a  silly  smile  curving  up  the  corners  of  his  lips,  "i  promise  though,  no  loud  music."  tristan's  eyes  draw  to  the  book  in  her  hand  while  he  sets  his  own  stuff  down,  "how  are  you  liking  it?"

[notthatcomplicatcd]

sienna  had  a  whole  set  up  on  the  beach  today.  beach  towel,  sunglasses, beach bag, book,  umbrella  with  an  ice  cold  water  in  her  hand.  it  was  a  hot  one  today  and  the  last  thing  she  wanted  to  be  was  indoors  with  nothing  fun  to  do.  she'd  consider  this  as  her  quiet  time.  manicured fingers now moving her glasses  down  over  her  nose  halfway when  she  noticed  someone  not  too  far  of  a  distance  away  from  her.  "you  know..  if  i  wanted  company  i  would've  just  simply asked,  right ?"  a  raise  of  her  eyebrow  followed  her  wording  before  a  playful  laugh.  "oh..  don't  worry  i'm  kidding.  as  long  as  you're  not  planning  on  blasting  loud  music  from  your  speaker  while  you're  next  to  me..." yes, she's had that happen to her before. "i'll  allow  it."
