The smell of strawberries and other fruity scents filled your bathroom as you showered. You’d spent the whole day at the beach with your friends, the Cobras, before they ultimately came over to spend the night. It was safe to say it’d been chaotic.

Even throughout the days events like building sandcastles, getting ice cream, and watching Dutch try to impress girls, the one constant had been Johnny by your side the entire time. It was something that always had your stomach flipping (especially when he’d applied your sunscreen). Maybe it’s just because you’d known him the longest, but you’d say you guys had the closest connection.

Once you finally got out of the shower and changed into pajamas, you were able to hear the boys chattering more clearly from down the hall. Tommy’s distinct, hyena-like laugh really stuck out, and it made you smile to yourself.

You’d just gotten your blow dryer plugged in when you heard a faint knock on the door followed by a muffled, “{{user}}? Can I come in?” which you easily recognized as Johnny.
