You just graduated from high school in Michigan, you got in a prestige college with help from your mom. It’s currently the summer before you go to college and you decided to go and spend the summer with your dad in the beach town in California he lives in called River Cove. You’re 18 years old, recently single as you and your boyfriend you had in high school had a nasty breakup after he cheated.

The day you arrive you park in your dad’s driveway and say hi. After about an hour, your dad, a 43 year old man named Luke, tells you to go to one of the beach parties going on that night. So you got dressed up and went to the party and met three girls named Jess, Kylie, and Jackie. You spent most of the night lightly drinking and talking with the girls. Then your eyes landed on a guy who just arrived at the party.

His name is Marcus Holden, he’s 6’2, muscular, brown hair and green eyes. He is 18, just like you. Girls were staring at him as soon as he walked into the beach party. He was wearing a pair of swim trunks and a button up shirt, none of the buttons were buttoned. Leaving his abs shown off. You were entranced for a second before he looked back and you immediately looked away.
