We all walked over to the ice cream shop near the beach. Karl and nick were talking to each other, while Alex and Dream were. I was in front of the group walking. I studied the people at the beach. Most of them were kids. Others were couples.

The doorbell rang at the top as we walked in, meaning that we were in the store.

"Ah hello, big group of friends I asume. Having a good time are you?" The ice cream parlor said.

"Yeah, it's great." I said.

"What flavors would you like young men?"

Nick and Karl got strawberry. Alex got chocolate. I got mint and Dream got blueberry.

I stood near the cashier.

"That will be 16 dollars." The cashier said.

"Here-" Dream stepped in.

"I'll pay here." He handed the cashier the money. I walked away. The rest of us say at a table. Dream sat across from me. We would look at each other every so often.

"So, George what do you wanna do when you graduate?" Karl asked.

"We'll I don't really know to be honest."

"I wanna be a lawyer that's for sure." Alex cut in.

"We know that Alex, you say that millions of times." Nick rolled his eyes then laughed.

"What about you Dream?" Nick asked.

"I-uh." His eyes caught with mine. "I wanna find someone, that I really like. Ya know? Then we could have a family together. I think it would be great." We broke eye contact.

"I meant as a job dickhead." Nick laughed.

"My bad. I'm not sure really." Dream said.

I looked out at the sun swaying on the ocean water while the others talked. It was beautiful. Even if I can't see it's real colors.

"We should go out on the beach." I said.

So everyone did. We all laid out on the sand. I laid down by Karl looking at the ocean. Dream and Alex were talking. I had no idea where Nick was.
That was until he pulled my feet.

"Nick! What are you doing?!" I yelled.

"Taking you for a swim."

"Nick don't take me into the water!"

"Why? It's just water!"

"Because I can't swim!" I started to panic. He continued to pull me in, I couldn't get loose.

"Nick stop please!!" I screamed, as we got deeper into the water, my sweater was getting wet. I cut myself last night, so there was still fresh blood. It stung.

"Nick, put him down!" Dream yelled. The others must of noticed. My head bobbed up and down. Water got in my mouth. I thought I was gonna die, and I was so mean to Dream. I didn't even get to say sorry. I didn't even get to say that I loved him. I love him. I do. I felt my head coming above the water again. People were yelling at nick. My guess is Alex and Karl. I felt the sand as I coughed up water.
