Beach

[Ai Meng]

Luka dipped a toe into the ocean to test the water.
C-cold! She stuttered as she pulled away. The beach was very crowded, but Luka had somehow managed to find a spot to set up a beach blanket and umbrella.

It's no fun swimming alone. Luka mumbled to herself as she lay on her towel. She had packed a volleyball, picnic basket and sunscreen but had no one to share it with. She wondered if her friends would be able to find her in the crowd. If not maybe she'd have to make friends with someone new on the beach.
