A Beach Afternoon

(Beach party. Surf Lessons)

Kyle spent time teaching Justin, making sure his body was situated right on the board. He definitely wanted to let his hands linger a little on the other boy's body but not so long it would be obvious to anyone but Justin. Kyle though also didn't want to be rude to Blossom.

So, after a little while of working with Justin , Kyle asked Blossom. "Hey, would you like to start?"

Dawn had been laying out in the sun and while she saw the volleyball game start she had no interest in watching it. Still, it was getting hot outside. She thanked Kyle for the surf lessons and headed in to the girls' guest house.

(Volleyball game.)

Conner could see JD setting up for the serve. He felt so pressured at that moment. Kaylee was making a move something she had not done so far. He Just smiled "thanks Courtney you have a shirt." He hands his shirt to Kaylee she made the effort and did not want to have her look rejected. "And thank you Kaylee,d" he said with a smile flirting.

Of course, Courtney was just trying to save Conner from having to give the shirt to Kaylee if he didn't want to. So, when Conner made his decision, Courtney just smiled and nodded and went to sit down with Matt's shirt. Matt meanwhile just watched this interaction between his sister and Conner with the interest a brother, who wasn't overprotective, might have with this.

Kaylee was glad he had chosen to give her the shirt, it had been a chance, a bit of a risk but Kaylee wasn't deterred by risks. She smiled back at him, with a little flirting back, and said. "It's no problem." With Conner's shirt in hand, she sat down with the other girls. It's wasn't really that big of a deal, it was just a shirt after all, but still, it had been a move on her part. What progressed from this point forward remained to be seen.

"Serving" yelled JD. Conner ran to his position at the net.
It was a jump serve but not too hard as JD laned in the box he had a smirk on his face. Lance got to the ball easily and returned it with a bump. JD watches Lance closely. He knew he was not bad. He squarely got behind the ball. but that but can be a weakness too. as the ball came back over the net it was in JD part of the court. "Mine!" yell JD letting the other knew he had it. Conner took a few quick steps back into the side Ready to pike the ball. "Heath set high!" said JD.

Heath did just that, set high and the game proceeded back and forth. The rich kids were more of a match than Heath or Matt thought they might be, the other side wasn't winning but the game was just closer than either thought it could be. Of course, the guys playing with Lance were also all football players and that might have had something to do with it.

It was a lot of back and forth, call-outs of "Got it", spiked balls, some missed shots on both sides. They got to halftime and time to switch sides. It also let the players have a few moments to drink some water and towel off a little as they were playing in the heat of the day. Matt grabbed his water bottle and took a sip, looking around, he noticed someone coming in from the parking lot and heading towards the beach house. He went over to Courtney and said something to her, she glanced in the direction Matt had been looking and noticed Melissa and Doug coming back from wherever they had gone. Mel went straight to the girl's guest house and Doug went to the boys guest house neither. Melissa seemed alright so Courtney turned her attention back to the game.

The guys had switched sides and serve was made; the game was back on.
