as my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes,
Rachael laid on her stomach on top of a towel, eyes closed and headphones in her ears. She wore a black and blue bikini, with matching shorts. Bulky bracelets decorated her wrists. Her hair was still slightly damp from swimming earlier, and she could feel the sand stuck to her feet.
The sun didn't feel as hot anymore, and she guessed it was going to start setting soon. She should probably go back to her room soon. Should probably start doing her science project. She pushed those thoughts away and concentrated on the heat and her music. She always brought her iPod with her everywhere, and it was starting to look a little worn from all the abuse it had endured. It still worked just fine, though, and that was all she was concerned about.
Her thoughts wandered to the e mail she had received earlier in the day. Her mother occasionally liked to send little updates on life back 'home', as mother dearest liked to put it. Apparently, her younger sister Lila had come home drunk on the weekend, and was now grounded for the next two weeks. Rachael's mother was considering sending her to the academy. Rachael felt a small smile play across her lips, imagining all the trouble her younger sister would soon be up to if she came here, too. She imagined her mother's face if she knew how life here wasn't about to make their behaviour disappearing, but could, in fact, be encouraging it.

Lucy smiled as she walked down the beach. Her green bikini had purple stars randomly designing it. Blue letters and numbers read 2 cool 4 U across the bottom piece. The outfit wasn't as cute as the person wearing. The water came between the girl's toes. She was occasionally stealing a glance at the pretty face of hers. A ipod clipped to her top piece had wires running to her ears. The ear buds were playing a song with a beat that would make anyone want to dance. Her smile never faded. She spotted a girl on a beach towel. Her blue green eyes sparkled. Company was a good idea. She wouldn't mind chatting at all. She walked over, holding her hands together. Folded fingers hands behind her back, she smiled as she trotted over. "Hey there!" She stood in front of the girl who seemed to be tanning or something. anyone standing behind her could see the heart shaped scar on the back of her leg. But from the girl she was trying to talk to it couldn't be spotted in that position. Cookie cutter accident. don't trust 5 year olds with cookie cutters. Her mom had to learn that the hard way.

Rachael was so relaxed, she felt herself drifting almost to sleep. She could just barely hear the waves past her headphones. Suddenly, a chill crept up her spine as the sun was blocked from her back. She twisted her head, squinting at the girl who was now blocking her sun. She noticed the ear buds in the other girl's ears, and then took in her general appearance. Cute bathing suit, and pretty eyes. She looked younger than Rachael, but not by much. Rachael pulled an ear bud out of one ear and realized the girl must've greeted her, but she hadn't heard over the music. Offering a small smile, she sat up and said Hey. Perfect beach day, don'tya think?

Lucy laughed, her blue green eye lighting up again. "Yeah, Hi I'm Lucy!" Her friendly demeanor flowering beautifully. She realized her chosen company was actually older. Not that it mattered how old your friends were. She walked around so that she was no longer blocking the sun but standing in front of the girl. She dropped to her knees smiling. Her party song had ended and had moved on to another lively song. Lucy's blue-green eyes stole a glance at the girl again. She seemed to have ear buds to. Lucy had her music down low so she could hear her surroundings but listen to music to. "Its real nice out but I think it is getting cooler. No doubt the days gonna be ending sooner or later." Well she was noticing that the sun had already gotten to its hottest part of the day. Now it was getting cooler every minute. It was to fun for the day to end though. This day at the beach had to last.

Lucy. Rachael knew she recognized this girl. She'd seen her at the academy, but they'd never talked before. Lucy stopped blocking her sun, and was now beside her. Although Rachael wasn't usually social, she was in a good mood that day and decided to give Lucy a try. I'm Rachael, she said quietly. Lucy seemed extremely friendly, and Rachael figured that she could keep up a conversation enough so that it didn't seem like Rachael was being anti-social. Sometimes she just felt there wasn't much needed to be said.
Rachael nodded in agreement to Lucy's next statement, and glanced at the sinking sun. To her, it wasn't really the end of a day. This was when her excitement was just getting started. No need for your day to end though, I mean, there's plenty of time at night. Personally I find it more fun in the dark.
Okay, now she sounded a little like a creep. Rachael mentally shrugged, and hoped Lucy would realize she was more of a night-time person. She wondered what was going on tonight. She also wondered if Lucy was a partier. She decided to find out.
So, have you heard of anything that's going on tonight?

Lucy smiled, "Nothing planned. But if you know of a party I'm all ears. I mean I did say or later." Lucy had nothing against staying up all night. It was a very fun thing to do. Everything got much more interesting at night. The warm sun would disappear and then a party would start somewhere. "No need for the day to end for us, I guess." She glanced around curiously. She pulled her wind-blown brown hair away from her face and tucked it behind her ear. She wondered if Rachael knew of an things going on tonight. Lucy could use some fun, she had no homework. Nothing stopping her. She could party all night if she chose to. What reason to be against it anyways. Any teenager would want to party. Only fourteen and bad behavior was already sprouting. It was funny to her, a school like this was supposed to keep students in check. IT wasn't supposed to let the students party all night. Though all the students did so anyways. This was a all right place in her opinion. They had such free will here. They didn't really mind what happened. Lucy was thinking, smiling. "I guess I could make plans." She winked, showing her willingness.
