"Please remain in your seats and keep your seatbelts fastened, the pilot is ready to land."

"I am so excited Caroline to finally get a tan and not look like Casper!" Exclaimed my bestfriend Michelle. "Hello everybody, I hope you had an enjoyable trip, I directed your flight, Pilot Atpotzam. We have just arrived in Siesta Key, Florida. The current tempature is 87 degrees."

"Come on Michelle, hurry up with the beach bag we're missing the sun!" I exclaimed happily. After we got to the hotel, we changed and headed to the beach. Just then I looked up from my Seventeen magazine and there he was, the amazingly hot lifegaurd, and I was dieing to know his name.

"What are you staring at?" Michelle asked curiously. Then I pointed and her jaw dropped. "Oh baby!" she exuberated. As we were sitting down on our towels getting ready to tan, we tried not to absentmindedly stare at the very attractive lifeguard.

"Lets go over and talk to him!" said Michelle happily.

"Wait Mich, we need to make a pact that neither of us will date him because it will ruin our friendship." Then we did our secret handshake and promised each other that this boy wouldn't intrude with us being bestfriends.

Something in the corner of my eye caught my attention, so Michelle and I whipped our heads around in time to see the cute lifeguard smiling in our direction. His smile is to die for, I thought to myself.

"Hey Caroline, do you want to go for a swim?"

"No thanks, I need to work on my tan." I replied mischeiviously.

A smile was kept on my face knowing he would only look at me! I was lying on my towel in the sun when I heard splashing and screaming! I looked up and realized it was Michelle! I panicked and grabbed the cute lifeguard. "HELP HER SHE'S DROWNING!" I cried. I watched him as he dove in the water to save my best friend.

Once he dragged Michelle to the shore, I caught them whispering.

"What were you talking about?" I asked curiously.

"Oh nothing, I just thanked him," Michelle said nervously. "Also, guess what? I found out his name, Bret." We jumped up and down and giggled with glee.

We were walking back to the hotel when I said, "We can't just waste a night on vacation, let's go to the movies!"

"Well I'm still feeling a little overwhelmed from the incident today, so I think I'm just going to stay home and relax."

Later that evening I decided I would go to the movies with my mother to see a romantic comedy. I said good-bye to Michelle and walked out the hotel and down the street to the theater.

After my mom and I got settled in our seates, I got back up to get some popcorn. While I was in the lobby, I saw Bret and someone that look vaguely like Michelle. That couldn't be, shes home resting, I thought to myself. Once they finished their kiss, I went over to investigate.

I started to walk over to Bret to say thanks for saving Michelle, just as I went I realized that he was with Michelle! "Hey Michelle! What a coincidence seeing you here on such a lovely evening." I said sarcastically.

"Caroline, can I talk to you for a minute in the ladies room?" she said anxiously.

As we approched the bathroom I started saying, "So whats your story? Actually, don't even bother. Your mouth might be a little sore from your session over there."

I walked away with a snotty look on my face that made the people around me back away. I thought I was free from that backstabber, but she comes running up to me with tears in her eyes.

"Pl-pl-please Caroline let me explain! He just asked me out after he saved m-" I shushed her. "Save it Michelle, I bet you didn't even drown. Remember when we took the swim class last year? We bothed past it with flying colors, so it just proves that you care nothing about me. Have fun with your new love puppy, I'm going back home."

Her jaw dropped, but I made no attempt to comfort her. I was done. My mom saw my expression and knew that I wanted to leave, no reason needed. I planned to pack up my bags tomorrow night, so I could have a nice day to cool off.

I woke up the next morning and got dressed. Throwing a cover-up on over my bathing suit, I started to walk out the door when I remembered that I had to check to make sure that I had all my stuff ready to leave. I snuck up to our room and looked around. There was Michelle, it looked like she slept perfectly well last night. I still can't believe that she did that! So then should I do something back? Like ask him out? No, I'm not going to stoop to her level, I thought to myself.

I jogged back to the beach. I couldn't wait to get back in the sun to tan. So far the trip didn't turn out the way I thought. If I wanted to have one last day at the beach, then why should Michelle ruin it?

Later I saw Michelle walk over to Bret and start talking. They were sitting in the sand dunes and it looked like she was apologizing and telling him all about the pact. When they were done, she came over and sat next to my towel. "You know I didn't mean to hurt you. I just got tempted."

"That still doesn't make what you did right. I am leaving tomorrow you can decide what you are going to do, because I am not waiting for you anymore." I mumbled. She walked away moaning over the "friend" she lost. I just rolled over back onto my towel trying not to worrry about it. Laying out in the sun, I heard the cool waves rush up onto the shore and it helped calm my nerves. Then I saw her again. The one person in my life I used to be able to call my bestfriend, but went behind my back and crushed me emotionally.

We made eye contact quickly, and she looked at me hopefully. I turned away, because I wanted to enjoy my last day before I leave Florida, and her forever.
