Shawn a bit of a scrawny 16 year old had went with some of his friends to the beach. He had suggested going to the tide pools next to the beach for a science project about the flora and fauna and how they adapted to their environment. However his three other friends/science partners had turned this into a trip to the beach without telling him.
Shawn had been dropped off in jeans and a light coat over black water tight shirt with a backpack that had a few pens and a journal to take notes in. His friends were currently at a cafe which Shawn thought "It's at the beach, but I guess it's a decent place to meet up." Then when he got to the cafe he saw his friends he sighed and thought "Of course... It was just an excuse to come to the beach wasn't it?" He had known his friends since elementary school. Emma had been cute for most of their relationship, but especially in her two piece bikini her figure was starting to fill out in good places. Drew had started bulking up a little bit as he was trying to be a football player. He was on the team but was usually on the bench most of the time. Then there was Collin who while thin did have a little bit of muscle neither being slightly bulky like Drew or as thin as Shawn was. He and Shawn had actually lived in the same neighborhood for awhile and their families had been friends for longer then they had been alive. Both had a love for thinking and while Shawn had taken his thoughts into science Collin was more scatter brained. Shawn thought Collin was smarter but got worse grades as he was always getting distracted.
Shawn sighed and said "So you're all in swimsuits... Was I the only one of us who brought a journal to take notes with?"
Emma said "Well I brought my phone to take pictures with. Wouldn't pictures be better to use then sketches?"
Shawn nodded and said "Actually yes, although be careful you don't want to drop your phone in salt water. Then why are you two guys in your trunks?" Collin was in his swimtrunks with a T-shirt on while Drew just had his trunks on.
Collin said "We're probably going to get a little wet while sketching so does it matter if i'm in my trunks now? Just gives me one less thing to think about."
Drew said "Come on let's have a little fun."
Shawn said "We need to get some data from the field! That was the point of the trip! Making observations and taking notes."
Drew stood up and said "We can just look that stuff up online!"
Shawn raised his voice a little against the only football player he had the courage to stand up to and said "That Defeats The Purpose! We Need To Do Research With Our Own Eyes Out Here!"
Emma coughed and said "Well you two... As much as I enjoy your little... discussions how about we come to a compromise. I did bring another set of trunks for Shawn considering how I imagined this would happen, but I also brought my clothes and they are in a locker and I know Drew also has a shirt along with some proper shoes instead of sandals so we can get changed to go to the rockpools and you can also change so we can have fun in the beach. So how about we..."
