If
Amy had to name one thing she hated about Huntington beach, it would be the never dying sunlight that constantly basked the beach town in an everlasting heat. As she rested against the woodwork of the boardwalk she pulled her sunglasses down over her eyes and fished for her pack of cigarettes in her back pocket, pulling a "cancer stick" or at least that's what her mother called them, from the packaging with her lips. She cupped her hand around the flame of her lighter and inhaled deeply. The nicotine vibrated in her veins, and the smoke filled her lungs, only to disappear into the hot air around her as she blew it free.
She was waiting for her long time boyfriend, five years to be exact, Jimmy Sullivan to pick her up. Why he had chosen the boardwalk to meet , she couldn't tell you. For someone who had grown up by the beach, and in eternal summer, she despised it. She longed for the cooler weather of the east coast.She day dreamed of snow and falling leaves, only to awake to sun rays and sand. She held her cigarette between two fingers, and watched the tourist pass by. It wasn't the type of people so much as how many people inhabited California that rubbed Amy the wrong way.
She was currently waiting for Jimmy and the rest of the guys to drive by so she could go with them to some meeting. They were looking for a photographer for their band. It was relatively new, they had an album. The lead singer was her brother Mathew, or Matt as he preferred to be called, but she'd always call him Mathew, if only to irritate him. They were twins, and no one ever failed to remind them just how alike they could be. At least as far as physical appearances went. They were both beautiful,and both sarcastic. While Matt was a little bit more cocky, Amy was more quiet. Alike but different they were. She had asked him that morning why he wouldn't give her a ride, he had said he wanted to stop by some shops to buy new clothes. She had only rolled her eyes, it wasn't like the photo shoot was that day.
Amy inhaled another shot of nicotine and threw her head back to push the smoke away. She was growing slightly impatient. She wasn't sure how she felt about the band gaining a photographer. When they first started she was sure they wouldn't make it out of the garage. But then people started liking their music. Not that she blamed them, the band was great. But, Amy was slightly fearful of how even a smudge of fame would effect the guys. They were all great, but all had major ego issues.
She sighed heavily, and dropped her useless cig to the ground and squished it into the wood with her shoe, preventing any potential fire hazard. Placing her hands on the rail behind her she continued waiting. They had to be coming soon, the meeting was in twenty minutes.Not that punctuality had ever been their strong suit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Matt had finally decided on an outfit, after much rushing and complaint from the rest of the guys. He was sure Amy was having a bitch fit, and had probably smoked about five cigarettes by now. But he wanted to look good for the photographer. He had heard it was a chick.
"Dude, she better be fine." Brian had called from the backseat of Jimmy's car. They were on their way to pick of Matts twin sister, and thorn in his side. They had been practically inseparable since birth. Not that he didn't absolutely adore her, but she was always there. He often compared her to one of those fish that lives on the backs of sharks. It pissed her off, the main reason he did it.
"All I know is, she better be able to catch the full effect of my sexy looks." Matt outlined his chin with two fingers and flashed his pearly whit canines. The boys in the car groaned and rolled their eyes. Matt knew he was good looking , he always had been, and probably always would be. He had been using his great smile to get him all kinds of things since he came out of the womb with Amy right behind him.
"Listen, no one can resist my pretty green eyes." Zack batted his long lashes at Matt's face and smirked. Matt could only shake his head.
"She'll want a man Zack, not a baby face." Matt's rough voice replied as they approached the board walk. The sun was high in the sky, and Matt was sure Amy wasn't enjoying any of it. he loved Huntington, the beach, the people. It was his kind of scene. He enjoyed a good beach party, or pool party. Huntington was the perfect party town. With the hope of furthering their bands career, he would miss it.
