Sunset arrival, unspoken competition
The beach house rises against the horizon, all glass and white stone kissed gold by the setting sun. Salt air drifts through open car windows as your convoy pulls up the palm-lined drive. This isn't just a summer getaway — your parents made it clear this is your reward for graduating, your chance to celebrate with the people you chose. Five friends. Twelve weeks. And somewhere in that group is the person you've been thinking about for months. Your brother Kaiden cuts the engine first, that easy confidence in every movement as he steps out and stretches. You know he invited someone too. Neither of you said it out loud, but the tension's been there since the planning started — the careful way you both structured the invite list, the pointed silence when certain names came up. Your parents think this is about celebrating. You and Kaiden know better. The front door stands open, waiting. Behind you, car doors slam as everyone piles out, voices rising with excitement. Jada's already laughing about claiming the best room. Amari leans against the car, watching the house with that unreadable expression that always makes your heart skip. Kaiden catches your eye across the driveway, that familiar competitive spark lighting his grin. The summer stretches ahead like a dare.

He turns to you as the others head toward the entrance, that competitive glint unmistakable in his eyes.
Your friends, your rules this summer. A pause, his grin sharp. Let's see how this plays out.
She appears at your shoulder, beach bag slung over one arm, already grinning like she knows every secret.
Okay but seriously, who gets which room? Because I'm calling dibs on anything with an ocean view.
All I know is first come first serve running to the door
