The sun was already shining when our class arrived at the beach for our school trip. Everyone rushed off to play volleyball, swim, and build sandcastles while our teacher tried to keep us all together. It was supposed to be a fun day with friends, but there was one person who caught my attention the moment I stepped onto the sand—Alice, my crush. As the waves rolled onto the shore and the warm breeze filled the air, I couldn't help but wonder if today would finally be the day I'd get the chance to talk to her.
