Viola, Sandy, and Lucia were the closest of friends. They had known each other since they were young and had grown up together, attended the same high school and sharing their hopes, dreams, and memories along the way. Although they were not in any way related, they were like sisters, bonded by their love for adventure and each other. Their favorite place in their small town was the beach, where they would lay in the water and stare at the sunset. They loved the feeling and warmth of the sun against their skin and the coolness of the water around their bodies.
The beach was a magical place for the three friends. The sand was soft and warm, and the water was crystal clear, reflecting the colors of the sky as the sun set. They would often bring a picnic with them, filled with their favorite snacks and drinks, and spend hours chatting and laughing together. That was one moment the cherished a lot. A moment they would feel free to talk about boys, their different crushes and their specs in boys too. Not only boys, they also discussed their secrets and life dreams and ambitions of attending the same college and from their hopes for the future to their fears.They would talk about everything.
Their friendship was unbreakable, and they were always there for each other through thick and thin. They were each other's support system and always had each other's backs. Whether it was helping each other with homework, comforting each other after a breakup, or just being there to listen, they were always there for each other.
But then, one day, Sandy and Lucia received the news that they had been accepted into college far away, in a land far from their home and their beloved beach. They were thrilled at the opportunity to continue their education, but Viola on the other hand was heartbroken, she had received hers earlier, she wasn't accepted. She was losing her two best friends, the two people who had been by her side for her entire life. Their dreams of being in the same college was shattered.
As the months went by, Viola found herself feeling more and more lonely. Her friends have all traveled to school. She missed them and the laughter and joy that they brought into her life. She still visited the beach from time to time, but now it was different. She would lay on the sand, staring at the sunset, and remember all of the good times they had shared there. She would close her eyes and imagine that they were still there with her, laughing and chatting just as they used to.
One day, as she lay on the sand, she saw a figure in the distance walking towards her. She rubbed her eyes, maybe it was just her imagination playing tricks on her, she thought, but when she looked again, the figure was still there, getting closer and closer. Suddenly, she realized that it was Sandy and Lucia, back from college for a visit and had checked up on her at home but was told she had left. Immediately they knew she would be at the beach.
They ran towards each other, tears streaming down their faces, and embraced in a tight hug. They were together again, and their friendship was just as strong as it had ever been. They spent the whole day together, chatting, laughing, and reliving old memories. They went for a swim in the water and then sat on the sand, watching the sunset and reminiscing about the good times.
