soak up the sun, open.

[EVELYN ALEXIS MATTHEWS]

Could it be any hotter? Evelyn didn't think so and that made it the perfect day for her. That meant the sun was outside beating hard which meant that she finally might be able to get some color on her too pale skin. Usually, she had no problem getting a tan in the summer, but she had been working so much that she hardly had the time. Unfortunately, the books carried no ultra violet rays. Lucky for her, her first day off was one of the nicest days the town had seen so far this summer. As soon as she woke up that morning, she knew that the majority of her day would be spent out doors.

Although she would usually call up a friend to spend the day with, Evelyn sort of wanted to just have a relaxing day. She didn't want to worry about saying the wrong thing or looking the wrong way. All she wanted to do was throw her bathing suit on, drink some lemonade and relax all day long. So that's exactly what she did. Evelyn got out of bed and immediately got her bathing suit on. She had a little beach cover up over top, just because she felt more comfortable not walking around in a bikini. Then she brushed out her hair and threw it up on top of her head. Her curls were a little crazy but there was nothing she could do about that. Next came the sun screen which she made sure to put on really good. She only wanted a tan, not a burn.

After she prepared her body for her day of sun, she made her way down to the kitchen. Evelyn poured herself a giant glass of lemonade, grabbed a breakfast bar and then headed outside. She chose the front yard because on the inside, she was hoping that somebody who she could hang out with would walk by. Spending the day by herself had sounded like a good idea before. But now that she had laid down a blanket and sat on top of it, it just didn't seem so fun.
