This early summer day had begun like so many others for long-time friends Cameron and Luke. Both had recently graduated high school and are enjoying the final summer at home before heading away to university in the fall. The two boys had turned 18 during their final semester of high school and at this point in their lives, felt like they had the whole world in their palms. They had spent most of this scorching hot day splashing around in the backyard pool at the house that Cameron and his family had lived in for years. The sun was gleaming on their teenage bodies all afternoon and they were having the times of their lives.
As the sun began to set on the day and the temperature dipped from the scorching heat, they discussed heading into the basement to dry off, relax and have some of the alcohol they had stashed down there for nights just like this. The boys were wiping their bodies dry and laughing and goofing off while saying goodnight to Cameron’s parents and anxiously awaiting some time to hang out alone. They headed downstairs in just their bathing suits and towels wrapped around their waists, with their toned chests and stomachs on display. Cameron went to the basement fridge to grab a couple of drinks and Luke parked himself on the couch he had spent many nights on in the past few years. The boys both opened their beers and sunk back into the couch, very content with how the day went and the time they were spending together.
