Never trust a jock. That was my first mistake. When Max Green invited me to a night party on the beach, I should have known better. The Resorties are rich kids who can’t see past their own cruelty. When Max and his friends trap me in the water, the only way for me to go is down. It would have been an ironic death, given that my father drowned in the very same waters.
