He can’t stand iPods so he brings his decks to the beach, even though his records might get wet. She hates the songs he plays but she loves the way he plays it cooler than the pool it gets her hotter than the pavement. They talk about the breeze and trees and not about the internet. She believes conspiracies, but not in things like accidents. “Bare feet beat dance shoes, sweat till you get the sand wet”. He remembers every word she said like he was her cassette deck.

She arrives at the beach with a spare set of batteries, a daisy in her hair, and an appetite for flattery. He shows up on his bike with a great mixtape, plus a flask full of whiskey and some frozen grapes. He likes the way her legs look, long like the summertime. She thinks he talks just like books and finds that hot like sunshine. They speak in voice-over and they move in slow motion, like a movie about how love can take you under like the ocean.

When the summer heats up, both of them get so nostalgic. You can see it in the clothes they wear, and hear it in their music. You can tell by the way they push each other into swimming pools, and act like they’re in high school when it’s too hot to be cool. His lowered Honda Civic with pull-out deck and tinted windows has sub woofers loud enough to change the way the wind blows. She wears Guess jeans, fakes a mole, and drinks wine coolers. Their summer is a long day off, their love is Ferris Bueller.
