      The Second Sunrise

      by Hannah Downing

      I LOOKED OUT OVER the dark water and sighed. I could see in the far distance that the ocean was starting to turn pink; the sun was coming up. Sunrise meant one thing—it was our last day in Cabo, and soon we would be heading to the airport to fly home to New Mexico.

      We had spent a wonderful week on the beach, drinking rum cocktails and flirting with boys. My brother, Max, had invited me to come on summer vacation with some of his friends, and I was glad that I had taken him up on the offer. The main reason I was glad was because of Chris.

      Max’s best friend, Chris, was also his college roommate. Chris was from Michigan and had come to the University of New Mexico to study Archaeology. Max and I had lived in Albuquerque our whole lives, so it was only natural for Max to go to UNM after he graduated from high school.

      I was a senior in high school—well, I had just graduated so I guess technically I was about to become a freshman at UNM. Max had invited me on this trip to get me used to hanging out with college guys so I would have some defenses against them this coming school year. His logic didn’t make sense to me, but I was glad to spend the time with Chris.

      Every night we’d spent in Cabo we had gone to this fun little club on the beach and danced all night long. The lower drinking age in Mexico was very useful as we all got to enjoy some drinks every night without any guilt or risk of being arrested. Last night, Chris and I had danced together, and I’d felt like he might be attracted to me. He had stared into my eyes as he held me close, and once or twice I was even convinced that he might kiss me…but he hadn’t.

      When all the others had finally decided to go back to
