Cassie Wilka, Junior-High Student, and Derek Slykhuis, High-School Student, Main Beach

Where are you from?
Derek: South Dakota. A little town called Scotland.
Cassie: Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He’s my stepbrother.

What are you doing in the Hamptons?
Cassie: Visiting my aunt. She used to work for Starbucks. She bought the coffee. Derek: This was my first time. It was hot. I liked it.

Do you have a summer job?
Derek: I work at Wendy’s, and for my neighbor. He’s a farmer. We load corn mostly. Put it in a truck and take it to an ethanol plant.
Cassie: I go to YMCA camp for two weeks. You go out in the wilderness and rock-climb and go boating and stuff.

Where’d you get your swimsuit?
Derek: JCPenney. I don’t want to spend my money on clothes.
Cassie: At Limited Too. I like clothes.

Do you ever pick on each other?
Cassie: Only when I get really mad at him. I make fun of him because he has a girlfriend. I just kind of say, “Derek has a girlfriend!” I’ve never met her.
