Thanks everyone for the views and reviews for "Never Ever" I appreciate it really.

Anyway this was started waaay back when I hit the beach episode in MCL. It was originally gonna be my introduction to writing Castiel/Candy USTish thing for my friend, but then things happened and it got pushed into the backburner. Now that I actually got time away from real life duties, I polished it up and decided to publish it. May be a little rough and OoC.

I still don't own MCL. Nathaniel and Candy would have been official two episodes ago if I did.

A Beach Interlude

My first semester at Sweet Amoris had been interesting. To say the least. Despite all the interesting things that has happened since my transfer, it felt good to have this summer break. Mid-terms were done and I felt good about my scores. Not to mention it felt good to get back at Amber for the grief she gave me.

I wonder if she figured out by now that I gave her the wrong answers.

I told myself I was going to spend my break Amoris free.

No harping on problems

No worrying about guys

Nothing.

Luckily it'll be easy with my parents staying the weekend. Being two high profile business people they travel or work too far for me to commute to school. It wasn't as often when I was a kid. They usually took turns. But as I got older the transfers became more and more often. The longest I stayed before coming to Sweet Amoris was at my old school before being transferred here.

That isn't to say I never talk to them.

They always made sure to talk to me at least weekly, maybe bi-weekly. Even if it was just a phone call or the occasional webcam chat. But anyway, they cleared their weekend to rent out a hotel suite so that the three of us could have a family outing. What made it better was that it was by the beach.

I love the beach.

I don't really know why I like the beach. It always seem to bring out the inspiration in me.

"Ami, can you come here for a minute?" I heard Mom ask me.

Mom was sitting in the main lounge drinking a glass of tea. People say I take after her in looks. But I really don't think so. We share the same hair color, but she's a more beautiful woman. I could only hope that when I get her age I'll look like that.

"Come sit, we haven't just had a chat between the two of us in a while." she said.

Mom and I have a close relationship. Since Dad is one of the heads of an ad company he traveled a lot more than Mom at first. So I guess it was natural.

"How has your schooling been? Your father worries since we've gotten a couple calls about your behavior. Even getting into a fight."

My face turned instantly red.

It was true though. With the good times I had at Sweet Amoris, there was always bad. The constant arguments with Amber. The near-volatile snark sessions with Castiel. Maybe speaking my mind out one too many times to the principal. I'm surprised that I haven't gotten suspended yet.

I guess the work I do in the class offsets it?

"I'm sorry Mom. I really didn't mean to cause trouble...it's just taking some time to adjust there."

My mom let out a small sigh.

"I understand. I had hoped you'll make more friends. Since Kentin got transferred out."

I looked down at my hands for that. It was still a sore spot for Ken to not be here at Sweet Amoris with me anymore. I knew he had that crush on me and stuff. And even though I didn't feel like that towards him, he was still my friend. It made Sweet Amoris easier to deal with at times.

I couldn't forgive Amber for forcing him to move.

I wonder if that's why I have such a vendetta against her?

"It's fine Mom, I've made plenty of friends."

I talked to her about Rosalya and Violette and the other girls I've gotten to know during the semester. Mom was smiling through it. I guess because I rarely made friends with girls. I assume with my tendency to get into fights and the transfers, I wasn't that girly.

"I have to wonder, if you're not trying to get the attention of a boy."

I whipped my head towards Mom so fast when she said that. I could already feel my cheeks heat up at a mention of boys.

"No no no! Moooom." I whined.

She most definitely didn't need to know about Nathaniel and the incident at the nurse's office. Not at all. Mom would probably disapprove and if Dad knew.

Dad would probably kill him and then transfer me out.

I mean, Nathaniel is a nice person. But Dad's protective.

Oddly enough, that incident didn't change anything between us. We didn't even talk about it the day after it happened. Nope, we were still the two good friends.

At times I think back on it and wonder what if we didn't pull away at that moment. The thoughts left me disappointed of the reality.

When I glanced back at Mom, she was smirking at me. Mom only smirks when she realizes some-

Oh...fuck.

"Uh huh." she said matter of factly.

"Mom, it isn't what it looks li-"

Mom silenced me with a look. She was thinking for a moment and then turned back to me. "It's alright. You're turning seventeen soon. It's okay to feel attracted to a boy."

I can't believe that Mom was even talking to me about this. I just wanted to pretend that this didn't happen.

"But," she said, "be careful. Your father worries that leaving you here without us is reflecting negatively on your behavior."

No.

She couldn't mean-?

"Is Dad thinking about transferring me again?"

Mom didn't answer me but I could see from the look in her eyes. It must have been mentioned at least once. I stood up and shook my head.

It was unfair.

"You can't let Dad do that. It's not like my grades tanked. I've been keeping them up. And I promise I won't let anything like that happen again."

Mom stood and placed her hands on my shoulders. "Don't worry. He hasn't decided. But if we keep getting calls about your behavior, we might not have a choice."

I nodded my head at her. I would need to show a bit more restraint in the future. But if there's one thing I got my dad, other than his eyes, is the need to say something if something is wrong. I would at least think Dad would understand that.

"It's a nice day today." Mom said, "You should enjoy the beach by yourself."

I gave another nod before leaving her room to get ready. Going to beach would be good to clear my head.

"Oh, sweetheart? Next time I want pictures of this boy."

"Mom!" I whined again.

Nevermind the fact that I have picture or a sleeping Nathaniel I keep that Rosalya gave me for helping her out...

And done~!

...not really, I got a part two to update. Which will probably be fast since yeah. Anyway review!
