The Grass Grows Greener When You're here
Chapter 1
Chelsea's POV
I opened my eyes and felt warm sand around me. I sat up confused and looked around.
"Wasn't I just on a boat?" I questioned when an old man had walked up to me yelling to his family to come look.
"Another one." He said. "Where am I?" I asked. "Your on our little sunny…deserted… island" he said whispering the 'deserted' part. "But I was on a boat." I questioned.
"The boat was struck with lightning and everyone got away safely on life boats but yours went astray and washed up here. I nodded, "that makes sense" I stood up brushing the sand of my red bandana and shorts. "so its just us on this island?" I asked and they all looked glum. Taking it as a yes I looked up at the sky. "Well we'll make this island so famous you have to get on a waiting list go get here!" I threw up my fist and we all smiled and agreed.
I laid back on my bed fist pointed to the ceiling smiling reminding me of that day.
"the island had changed so much so many tourist and others have moved in. Feeling proud of myself I tied my signature red bandana and walked outside. I was stopped my the local carpenter, Gannon, telling me he built me a chicken coop I nodded walking in my newly built coop and the old man, taro, that found me on the beach walked in with a chick following behind him.
"I heard Gannon build you a coop so I got you a chick!" I smiled and nodded taking the small yellow fluff in my hands. "Chicky" I laughed at how lame the name I gave him was. Taro nodded and made his leave. Noticing I had no food I walked out and over to the store to buy feed for her.
The breeze was cooler today I don't know why especially considering its summer and im always sweating today was peaceful; I like summer for once I thought. I walked into the store Julia , the owners daughter, was smiling and pulled me outside. "Julia why do you have that look on your face?" I was confused but interested.
"A new guy just moved in! He said he was looking for a famous farmer on this island." She smiled. "yea so?" I didn't the what she was aiming at. "The blond cutie is looking for you!" she poked me in the forehead emphasizing on the word you. "Yea so?" I repeated again she looked disappointed.
"Come on Chelsea go meet him I know you'd like him!" she pushed. "but I needed to buy-" "yea, yea, after you meet the cute blonde farmer!" she demanded. "Fine!" I gave up. "where is he?" I asked annoyed and she was jumping up and down.
"yes! He lives at the Hotel in the east of town." She pointed east I nodded and waved I was almost lunch I figured I'd meet him the go to the diner a short walk south.
I walked up to the inn keeper, "um excuse me but do you know where the cute blond farmers room is?" I quickly slapped my hand to my mouth. "I didn't mean to say that-" "its right there" she smiled pointing to the room just up north. "thank you" I smiled and looked up at the number. "103" I said knocking and a older boy answered. "Yes?" he asked his blond hair hung in his face but his blue hat held it up a bit.
"I'm Chelsea someone said you were looking for a certain farmer on this island and well im the only farmer on the island so you must be looking for me." I said like I couldn't care less even though in reality I really did care.
"Yes I heard someone here shipped a lot of amazing crops and help rebuild almost this whole island. I wanted to get some help since im starting out." He said embarrassed his hand behind his head then he remembered he hadn't given his name holding out his hand, "Im Mark" I shook his hand.
Mark's POV
"Coming to this island was my friends idea actually he said he came to this island with his girlfriend on vacation and heard someone talking about a great farmer and it would be a good idea for me to get some help starting out from whoever that farmer was." She smiled nodding as I went on with my stupid rant. Why didn't Jack tell me it was a girl! I could just hear him now teasing me he knows I don't have a girlfriend or anything he set me up!
Chelsea POV
It turned awkward fast he must be thinking. I wonder what it what about? Then out of the random, "would you like to go to lunch with me?" I asked mentally slapping myself for the stupid question. He is gonna think it's a date or something! "Don't get the wrong idea its just to know you better and give you a couple tips, alright?" I said and nodded he grabbed his pack and we both walked down to the diner together.
Julia and Elliot were sitting together at on of the tables and she seen me and gave a thumbs up. I rolled my eyes and sat together at a table in the farthest away from Julia' s sign language for good job. "she looks like she knows you." I asked him as he turned to look at the other blond. "Her name is Julia I think I met her the other day." He turned back to me. "Yea, just ignore her she talks nonsense!" saying it loud enough for her to hear. "Actually she seem pretty nice." Mark smiled. I rolled my eyes I thought that as first too I thought. The waitress took our order and we both had eaten I had stood up and paid for the both of us. I turned to Mark and he looked confused, "Consider it a welcome to the island" I smiled. Something I hadn't don't in a long while.
It was late in the evening already and we stood outside the diner. "Should I walk you to your place?" he asked I shook my head. "nah im capable by myself, thanks for the offer though" I waved then walked off. As soon as the door of my small house had been locked for the night I gave a fangirl sku and jumped up and down on my bed. "Yea! Thanks Harvest Goddess! Thanks Julia!" I'm not the girly type but I just couldn't bottle up that one. Tired from being so excited I fell asleep.
The next morning I shot out of bed remembering some thing I didn't get chicken feed "Chicky…"
