Author's Note: Hey this is my 3rd story, so I'm looking for Beta's!

I took a deep breath in and out, in and out. All I smell is the fresh smell of seawater. I open my eyes and my dog Max he's sitting on me when he licks my face, I wipe off the slobber and I jump out of bed. My yellow lab just stretches and slowly jumps off. "Max, I'm so glad I don't have to go fishing today!" I yell telling the world. I start walking towards the door, when a pillow hits the back of my head, I spin around and look at the direction it was thrown, it was no one other then my 19 year old sister, Susan.

"Shut Up it's like 5 in the morning! No one's up but you!" she yells.

"and Max" I added.

"and Max, whatever" Then another pillow hits the back of my head.

"If you dare hit me with another…" I turn around and see her lying in bed. "Max who's there?" I ask my dog. He sniffs around and barks by the open window. I look over and see some chocolate hair stick up.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"What a guy can't just stalk you?" Rick said.

"No, not really"

"Even if you have a crush on him?"

"You wish…"

"I do" he looks into my eyes that makes my stomach squeeze.

"I'm sorry, to ruin the love scene but a girl is trying to sleep" Susan said.

"Yes somewhere in this world a girl is trying to sleep but there's only a monster in this room" I add. Then I notice Rick is still staring at me. "You know I think it's creepy, right?"

"I know, but I just don't want to lose you" he said his green eyes twinkle with sorrow.

"You're such a girl!" I yell running out the door, hoping he will follow. I hear the creak of the wood as soon as my feet hit the floor. I look to my right and see Max running beside me. His creaks matching mine. I look back and all I see is white wood and my door wide open. I feel disappointment and turn around and walk to the kitchen, then sitting at the table is no one other then Rick sitting there.

"How do you get here so fast? It's like you're a blur" I said.

"I know it's my style" he TRIED to say smoothly.

"Yes you're style is shutting your giant mouth before I shut it for you."

"Please do" I walk towards him while he starts making a kissy face.

"Save it"

"So close" he whispers. "So close"

"Let's go to reaping day alright, I'm tired of you flirting with me".

"Fin I'll go as long as we hold hands."

"Move on"

"Beat you there"

"I bet you will", we walked to the government building, and I smelled the fresh air. We were 3 hours early so we decided to go swimming in our secret spot. It's the only place where water is the light blue, the sky even bluer and the fish alive and colorful. These fish almost know us, were the friendly people who don't fish (at least here). We swim alongside the fish and race them to the shore. I always come in 1st so it's fun. Rick and I crawl onto the beach.

"Hey, it's not fair you get to wear a bikini while I get to wear a shirt 5x my size."

"Excuses, excuses. You know I think you wouldn't go faster with the shirt off"

"You bet?"

"I bet"

"Fine" he rips of his shirt and I don't see flubber, I see muscle a 6 pack even. Then I notice he's staring at me staring at his chest. "What?"

"I thought I'd see fatness, but I was…"

"Wrong?"

"I know first time ever"

"Really?"

"Pickle jars were going to be late!" I said running towards my dry clothes.

He picks up his giant shirt and follows me, "pickle jars?"

"Something my Grandma used to say"

"Oh, what's a pickle?"

"I have no idea."

We walked back our hair wet, and you see my sister Susan surrounded by boys and then she said something and they give her a look of evilness-ness. She screeches, I mean these boys are bigger then Rick, and Ricks tall. So I pick up a rock and throw it at the one that looks like the leader, and he falls over. The others look confused looking for the attacker. With no success they run to somewhere and are gone. I walk towards my sister who fainted. I know real strong. I tell Rick I got arms you've got legs. He picks her legs up and we pull her the hospital. We tell the doctors what happened besides the rock throwing and he just nods and sighs. What a depressing dude.

"Okay, tell your parents, ok?"

"I'm 15,… Mr. Megrano"

"Well you look young apply makeup"

"I just went….."

"Yes, to the makeup store. Bring your boyfriend he might have better taste then you!"

"He's not my….."

"NO she has good fashion sense! Honey let's go to the square" he drags my feet along and puts his arm around me. As soon as we walk out I want to slap him, but with his fast reflexes he catches my hand. "Look, honey were holding hands." I just laugh and shake my hand to let go but he doesn't. He just looks into my eyes and it looks like he's trying to say something but can't.

"What?"

"You're just so pretty"

"LALALA LA LA LALALALALALALAL ALALALALALLLLALALA !"

"What?"

"Stop being such a girly, girl! Wow, it's kind of like saying like Your eyes shine brighter then all of the stars in the sky"

"SO?"

"It's awkward reeeaaallllyyyy awkward"

"So, what if I love"

"Hello, I'm Kasey DeLarno and I'll be your host for picking your girl and guy, okay? So, dudelies first!"

"Dudelies?" I whisper to Rick he just shrugs and keeps looking up. I can tell he's nervous so I grasp his hand. He just looks at me and I see all of his nervous just wipes off his face. I turn to face Kasey but he can't stop staring at me. I feel awkward but it also feels so right. I mean 'm just supporting him.

"Ben Hasgenhopher? Ben Hagenhopher" I see this kid walk up there and smiles.

He grabs the microphone and says "all the girls that I didn't date, don't worry your Benny will Winny! Wait that doesn't rhyme, hold on wait" by that time Kasey already grabbed back the microphone. That guy is a weirdo. Stupid, chunky, fat, round-shaped Benny will be the easiest target out there for whoever is out there.

"Time for the girlies!"

I notice I'm squeezing Rick's hand so I let go but he just re-grabs it and whispers "it's ok"

"Ok, Jamie Pretzel, Jamie Pretzel."

All I can think of is there another Jamie Pretzel besides me?
