Part 1: Complications
Hazel woke up to Winter's tweety bird noise. Then she realized that she was in the aquarium! I must have sleep walked or something...Oh. Wait. I was supposed to stay the night at the aquarium to keep an eye on Winter because last week she wasn't feeling well. Well, Winter is fine. I wonder when Sawyer will be here because he always has fun ideas. Today is our off day so we can do whatever. But usually we go up to the crows nest and talk. Hazel thought to herself. "Good Morning Hazel!" Phoebe said with a smile. "Good Morning Phoebe! Why are you here so early?" She asked. "Uhhh...Hazel? Have you checked the time? It's 9:30."
"What?! Oh no! I was supposed to tell my dad about how Winter was last night an hour ago! Gotta go Phoebe!" And with that, Hazel grabbed her stuff and ran home.
"Good morning honey," Lorraine said as Sawyer entered the room. "Breakfast is on the table." "Thanks mom. I am going to the aquarium today." Sawyer said. "But today is your off day Sawyer." Lorraine started, "You should just relax and maybe watch a movie or something. After all, its only been a week since you got back from the SEA semester.""I just want to see Winter, Hope and Hazel." Sawyer started, "I really missed them when I was away." "Well I have to go to the store today so I won't be back for a few hours. Do you want me to pick you up after I am done?" Lorraine asked. "It's ok Mom. I am going to ride my bike to the aquarium." "Okay Sweetie." Sawyer quickly finished his breakfast, got dressed, and headed for the aquarium.
Hazel
I hope that Sawyer comes soon. I haven't had any quality time with him since he got back from his 3 month long SEA semester. Then I heard someone say "Hey Sawyer!" It was my dad. Then Winter made her tweety bird noise. Sawyer walked over and said hi to Winter, Hope, and I. "Hey Hazel!" "Hi Sawyer!" I replied. Then we asked my dad if we could swim with Winter and Hope, and he said yes! Winter and Hope got super excited when we got on the platform. Winter pulled Sawyer in, of course. And I jumped in after them. After we swam for a few minutes with Winter and Hope, I saw someone...It was Suzie.
Sawyer
Hazel and I were splashing each other with water and laughing until Hazel stopped and her smile faded. "Hi Sawyer!" It was Suzie. "Oh hey Suzie! It's a surprise to see you here." I said. "Oh y'know I was just passing by and wanted to say hi" Suzie said. "Oh, Hi Hazel." Suzie said. "Hi Suzie." Hazel said. "Soooo? How was the SEA semester? It sounded so fun." Suzie gushed. "It was really fun. I got to see so many animals and even got to see wild dolphins!" "That sounds so awesome!" Suzie said with a smile. "Sawyer you wanna ride our bikes to my house? I made cherry popsicles! Oh. And of course you are invited too...Hazel." Suzie said.
Hazel
"No thanks I think I'll stay here...with Winter and Hope." Hazel said. "Ok Hazel. I'll see you later!" Sawyer said as he dried off, grabbed his things and headed out the door with Suzie. "Bye." I said sadly. After they left, I swam with Winter and Hope for a few more minutes. But it wasn't as fun without Sawyer. Winter tweeted sadly as if she knew my feelings. I just wanted some time with Sawyer. But Suzie had to come in and take it away. I never liked Suzie. She obviously tries to come between Sawer and I and purposely leave me out of whatever she is doing. I swam for a few more minutes then I dried off and went to the crows nest and looked at the sunset.
Sawyer
As Suzie got the popsicles from the freezer I sat on her deck thinking. I felt kinda bad ditching Hazel knowing that she can't ride her bike. Her dad never had time to teach her because he was always busy with the aquarium. Then Suzie came out with the popsicles. "You still thinking about Hazel?" Suzie asked. "Yeah..." I said sadly. Suzie put her hand on my shoulder. "It's ok. I'm here. Remember?" Then we laughed. But it was kind of awkward because the only other girl my age I've shared a laugh with was Hazel.
Authors note: Hey Guys! So, looks like Hazel wants time with Sawyer but Suzie keeps interrupting them. It looks like Sawyer is feeling a little uncomfortable with Suzie because the only other girl-friend he has had is Hazel. Stay tuned for Part 2!
