More Like a Life Lesson

Hey guys! So "Teen Beach Movie" is my latest obsession. I thought I would hate it but I absolutely adore it in every way. So yes this is gonna be a two shot. It was originally only meant to be a one shot but then my head started coming up with ideas and well… This happened. I get over excited about these two. But that's what happens when the female leads have more chemistry with each than they do with their male counterparts.

Disclaimer: I do not own "Teen Beach Movie". If I did Mack/Lela would have been endgame.

Mack's POV

"I have a secret. I've never told anyone before." The dark haired girl said skittishly. The owner of the dark hair is none other than Lela. As in Lela from that ridiculous 60's beach musical "Wet Side Story". Which my ex-boyfriend Brady and I are currently trapped in. Why couldn't we have ended up in "Great Gatsby" or something that at least somewhat makes sense?

The only thing I actually like about this place is Lela. She's the beautiful biker girl who is supposed to end up with Tanner but ended up falling into the arms of Brady. Of course this ruins our chances of getting home but I'm starting to care less about that. How can I concentrate on anything else when those eyes that remind me of tropical ocean pools are staring into mine?

"Well you can tell me if you want. Best friends forever right?" I grinned at her sheepishly.

"Okay!" She squealed excitedly and pulled me over to her oversized bed.

We sat across from each other and I looked at her expectantly. She hesitated at first and bit her bottom lip. Her lips… God what's wrong with me?

"I wanna surf." She said quickly and covered her mouth, like she was surprised she had said it out loud.

My face brightened. She wanted to surf. There really was more to her than I had thought. Deep inside she wanted to be different than the stereotype and lead her own life. She just needed some courage.

"I can teach you how if you want, Brady taught me everything I know and now I can teach you." I swallowed. She would probably rather have Brady teach her but I had to try. I wanted more than anything to have more alone time with her.

Lela gasped and grinned from ear to ear, "Wow Mack! You really will?!" She squealed and hugged me tightly.

I blushed a rose red and hugged her back.

She pulled away within a couple seconds to my dismay but she was still smiling so brightly so how could I really be mad?

"We'll leave first thing in the morning so we don't have to deal with Butchy. My brother doesn't get out of bed until noon so we have a whole morning of lessons." She was such a ray of sunshine all the time no matter what it was she was saying.

"Guess we better get some sleep then, huh?" I asked and she nodded.

I got up to find a good spot on the floor. Good thing I actually have a sleeping bag this time. Last time I slept over with all the other girls I didn't have one and I woke up with a spine that felt like it had been bent into a question mark.

"What are you doing?" Lela tilted her head in confusion.

"Searching for somewhere to sleep." I looked over at her.

"Oh you don't have to sleep on the floor! That's only when the other girls are here and we don't have enough room." She smiled brightly.

I stopped and blushed lightly.

I was gonna sleep in the same bed as her.

All night.

That's like eight hours!

I must have been lost in thought because she started waving her hand in front of my face. "Well come on, silly!" She giggled.

I walked over to the side she wasn't laying on and got under the covers rather awkwardly.

She clicked off the lamp and got comfortable.

A few minutes passed by and I saw her start to shiver. "Mack I'm cold…" She whispered.

"Uh… I'm sorry." I swear if Butchy wasn't sleeping in the bedroom next door I would have given myself the hardest and loudest face palm. Ever. Why can't I just be normal around her?

A moment of silence passed and I felt the bed shake a little and saw Lela scoot closer to me until her back was against the front of my body.

I froze. What am I supposed to do?

I decided to go with my gut feeling and wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her close to me.

I hear her sigh contently, "Thanks Mack. I feel a lot better now." She says quietly.

"Anytime." I whisper back. I feel my cheeks heating up and bury my head in her hair. She doesn't seem to mind. She might actually be sleeping.

It never felt this amazing when I used to lay like this with Brady. I think I'm starting to fall for this girl. I really don't want to leave now. Especially when this will be left behind.

What am I gonna do?

And that's the end of part one. I'm open to constructive criticism. Also I think I'm gonna make part two be in third person but maybe it should be in Mack's point of view again… Or maybe Lela's. What do ya'll think?

Also what should their ship name be? I'm thinking Mela.

Part 2 will be coming within the week. Maybe even tomorrow. Or should I say today since I'm writing this at 3 am… I'm a psycho. Bye!
