Nobody's POV
"Bye mom! I'm going out with Justin! I'll be back by 10!"
Leah ran out her door quickly before her mother could say another word to her. She continued running, but slowed down to a jog once she saw the bus stop. She began walking as soon she saw her best friend, Justin. His back was to her, so she decided to sneak up on him. When she was 10 feet away, she ran again and jumped on his back. He fell to the ground, cursing, shocked as to why someone would jump on him. He was about to push the person off and find out who it was, but then he heard laughter. It wasn't just any laughter – it was her laugh; one of his most favorite sounds in the world. Once he realized it was Leah, he began chuckling.
She's such a little kid, he thought.
She was still on top of him, but he managed to roll over to face her. He couldn't help but be overwhelmed by her beauty – like many times before. The sun was shining perfectly on her natural waves; her face was flawless and beaming. He grinned at her, and she grinned back.
"Hello beautiful," said Justin. She giggled.
"Why, hello handsome," she replied in a playful tone.
She got up and held her hand out to help him. He gladly took it and brushed himself off. She laughed quietly at him and began skipping down the block.
"Where are you going?" Justin yelled.
"I don't want to take the bus! Let's walk, please?"
Justin looked into her eyes. She put on a puppy dog face. Once she did that, he couldn't turn her down so he agreed to walk. She squealed with happiness and took his hand, making her way to the park. He wanted to be grumpy, but he couldn't manage to do so when she was being so happy and carefree. Once they arrived to the park, they saw their closest friends there.
"CAITLIN!" Leah screamed.
The girls saw each other and ran into each others arms. It was summer, and the two girls hadn't seen each other in a week since Caitlin was on vacation. After their short reunion, Leah greeted Ryan, Chaz, and Christian, as did Justin. The six friends then made their way to the beach, which was only a few blocks away. Leah jumped around, for she was happy to be with her friends. Justin couldn't help but stare at her. Her beauty always caught his attention. Ryan noticed Justin's staring, so he smacked him on the shoulder. Justin snapped out of it and focused on his other friends for the moment. When the beach was in sight, Leah and Caitlin grabbed each others hands and ran straight to the water. The boys looked at each other and figured, why not? So they ran after the two girls and followed their lead.
For the next few hours, the six friends spent the day at the beach. When it had become dark, everybody headed home except for Justin and Leah. The two teenagers lay there, holding hands – in a 'friendly' way of course – and staring at the stars. Leah felt content. Meanwhile, Justin felt like screaming out the millions of emotions that just her touch alone made him feel. Why did she make him feel like this? They were only best friends. He couldn't feel this way for her. It was wrong. And he was sure she didn't feel the same. Leah didn't notice the way Justin felt. They were, after all, only 16. She smiled up at the stars.
"Isn't the sky beautiful?" she asked.
"No."
She looked at him with a confused expression. He looked over at her and smiled slightly.
"You're more beautiful than anything."
She blushed when he said that. She always blushed when he said sweet things to her. It was just natural. She smiled at him, thankful for having a best friend who would always be there. Though she felt she didn't deserve him, she needed him. Her life would never be complete without him. He was her rock that kept her tied to the earth. He made her happy. Sometimes, he even gave her butterflies. She always questioned why that happened, but she figured all girls must feel like that when they're around a guy like Justin. He was just so amazing, so perfect.
He got up, pulling her along with him. They began walking home since she was probably already late. While walking home, they pointed out random things and laughed. They talked about anything that came to their minds and laughed at that too. Finally, they were in front of Leah's house. Justin frowned, for he didn't want this night to end. But he never wanted his days with Leah to end. She made him happy, and who doesn't like to be happy? Sadly, he let go of her hand and she kissed him on the cheek then went inside. He stood there for a moment, staring at the door in front of him. He finally snapped out of it and began his walk home. He only lived a few blocks away, so he made it within 10 minutes. He went straight to his room after saying goodnight to his parents, plugged in his phone, and texted Leah that he had just gotten home. She told him to tell her when he got home so that she knew, just in case something happened. She replied immediately, saying that she would call him soon. He sighed and stood there for a moment; he was tired. He grabbed some clothes and went into his bathroom to take a shower.
Leah sent her text to Justin, and then hopped in the shower. She let the hot water run down her back, loosening his muscles. She finally stepped out a put on her shorts and big t-shirt. She went straight to her bed and into the covers, not even bothering to dry her hair. She unplugged her phone and quickly dialed Justin's number. On the fourth ring, he picked up.
"Hello gorgeous," said Justin.
His voice sounded like an angels, which caused an idea to pop into Leah's head.
"Will you sing me to sleep, please?" she asked as sweetly as she could.
He smiled at the sound of her voice and instantly agreed. He began singing the song he had written for her. She didn't know it was written for her, but she never questioned who it was about either because he always sang this song to her and only her. After just a few minutes of hearing his lovely voice, she fell into a peaceful slumber. Meanwhile, on the other side of the line, Justin continued singing even though he knew Leah was asleep. He was too deep in thought to even realize he was still singing. Eventually, his words became mumbles, and he too fell asleep.
Leah woke up early in the morning. She groaned as the sunlight hit her face and covered her face with a pillow. While doing so, her hand brushed over something hard. She realized it was her phone. She glanced at it and saw that she was still on the phone with Justin. She put her ear to the phone and listened to Justin's snore. She giggled and hung up the phone. She got up and washed her face, brushed her teeth, the usual stuff. After that, she went downstairs and checked to see if there was any food. Of course, there wasn't so she settled with cereal. Right when she finished eating, her doorbell rang.
Who the hell is interrupting my morning? She thought.
She made her way to the door and opened it to find a smiling Caitlin. The two hugged each other tightly and pulled apart.
"So, what are we doing today?" asked Caitlin.
"I don't know. What is there to do? Gosh, this Saturday is so boring!" Leah complained.
"I know!"
With that, the girls ran out into the backyard and jumped in the pool. It was a hot day, and Leah had a whole shed full of swimming toys to keep them entertained. The two stayed in the pool for who knows how long, but got out around 2. Once they did, they decided to go to the mall. They got dressed, Caitlin borrowing some of Leah's clothes, and walked to the bus stop. On their way, Leah checked her phone to find 15 unread messages and 10 missed calls from Justin. She replied instantly, telling him where she was going. The bus arrived and they soon got to the mall. They walked around and shopped and ended up carrying a few bags of clothing. When it became 8, they decided to watch a move. And so they did, which much difficulty carrying all their food and clothes. At 11, the girls took the bus back home and Caitlin slept over.
"Hey, I just remembered something!" exclaimed Caitlin.
"What?" replied Leah in a bored tone.
"We got invited to a bonfire. That guy Alex is throwing it. It starts at 5 tomorrow."
"What about the guys?"
"Them too."
"So were going for sure?"
"Of course! Plus, its time to be around some other guys this summer. I know were all best friends and stuff, but we gotta have other friends, too."
With that, the two fell asleep.
In the morning, it was bright as could be. The girls woke up groaning at the sunlight, feeling it was too early for the sun to shine like that. Eventually, they got ready to get some food. So they walked into town and walked around to look for the right place.
"How about that Chinese restaurant over there? I heard its good," suggested Leah.
"Nah. What about that pizza place?"
"It's too early for pizza, you fatty."
"Fine. Subway? A sandwich sounds really good right now."
"Agreed."
And so the girls walked into Subway. They got their sandwiches and sat down at a table.
"Oh gosh. This is so good," said Caitlin, stuffing her face the second she sat down.
Leah giggled. "Yeah, you don't need to show it."
"Yes I do. You wouldn't understand if I didn't," said Caitlin matter-of-factly.
Leah laughed at her friend. She was so weird. But that was Caitlin. It wouldn't be her if she wasn't weird.
After they finished eating, they walked around town and bought random things. They mostly bought necklaces and bracelets. Before they knew it, it was 4.
"Leah! It's already 4!"
"I know, stupid. Why do you think im walking to the bus stop?"
"Oh, right…"
Just then, the bus came. The two girls got on, along with the other people who were waiting. It took about 20 minutes to get to the beach, so they made it on time. They were actually 20 minutes early. They arrived and saw only about 10 people on the beach. There was a pile of huge logs, which was for the fire, but it wasn't lit yet. The two girls approached the other 10 people. Everybody greeted the two girls. Leah and Caitlin easily recognized the faces of their friends, but only one was unfamiliar.
