A Girl and A Boy

Prologue:

Flashback

Six years ago...

Akito stared at the girl in front of him. She was wearing a yellow dress and a hat to block the sun. They were on a beach, building tall sand castles as the waves washed by. She looked up, blushed, and continued with her work, scooping up the wet sand and shaping it into the form of a sand castle. Then Akito continued on with his work, bringing water from the ocean to make the sand wet. He got up, taking his green bucket, and lugging it to the banks of the ocean. Waves were coming in, he thought. It must be high tide. He sat down and let his bucket sank down into the water. By doing that, he learned he could get more water than scooping it up. But as he did this, he never noticed the waves coming in. He was too busy thinking about Sana, the girl with the yellow dress, the one who gave him a rose for Valentine's Day, the one who cheered him up at his birthdays, the one who gave him her support. But his thoughts were interrupted when the waves came. The waves swept over him, and acted like a cat pouncing on a mouse.

"Akito! Help, somebody, help!" Sana cried. She was crying so hard. Yelling and sobbing. So hard. But she ran to the shore, wading in, and when she got in deeper, she started swimming towardAkito. She might lose her best friend and maybe something more than a friend.

"Sa-Na." Akito swallowed some seawater.

"Sa-Na.." Akito groaned, and without giving any resistance, fell down toward the depths. But something pulled him up. He couldn't see, he couldn't breathe, but he felt an arm pulling him up.

"Akito. Wake up, you jerk! I just hope I don't have to do any CPR. It's dark already. I gotta get help. But what do I do? I just can't stand here. Or can I?" Sana thought with a sparkle in her eye. She quickly gathered sticks remaining on the beach, and made a fire. Her mom packed a two towels, a jacket, and somesushi if she got hungry in her bag. She gathered her bag and red bucket. Akito's bucket, unfortunately, were swept away by the tide. When a half hour was done, it looked like a campsite. Sticks were gathered to make a fire. A lean-to was made to shelter out the wind. Towels were spreaded out for blankets and sheets. She dragged Akito from the shore where she rescued him over to the towels. As she stared at Akito, she realized she liked him. Maybe more than like?

"Where am I?" Akito asked. He felt the warmth of the fire, and he smelled something delicous.

"At the beach." Sana said happily. She was glad that Akito was alright, and handed him some of the sushi. She took half of them, and gave the rest to him. As she popped some into her mouth, she plopped down next to Akito onto the towels. And she went to sleep.When Akito was sureshe was asleep,he kissed her on the lips. And laid down next to her, and slept. Sanarolled around in her sleep, and smiled. But Akito did something surprising. He wrapped his arms around her!

But that night, everything was peaceful. Sana in Akito's arms,and the ocean waves rolling down the shore in the pale moonlight.

But somehow, everything fell apart.

Sana moved away. Away. Far away.
