I couldn't believe my eyes. I rubbed them again and double checked. Was that Stella Yamada in a yellow dress? Yellow strapless dress. My thought was broken by her saying, "Stop drooling you'll get spit on your Tux."

"Uh, yeah," I replied not fully back to reality. Now you're probably wondering why I'm here in a tux with Stella Yamada. Well, lets go back to the beginning of summer. It was a blazing hot day out in July. I think it was a Saturday. Now if you knew me, then you'd know I'd never remember a specific date. That definitely meant it was special, it was. She was in a Black bikini under a tree wiht her head tilt back with her eyes closed. I don't really recall why I did what I did, but I parked my car and walked over to her. I sat right next to her. Me, Raymond Beech, next to her, Stella Yamada. I don't know what exactly what happened but at the end of year something changed me. I was really into being nice. Especially to Stella Yamada. Stella Yamada, the girl that I hated, who I fought with everyday in High School, who nearly destoried my band. I can't believe I fell for Stella Yamada.

I cleared my throat, causing her to jump.

"What do you want Beech?" She replied like she was annoyed.

"Woah, Chill Yamada. Who says I can't sit against this tree?" she smirked

"Me," She answered without missing a beat.

"Harsh. That burned," I said as I rubbed my chest. She did a snort slash laugh thing. I found it quite cute. At the time I thought I was getting sick or something. I would never think Yamada was cute in anyway. I studied her face, every curve, every color, every detail. I was too amazed by her face that I didn't realized that she had a bikini on. When I looked down I blushed and turned my face around.

"Uh okay, Why don't you just take a picture it would last a lot longer?" I was shocked by her reply. I desided to be cool about it.

"No thanks, I'm good." She rolled her eyes when I said that. She opened her mouth to say something but I beat her to it."So What are you doing out here in your suit? I said trying to break the awkwardness.

"I live close by I was suppose to go swimming but, wait- why do you want to know? she questioned wiht her eyebrows raised.

"I don't know. Just trying to break the awkwardness."

"Oh Well I was suppose to go swimming in my pool but I didn't because my parents started fighting. So I ran out here to cool down." She answered.

"Well how is that gonna happen with this 97 degree wheather? I said with a smirk on my face.

"It was a figure of speech," I rolled my eyes at her response.

It was silent again and hot outside. I was getting really hot and I took off my shirt trying to cool down myself.

"What are you doing?" She questioned me.

"Well, it is hot outside and if I'm gonna stay here I don't want to over heat." she was staring at my ribbed body, "Wanna take a picture for your phone wallpaper? Or go swimming at my house?"

"Uh," She stuttered out.

"Tough decision?"

"In your dreams, lets go swimming."

The drive to my house was pretty awkward, so I turned on the radio. It was mudslide crush, Don't Ya Wish you Were us. Being the gentlemen I was being that day I asked her,"Is this okay?"

Her face was confused. I could tell from the corner of my eye because I was focused on the road. "Why are you being so nice today?"

"I can be nice if I want to. We are here."

Her amazed face was kind of funny. As I laughed she asked, "what?"

"You look amazed. It just a house. I'm gonna go and and change. You can either wait here or go to the pool."

I ran upstairs and I changed really fast. I think that was the fastest I've ever changed before. Something was wrong wih me. I looked in my mirror to see how I looked. I jumped over to my nightstand and sprayed some cologne on myself. I ran down the hallway and grabbed a towel. I yelled down,"You need a towel?"

"Uh yeah."I laughed because she still sounded amazed by my house. "What and Whats taking so long?

"Nothing you just- nevermind." She laughed now too.

I ran down the stairs and slowed down to walking. I walked over to stella and gave her her towel. "Race ya to the pool." I ran past her. I only did that so she would notice my cologne. I'm pretty sure she noticed because when I looked back she had her eyes closed and she was still frozen. "You coming?" "Oh, yeah. Be there in a sec." I snorted out a laugh. I walked over there and picked her up bridal style. I guess she didn't notice because after a few seconds she said,"You know I could've walked."

"yeah I know but then I would have been retired when we actually got to swim." My skin against her skin made me get chills in this hot wheather. She was blushing when I looked down. I jumped into the pool with her still in my arms. She screams as I threw her out of my arms. I hopped up and Shes playfully angry. She splashes Ray and Ray runs after her and Stella runs away. They swim, but mostly chasing or splashing each other, until dark. Ray's parents came home and went outside and his mom said," Ray dinner's ready," Not noticing his friend. "Oh who is your friend?"

"Oh This is Stella. Stella Yamada." I answered.

"Hi. Sorry, I'll be leaving soon." Stella said embarrassly

"Oh its okay! You can just change and stay for dinner." Ray's mother said then turned around on her heels and walked away.
