Chapter 4:

The Flower Festival cont.

Nina and Basil stood against the south wall of the town square, seeing as they couldn't get anywhere close to the middle, because people were either dancing or it was just plain packed with flowers. Nina loved flowers a lot, but sometimes Lyla got carried away with this festival.

Then again Nina really couldn't blame her though. Last year the festival was canceled because there weren't enough flowers donated. This year was different though, and according to Maria, it was Faith who donated the majority of the flowers this year. It was odd. That girl couldn't do anything right on her farm, but yet she's the only reason why they had the Flower Festival this year. Maybe that was why she was always too busy to care about her farm. She wanted the villagers to have fun at the festival they missed last Spring.

Speaking of Faith, where was she. Nina hadn't seen her at all since yesterday. Scanning the crowd, Nina searched for the girl that she loathed so much. Ironic isn't it?

There she was, standing with Bob, talking to Ellen, and wearing the dumb smile on her face. Nina looked her over. Her brown hair was out of their normal pigtails for the first time, and had a slight curl to them. She wore flower earrings and a matching necklace around her neck. Her pink outfit stood out against her chocolate brown hair in a way that Nina's didn't with her hair.

Jealousy struck, and it hit hard. Nina shouldn't be feeling like this, she just knew that. But it was rather hard not to be jealous of a girl like Faith, who was always smiling, always the optimist, and even after all the times Nina's yelled at her, Faith always came back with that same dumb smile. She was just never bothered by any of it.

Usually people would say that Nina was the optimist, but lately it would seem to her that she was the total opposite. Sure, she was glad that Basil asked her to the festival, she was really happy about that, but she was always put down by the fact that Faith was the person everybody could love just by being around her. She made friends with no problem. And Faith just wanted to be Nina's friend.

By now Nina was sick with herself. Why was she thinking these things now!? She should be talking to Basil and Ann, not thinking about the peppy farmer. It sickened her to think about becoming friends with Faith. She wouldn't think about it. She would stay cold-hearted to the brown haired girl.

With that decided Nina took Basil by the arm and took him over to where Ann was, which just so happened to be very far away from Faith. The rest of the festival went really slow after that, but Nina made it a point to stay away from Faith the whole time.

The next morning Nina slept in late. She didn't get home until 11:00, which made her mom really mad. Liz made her daughter sit on the couch and explain to her why Nina came home so late. So she told her with a yawn that Basil had asked her to talk a walk with him along the beach. She accepted of course, never wanting to turn down the chance to be with him, even if it meant coming home later that what she should.

So the two of them walked on the beach right at the tide's reach. They talked about.. Stuff, but it was all to fuzzy to Nina at the point. She did remember that he said something about a small white flower that looks like it was made of glass. He said he found it on his last travel and that it only blooms in the summer where he was, or winter here. But he never got the chance to bring some seeds home with him, because they were really rare.

Liz smiled as Nina rubbed her eye and yawned again. Nina was growing up so fast. Liz remembered when Nina was six and always saying that she never wanted anything to do with any guy as long as she lived, those exact words. But over time she grew and changed her silly ideas. And as all (well mostly all) teenage girls do, she started to dream about her perfect guy that she would spend the rest of her life with.

Liz shooed Nina to bed, watching the girl stumble. Liz stood up and went to bed herself after climbing into her blue pajamas. Nina was so young still, but Liz could definitely trust Basil.

Nina climbed into bed, her pink pajamas with paw prints lay forgotten at the foot of her bed. She was just too tired to get dressed tonight. As she lay in bed she thought about what happened on the beach. Of course she didn't tell her mom, seeing as she would probably start to worry about her.

It wasn't anything of great importance, but to a girl it was. It shocked her when it happened and she swore that she could still feel his touch, so gentle, not wanting to hurt her. Basil had kissed her on the cheek before leaving her at the door to her house. Like she said, nothing of great importance, but it was her first.. Semi-kiss. That was why her mind was really fuzzy, and it still hadn't cleared up. Nina was expecting to have a crappy night's sleep.

A/N: Whoot! Ch dot four done! But holy dang! This story has absolutely no plot whatsoever. Seriously. I just keep creating stuff up in my mind as I wrote. The ending. Just came up with it. It was NOT planned. Dood… this sucks bananas…. ///

And this line: "they talked about stuff.." Seriously over used and still a really popular excuse. Gotta love over-usage sometimes.

Yeah, I really don't have much to say this time, but Yuan couldn't make it. I'm sorry!! sobs But I got cookies!

Oh, you don't review, no cookie for you!

R&R please and carrots!
