Chapter 9
The next morning when I woke up I actually beat my own alarm clock, that's right I was up and ready to get going by 6:20. I figured I was either crazy or the thought of being with Leah just wouldn't let me rest for long. I know that this is all a very strange assignment by our teacher, but at the same time it's a good way to show her how I feel and see if she feels the same way. If she didn't really care about me then she could have told him she wasn't comfortable doing the project with me, or that she would prefer acting as if it was a male and female relationship rather than a female and female relationship.
"Good morning mom" I said when she came down stairs to start up the coffee, and noticed me sitting at the table already drinking some.
"Good morning honey, what are you doing awake so early? Usually I have to go and drag you out of bed" she said with a chuckle as she poured her own cup of fresh coffee.
"I know you do, but for some reason I just couldn't really sleep that much I guess I was just too anxious or something."
"Would this have anything to do with that assignment for your Spanish class you were telling me about, and a certain Leah Clearwater." Yeah so yesterday I basically spilled my guts to my mom about everything, I mean that's just how we are I don't usually keep secrets from her, unless I know it is something I would prefer she never heard.
"Well yes I mean I am really happy that I will get to spend so much time with her. I mean I already told you I really like her mom and who knows maybe this could be it and something special could work out between the two of us you know."
"Well honey you know that I am happy for you, but I just want you to be careful alright don't get your hopes up to high, because if things don't work it will be a very hurtful fall." I know that my is probably right, but I just can't find it in me to care that much. I know it may sound crazy but I feel as if Leah and I just have some kind of special connection, like we are meant to be or something, and I'm determined to find out whether I am right or whether I am just plain crazy.
"I know mom and I promise to be careful but I just have to see if I'm right about us having a possible connection or something. I won't be happy into I do and now might be the only chance I have. But enough about me what about you huh and the date you have on Saturday with a certain doctor Clearwater." The second I said that my mom had a shy little smile on her face, and faint pink blush on her cheeks. My mom has spent the last couple of night's texting and talking on the phone to Adam, Leah's older brother. I mean is it completely wrong that my mom and I have the hots for siblings. I mean I know that sometimes siblings get crushes on siblings, but mother and daughter having a thing for a brother and sister.
"Well everything is fine, and yes we did make dinner plans for this Saturday, but honey I want to know are you really ok with this. I mean you really don't have a problem with me dating the older brother of the girl that you like so much. I mean I don't want to mess up any chance that you and Leah may have together." I think it is really sweet the way my mom seems to care so much, and to be honest at first it did completely creep me the thought of her dating him but I can't deny mom happiness. I mean my mom has done so much for me, and every time she mentions Adam she gets this big old smile on her face and I love seeing her happy.
"Mom I already told you I'm ok with it. Yeah maybe at first I was a bit uncomfortable with the idea but at the end of the day I don't care Leah makes me happy, and I can already see that Adam makes you happy. Aren't you the one who always told me be yourself and go after what you want, no matter what anybody else may think."
"You're right honey, so when on earth did you become the mature in this relationship." She said with a laugh as wrapped me into a half-hug.
"Oh mom I've always been the mature one I was just giving you time for you to figure it out on your own duh." I said with a laugh as I made my way to my room to get dress for the day.
The weather looks sort of nice told plus I actually want to look nice for Leah so I decided to wear my black skirt, with a gray tank top tucked inside of the skirt, my black leather jacket, my silver, and finally my small black heel boots. The song 'I'm bringing sexy back' by Justin Timberlake popped into my head for a second as I looked at myself in the mirror. I decided to just leave my hair down to its natural curls; I got to admit I look good right about right about now.
"Honey are you ready to go?" my mom asked as I made my way into the living room.
"Yup all done we should get going now, Leah and I still have to talk with the guys and make sure they are ok with our plans for today." I said once I got my bag ready.
"Ok, well I hope you have fun today, and do you know what time you will be back from the beach I don't want you to get that it is a school night alright."
"I know mom and probably like around nine or something I promise to call and text you when I know for sure, or when I'm on the way home ok" I know my mom just wants to make sure I'm safe, but still I would really just love to have some fun.
"Ok well be good and have fun alright, and you know I just want to make sure that you are always safe."
"I know mom, and you know I love you for that, and I promise not to be home any later than say nine, and if I do think I will be later then I will call you and tell you does that sound alright" I said attempting to make a compromise when I noticed that we were about to arrive to school already.
"Yup that sounds like a good deal. Have a good day alright soon; I hope you love meeting Leah for the first time." My mom said with a laugh.
"Alright mom, and don't forget starting tomorrow she is a stranger and we will form a relationship, which probably means that is a stranger to you as well." I said with a laugh.
"Ok honey I understand well I'll see you after school, you still need me to pick you up right?" she asked right before I got out of the car.
"Yeah mom that will be great see you then, love you" I said as I got out and waved her goodbye. Once I started walking towards the building I noticed Leah and the guys standing in the hallway.
"Hey look who is here the future Mrs. Clearwater" Collin said with a laugh.
"Yeah, yeah laugh it up now boys just know starting tonight you guys can no longer make fun of me and Leah because that will ruin the whole assignment." I said dong my best attempt at looking stern.
"We promise to be good, honey so since you and Leah are going to be married does that mean we are going to have to end our little love affair, or are we just going to do it behind her back." Brady said with a laugh as he came behind me and pushed me towards his chest. Seriously these guys are crazy; I do not even know why I am friends with them.
"Oh Brady you know our relationship will always be a special one for me, and I just can't seem to find the right kind of words that describes just what kind of guy you are too me." I said with a chuckle.
"Oh looks like April is about to be getting something in more than one way." Collin said with his big mouth.
"Oh shut up Collin don't hate just because I actually pay attention to Brady and not you." I said with a giggle.
"Oh come on you don't have to lie, I know you want me and are just afraid that you won't be able to handle all I got to over." Collin said as he ran his hand over his body.
"Oh yeah I'm sure you have a lot offer me, Collin don't you know what they say the bigger the attitude, the bigger you make yourself most likely the smaller your ding-a-ling. " I said with a laugh, as Collin's face went from cocky smile to a grim.
"Oh come on April why you gotta be so damn mean to me, you know I love you girl." Collin said with a whiney voice.
"Because its fun being mean, it makes me smile and feel all warm inside when I see you sad."
"That's just so mean; you're hurting my feelings girl." Collin said with a pout and even though I was having some serious small I did want to make him smile.
"Oh come here give me a hug you big softy." I said as I ran up to him and wrapped my hands around his waist and he gave me a big hug back. I noticed the rest of the group just looking at us with a kind of weird look and then glancing towards Leah.
"Wow I guess now we know why the guys love spending time with April, she is clearly very friendly." Kim said with some serious attitude and disgust in her voice.
"Oh shut up Kim April isn't doing anything wrong she is just having some fun with us that is all ok, we all know that April has no interest in us at all." Brady said with some serious attitude that seriously surprised me. Whenever I saw Brady and Collin I would think fun and sweet, but the fact that he would stand up for me really touched me. I can't say why I am so friendly with them, but there is just something about them that makes it easy to be able and talk with them.
"Thanks for standing up for Brady but it's alright some narrow-minded people will keep on saying stupid things no matter how idiotic they may sound." I said as I patted my hand on Brady's chest.
"Thanks April but I still hate it you don't do anything wrong and everyone here knows that nothing would happen between us, or with you and Collin yet they try to make you seem like the bad girl." He said clearly pissed of which kind of surprised me a bit, I mean I knew that him and Collin liked talking to me it's just now when I realized just how much. I couldn't help but be touched by how sweet they were being, and kind of protective.
"Well don't let it bother you too much alright, you are too young and good looking to be getting wrinkles already" I said with a chuckle and I got a smile in return from him. "Oh there is that smile that I've come to love." I said as I gave a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"So one of the reasons I came over here is to check and see if Leah had filled you in on our plans for today." I said as I went to stand next to Leah but still have a hold on Brady, since he still felt a little tense.
"We haven't even started our relationship and you are already loosing trust in me." Leah said with a chuckle.
"Oh baby you know that I could never lose trust in you, I just want to make sure these guys remembered everything you said, I mean you know how slow they can be" I said with a chuckle.
"Hey I take complete offence to that I remember exactly what Leah had told us, we are all going to the beach by 3:45 where you two will meet for the first time, we have to treat her as a stranger, and we are having a bonfire with food." Seth said in a funny little voice showing that he remembered every little word.
"Well it's good to know that at least one of you guys listens." I said with a chuckle. "So then everyone is ok with the plan, and I will see you all around four o'clock." I said looking around at everyone, and almost everyone nodded their heads in a yes, of course the only ones who didn't where Kim and Emily. Just as Kim was going to open her mouth, again, Jared gave a look that simply said not one word right now.
"Ok so as much fun as this is right now, we should probably get going to class the bell is going to ring soon." Leah said as she took a look at her watch.
"Yup you are probably right so see everyone at lunch." I said as I waved goodbye and began walking towards class.
"Hold up April I will walk with you." I heard Jared say as he kissed Kim goodbye, or great why the hell would he want to walk with me I'm not in the mood for a fight. I gave a quick glance towards Paul and Leah and they just nodded their hands in re-assurance.
"Alright sure no problem, we should probably hurry on up." I said as I began to slowly walk backwards.
"Okay good so how have you been?" Jared asks me casually.
"Well besides being sick, and getting into a fight with your girlfriend and Emily I've been peachy how about you?" I asked sarcasm clearly in my voice.
"Yeah I've been good, and I just want to apologize about the way that Kim and Emily have been treating you it is completely unfair." He said apologizing for me, which is sweet but at the same time it is unfair.
"Thanks Jared but it isn't you who should be apologizing, it should be Kim and Emily. All you did was stand next to your girlfriend; if anything you should have said something when they were saying things to me." I said serious, I mean it's nice that he's apologizing but if he really was sorry he should have done something when it was happening.
"And you are completely right she shouldn't have said those things about you or about Paul and I will keep on apologizing until you see that I mean it." He sounded pretty determined about that idea.
"I forgive you Jared for not standing up for me, but I'm not accepting the apology for Kim and Emily if they really want to then they can apologize to me on their own not through you." I said as I began to walk towards my seat.
"Thanks, but you know the chances of them apologizing are incredibly slim right?"
"Yeah I know and I don't care, guess that just means I won't be friends with them any time soon" and with that I took my seat and prepared for class to start.
The rest of my classes were ok same as always, math class had a small lecture then time to start homework, history lecture all day and for health had a small lecture then a bunch of worksheets to get done that were due tomorrow. I did try to get as much work done as I could in my classes so I wouldn't have much to do once I got home tonight. By the time lunch rolled around my stomach was growling for some food.
"Hello April ready to get your grub on" I heard Collin say being seeing him coming down the hallway. These boys sure are loud, but if I have to be honest I am kind of surprised that most of them are single. I mean they are all good looking and funny guys. Who knows maybe they are ready for Ms. Right, but how many guys would ever do that?
"Yup sure am I think your guys appetite is starting to rub off on me now" I said with a chuckle as I began to grab my lunch. This consisted of a hamburger, French fries, bag of Doritos, salad, and a coke.
"I guess you weren't kidding about our appetite rubbing of on you I've never seen you get that much to each before girl" Brady said as he grabbed his own plate which was still way bigger than mine. I mean he had two hamburger, fries, chips, pizza, apple, and two cokes. When I looked at Collin's plate it looked exactly the same, minus the apple.
"But it doesn't matter how much I eat because it will never compare to the amount of food you two and the rest of the guys can shove into your mouth. I mean seriously how do you guys eat so much and still keep the body you have?" I was latterly dumbstruck right about now.
"Simple we work out a whole lot, running playing sports with each builds up our metabolism which causes us to eat more." Brady said, and if I have to be honest his answer seemed kind of practiced. Like in case someone asked them that, they wanted to know exactly what to say.
"Well I guess that makes sense, but seriously your grocery bill must be high." I said with a chuckle as we approached the table, and once again I got to sit down next to Leah while Brady sat on my other side and Collin next to him.
"You have more food than usual" I heard Leah point out.
"Yeah I know I think the guy's eating habit is starting to rub off on me" I said with a chuckle.
"Maybe it is, but I'm sure we can work it off pretty easily." She said with a smile as she began to eat her burger.
"Yup which I am probably going to have to do, if I eat like this every day, I use to work out in L.A. but I haven't really been doing much of that around here yet." I said with a sigh.
"Well don't worry I can get you back to working out I like to go running on the weekends and do some work outs during the week as well, to stay in shape."
"Well that is good and I will love your assistance, especially if it means I end up with as hot a body as yours" my mouth said before my brain was able to stop it. I froze eating midway and took a glance at Leah who was just staring at me.
"So you think that I am hot?" she asked as she stared me in the eye.
"I wouldn't have said if I didn't mean" I figured that I could lie, but I might as well just keep on being honest.
"Well you might think I'm hot, but trust me when I say I love your body, and every curve you have. You shouldn't try to change a thing about how you look" she whispered in my ear which caused for a shiver to run down my body.
"Well then I will try not to change too much for you, wouldn't want you to lose interest in me now would I" I whispered back in her ear, and I know that I felt the shiver go down her body.
"Oh trust me I don't think anything you do could make me lose any interest in you." When I noticed how close we were a part of me was really tempted to just grab her and kiss her.
"Seriously are they about to kiss, because that would be so hot right now" I heard a very annoying Collin say near me, which seemed to snap Leah and I out of our daze and remind us that we were in the school cafeteria.
"Way to ruin a moment with your big mouth Collin, now we won't be seeing any action." Embry groaned.
"Would all of you shut up that is my sister you guys are all talking about" Seth moaned out, while putting his face in his hands. I couldn't help but let out a blush at the things they were saying.
"Oh look guys April is blushing, isn't that sweet" Brady said while laughing, oh I want to kill them all.
"I'm not blushing my face is red, because I feel hot that's all" I said the first lame excuse that I could think of.
"Oh so you mean you're getting hot of the heat that you and Leah are having, oh maybe we should get you some ice to cool you down" Collin said with a laugh, receiving a high five form Brady.
"Would you guys just shut up already, so what if she is turned out by Leah you don't need to point it out she is embarrassed enough in front of us." I heard Paul say that with a don't make me tell you twice kind of tone.
"Sorry we were just trying to have some fun, sorry April we shouldn't have kept picking on you." Brady apologized while Collin shook his head in agreement.
"It's alright guys I get it u were just having some fun, I just get easily embarrassed when it comes to things like this that is all." I said with a small smile.
"Alright well we promise to try and be nicer once your relationship does begin ok" Brady told me.
"Alright guys that sound good, you know you two are pretty great though. I think I might change the order of guys I would date if I was straight." I said with a smile.
"Oh yeah we moved up man." Collin said with a cheesy smile as him and Brady high fived.
"Ok I'm going to be nice, but do that one more time and you will move back down the line." I said with a laugh.
"Hold is does that mean I'm your number one now?" Collin asked me.
"No it means you are my number two now, and Brady number three" I said with a smile.
"So then who the heck is number one?" Collin asked confused by what guy I would put ahead of him.
"Number one girl will always be Leah, but number one guy is Paul sorry guys" I said with a small smile and shrug of my shoulders.
"Geeze man we can never win, but at least we beat out everyone else so I guess I am cool with it" Collin said with a smile.
"Like anybody else would want to be a part of the stupid list, nobody else here would want to hook up with her." This time it was Emily that said that, with some serious attitude.
"Is that true Emily or are you only saying that because the guys have a new toy to play which means the old toys, aka you and Kim are about as good as garbage bags now." I said back with the same amount of attitude, I was tired of playing little miss nice girl with the two of them.
"Who the fuck do you think you are saying that we are like trash bags, even anything you are the trash bag you dirty slut!" Emily yelled at me.
"Alright you know I am tired of this shit, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. You can keep talking shit and I can show just how mean of a bitch I can be or you can shut you trap and we can go on with ignoring each other" I said with pissed off by the both of them. But that seem to do the trick because both of them just looked at each other and sighed with some pissed of looks on their faces.
"Damn, you know I kind of want to see what bitchy April is like" I heard Paul say.
"Trust me you don't, I'm not the nicest when I get really pissed off and I'm even worse if I was to get into an actual physical fight" I said being completely honest. I may be sweet but I do know how to be a real bitch
"Alrighty looks like Leah is about to have her hand full with you." Seth said with a chuckle.
"Yes but it will be a very good handful, I mean have you seen me" I said with a chuckle as I stood up and showed off my body which every guy at the table was openly staring at. "See what I mean non e of you can seem to keep your eyes of off mean and you can't even see much." I said with a cocky smile on my face.
"Damn girl you sure are cocky, and that's actually pretty hot. You sure there is no chance that you have no interest in guys?" Paul asked with a cocky little smile on his face.
"Yes Paul I am a hundred percent sure I am completely straight, but thanks for the acknowledgment" I said with a smile as I sat back down. I was being honest I have no interest in guys what so ever, but there is nothing wrong in having some fun, and I can't lie I kind of love the attention that they give me it makes me feel good about myself.
"Better watch out Leah looks like Paul is making a move on your girl, before she even becomes fully yours" I heard Jacob said with a laugh.
"Paul can have all the fun he likes, but he knows better than to try something more." She replied with a serious tone and gave Paul a look, and he just gave another cocky smile. It made me happy to see her react like that, so I guess I might be right above us having a connection.
"While it's really sweet the way you guys all love to fight for my attention we should probably all get going now, seeing as we only have like three minutes until lunch is over." I said with a smile as I walked over towards the trash can to throw away my food. Just as I got back to the table the bell ringed, signaling that lunch is over.
"Well guess we should get going, so I guess we will meet up at the beach around three forty-five?" Embry asked as we all began to walk away.
"Yup sounds good bye everybody." Leah and I waved goodbye as we began to walk towards our Spanish class.
Of course Spanish was pretty boring, all Mr. Gonzales did was talk about the assignment and how we should try to get started on it by today or tomorrow. He just kept talking about how each girl and guy should make sure and to their part in a relationship. That right now it will be some of the male's responsibility but later on the female will have to come up with much more ideas. As he kept on talking I felt myself get madder and madder. I mean did he forget about the fact that Leah and I are in the class and are doing it as two females. I mean could he try and be a little more respectful. Could he try saying each partner or member instead of female and male? I could feel that Leah was getting annoyed as well by the way she breathing and the way she kept on putting her hands in a fist. So I don't know what made me do it but I stretched out my hand and grabbed her fist to wrap my fingers with her. I instantly felt her start to calm down, and I began to calm down as well. That is how we sat the rest of class holding hands, and our tongues making sure that we do not say anything rude to our teacher.
The rest of my classes were pretty boring I was actually pretty anxious for today, and excited. As soon as the bell rung I headed for my locker to get my stuff. As I left the school to meet my mom I noticed my Leah and all the guys leaving already, I guess there were going to go get everything set up. When I got home I checked the time and saw it was 3:20 and I agreed to be at the beach by 4:00 so I decided to do the very little math homework I had left, and by the time I finished it was 3:40. The only other homework I left was history, which was just one worksheet that I could easily get done once I back home, I mean it takes like ten minutes. So I headed to my room and threw on a red bikini underneath my outfit and checked my reflection one last time to make sure I looked alright, and then I headed out with my purse, blanket, book, and keys and waved goodbye to my mom.
As soon as I got to the beach I noticed all the guys sitting on some blankets with a bunch of food around them, and decided to sit a couple of fit away from them. I set down my blanket, and took my book out of my bag to read it while I waited.
"Hello there, hoping I'm not disturbing you" I heard someone saying right as I began reading the second chapter of my book, "but I couldn't help but notice you while I was sitting with my friends" as I turned my head up I noticed her standing there staring at me.
"Oh no it's fine I was just reading nothing fun. So what exactly do you mean by you noticed?" I asked curious to her answer.
"I mean I noticed a beautiful girl sitting on a blanket reading, and I couldn't help but feel like I should come over here and talk to her." She said with a smile.
"Well that is very sweet of you, and I'm happy that you did because I probably would not have done it." I said with a smile, and I couldn't help but look her body up and down. She was wearing some blue shorts that ended about three inches above her knees, a white tank top, a simple blue jacket and some sandals. Although the outfit sounds simple I couldn't keep my eyes of her, because it showed all of her great details.
"So I'm not being to forward right now?" she asked kind of nervously.
"If you I would have something, but clearly I'm still sitting here" I said with a smile as don't you think I would I pointed to my seat.
"I guess that is true, so I was wondering if maybe you like to join me and my friends. We are just hanging out and eating some food." She looked back to all her friends, and I noticed that the majority of guys were staring at us, and that one of the guys had a really hard look on his face.
"So I have to choose between sitting here and reading a book, or going to spend some time with a beautiful girl and get to know her better. What a hard decision" I said with a chuckle as I pretended to be thinking. "You know what I think I will go with the beautiful girl." I said with a chuckle as I gathered all of my things together. "So what is your name?" I asked.
"My name is Leah Clearwater. Yours would be?" She asked me, Leah a unique and beautiful name.
"My name is April Gonzales." I said with a smile.
"Well April I've lived here my whole life and come to the beach probably three times a week and I do not remember ever seeing you." She said as we began to make our way towards her friends.
"Well that's because I just moved here about two weeks ago, and this is only like my second time coming to the beach." I said which is actually the truth, I mean if you include the time I came with Leah it would have been three times, but since I said it was like my second then I am not really lying.
"Oh ok, so where did you move from?"
"I moved from Los Angeles, my mom got a job offer down here for the elementary school, so we moved as soon as we could."
"Oh well I guess a job is a good reason to move, so how do you feel about moving from sunny California to rainy Washington?" She said with a chuckle.
"Well if I have to be honest when my mom first told me I was actually kind of upset I mean I've lived in L.A. my whole life, so the idea of moving did make me miserable. But after living here for about two weeks, I kind of realized that it is not too bad. I mean at least there is a beach, the people are pretty friendly and now I get hit on by beautiful girl, so I am not complaining." I said with a smile, and I noticed a small blush show up on her face when I mentioned meeting a beautiful girl.
"Well it is good that you like living here now, I mean I know it is a small town which makes it kind of boring, but when you have friends to spend time with it makes it a little easier." She said with a smile.
"Yeah that's true plus there is always the fact that once I graduate high school I could always move somewhere else for college, it's not like I have to stay here for the rest of my life." I said with a chuckle but I stopped laughing when I noticed her face get kind of sad at the comment. But the frown quickly disappeared and she just looked kind of neutral, which makes me wonder what I could have said that was so bad.
"Yeah that's true I mean leaving the reservation sure would be nice, going to any college you would like." But the way she said it made it her sound so sad, so it makes me wonder if maybe there is something that might keep her here, and I felt like I had to do something to make her smile again.
"But I also know that if there was a special enough reason, or a special enough person I would be willing to remain here and not mind. I mean and when it comes to college there is always university of Washington, community school, even online classes." I know that I mean everything that I said, and as soon as I said it I saw a smile re-appear on her face.
"I have to agree if there is someone here for you it makes it all more special." As soon as she said that I realized that we had arrived to where all of her friends were currently sitting and joking around with each other.
"Well hello there who is this good looking girl." I heard one of the guys say when we finally approached them.
"Shut up she isn't here for you alright, so don't go trying any of your shit." Leah told him with a glare, and I couldn't help but chuckle a little. I mean we just met and she is already being defensive, which I found really cute.
"Awwh I get is so she is here to spend some quality time with you" he said with a chuckle.
"Actually I am here to spend some time with her, and get to know her better got a problem with that?" I said with a little attitude in my voice.
"I aint got no problem with it honey, whatever floats your boat. Just know she is my friend so watch how you act with her." He said getting pretty serious at the end. I wanted to tell him that I would never hurt Leah, because hurting her is like hurting me, but I did not want to sound crazy.
"Well no worries I know I just met her but she seems like a sweet girl to me. I have no plans of wanting to hurt her, I just want to get to know her better, is that ok with you?" I asked with a smirk on my face.
"That's fine with me, so I guess you'll be joining us." He stated rather then asked.
"Yes she is, we should sit down April and I will introduce you to everyone." Leah said as we sat a little further away from everyone else on our own blanket. "Ok well these are all my friends, you already met Paul the guy next to him is Collin, then his twin brother Brady, then there is Jacob, Embry, Quill who can be a bit of an ass, then my little brother Seth, the last two guys are Jared and Paul. The girls sitting with them are Kim, Jared's girlfriend, and Emily, Sam's girlfriend." Well that sure was a whole lot of people. All the guys just looked so alike in ways it was kind of weird. I know that Collin and Brady are brothers, and that Seth is her little brother but if she wouldn't have said that I probably would have thought they were all related somehow.
"Hi there nice to meet all of you" I said with what I hope was a nice smile. Hey all gave me smiles and waves in response.
"So April why you tell me more about you?" Leah asked as she looked at me.
"Well what kind of things would you like to know? I mean the simple things are that I am seventeen, a junior, my favorite color is blue, I am Puerto Rican, I love singing when no one is listening, I can play the guitar, I love writing, and at times I can be girl but at the same time I have my tomboy moments." I said with a small chuckle. "What about something about u?" I asked back.
"Well I'm eighteen, a senior, my favorite color is blue as well as purple, I am Quileute, I'm not the greatest singer but I do love to draw and I have to say that I am not really a girly girl, I mean I love playing sports and getting dirty and if I don't have to wear a skirt or dress then I don't" she said with a chuckle.
"Well I think it's cool that you're a tomboy, I mean doesn't each relationship have the one person that is a little more girly and one person that more boyish." I said as I bumped my shoulder with hers.
"I completely agree with that, so what type of music do you like to listen to, and what type of things do you like writing about?" she asked.
"Well I kind of listen to a little bit of everything but I really love like hip hop, r&b, a little bit of rock, some country, some pop, and a whole lot of Spanish music." I said with a smile and she just looked at me and smiled. "For writing it can be anything, sometimes I write poetry about the way that I am feeling or anything that I learn or feel is important. I like writing short stories that I don't really show to people, because I get kind of nervous. What about you, what kind of paintings do you do, and what kind of music do you listen to?"
"Well for paintings it's kind of like your writing it's whatever I feel at a certain moment or anything I might see that I can't get out of my mind so I just paint what I thought and what I felt when I saw it. For music I like a little rock, I do like hip hop and r&b as well, and a little pop sometimes if I like the song, that's really what it's all about." She said with a smile.
"Yeah I agree with that it's all about whether you like the song or not, and I think it's amazing that you paint and draw. Trust me when I say my art skills are like horrible, I mean when I use to volunteer at a pre-school some of the kids drew better than I did." I said with a laugh, but being completely serious at the same time.
"Well maybe I can help you out with that problem" she said as she leaned back and looked at me.
"Oh yeah and what do you suggest we could do?" I asked as I moved a little closer to her.
"Well I was thinking maybe some private lessons, I teach you how to draw better and you can teach me how to play the guitar." She said with a smile.
"Well I would definitely love to do something like that." I said with a smile.
"Hey so the weather looks pretty nice right now and the beach is pretty empty, you want to jump in for a swim?" I asked trying to be a little flirtier with her. I mean the girl is hot and I really want to spend some more alone time with her.
"Yup I could definitely go for that" she said as she got up and took of all her clothes, revealing a very cute black bikini that just had me ogling her whole body. I did not even hesitate a second I jumped right up and took of all my clothes and ran after her right away.
We spent the next couple of hours playing in the water and messing around with each other. But at the same time just talking about ourselves, our family and friends. What is something we've always wanted to do in the future and the list kind of keeps going on and on. I mean I learned more about her in those couple of ours then I had in two weeks. It felt amazing, and it felt as if this connection we seemed to have was just growing more and more. I was sad when I checked my phone and realized that it was approaching nine o'clock and I had to get going home, and so did she. Just as I was getting re-dressed and packing up my things she approached me again.
"So I had a lot of fun with you today, honestly the most fun I have had in a while. I really do want to see you again and get to know more about you, so I was wondering if maybe I could have your number?" She asked kind of shyly which I thought was super cute. I mean when first looking at her she looks like this tough girl who isn't afraid of anything, but when she really starts talking you start to realize there is so much more than meets the eye. I for one wanted to get to know every little thing about Leah Clearwater.
"I would love to give you my number, do you happen to have your phone on you." When she pulled out her phone I took it to punch in my number, and then called my phone so that I could have her number. "So now we both have each other's numbers" I said when I handed hers back.
"That's great so maybe I can text you tomorrow or something?" she asked me with a smile.
"I would love that, bye Leah Clearwater I hope to see you very soon." I said just as started to walk away but at the last second I changed my mind. I ran back to her and gave a kind of long peck on the cheek, trying to let her know that I do feel something between us. "Don't take too long ok" I whispered in her, right before I ran off and when I looked over my shoulder I noticed that she was still standing with a hand on her cheek and a smile on her face. Then I heard a beep go of on my phone, probably my mom texting to see if I'm on the way.
Don't worry I don't plan on taking long at all, I read out and that text was definitely not from my mother, and I couldn't stop the smile that broke out on my face as I continued home. This I have to say has been one of the best days ever and I know things can only get better form here.
