Chapter 6
"Jen!" Someone was shouting in her ear and shaking her awake. "Jennifer Lei! Wake up!" and with one sharp jolt, Jennifer slowly opened her eyes. She saw a bunch of blonde curls with a smiling face in between.
"She's up!" Jennifer heard Cathryn shout. She closed her eyes again, but then felt two people jumping on her bed. She slowly opened her eyes again and saw two blurred figures, one with blonde curly hair and the other with long red hair. They were both dressed in denim shorts and singlet tops.
"Get off Cathryn! And you too Karina!" Jennifer said sleepily, trying to swat the two jumping figures away. She heard a guys voice and the two jumping girls stopped and hopped off the bed.
Jennifer looked beside her at the clock and saw that it was only 9 in the morning. She groaned and rolled back, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She felt a person sit down next to her and when she opened her eyes, she was faced with a handsome face and a mischievous smile, his white blond hair slicked back.
"Hey Draco" Jennifer yawned. Draco leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "We need to talk." Jennifer nodded in reply and saw that everyone was staring at them, smiling.
"What are you guys doing here?" Jennifer asked, trying to wake herself up.
"We called earlier to see if you guys wanted to go to the beach today. Cath and Karina were already up and dressed by the time we arrived, so they decided to wake you up, to see if you wanted to go." Leon said simply.
"Ok then, just give me a second." Jennifer yawned and stretched and slowly sat up. Everyone started chatting again and getting comfortable while Jennifer started getting ready.
When she was all ready to go, they headed off in a good mood towards the beach. They picked a spot that was pretty much away from the crowds and set up their things there.
The three girls laid out there beach towels and lay down upon them in their bikinis.
"Why do girls always feel the need they need to sun bake?" Leon asked Henry and Draco.
"Hey, chalk, get out of the way, your blocking the sunlight" Cathryn propped herself up on her elbows and was trying to make Leon move by swatting at him with her hand.
"Chalk, am I?" Leon pretended to look shocked. "Let me teach you a lesson my dear sister" and started smiling his mischievous smile.
"I don't like the look of that Cath!" Karina exclaimed, opening her eyes a bit.
"Don't you dare do anything!" Cathryn warned, pointing up a finger at him. Leon just kept on smiling and walked slowly towards her. "What are you going to do?" Cathryn asked cautiously, smiling as well.
Leon suddenly bent down, picked Cathryn up and carried his screaming sister down to the water where he dumped her. The others laughed as they watched the two siblings fighting in the water.
"Cathryn's kicking his ass!" Henry laughed. "Maybe I should help him" and with that, he took off towards the water. Karina took one look at Jennifer and Draco and ran off after Henry shouting, "Wait for me!"
Jennifer looked over to Draco and rolled her eyes.
"Do you think they're trying to tell us something?" Draco asked, looking at them. He laid out his beach towel, took off his top and lay down. Jennifer laughed and they both watched their friends in silence.
"We need to talk" Jennifer finally said, looking at Draco.
"Yeah I know." Draco sighed, not looking away from the sea.
"What happened yesterday?" Jennifer asked bluntly.
"We..." Draco trailed off.
"We kissed, and we got caught" Jennifer said, slightly blushing.
"Yeah..." Draco replied, trailing off again.
"You're not exactly contributing to this conversation!" Jennifer said, feeling her temper rise slightly.
"Well I'm sorry, but I just don't know what to say!" Draco replied evenly, turning his head to look at her.
"Ugh, typical. We share a special moment yesterday and you just blow it off today!" Jennifer snapped back, lying back down on her towel and closing her eyes.
"You thought it was special?" Draco asked, a small smile playing on his lips.
"Geez, for a good looking guy, you sure are dumb!" Jennifer replied angrily, not moving from her spot. Draco's grin soon turned into a wide smile.
"You think I'm good looking?" Draco teased. Jennifer mumbled something that sounded something like, "Typical" and didn't reply.
Draco lay back down on his towel with his hands behind his head, closing his eyes. They were silent for a couple of minutes, the only noise coming from their friends playing in the water and the birds calling out to each other overhead. Occasionally, they heard distant shouts from other people further along the beach.
"You want to go see a movie tonight?" Draco suddenly asked, breaking the silence between them. Jennifer opened her eyes and looked at Draco. He was still lying down, eyes closed and arms behind his head.
.::.He looks so arrogant.::.
She thought with disgust, but then remembered yesterday. She put her head back and closed her eyes. For a while, Draco thought she hadn't heard him, but then Jennifer replied.
"Sounds good"
Draco looked at Jennifer and saw her smiling, eyes closed with her arms behind her head. He started laughing and soon, Jennifer was laughing with him.
"Come here" Draco jumped up and scooped Jennifer up in his arms. She started screaming, yelling and kicking, but Draco wouldn't let go until he was in the water, and he repeated what Leon did to Cathryn earlier.
"You're dead Draco Malfoy!" Jennifer screamed when she emerged from the water, but as soon as she said that, she felt someone jump on her back, bringing her back down into the water.
When she emerged for the second time, she turned around, to see Leon grinning back at her, his blue eyes twinkling.
"Didn't our dear mother tell you never to hit girls?" Cathryn shouted from the side and jumped on top of her brother. Jennifer started laughing and after that, it was an all out water war, girls versus guys.
After awhile, Jennifer stood apart, looking at her friends, laughing. Draco saw this and slyly sneaked behind her. Before she had a chance to figure out he was there, he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her out of the water.
Jennifer screamed and started kicking. Draco lost his balance and fell into the water, dragging Jennifer with him. Jennifer appeared laughing and a second later, Draco appeared. She pulled him closer and kissed him.
"What was that for?" Draco asked, when they pulled away.
"I don't know" Jennifer said smiling. Draco smiled back and kissed her. Jennifer moved her hands so they were resting on top of Draco's head. She then pulled away and pushed his head down under the water.
The six friends stayed at the beach all day and watched the sun set over the horizon. They then packed their things and walked back.
"Jen!" Someone was shouting in her ear and shaking her awake. "Jennifer Lei! Wake up!" and with one sharp jolt, Jennifer slowly opened her eyes. She saw a bunch of blonde curls with a smiling face in between.
