Cool water lapped at his toes…………rough sand grated at his feet. Nathan jogged down the beach, the sun was just creeping over the edge of the mountains. Signaling another beautiful day ahead.
Long lean legs ate up the sand, as he ran. Towards the sun, so he couldn't see what was directly in front of him………till he almost tripped over it.
Nathan quickly sidestepped a sandcastle and its owner.
I was waiting for so long…………for a miracle to come……………
Mocha eyes stared at him warily. "Who are you?" her velvety voice asked.
"My name's Nathan Scott, I'm here for the summer in that blue and white cabin on the corner." Smiling cockily, he waited for her to stammer or blush, or flirt.
Nothing…………..she just stared at him, watching, assessing…Judging.
"Why are you building a sandcastle?" Nathan asked her.
"I enjoy creating things, even if they aren't mean to last." Her eyes looked up at him.
"Can I help?" he got down on his knees.
"I have to go." Hurriedly, she got to her feet. "Enjoy, your run………..it's a beautiful day." She smiled sweetly and walked away.
"Wait, what's your name?" Nathan yelled.
"Late. I have somewhere else to be right now." Lifting a hand in a soft wave of farewell.
Nathan watched her scurry down the beach, like a scared crab. Soon he would find out the mystery behind her mocha eyes……………Smiling, he turned and ran back to his cabin.

Only the first of many encounters between Nate and Haley…………..
