Chapter 2
To Tell Or Not To Tell
It was a nice sunny day as usual in Blue Bay Harbor and another perfect day at the beach- where of course Tori could be found hitting the waves and showing off her skills to the other surfers. Not that she needed to prove herself to anyone but it still felt good to know that she was just as good as any other talented surfer.
Tori sat on her board in the water while waiting for a perfect wave to come along. The guys had asked her if she wanted to go to the mall with them earlier but she decided to pass. She thought she'd rather go surfing since there hadn't really been any good swells that week until that afternoon. Besides she had some things she just had to sort out in her mind. Tori looked up just in time to see the guys heading towards her stuff. She saw the perfect wave coming up behind her and she decided to take it in. She layed out on her stomach and began to paddle then she slowly stood up as she rode the wave in. She jogged up the beach to the guys and stuck her board in the sand.
"Hey guys". She breathed out. "How was the mall?"
"Same old, same old ya know- saw something I liked couldn't afford it then bummed all the way home" Dustin said.
"Don't forget getting turned down by every girl you approached for her number" Hunter spoke jokingly.
"Dude you don't have to remind me, and I did get at least one number from that one chick"
"And which one would that be?" Shane asked. "The one who called security on you or the one who you gave your number to but she ended up giving it back to you?" Everyone just started busted out laughing. Dustin gave Shane this evil look and Shane immediately stopped laughing. "Sorry bro" Shane added with a grin.
Meanwhile during the four guys arguing over how Dustin sucks at meeting girls, Blake was standing there staring at the beauty that stood only a few feet away from him and thinking about what the other guys had told him at the mall.
(FLASHBACK- AT THE MALL)
"Dudes can we like stop at the food court cuz my stomach is like buggin yo" Dustin asked while they were walking out of Pac Sun.
"Yea I second that man" Shane added.
"It's a good thing we decided to come to the mall on the day they were having a sale" Hunter said.
"Too bad Tori didn't want to come with us, I saw a few things even she would have gone all crazy over" Shane said as they headed to go fuel their stomachs.
"Well you know Tori man, she's just not the kind of "gurl" to go gaga over the whole "going to the mall thing" Dustin added. "Besides there's no getting between her and her surfing".
The guys all went to go get what they wanted to eat and then all met up at an empty table. Dustin got Taco Bell, Cam got Subway, while the other three got Chinese.
"Ewww.....how can you guys eat that stuff? It's like all........steam broccoli-ish" Dustin said disgusted.
"I'm guessing someone was the kind of kid who got forced to eat his vegetables when they were younger" Hunter said jokinly.
Dustin rolled his eyes and went back to eating his Chilupa.
Hunter looked over to his left and noticed Blake playing with his food. He had barely even touched it. "Hey bro, you ok? You seem distant – there something wrong? You've barely said like one word today" Hunter asked concerned.
Blake looked up from his food and at his brother, "Nah man I'm fine- just thinking". "Bout what?" asked Hunter. "Nothing, it's not that big of a deal". "Well obviously it is if it's got you concentrating so hard that you can't even eat" "Now tell me what the matter is" Hunter demanded. "See I've got this friend who likes this girl and he's not sure If he should tell her or not because he's afraid she may not feel the same way" Blake said. "Really and who mite this girl be". "Uh.....You don't know her, she just moved here- she's new in town" Blake stuttered.
Cam, Dustin and Shane were overhearing the conversation going on between the brothers and decided to join in.
"Dude you suck at trying to cover up" Shane said. Blake blushed. "Look why don't you just stop beating around the bush and tell Tori how you feel about her already" Cam added. "Huh.....how do you guys even know if I'm even talking about me?"
"Ok, dude first of all you ain't got any other friends besides us and second of all it's freakin obvious" Dustin said while throwing out his trash. "If you like her just tell her".
"What if she doesn't feel the same way?"
The guys looked at each then back at to Blake. They gave him this yea rite look, and then they all just started blurting out laughing. Blake stood there with a confused look on his face. "Why are yall laughing, what's so funny?" Dustin was the first to speak. "Ok I know I'm the slow one and all, but dude even I can notice when she's totally flirting with you".
"So you think I should tell her?"
"Dude I think you should do more than that- I think you should ask her out on a date" Hunter said.
"You really think she's go along with it"
"Ok are we like not getting through to you or are you just not listening to us" Shane asked. "I'll say this in Dustin terms"
"Hey" Dustin shouted as he was leaving the group to go get some ice cream.
"Anyway look, you like Tori and she likes you and we all know that you two like each other. So do us all a favor and ask her out already. Trust me she's not gonna turn you down".
"If you think so". "We don't think so, we know so. We all know you're like totally in love with her."
Blake's cheeks got red. "Am I that obvious"
Dustin walks back over to the guys with his Mint Chocolate Chip (I chose that flavor cuz it's my fav) in his hand. "What I miss?" The guys just smirked at him and shook their heads. "I think we better get going" Cam said. "Yea we got work in like an hour anyway" Blake added. The guys headed out the mall and towards the beach to go meet up with Tori.
(REAL WORLD)
Tori stood there, her eyes were centered at the ground, for she knew Blake was staring at her. She could literally feel his eyes gazing at her.
"Hey Tor, you really should have came with us. They had some nice gear there that you would have been all over" Shane said. Tori removed her eyes from the sand and was now looking at Shane. "Sorry I've just got other things on my mind lately". "Really, would one of these things be a certain guy- perhaps someone we all know?" Shane asked trying to help Blake out on his part. "What makes you think that I was thinking about a guy? And even if I was it's not like you would know him nor would I even tell you. Unlike you men, I do think about other things besides the opposite sex all the time" Tori said angrily. "Sorry dude, calm down- I was just asking" Sane said with his hands up in defense.
Blake felt like his heart had just been ripped out of his chest. If she was thinking about some guy and we wouldn't know him, then that would mean that she wouldn't be thinking about me. Maybe she doesn't have feelings for me after all. He thought to himself.
"Anyway I gotta go, I told Kelly I'd help her out with something. I'll catch you guys later". Tori grabbed her surfboard from out of the sand and headed towards her van. She lied about having to help Kelly but she just had to say something to get away from the guys. Especially Blake. After that comment Shane had made about her thinking about a guy she looked at Blake and just started to blush. She didn't want Blake to know that she was thinking about him. Let alone think that she likes him.
Why do I act like that around him, it's not like he actually likes me the way I like him. Of course there was that time he and Cam were fighting over me, but he was under a spell. Even if he did have feelings for me he would have told me by now- wouldn't he of? It's just best if I keep my feelings for him to myself for now. I'm not gonna be an idiot and confess how I feel for him when I dunt even know how he feels towards me. She thought to herself.
---------------------------------------------------
Back at the beach the guys were all stunned by Tori's sudden reaction.
"What's up with her" Hunter asked.
"Don't know, PMS?" Shane added.
"Well she seriously needs to take some Midol" "Dudes can we stop talking about Tori and her PMS problems because that stuff just gives me the willies" Dustin said.
"Yea I gotta get back to Ninja Ops anyway. I have to install this new chip into the system that dad made me go get" Cam added. "I'll catch you guys later". And with that Cam looked around to see if anyone was near him and he streaked towards Ninja Ops.
"So, what do you guys wanna do now" Shane asked.
"Well I know we got to get to work or Kelly's gonna have our heads" Blake said while looking at Hunter and Dustin. "I guess I'll just tag along, it's not like I have anything better to do"
So the four handsome lads headed toward Storm Chargers, not knowing what was ahead for them when they would get there.
So both Tori and Blake think that the other doesn't have feelings for them—how will that act out and what will Lothor have to do about it.
