Chapter 2
A/N: Hey, sorry about the confusion, Summerlander. I re-read the chapter and realized how that could be confusing. I meant it as that day since it was 6 in the morning. Sorry about that!
Gabbie sighed as she tied the red strings to her bikini top behind her neck. She checked her appearance in the mirror once more and headed out her bedroom door. "Noah! Are you ready yet? Because I'm leaving for the beach if you're coming!" She yelled throughout their house. She had noticed that their dad had left earlier that morning, so she wasn't worried about waking him.
"I'm coming!" Noah called loudly from his room. He came out and Gabbie walked by him to pick up her purse.
"Whoo," she breathed heavily and waved a hand in front of her face. "What in the heck are you spraying on yourself and how much did you use?" She laughed lightly as he shoved her playfully. She laughed. "What? You smell and I'm being a good sister and telling you how badly."
"Shut up! It's for Nichole, smart one," he rolled his eyes as they walked into their garage. Gabbie grabbed her volleyball bag and Noah grabbed his surfboard.
"I'm just letting you know. Plus, you're going to be in the water the whole time. Who's going to notice?" She asked as they made their way down the beach. She flipped her hair over her shoulder and slid her sunglasses on over her nose. She looked out at the beach and spotted Nichole and her other two friends, Daisy Jennings and Kaitlen Cooper. They smiled and waved and Gabbie waved back. "Okay, well, I'm going with the girls to practice. Meet me at the Grill for lunch, okay? I need cash," Gabbie smiled and ran towards the girls right as Lucas and Bradin ran up next to Noah.
"Why does she always come to me for cash?" Noah chuckled lightly as Lucas patted him on the back.
"She'll always come to you for cash. She's a girl," Lucas laughed. "They're all looking fine...why don't we stay and see what they've got for a little while?" Lucas rubbed his hands together and raised his eyebrows. "I know my man Bradin here wants to stay. His girl plays."
"You have a girl?" Noah frowned. He saw a grin form over Bradin's lips and his eyes lit up.
"Yeah. Callie," he smirked. And looked down at the sand below him. Noah nodded. He knew Callie pretty well. Callie had played volleyball with Gabbie for a few years. Callie always seemed to be a "good girl". Noah knew that Callie had liked someone before.
"That's cool," Noah nodded, keeping his thoughts to himself. They watched as the brunette ran up and gave Bradin a light peck with a smile. Noah looked over towards the other girls warming up. His face flushed when he saw Nichole walk over to him. "Hey, Chole," he smiled, calling her by one of her nicknames.
"Hey Noah, so...Gabbie said you all are going to the Grill after practice. Do you mind if me, Daisy and Kait join?" She asked flirtatiously. He smiled at her and shook his head no.
"I'm not paying," he said and Nichole pouted. The other guys laughed. "No! I pay for you girls when we go to the movies, when we go to the amusement parks, heck, even when we go to buy a soda at the gas station!" Noah laughed and Nichole joined in. "I'm not paying."
"Fine, whatever," she rolled her eyes with a smirk. "Callie, you coming?" She glanced over at the other girl.
"Oh, um," Callie looked up at Bradin and then back at Nichole. "You know what? I have to meet my other girlfriend at the park in an hour. I better pass," she sighed. "Thanks for the invite, though." She smiled and walked towards the sandy court. No one seemed to notice anything besides Noah. He knew she was up to no good.
"Guys, I have to go talk to Gabbie real quick," Noah muttered and jogged towards his sister who had just served it to Kaitlen. "Hold the ball, Kait!" Noah yelled and pulled Gabbie down by the water.
"Noah, what are you doing?" Gabbie frowned and tucked a strand of her dark hair behind her ear. She readjusted her bikini top as the wind blew.
"Listen, Callie is up to something. After practice, I need you to fake being sick and follow her. She's pulling something, Gabs," Noah sighed. Gabbie rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Since when are you up to something with Callie? Who cares if she's having her own life?" Gabbie frowned. Whenever it came to sneaking around, Noah always went to Gabbie.
"Since she was dating Bradin," Noah sighed and looked back over at his friend. "Listen, Gabs. Bradin is really cool and seems like he likes Callie...a lot. And if she's messing with him, someone needs to find out. I know Callie and you know Callie. She was in love with that guy...Andrew...or whatever his name was last year."
"It's none of my business! I just met Bradin. And if Callie sees me sneaking around she won't talk to me anymore," Gabbie sighed. "I can't have that. Especially when she's key to our volleyball team. She's co-captain! I'm captain! We work together!" Gabbie sighed. "I can't."
"Gabbie, how many times do you come to me for help?" Noah asked his sister and she sighed with a roll of her eyes. "Listen, I owe you one if you can do this for me, okay? Please?" Noah sighed. "I just...I want to know!" Noah was always the one who was trying to get involved with other people's business.
"Fine," Gabbie sighed and looked over at Callie, who was laughing with the other girls. "I'll do it."
The game went on and Gabbie's team ended up winning. The boys were just about done with surfing. "Girls, I'm gonna go. Can you tell Bradin that I had to go meet my friend at the park?" Callie asked the group of girls. Gabbie was leaning back on her hands and watching through her tinted sunglasses as the boys continued to surf. She listened to what her friend was saying.
"Yeah, sure," Daisy smiled and returned her attention back out to the water. After Callie had gotten up and was out of ear-range, Gabbie took her chance.
"Guys, I'm really not feeling well. I'm gonna head home. Tell Noah for me?" Gabbie sighed and stood from the sand. She grabbed her backpack and towel.
"Sure. You want me to drive you home?" Kaitlen asked, concerned about one of her best friends. She squinted towards Gabbie, shielding her eyes from the blinding sun.
"Nah, I'm fine. A little fresh air might make me feel better," Gabbie lied with a shrug. She hated lying to her friends, but she didn't have a choice in this situation. What Callie had said made her interested in what Noah was thinking. Gabbie finished gathering her things and made her way in the direction Callie had left. When she came up on the sand hill, she saw Callie jogging towards the sidewalk. Gabbie followed her quietly and discreetly. Callie took her to a small coffee shop in a small corner of Playa Linda. Gabbie watched through the window as Callie went to a back table and sat down across from a guy she recognized as Callie's ex boyfriend. She smiled after she kissed him passionately.
A/N: Okay, so I thought I'd end it there! Let me know what you think!!
