A/N: I'm back people! Review please! 5th chapter! What's going to happen? I hope nothing bad!
Disclaimer: Don't own shit! Except Emily.
"Dork!" I said as we went outside. Bradin tripped on a stair.
"Like your graceful." He shot back.
"No, I'm not. Jeez, just ruin the moment." I pretended to look hurt.
"Sorry, I don't fall for that." He laughed and I pushed him. We sat in the sand looking at the stars. "I see the big dipper!" I started laughing. He sounded like a little kid.
"Your such a loser. Fuck! It's cold!" I started rubbing my arms. He put one arm around me and hugged me closely. My head rested on the side of his neck. It felt good. Good, to be wanted by somebody, not for things they want, but good because he wants you for who you are and not as something else. Not as a thing.
"What time is it?" He asked.
"I seriously don't know. Why?"
"Cause, I wanted to scare Nikki and Sarina." I started laughing.
"Like how?"
"Go upstairs. Make noises and pretend it isn't us."
"Old, but it still works. I'm thinking about it." We just sat there in silence.
"Are you still thinking?"
"Yeah."
"You take long."
"Hey, do you want to get hurt by Sarina? I'm still thinking. Don't push it." He laughed.
"Ok, so I'll get hurt by Sarina?"
"Yeah, bruise on the arm. Trust me."
"Ok. Why don't we just go back inside since your getting cold?"
"Sure." We both got up. I was standing close to him. Our arms we're touching. All of a sudden I felt someone's hand lace with mine. I didn't look down but I looked at him and smiled. He smiled back. "Ok, starting off as friends, but I'm sort of liking this." We went inside and Sarina and Nikki we're downstairs.
A Month LaterBradin and I we're getting closer and closer each day. Sarina left about a few weeks ago. We started school tomorrow. Bradin tried out for the surf team and he made it. Jay wasn't too happy, but he let go since it was Bradin's life, not his. Bradin was in my room trying to play with my guitar.
"Dork. You can't play." He pouted and I just laughed. He put the guitar down and sat on my bed. I sat next to him.
"Nervous?" He asked.
"Extremely."
"Can I tell you something?"
"Uh, no." He looked at me seriously. "Ok, I was kidding." I kissed him on his cheek. "What is it?"
"Well, you are really the only friend I have. Jay is like a brother. Erica is definitely a sister. Then there's you."
"Now, I get into the picture. I understand you and your problems. I get you."
"Yeah, no one ever really did. Only all of my friends in Kansas."
"So, Callie, what's the deal with her?" Callie was one of Bradin's friends.
"She moved to New York with her family."
"Oh." We just sat there in a moment of silence. I didn't know what to say. I got up from my bed and headed for the door. He followed me and we went out to the beach.
"Last day of summer vacation." He said. We both sat down to see the sunset.
"Yeah, it's been totally awesome. It just has to end now." I looked at him. He started to lean in closer and we kissed.
The Next Day At School"Ok, we're both new here. This sucks." Bradin said. He was holding my hand and carrying my books.
"You really don't have to carry my books."
"I want too."
"Liar."
"I swear. I want to carry your books."
"We need to find our classes! That's the most important thing. We both just had to be new." All of a sudden a Filipino girl came up to us.
"You look lost." She said.
"Yeah, we definitely are." I said.
"I'm Jasmine by the way."
"I'm Emily and this is my friend Bradin."
"Friends?" She looked confused and was looking at our hands. I let go.
"Uh, yeah." He said and blushed a little.
"What's your first class?" She asked.
"Um, we both have Spanish." I said.
"Cool, me too. We can walk together." We were walking through the halls and Tanner saw us.
"Hey Emily. Hey Jasmine. Bradin." Tanner kept smiling at me. He was cute, but I don't know.
"Tanner."Bradinsaid looking away.
"Hey Tanner." Yeah, so maybe he didn't get along with Bradin, but he got along with me.
"Dance, next week, going with anyone?" Tanner asked.
"A little sudden Tanner. I just got here, first day of school, can I get back to you?" I said with a pleading look.
"Yeah, ok." I gave him a hug and Bradin looked at me. Tanner left.
"What?" We started walking again.
"You and Tanner?" Jasmine asked.
"Never." I answered.
"Good, he'san ass." She said.
"Yeah, but you can rely on him with some stuff."
"Are you going with him?" Bradin asked. He grabbed my hand to hold it.
"No, are you crazy? He probably just wants one thing and you know what that is." We got to class and the three of us sat in the back of the classroom. "So, Jasmine. What about you? Have a gentleman caller?" She laughed at my comment.
"Yeah, his name is Chuck, you'll see him later." (A/N:Haha! Sorry Jazz, I didn't want to put his name there.) The class started and it was pretty dull. I knew a lot of the words we were learning and it was just so boring. The day went on and it was pretty good. I had a little bit of homework. I met up with Bradin at lunch. It took me time to find the cafeteria. I sat next to him.
"Hey." I said. He kissed me on the cheek.
"Hey."
"So, how is it so far?" I asked.
"It's ok. I'm missing my school in Kansas though. How about you?"
"It's good, but same as you. I really miss Hawaii." Tanner came over and sat down with us. "Hey, Tanner."
"So, what's the answer?" He asked.
"Tanner! Give it some time, not half the day. Jeez, I'm not a prize!" I ran off.
A/N: Ok, that's good for now. I'll update later. Sorry, for the long wait. I've been busy with school. Now, I have to write a monologue for my Religion class about a character that I'm supposed to be. I'll try to update soon. Review Please!
