Ice Queen: Ruler of the Squeaking Mice

"So, what's the deal with you and Lucas?" I asked Callie, one day while we were on the beach watching the guys, as usual, surfing.

"I don't know, friends." She told me.

"Friends? Just friends?"

She looked at me.

I gave her the stare.

"Okay, maybe more than just friends." She told me quietly.

"You mean you guys are going out?" I asked. "Since when?"

"Well, since the first day I saw you."

"What? That was two weeks ago!"

"Yeah, well..." she started.

"Why didn't you tell anyone?" I asked.

"Because," Callie started. "We didn't want anyone to know."

"You didn't want people to know?" I restated.

"Yeah, well maybe not everyone, just..." She stopped.

I finished her sentence for her, "Bradin."

She looked out at the ocean where Lucas and Bradin were surfing, then back at me. "Yeah."

We sat in silence for a while.

"So what was the deal with you and Bradin?" I asked, curiously.

"Um...well we hooked up, went out, and then broke up. The end."

"Okay..." I said. I got up from the rock I was sitting on and propped myself in the sand. The sand felt so warm against my bare skin. I took my sandal off and wiggled my toes in the sand. Oh, and I think I've learned...well, with the help of Callie. I'm wearing a white tank top and short jean shorts. I feel so proud!

"So, what's the deal with you and Bradin?" Callie asked, mocking me.

I rolled my eyes at her. She laughed.

"Nothing." I told her. "We're just friends."

"Friends who do everything together." She muttered under her breath.

"I heard that." I said.

"Sorry," she said laughing.

"He's just being nice. That's all."

"I think a little too nice." Callie said.

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean." She told me.

"Bradin likes me?" I asked.

"I don't know." Callie said.

"Oh, come on!"

"What?" Callie asked. "I honestly don't know. I'm just assuming seeing how he looks at you, takes every second out of his day to be with you...oh, I wouldn't doubt he's being super nice for a reason."

"Right..."

"Oh, and think you're enjoying every bit of it." She told me.

"Yeah, keep thinking that." I told her.

"I will." Callie smiled. "So, what are we doing today."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"What are the four of us going to do today, after they get out of the water?"

"Oh, I don't know." I said. "Maybe show you guys how life is in New York?"

"Sounds fun."

Ten minutes later, we spotted Lucas and Bradin coming in. They were unaware that Callie and I were walking in their direction. When they planted their boards in the sand, they went back into the shallow water, talking about something, looking out into the sea. When their backs were turned, I took my sandals off, and with them in my hand, I ran up and jumped on Bradin's back.

"Hey!" I said.

"Hi." Bradin said, grabbing onto my arms that were wrapped around his neck. Bradin turned around, so I was able to see Callie running up to us.

"Ooo, the water's cold." Callie said, taking off her sandals and walking into the water.

I jumped off of Bradin.

"Yeah, it is." Bradin said. That was when he started splashing me.

"Ah!" I squeaked. The water was freezing! I splashed back.

Callie and Lucas moved away from us. From the corner of my eye, I saw Callie start splashing Lucas.

"Oh, Callie, you're so going down!" Lucas said, and Callie started running the other direction. Lucas ran after her.

"Bradin!" I yelled. "No, come on Bradin. Not my clothes! Or my hair!"

I'm such a loser, I know.

"Katy, your hair is already wet." Bradin laughed.

"So?" I asked. He splashed me. I turned away.

I was about to splash him back when he took me by the waist and sat me on his lap in the water.

"Ugh!" I squeaked, yet again.

"You sound like a little mouse." Bradin said, still holding me. "It's cute."

"It's freezing!"

"Yeah." Bradin said. He started to lower my back into the water.

"Bradin..." I laughed. "Bradin! No, come on. The water's cold."

Then before I knew it, he lowered his head and kissed me. Seriously, it was out of nowhere. He just kissed me. It felt warm.

"I–it's cold." I shivered.

"Yeah." He said lifting me up. He stood up and then helped me up. We both walked back to where our stuff was. To our left, Lucas and Callie were running toward us.

"You guys ready to go?" Bradin asked them.

"Yeah." Lucas said.

I looked at Callie who was still dry. Then I looked at me.

I was dripping.

"Here." Bradin said, handing me his towel. "Take it."

I took his towel and wrapped it around me.

"Yeah, so why don't you guys go get changed," Callie said, "and Katy and I are gonna head to my house, which is right up the hill, so that Katy could change. We'll meet you at the entrance of the boardwalk."

"You're going to wear Callie's clothes?" Lucas asked me.

"No you doosh." Callie said. "She has her stuff at my house."

"Okay." And with that, Lucas and Bradin headed in one direction, while Callie and I headed to her house.

A/N: Yeah, I know! It's a short chapter, but I was overcomed by a severe case of writer's block, so I didn't know what to write...anyway, as you can see I just cut to the chase. Anyway, I hoped you all liked. And thanks again for your reviews!
