Chapter 7!!

Now its Summer. My ankle has healed. Gray is now my boyfriend. I love how everything is going. But it seems like something is missing. Gray has been at my house with gifts alot. I have some animals now. I just dont get it. What is missing? Karen and I are still friends. Although. I cant stand that Mary girl. I saw her making googly eyes at my boyfriend. How I hate her. I trust Gray so I know that when he goes to the library. He isnt flirting with Mary. But I dont trust Mary.

The swimming festival is today and I got my pretty blue sunflower bikini. Gray hates it when I ask him what I should wear on what day. He says it doesnt matter as long as I dont leave the house naked.

When I got to the beach for the festival, he greeted me with a kiss.I replyed to his greeting the same way. He said I looked cute as ever. I smiled and I felt him grab my hand.

"Ready?" He asked as I looked at him.

"uh huh." I replyed happlie as he and I walked to the side of the beach I tied my hair up with a red ribbon and the mayor said for all the contestants to line up at the shore. Gray was competing against me, but we agreed that whitch ever one wins, It wouldnt mess up our relationship.

I took a deep breath as Gray stretched. I Streached out my arms. The mayor stood behind the contestants, he fired his toy gun with a cork tied to a string in the gun and we started. Everyone dove into the water and started swimming. I was in the middle with Cliff, Docter, and Gray. I Reached my arms forward, getting the salty water all through my hair. I kept my eyes forward and making sure I didnt get distracted. Of course, having my ankle broken for a few weeks killed my training time so I kept messing up. I got tired fast but I still kept going. I was catching up to Rick. I thrashed my legs wildly under the water as I tried to go faster. Soon, I passed him, I didnt let it go to my head though. I kept my mind on finishing before celebrating. I reached out my arm to tag the rock when Rick tried once again to pass me. I kicked harder and used alot of energy getting myself even near touching the rock first. I slapped my hand down and, Taged it. I climbed ontop of the rock and sat down. Grinning proudly. After the boys stopped, relizing they had lost, I stood up on the rock and grinned. I walked around on the rock happlie, hearing the claps of the villagers whom had not participated, and Gray. I must have stood up to long or something but I just gave out.

When I woke I was on the beach again and the sun was setting, Gray was sitting beside me on a blue towl with red triangles on it. Really no real tast in towels but... okay, Getting off track. Gray was looking over me and He helped me sit up when he relized I was awake.

"What happend?" I asked.

"You fell into the water after winning. The swim took alot out of you." He said draping his arm over my shoulders. I grinned. He kissed me and helped me stand up. "You sure your okay?"

"Just alittle wobbly. No big deal." I said, my legs felt like noodles, truly. I didnt think I could walk home but Gray had put me in his arms before I could worry. He carried me home, with my arms around his neck. He put me on my bed after we got back. My hair was salty and my body was tired. I had just woken up and I was ready to crash out for the night. Gray smiled and kissed me.

"Get some Rest. I'll see you tomarrow." He said with a hug and a kiss. I nodded and he left, waving good bye as he left the shack. I streached and lied on my bed. Right then, I had fallen asleep.

Morning came quickly. I streached nad put on some actuall clothes. I still felt a bit exausted. So I went up to the hotsprings. I walked into the hotspring changing room and shed my clothes, I wrapped my towl around myself and lied in the warm, relaxing water. I allowed myself to sink into the water, When I brought my head above water again another was sitting in the water. It was her. The evil Mary. I kept silent just relaxing. Mostly looking like I was asleep.

"Gray is so sweet." Mary said suddenly. I felt a strike of both anger and jealosy.

"Yeah." I agreed. Keeping a kind tone.

"and sexy." Mary said more. I knew she was just trying to bother me.

"More than you know." I said, getting Annoyed more than both anger and Jealosy.

"I think he's so-" Mary was interrupted by my red aura.

"Would you just shut the hell up already! I know gray is cute! I know he's sexy! Who else knows better than me! His GIRLFRIEND!" I shouted standing up and leaving the hotspring.

"He likes me better." Maria said giggling. I stopped.

"What?" I asked in a threating tone.

"Isnt it obviouse? How he keeps coming to the library?" She said, I cracked my fingers. "Pluse. Im cuter!"

"well Im his girlfriend!" I defended. "And Im better built, Taboot."

I left the spring part of the hotspring and put my clothes back on. I walked away from it all together. Mumbling curse words. Gray was walking up the road when he greeted me.

"Gray?" I asked. Looking at him seriusly. "Do you think Im better built than Mary?"

"um. Yeah." He said, I knew it was that he didnt want to say how better built I was in public. I smiled. He grabbed my hand and we happlie walked up the mountain together. I knew I was better built than Mary. Always will be.
