Title: Mystery Girl
Author: Crystal Saturn
Rated: PG 13
Chapter: 2- Can You Keep A Secret?

Yeah all right, so I had a bit of a thing for Serena, which is condemned. It's not like I would ever see her again. I mean, a big school like Ocean View… the chances of seeing her again were pretty slim right? WRONG! Not only is she in my senior calculus and chemistry classes, she's in the room next to mine when I have physics.

OH CRUEL WORLD! WHY MUST YOU CONSTANTLY MOCK ME?

Whoever said 'fate works in mysterious ways' was right. Unfortunately they forgot to mention how it worked in mysterious ways… AGAINST ME. I was determined not to let her get to me. But there was something about her she was hiding. I could feel it! She wasn't being totally herself and I was also determined to find out why she was so different. Unfortunately for me, my last objective cancelled out the first one, where I said I wouldn't let her get to me.

Oh man, why do I like to complicate things for myself?

She's so oblivious to the fact that I've been staring at her. She's so innocent. Look at her raise her hand to answer the question. I ended up walking out of that class with Serena on my brain. I don't know what it was about her but everything she did was cute to me. Forget the fact that I was surrounded by gorgeous girls in miniskirts, flaunting themselves at me because I was now popular. I only wanted one girl in particular, and she had no idea.

"Hey Andrew, wait up" I called out, casually jogging up to the blond.

"Hey man, what's up?" we continued to walk towards the gym.

"I have a problem." Ha… that's not something I'd admit every day. "There's this girl I like. She's a junior but-"

"Junior girl aye." Andrew grinned. "So which one is it?"

"Well you see… she's not exactly on the top of the list as the hottest girl ever but there's something about her I like. She may not be the most beautiful girl out there but she's beautiful to me. And not only that… she's smart and when she smiles, the whole room lights up."

Alright… so I had stars in my eyes and there were probably little floating hearts around my head. But come on! I liked this girl and hopefully by letting Andrew see how much of an impact she's made on me. That'll make it all ok.

"Ohh… right. Well as long as it's not Serena then I say go for it aye!" Andrew chuckled and playfully patted me on the back. I stopped dead in my tracks. Ohhh mannnn… Telling Andrew was a bad idea. When the rest of the guys find out all hell is going to break loose. Can we say "Flushy Flushy"? Andrew turned around and looked at the blank expression on my face.

"Oh dude… you're not serious are you?" Andrew laughed. "The guys would never let you live this down."

I looked at him in silence.

"Surely you can do better than that…"

-Blink-

I didn't want to do any better. There was no better for me! I felt like getting onto my hands and knees and bawling my eyes out like a kid who was determined to get the shiny new toy truck in the window. But I didn't. Although I still wanted her.

"Come on Daz… lets get to class. I suppose she's not all that bad. Nice legs." Andrew shrugged.

Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.

So I got that out into the open. Well actually Andrew was still the only one who knew. But it was open enough for me. I didn't want to overload his brain by telling him about my mysterious beach angel. He'd think I was totally insane!

But anyway, that afternoon I went to test out my theory… you know, to see if she was there. And I wanted to relax of course. Try to reflect on everything that has happened. So I walked down to the beach and plopped myself down randomly somewhere on the sand. There were surfers scattered around here and there. A few people lazing about, but she wasn't to be seen anywhere. I leaned back onto the sand and stared up at the sky.

Cloud… cloud… hey that one looks like a bunny.

Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a lock of blonde hair. She walked right past me. I sat up abruptly.

omigawd omigawd omigawd omigawd

My brain was breaking out. My heart was racing.

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? Omigawd.. ahhh ahhh ahhh.

And then it simply gave up on me and stopped processing logical information. She was more beautiful up close. I watched as she walked into the water, diving under the waves. She literally took my breath away. The way she manoeuvred through the water. Stunning.

"Hey man!" A voice came from behind me. I swivelled my head around and saw Greg, another one of the popular guys. He sat down next to me, watching the waves crash onto the shore.

"What are you doin' here?"

"Just… unwinding." I sighed and turned my head back to the horizon before me.

"Yeah, I feel ya." Greg nodded.

I watched her silently. Not in a stalkerish manner, but in awe. She was so beautiful, magnificent. There she was, lying on her board, waiting for her ideal wave to come along. I guess she sensed she was being watched and sat up, looking around. Her eyes came in contact and I gasped softly.

She smiled at me.

That's all for now… sorry this was so short. Christmas has distracted me should be in about 5 days (my b-day is less than a week away so there's another distraction)… Hope you all had a great Christmas.
