"Um, sorry to break this up, but we have to go," Nikki said, grabbing Kay's wrist and pulling her out of the store. Kay gave back a lingering glance at the cashier, and he called back they would talk later.
"What was that?" Kay asked as the left the mall. Nikki sighed and shooke her head, unsure of what to say.
"What was that?" Nikki repeated, "How do you know Tanner Smith?"
"Old flame," she said smiling,"A couple of summers ago he stayed in Sydney with his family for the summer, we spent like everyday together, I can't believe he lives here!"
"Are you kidding?" Nikki said sighing.
"What's wrong with him?" Kay asked, defending him.
"I can't explain this, your brother will,"
"Great,"

"Is Jay here?" Nikki asked as she walked into the kitchen to where Bradin was sitting with Sarah.
"I think he's at the shop, why?" Bradin asked, seeing a confused look on Kay's face.
"She is um..friends with Tanner Smith actually," Nikki said walking out, motioning for Kay to follow.
"Really? Whoa," Bradin said, giving Kay a surprised look.
"What is wrong with Tanner, am I missing something?" Kay asked, confused.
"Actually you are missing a few things, let's go," Nikki said, motioning to the door now. Kay just sighed and followed the eager girl. They walked over to the shop, Nikki rushing to get there but Kay kept smiling and took her time. She couldn't believe it was him, Tanner, her old boyfriend. True, he was a year older than her but not by much because of her January birthday.
"Kay, can you hurry up?" Nikki called back to her, and she jogged up to her a bit.
"Sorry, I was just thinking," she said, shrugging.
"I still can't believe you were like with Tanner Smith," Nikki said, walking into the shop.
"I really need an explanation, this is killing me," Kay said, leaning against the counter getting a look from Jay.
"Need an explanation about what?" he asked, wondering what was bothering his sister.
"Tell him," Nikki said, pointing her head.
"What?" Jay asked again.
"OK, we were at the shoe store, we got to the check out and an old friend was working there, he used to stay in Austrailia in the summer, and everyone is acting like hes a bad person" she said, rolling her eyes. Jay thought for a second then turned to Nikki.
"She said he wasn't just a friend, in her words an old flame, and it was our favourite surfer Tanner Smith," Nikki said, seeing Jay's reaction.
"Are you kidding? Is this a sick joke or something?" he asked, with widened eyes.
"Is what a sick joke?" spoke a voice from behind him, Erika.
"It's nothing, we'll talk later Kay, for now, this is Erika, and Erika this is my sister Kay," Jay said forcing a smile.
"Hi," Kay said lamely.
"Hey, nice to finally meet you, Jay talks to highly of you," Erika said, laughing.
"Thanks big brother, now please explain to me about-" but he cut her off.
"Later," he said, turning to talk to Erika. Kay just sighed and walked away, trying her best to find her way back to the house because Nikki had left ahead of her. She couldn't find the house by walking around on the roads so she went to the next best place, the beach. She had slipped into her new sandals, and walked down the beach slowly, looking at each house.
She spotted it quickly but didn't feel like heading 'home' yet. Instead, she headed over to the huge mountain of rocks sitting on the shoreline, it looked like a good getaway. She quickly climbed up the rocks, seeing Bradin sitting lying there and she suddenly, turned around in case he was there with his girlfriend.
"Kay, you don't have to leave, I'm here alone," Bradin said, in a broodish kind of tone. She smiled a bit and walked back up, taking a seat beside him. For a while they just sat there, Kay hugging her knees to her chest, thinking about the problem with Tanner. She broke out of her thoughts, hearing Bradin sigh.
"Life got you down or what?" she asked, joking a bit. He gave a limp smile, and shrugged.
"I'm deeper than down, I'm like rock bottom," he said, rolling his eyes. She laughed at his weak joke, then stopped.
"I've been there before, what's wrong?" she asked, him not replying at first, "Wait, you don't have to tell me, you did just meet me, scratch the idea,"
"No, its okay," he said, smiling a bit at her outburst, "How would you feel if your girlfriend or boyfriend just told you that she is moving away to go to a boarding school?"
"Whoa, that would be a lot to take in, but I would see it from his point of view and probably feel exactly how you feel right now," Kay said, looking intently at the the ocean in front of them.
"I don't know what to do, what happens if she leaves then she comes back and I've moved on? What am I supposed to tell her?" he asked, seemingly upset.
"It really depends if you want her right now, I mean think about her and think is this the person I want to be tied to even if she is across the country?" Kay said, not moving her eyes.
"I guess you're right,"
"But you don't have to listen to me, don't go breaking up with the girl because I am full of emotions and hormones, follow your heart," she said, making him laugh.
"Don't worry, I will, what are you so upset about anyway?" he asked her.
"What makes you think I'm upset?" she said, looking him in the eye.
"I just assumed I guess, people always find there way up these rocks when something is wrong, so..."
"Don't feel bad, I kind of am upset I guess, do you know Tanner Smith?"
Bradin's eyes widened and he sighed, "Ya, I do why?"
"Remember last night I was telling you about the guy who came down to Austrailia one summer, and we were insepreable?"
"It was Tanner?"
"Ya, but what's so bad about him?"
"I can't tell you, your brother can, but if you do decide to um.. get back together with this guy, just be careful,"
"Um..thanks, I think,"
"Like you told me, follow your heart,"
alright, thats all for now, can u see why this chap is titled what it is!! woohoo!! R&R! yaay! i no the likelyness of tanner being the guy and he and her reuniting in Playa Linda isnt too likely, but i really needed a piece of drama in here so there it is,
