Part 16

Bradin was sitting on the beach by himself, just thinking. How did he get into this mess. Girls were always trouble for him. Why couldn't he just find one that wouldn't cause drama? Why couldn't something relating to girls go right for him? Just then, Sarah entered his thoughts. He wondered if she had gotten his number yet. Should he call her? Should he ask Britney if she had given him her cell number? No that would be stupid. Britney would get all mad and jealous. Sarah probably had the same cell number as she had when they dated. He didn't know why Sarah thought Bradin had changed his. Maybe because he had sponsers and was in a surfing magazine? Who knows with her. She has more than her share of crazy moments. He then decided to call her. Obviously she was out of the boarding school.

After about 3 rings, Sarah picked up. "Hello?"

Bradin waited a minute before he said anything. He could still hang up. "Hey"

"BRADIN! Oh my god. I can't believe it. I've missed you so much!" She was so happy to hear him.

Bradin was a little shocked. The last time they spoke they were fighting. "So, how was the boarding school?"

"Very boring. I'm so glad i'm out of that place. Got out for good behavior," she explained. "Anyway, when are you coming back?"

"In about 3 weeks," Bradin weakly said. Why did she always make him feel wierd. He knew he didn't like her like that. He had just kept dating her out of pity. She was crazy and he wanted to help her.

Sarah could sense his nervousness. "Don't be nervous, Brae. Why is this so wierd for you?"

"Its not. It's just, I haven't talked to you in so long. And we weren't on the best terms after I got you sent to a boarding school. Twice," he said. He was starting to regret calling her.

"I got over it. It was for the best. I needed to go there. I realize that now. It just took time." Sarah didn't want Bradin to be mad at her. She had never stopped caring for him, although she knew that Bradin probably was over her by now.

"I'm glad you realized that," Bradin said as Britney was walking up.

"Hey Bradin," Britney said. "Who ya talking to?" she questioned.

"Hold on a minute," he said into the phone. "Hey Brit. I'm talking to Sarah. From Playa."

Britney was kind of shocked by this. "Oh. I see. Well when your done can you meet me at the other end of the beach?"

"Yeah sure," he said. He then started talking into the phone again. "Okay Sarah. I'm back."

Sarah thought she heard a familar voice. It sounded like the girl she met in Playa Linda that she was asking for Bradin's number from. "Who was that?" she questioned.

"Britney," Bradin said. He then added, "My girlfriend." He knew this would hurt Sarah, but she needed to know. Bradin wasn't just gonna sit around and wait on her to come back from the borading school.

"So thats how its gonna be. Your not even going to give me another chance?" Sarah was starting to get upset.

Bradin was getting mad. "I have given you plenty of chances. You always mess up, Sarah. I wasn't the one that messed it up for you. Don't blame me."

"I can't help it, Brae!" Sarah was sobbing by this point. "I love you, and I don't want to lose you."
