Chapter Two: Sheba
I'm sorry! The chapter title seems really lame, but I couldn't think of another! Forgive me!
Everyone bought their swimsuits and headed to the locker room down the path of the shop. Everyone, but Sheba bought one. She did not like the beach, despite the hot sand and the seagulls, it just didn't feel comfortable.
While the boys and girls were separated by the two paths that led them to the dressing room, Sheba backed away and headed for the tree that was west of the rooms.
There's no point in going in there, Sheba thought, I'll look like an idiot.
Sheba just laid and relaxed, feeling a gentle breeze through her golden hair.
It's more comfortable than a silly beach, thought Sheba; it's more peaceful this way. Hey, I wonder if Felix is ok. He said he didn't feel to well. Could he be having a fever? Was the beach idea a way to hide his illness? Felix is a nice guy. Wait! Maybe I could thank him while everyone is busy swimming or playing volleyball! I really must thank him-
"Hey! Sheba!" shouted a voice from behind. It was Felix, already dressed in his brown swim shorts, being shirtless.
Sheba turned around, twitched, and blushed.
Great! How am I supposed to tell Felix why I'm out here! What do I say!
"Uh… um…I…um…hi Felix…uh…" Sheba definitely sounded embarrassed, since she was fidgeting her fingers and looking down while Felix's eyes were on her back.
Felix noticed that she was still dressed in her Magister Clothes.
"Huh? You don't like the beach?" asked Felix, coming up to her. When he sat down criss-crossed, Sheba immediately shouted, without noticing:
"NO!" Then she noticed Felix being right next to her, "Uh…I mean- It's not that I don't like it. It's just… I don't know how to put it."
"Seagulls? It's ok. If they poop on you, no one will laugh at you," smiled Felix.
"Uh…No, it's not-well yeah, part of it, but…I-"
"It's ok. You don't have to tell me," Felix smiled.
Wow! I never saw Felix smile so much! "Well, uh," C'mon! SAY IT! SAY IT! SAY THANK YOU! "Uh, Felix…"
"Yes?"
"I than-"
"BIG BROTHER! SHEBA!" shouted Jenna as she stepped out of the locker room, wearing a magenta, two-piece swim suit.
Mia followed behind her, wearing a tinted blue, one piece swim suit. "Sheba! There you are! Jenna was worried that you got lost on our way here."
"I certainly did!" smiled Jenna, and then she paused, "why are you not in your swimsuit, Sheba?"
"Me! Well, I-I-I just don't feel like swimming!" Sheba hoped Felix could believe that lame excuse. "Um… it's not that I don't like the beach because of it-"
There she goes again! Thought Felix It's enough saying it twice. Oh well.
"Oh…it's alright Sheba," smiled Mia, "the beach isn't always meant for swimming."
"Yeah, Mia, you're right," Felix said, "Well, I do believe that the guys should be coming here pretty soon." He pointed his finger down the path, "Let's get ahead of them."
"OK! LAST ONE TO THE WATER IS A ROTTEN LOSER!" screamed Jenna and she already sped off.
"Hey! No fair," laughed Mia, "You didn't say 'ready, set, GO!'!" and she ran after Jenna.
Again, Sheba was alone with Felix. Felix spoke before she could,
"Sheba, if there is something you want me to listen to, I'm always open."
Felix!
"Never mind. I'll tell you later. I don't think I'm ready yet. I'll fine the time Um…" she blushed, "will you wait for me?"
Felix placed a finger on his chin, "Well, I'm already waiting for you to start walking." Felix doesn't get what Sheba meant by "waiting" as in "waiting to be open for her words to pour unto him.
Sheba smiled, thinking that he understood (must really be sad, knowing that the person has a different meaning of what you expect!) what she meant, "Let's go!"
Admit the truth in your dear hearts. The Chapter was Bad. But it is was good, I'd cry!
