Lunch Time
The gang enjoys the remaining morning lounging in the sun or messing around one the beach. It was towards the midday when the boys took out the football and began playing around. At first it was just the two throwing it around and sparing one on one.
Guerrmo threw a long pass, though a little to long and high for a normal catch. So Nathan goes and jumps up for the ball, he catches it but jumps to high. He lands wrong and face plants the sand, most everyone laughed seeing the teen try and spit out the granules. Nathan got his revenge when he did a bomb pass way off to the right, Guerrmo ran for it but rammed into one of the beach trash cans head on. All one could hear was the drum echo of his body impacting the hard plastic can only filled to a quarter.
Later on the boys managed to get all four girls to join the game. Teams were Kila, Nathan, and Yumi against Guerrmo, Terra, and Aelita playing tackle football.
The game goes on as planned; the boys took off their shirts from the sun's heat before the game. Terra and Aelita blushed tomato red when they showed off their teen physique.
Each team took places at their goal lines, made of driftwood, and Nathan's team kicked off. Well threw off, the ball whizzed in the air and landed into Guerrmo's arms. They ran forward into the other team, Aelita took Kila, Terra got Yumi, and the boys went at it. Bam, Nathan managed to get at the ball wielders legs and flipped him on his back from the air. Second down, the ball went to Aelita who, with the help of Yumi, made a touch down.
Later on in the game with the score 4-5, lunch was nearing and their stomachs were growling. Guerrmo kicked off, the ball landed into Nathan's hands and his team rushed in a blitz. But with a good tackle by Guerrmo and Terra, the ball became a fumble and rolled to the direction it was heading. Aelita ran to her team's post, where the ball landed, picked it up and started to run to the goal line. Unfortunately, her opposing team was regrouped at the half line and ready for her. Guerrmo and Terra were at her front flanks, they took the first defenders leaving Nathan to deal with her. He was ready, arms stretched out and poised to embrace her in a trap, and strafed left. He caught her in a lucky tackle picking her up in the air and falling backwards to the bumpy beach.
Kila and Yumi cheered on as the chance for an overtime was cancelled, their team one!
But Aelita and Nathan stayed where they were making out. Kila came to check up on the two worried they might be hurt, but when she found the real reason.
"Oh man you guys had me worried! Come on lets go eat." Kila ruffled the boy's hair as he grinned at her needless worried, Aelita just giggled and was helped up by Kila. The two acted like nothing had happened, so Yumi never caught on.
Lunch
"Okay, we have some shark steaks that all we need to do is put on the grill for at least a few minutes and we can eat." Kila said turning on the fire.
"Alright cool, well who wants something to drink!" Guerrmo asked around getting three takers as he went to the cooler.
The girls sat down on the chairs and mingled, the boys joined in. When Kila slapped on the freshly marinated Shark steaks on the grill, they immediately smoked and sent a mouth watering scent of onions, shark, seasonings, and herbs to the gang.
"Man you know I got you bad that first round." Nathan jostled.
"All I saw was him flipping in the air and landing smack hard into the ground." Yumi smirked.
Terra sighed happily; the smell of the delicious grilling seafood and beach entice her nose. So she got up and decided to aid her close friend with the cooking. Preparing the plates and the few side dishes packed under the ice in the cooler. She could hear some sea gulls caw around the nearby shore after smelling the barbeque smoke ran along the water. Moments later the food finishes and is ready for tasting.
"Okay if everyone will come over and get your food one by one?" Kila told everybody as she waves her spatula to them.
"Wow, this smells amazing!" Yumi said as the pure aroma hits her.
"Ya, Kila knows how to cook." Nathan told her smiling since his favorite food is any seafood.
"Load me up!" Guerrmo said eyeing the many shark steaks sizzling.
The gang served and also took some potato chips, potato salad, and seasoned corn. The drinks included coke, Dr. Pepper, and sprite in plastic blue cups. Aelita went to the truck and switched the station from its old Latin to an alternative rock station before sitting down. Kila wore a satisfied look and a huge smile as she saw the happy faces of her friends taking the second bite and wolfing it down. Her meal must be that good if they all showed such appreciation.
"So I believe I did good?" Kila asked just as she started eating her steak.
"Ohhh you have no idea!" Nathan said through food like Odd.
"You outdid yourself again girl." Terra congratulated her.
"I've never had shark like this, but I love it!" Yumi said eating another bite.
"What they all said." Guerrmo grinned.
"I'm speechless, how did you ever get so good!" Aelita asked her friend.
"Well you know how I'm a food fanatic, around the age of seven I wanted to learn how to make the perfect meals. I can be very picky now a days so that has also encouraged my skills. Though I have a ways to go still." Kila then busied herself in her dish feeling discouraged of her novice state in skills.
The mood lightened for everyone with the sound of rock bands playing and the beats of the waves hitting near shoreline. Almost everyone had seconds, though Kila offered a few taste testers to other beach goers who smelled the festivities.
Some hour later, they cleaned up and had time left for some more water fun. They all went into the water and rode the waves, enjoying the green water and sun on their bodies, and they talked of their new school life coming soon. The fun killed a lot of time, to the point the sun started to hit the dune caps. So reluctantly they left the sea and dried off in the towels they brought, the boys took out a surprise while the sun still shined in its last minutes.
"You guys had firewood in there!" Terra and Kila said stunned.
"Ya so we can stay longer or…maybe for the night and make a camp fire to warm us." Guerrmo asked them winking to Terra.
The girls jumped in excitement as the wood was placed to the truck beds edge. Aelita and Yumi helped make a pit in the sand for the boys to place the wood in to a dept of half an arms length hole. The wood was thrown in and lit with a couple of matches. The first flames licked the air high, its radiant heat graced the gang sitting on chairs or on the towels. Aelita and Nathan took the ground towels and the others sat in the fold up chairs. Now the night slowly overtook the sky in a shadow of blue.
"Man today was awesome right? Right?" Yumi said out of character like she went back to her Kadic years self.
"Oh my bodies still aching from playing that swim race against the current." Guerrmo groaned and gained sympathy from his girl.
"You poor boy." Terra said like a mother and rubbed his back.
"Hey how about some ghost story!" Nathan said as the idea hit him.
The others indeed agreed to the notion and he was first to start. His was the "Lonely Spirit", a story he had made for a class last year. A little girl rose in a harsh farm family, part of a military experiment, and ended up killing them. Though she tried to make friends she always end up switching to her dark side and murdering them. After she woke up from a blank sleep, she was always covered in blood but no bodies. In the end a small boy attempted to befriend her and almost succeeded but he too succumbed to her dark nature.
After telling that story, the others got great ideas and told them in a great horrific way. Leaving everyone scared and tired, so they took out the last towels and went inside the truck for sleep, the boys would sleep in the trucks bed while the four girls had the luxury of the inside safty with the alarm on. The trucks radio long shut off when the sun went down, came alive again to help the girls sleep.
However, someone else would have a nightmare very soon.
