Chapter 7
Hawaii
About a half hour after Gia hung up the phone with Sydney, she let out a sigh. She had this small, tiny feeling that Sydney was having second thoughts about Makai. Gia had to clear her mind, and there was only one place she needed to go. That place was of course, the beach.
She grabbed her surf board, already being dressed in the right clothes, and hurried out of her home. On her way too the beach, along the path she had first bumped into Sydney which seemed so long ago, she spotted Kona up ahead who was walking toward her.
"Gia!" He yelled, gliding on his skateboard toward his best friend.
"Hey, what's wrong? You seem upset," Kona asked, sensing something wrong.
Gia was silent for a moment, not looking him in the eye.
"What? Gia, tell me. I'm your best friend. I know when something's wrong," Kona said.
Gia took a deep breath. "I just got off the phone with Sydney."
"Really? How is she? Is she alright? When is she coming back?" He asked all at once practically.
Gia sighed again, not looking him in the eye.
"Gia, what? Tell me."
Gia was silent for another minute before looking him in the eye. "I think she's having second thoughts about Makai."
Kona looked at her stunned. "What? How come?"
Gia shrugged. "She seemed really sad on the phone and she had just gotten into an argument with her other friend up there."
"That's it. I have to do something." Kona said.
"Whoa... Kona, what are you going to do?" Gia asked, but Kona had already skated off. "Kona!"
Chicago
About fifteen minutes later, Sydney was dressed in her pajama pants and tank top, rather early, and downstairs at the kitchen table drinking tea and waiting for Nicole to call back.
"She's not calling back, is she?" Sydney said, looking into her mug.
Ben gave her a sympathy look. "Oh, I'm sure she will. You've been best friends with her since preschool."
Sydney just nodded, taking another sip of tea. Dang, her father was right. Tea does help.
Out of know where, a crash of thunder was heard.
"Sounds like a storms coming," Ben said, glancing out the window. "It looked like it was going to be a nice day earlier."
Sydney shrugged, standing up just as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," she said, walking toward the door, not caring that she was in her pajamas. When she opened the door, she was slightly shocked to see Drew standing there.
"Oh, hey, Drew," She said, leaning against the door.
"Hey, Syd. Can I come in?" Drew asked.
Sydney nodded, holding the door open wide for him.
Drew walked in and Sydney led him to the living room and sat down on the couch, Drew sitting beside her.
"So, what brings you around?" Sydney asked, after Ben peaked his head in and said hi.
Drew shrugged. "Well, I guess I just wanted to, well, see if it's true."
Sydney looked quickly at him. "What?"
"Nicole told me that you're moving, and well, I did see the sign outside," He said, looking down at the carpet.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys right away. I'm really going to miss you. All of you." Sydney said, biting her lip.
Drew looked up at her. "Sydney, I'll be honest. I really don't want you too move. It broke my heart when you left for those 2 weeks before to go to Hawaii. I missed you, and I can't bare to see you leave again."
Sydney took a deep breath. "What?"
"I'm sorry," Drew said standing up. "I shouldn't have sprung this on you. I mean, you are moving soon and all. I-I better go."
Sydney looked up at him, but said nothing making Drew walk toward the door.
Sydney stood up, following him as Drew opened the front door she said. "Drew, wait."
He turned around and faced her, hand still on the doorknob.
"I-I.." She began to say. She knew he liked her, but she knew she shouldn't mention Kona.
"Bye, Sydney. I'll miss you." Drew said, opening the door and stepping out onto the porch.
Sydney ran out after him and pulling him around just as he was about to step down the front steps.
"Drew, we can still be friends. We'll write, and talk on the phone and I'll always come back to visit. Anyway, I'm not leaving until this house is sold. That could take some time," she said to him.
Drew turned to her, his shaggy brown hair in her face as always. "Sydney, I know, but it won't be the same." He said with a pause. "You should go talk to Nicole."
Sydney sighed. "I've tried to call her, but she hasn't returned my call."
"So call again. She's your bestfriend. You both need to work this out." He said.
Sydney couldn't help, but smile. "Thanks, you're always right." She told him, making him smile.
Just then Drew kissed Sydney on the cheek softly and said. "I'll see you around."
