Chapter 3
Summer Sunshine
"OKEN!" I heard as I continued down the street, taking another bite of the pizza. It was starting to get soggy from the sun thawing it. Yummy. I was going in for one more bite when I realized it wasn't there anymore.
What the...?
"Ha!" Lilly said from beside me. The little twirp was running. Running after me and actually caught up to me on the skateboard. I watched her take my pizza and lick it. Licked it I tell you! She had a big 'Lilly' smirk on her face. She was so gross. That's when I realized I was flying through the air. And landing quite gracefully in Mr. Robert's lawn.
"Oliver!" Lilly exclaimed running to me and trying to help me with her free hand.
I was going to milk this for all it was worth. No one steals the stole last piece of pizza and gets away with it.
"Ow!" I exclaimed, clutching my other arm. "I think it's broken..." It was taking everything I had to keep from busting out laughing.
"Oh my god! Are you serious? Wh..where does it hurt?" She automatically went into 'motherly' mode.
"Right here..." I showed her as she got on her knees to investigate.
Truly.
Where's my little golden award man?
Sweat had started to bead down her forehead and captured a few blonde locks. She looked down at my arm as though she thought it might completely fall off. Her hand lightly brushed it in an attempt to try to comfort me, sending tingles up my arm and down to my toes. It freaked me out and I flinched from it, making her immediately gasp, afraid she had hurt my 'broken' arm. I watched her quickly stand and her free hand flee towards her mouth in worry.
"I..I'm so sorry Oliver!" Lilly exclaimed, attempting to reach for me again and then deciding against it.
It was time for my finale.
I eyed the pizza still dangling in her other hand and took my chance. I carefully hauled myself off of the ground, making sure to cradle my arm close to my body in agony. She looked on in worry, not sure what to do. She was so gullable. I loved it. I hobbled over to her, looking down so she couldn't see the smirk on my face.
"I think it'll be ok," I sighed, putting a steady, reassuring hand on her shoulder. She looked up at me with her 'sad puppy' blue Lilly eyes.
"Really?" She smiled.
"Yeah," I nodded, almost ashamed to ruin such a heartfelt moment.
Almost.
"Right after I finish my pizza!" I exclaimed, grabbing it from her and sprinting down the street.
"Get back here Oliver Oken! Your arm was notbroken!" She shouted after me.
I could hear her flip flops slapping the cement after me. And as I made it to Rico's they were muffled by the blazing sand. Jackson looked on at us as if we were alien. I'm almost positve Lilly is. But by the time I'd made it down to the beach, the pizza was nestled happily in my stomach and I'd almost forgotten about the crazy blonde running after me. That was, until she was on my back, shouting all kinds of four letter words. I could only laugh. Yep. I did the 'worst thing' again. Laughed at an angry woman. What could I say? I got myself into some of the strangest situations.
I hobbled down to the water, the twit still on my back, trying to wrestle me down. A huge wave was coming in and I took this time to get revenge on her.
"Oliver! Don't you da-" Lilly squealed as I threw her into the surf. She came up drenched and sputtering water from her mouth.
"I hate you!" she exclaimed, managing to find her footing. I could only smile at her, arms crossed, as she stumbled after me. I'd thrown her in, clothes and all, and I tried to take this time to gloat.
"I can't believe you had me feeling guilty that your arm was broken! I was about to cry! And you stole my pizza! I even licked it and everything! Do you know how against the rules that is to eat it after someone licks it? You're such a little -"
And again she was under the water. Only this time, I'd tackled her in with me. Her long hair wrapped around my face and I heard her muffled giggles underneath the water. Her hand found my arm and managed to wriggle from my grasp. We both came up snorting and coughing. Her hair completely covered her face as though I was looking at the back of her head. She suddenly let out a wild tarzan call and jumped, tackling me back into the ocean, barely giving me time to catch a breath. Somehow, I found her waist through the wreathing blonde of the water and stood, lifting her up out of the surf. I hauled her over my shoulder and her legs came up kicking.
"Put me down Oliver Oscar Oken!" She squealed. "And don't you dare fart! My face is down here!"
I laughed and swung her down to where I was holding her from her legs and back. She looked up at me and stuck her tongue out.
"Put me down, Oken!" she demanded again and I smiled slyly at her. "No no no! Not tha-"
And she screamed as I swung her into the breaking waves. I did the honors and made myself official dunking king. I think this is where I bow now. But my attention was quickly turned to the five hotties walking down the beach, eyeing me. More than likely, tourists. The best kind. I returned 'The Nod' and flashed my Crest Advertisment smile. Every last one of them was Victoria Secret worthy and slowed their pace to get a better look at muhwa. Yes, I'm fabulous, I know. Just as I was about to start up the beach towards them, I felt something latch onto my leg. Before I knew what was happening, I was under Malibu water, blonde hair getting stuck in my mouth. I batted it away to find blue eyes squinting back at me. I broke the surface to a firmilar hysterical cackling of a certain annoying friend.
"Why you little-!" I breathed and was after Lilly in a split second. Why did she always have to ruin my chances with beautiful, hott women? It was like her specialty or something. She squealed as I ran after her, out of the water and up onto the shore. I imagine the hotties were looking on as I chased my crazed best friend back up the beach, but at the time I'd forgotten about them. My only concern was killing Lilly.
The burning sand stuck to my legs and ventured inside my soaked Vans. Dammit. Why did she have to be so fast? I was getting tired of this cat and mouse game and it was now or never. I lunged forward in an attempt to tackle her, missed, but managed to grab her ankle. And we both came crashing down hard on the mid-day sand. I heard her make a small noise infront of me and I almost thought she was crying. Turns out, she was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. She let out a huge snort as she tried to catch her breath that made her laugh harder and me start to. She covered her huge mouth with a sandy hand and flopped back onto the beach. It took all the strength I wasn't using to laugh to crawl up beside her. I looked over and she had tears in her eyes from the cackling. I wasn't sure why, but the whole situation was hilarious. Her giggles always made me laugh.
"Ah! That was fun," she exclaimed once we'd managed to settle down. "But I still hate you."
My back was now use to the hot sand and the only heat came from the sun tanning my skin. Farm's tan equals turnoff.
"Yes. And I hate you too. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna look like a farmer if this shirt stays on any longer," I said, tossing the Citizen Cope shirt to the side. I looked over and saw her eyes linger on me for a moment too long. I smiled.
"Like what you see?"
"Psh. When there is something to see, lemme know," Lilly shot me down. She always had a way of doing that too. Was she not just checking me out? How could she deny this big hunk of 100 Ollie lovin'? She could be so simple sometimes, and then so confusing the next minute.
But she followed my lead as she wriggled out of her soaking yellow tank top. My eyes found her curves as she tamed her hair into a ponytail. Sure, I checked out Lilly every now and then. It was harmless. 'Cmon, last time I checked I was a guy. And it wasn't like I was in love with her or anything. She was just nice to look at sometimes. Well, the times I didn't consider her a boy.
"Like what you see?" she said through my fog.
Oh shit.
"Psh...There's some sand right here, Lilly" I quickly covered up, brushing the invisible sand off of her shoulder. "So conceited aren't we?"
