Adams Pov:
I needed to tell Raven about me. The part of me I'd been keeping a secret from her. She didn't deserve to be lied to. I hated that I was lying every time we were together. I just need to suck it up and be a man. I just hope she'll still see me that way.
Ravens Pov:
I was sitting in science class when Adam came up behind me. " what are you doing here" I whispered. "let's get out of here" "what, Adam look are you feeling ok" I asked checking his forehead." I fine" he said gently moving my hand away. "I just need you" "adam are you sure about this. I mean I don't have a problem with it I just didn't take you as the kind who would ditch school" "I'm a hundred percent sure. I want to spend the entire day with you and only you" I looked straight into his ocean blue eyes knowing that something was wrong but decided to go along with it. For now.
"um ok I wasn't really in the mood for school today anyway. So where to" I asked gathering my things. "anywhere but here" he said taking grabbing my books and walking away. I followed him to my locker where we dropped off my books. "follow me" I said as I lead him to the back door knowing that their were no cameras their. Ok so I've ditched school a couple of times but hey most of the time I make up the homework. We discretely snuck away. Running as soon as we got outside. We headed to the cafe I took adam to a few days ago and both got a coffee.
"so why the sudden need to escape" I asked as we took a seat in the back of the cafe. "I just needed to clear my head. Things have been kind of crazy lately" I nodded my head " so what's your plan for today or do have to make something up" I said taking a sip of my coffee. " honestly I really hadn't thought that far. Well I guess we could go to the park" he suggested. "and watch dogs run in circles chancing their tails. Sounds thrilling" I joked "well I you don't want to we could do something else" he said looking worried.
"Adam calm down I was just kidding. I'd love to go" "I'm sorry I'm just a little nervous" " ya I can tell. Look it's going to be ok. Do you trust me." I asked " he looked up at me. His eyes never leaving mine. "with all my heart" he said taking my hand in his. I blushed but luckily my hair was covering it. "then relax today is going to be fun you just have to know where to look" I said standing up.
"where are you going" he asked. "we're going to the beach" I said walking away knowing he would follow. He held the door open for me. " after you" I smiled as I rolled my eyes exiting the cafe. As we walked we talked about anything and everything. About our hopes, dreams, even about our families which is a topic I usually try to avoid but with Adam I felt like I could tell him anything. He wasn't judgmental and was a really go listener. He made all my problems just wash away. With him I could just be myself with no worries, no cares. As we neared the beach I headed straight for the water loving the sound the waves made as they crashed against the rocks.

I smiled at Ravens eagerness toward the ocean. I had to admit I'm really glad I decided do this. At the end of the day no matter what happens I won't have to lie any more but I also might not have Raven in life either. I shook the thought away and ran after Raven.
"hey I'm going in you coming" she asked. I wanted to but didn't want to risk it. I didn't want to tell her until the end of the day so I made up an excuse. "nah you go ahead I'll watch" she just shrugged. "whatever you say" she said walking over to a spot in the sand taking off her shirt. "um Raven do you want me to like close my eyes or something" I asked blushing and turning away. Not that I didn't want to watch because trust me I did but I didn't want gawk or for her to think I was some kind of perv or something.
She just laughed at my nervousness. "you can look I'm wearing another shirt" she said smiling. I slowly preceded to turn around. She walked towards me wearing a black lace tank top. It looked quiet nice on her. "can you hold this" she asked handing me the shirt that smelled of vanilla and her converse. "sure" I said smiling setting her things down next to me."thanks" she said walking over towards the water.
She stared at the gentle waves, looking mesmerized by its beauty. She walked in slowly then jumped under. I smiled watching the birds fly over head. She'd been underwater for quiet some time and I was starting to get worried. Just as I was about to go in after her she submerged from under the water. Pushing her hair back out of her face.
Relieved I slowly eased my way back onto my spot on the sand watching her. She looked genuinely happy and I was glad to see she was enjoying herself. After a few minutes she came and joined me in the sand. "so you want to go for a walk" she asked as she rung the water from her beautiful hair. "sure" I said getting up and offer her hand reminding me of when we first met. She excepted my offer and I pulled her up never releasing my grip.
We walked hand in hand over to the dock and set on the cool concrete watching the waves crash against the rocky shore. We set this way for quite some time just enjoying the company of the other. I wanted to freeze this moment right here right now. Sitting next to the most beautiful girl I'd ever met. Inside and out. "you know I'm really glad we did this" she said resting her head I'm my lap. I smiled. "me too" I said wiping her bangs out of her face.
"being here with you is the most fun I've had in a long time" she said. "I'm glad you fell that way and I want you to know that you mean the world to me no matter what happens" she smiled nodding her head and closed her eyes. It's now or never it thought to myself but her next words took me by surprise.
" You know your the one person who hasn't lied to me. she said and I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat as she continued. "You don't pretend to be someone your not. I just wanted to thank you for being honest with me. You don't know how me it means to me."
I sighed knowing I needed to tell her now but the words just wouldn't come out instead I said something I knew I would regret. "your welcome" she smiled and we sat their watching the sun set. The guilt was terrible but not as bad as it would be when Raven found out that the one person she thought she could trust was keeping the biggest secret of their lives.
