Chapter 12 A Day At The Beach
The next day everyone was ready to go the beach
"Excuse me but we have to go shopping" Mariah said
"Why?" Mariam asked
"Because we lost everything in the plane crash" Mariah said
"Alright you six get what you need and meet us at the beach" Tyson said
Hilary, Mariah, Amy, Ray, Bryan and Tala headed for the store, it took some time but Hilary bought a pink and red swimsuit, Mariah had an all pink one, Amy got a black and grey one, Ray got green shorts, Bryan bought blue-grey shorts, and Tala got blue shorts. After that they headed toward the beach when they got there it looked like the others were getting ready to play Volleyball, Mariam wore a dark blue swimsuit, Megan had a purple one, Julie had a light blue swimsuit, Kai's shorts were red, Max's yellow, Tyson's orange, Lee's black, Caleb's red, black and white
"Hey guys" Hilary said
"You guys wanna play?" Tyson asked
"I can't" Hilary said "I don't know how to hit the ball"
Kai walked over to her, and took her hands
"Like this" he said
He showed her hoe to hold her hands and how to hit, Tala's mouth dropped open and everyone else's eyes were wide, the girls started giggling at Hilary's red face, Bryan looked at Tala, he then gently tapped Tala's nose causing Tala to fall backward onto the sand
"Is he okay?" Caleb asked
Tala jumped up
"Yeah he's fine" Bryan said
They played their game, the boys kept themselves ahead of the girls for almost the whole game, but when the game was tied and the next point was the winning point, Hilary knew she wasn't good at hitting the ball very far, and everyone else knew it too. She did her best, then remembered what Kai told her "If you cant hit it far, then hit it up" he said, Ray served the ball toward Hilary, Hilary watched it come toward her then she hit upward and moved and Amy got it on its way down, hitting it over the net, with enough speed that the boys didn't have time to respond to it
"We won" Megan cried
"That was amazing" Mariam said
"Awesome hit Hilary" Mariah said
"Thanks" Hilary said
"She learns fast" Tyson said
"She sure does" Kai said
"Hey how about we swim" Max said
Tyson, Max and Mariam raced each other to the water with Julie, Amy, Kai, Hilary, Lee, Ian and Megan close behind them
"There is no way Im getting in that water" Mariah said standing at the edge of the water
The next thing surprised everyone; Bryan lifted up Mariah and tossed her into the water
"Bryan" Mariah said
She then proceeded to splash him with water, Bryan was soaking wet, but smiling, Kai's mouth dropped when he saw Bryan smile
"Well have fun everyone" Ray said
"Where are you going?" Tala asked
"Out of here before I get wet" Ray said
Tala smirked
"Tala don't you dare" Ray said
With Wolborg's help Tala lifted Ray and threw him into the water, Ray landed two feet from Megan and Mariam, Tala then walked toward the dock and with a running start jumped off the dock doing a front flip in the air and doing an amazing dive into the water, Bryan was now standing on the dock
"Show off" Bryan said when Tala's head came out of the water
Mariah was then sneaking up behind Bryan, when she got to him he turned around and she pushed him, unfortunately for her he grabbed her arm and pulled her into the water as well
"What the" Mariah said splashing Bryan
She then swam away as fast as she could, Bryan went underwater and when Mariah stopped swimming he pulled her under, they came back up with Mariah laughing and hitting Bryan
"That was mean" she said with a smile
Bryan was laughing the entire time
"How can I tell him I like him?" Megan asked
"With the words I like you" Mariam said
Amy swam over to Megan and Mariam
"What's going on here" Amy asked
"We can't decide how to tell our crushes we like them" Mariam said
"How about we take tonight to discuss everything" Amy said
"Okay" the two girls said
Amy then felt someone's hands on her shoulders and the next moment she was underwater, she came back up to see Tala laughing
"Oh that's it" Amy said
Amy chased Tala through the water
"A lover's quarrel" Megan said
And Mariam laughed. Julie and Hilary were watching Amy and Tala fighting
"Wow" Julie said
"I can't believe they're so in love they can fight and not be mad" Hilary said
Amy and Tala both turned to Hilary
"What did you say" Amy and Tala both said
"Uh oh" Hilary said
"Why don't you guys settle this by playing chicken" Julie said
"Okay" the Tala and Amy said
"Hilary who's gonna help you?" Amy asked
Hilary thought for a moment then she felt herself being lifted out of the water, and realized she was sitting on Kai's shoulders, Smooth Tala mouthed and Kai smirked, Amy climbed on Tala's shoulders and everyone gathered around to watch, Amy and Hilary were pushing each other while the boys tried to keep their balance, everyone was cheering and they got the attention of everyone at the beach, Hilary could have fallen a few different times but Kai was holding her feet and he was good at keeping his balance Kai smirked at Tala, who looked scared, Kai only kicked Tala hard enough to make him lift up his foot and then Hilary pushed Amy causing Amy and Tala to fall into the water, Everyone started clapping and that's when they realized that they had the attention of everyone at the beach, Kai slowly let Hilary off his shoulders
"Awesome game" Ray said
"Is it lunch time yet?" Julie asked
"Yeah I think so" Caleb said
"Cool Im hungry" Julie said with a smile
Caleb smiled back and everyone got out of the water
"They only won because Kai kicked my foot" Tala said
"No one said I couldn't" Kai said
Tala then started chasing Kai all the way back to the hotel
"So are we going to the beach every day?" Mariam asked
"Yup" Tyson said
