Chapter 2: Texting
Sawyer woke up at 7:56AM just to text Hazel. Knowing her, he knew she would be up at 6:30AM in the morning every day.
Sawyer Nelson: Morning Hazel :)
She replied a few minutes later. Hazel H: Morning :)
Sawyer Nelson: I can't believe you're up already!
Hazel H: That's what I was gonna say about you! :)
Sawyer Nelson: Haha, very funny
Hazel H: Wanna come to the aquarium already? Dad's working early today :)
Sawyer Nelson: No need to ask twice! I'll be there in ten minutes ;)
Hazel H: Okay :)
Sawyer then shuts his phone, and does everything he can in five minutes. Shower, change, brush his teeth, and eat breakfast. He also left a note for his mom that said: Going to work early today Love you! –Sawyer :)
Sawyer hurried to the garage, and started to pedal on his bike. He dashed through and under trees and finally saw the sign that said: This way to Clearwater Marine Aquarium Sawyer got there in under 10 minutes, and parked his bike. He walked to Hazel's houseboat and see her in the crow's nest. That's weird, she's rarely up there anymore. Sawyer climbs up the ladder to the crow's nest anyway, and sees Hazel. "What's wrong?" Sawyer asked. Hazel didn't look like she was crying, but she still looked sad. "Nothing." Hazel said miserably. "Okay." Sawyer awkwardly says. They sit in silence for a while. "Let's go to work." Hazel says. "Okay." Sawyer mumbles. Hazel climbs down, and Sawyer does after. Hazel uses the front entrance to get inside, and Sawyer just follows. There is a crowd, full of not visitors, but volunteers. Hazel keeps saying to everyone, "Excuse me." But Sawyer says silent. He could have gotten out of the crowd in one more step, but someone grabbed his arm. Sawyer turned around and saw Susie. "Susie?" Susie smiles and keeps a firm grip on his arm. "Can we talk?" Susie half-yells over the chattering of the volunteers. Sawyer keeps tugging, but Susie doesn't let go. "Later?" he says. Susie seems a little disappointed, but Sawyer finally sees Susie has let go. Sawyer walks up to catch up to Hazel and bam! Sawyer bumped into Hazel, and he says, "Sorry." Hazel says quietly, "It's okay. Let's just go." Hazel walks faster than Sawyer, and walks over to sit at a bench near the dolphin tank. Sawyer wonders why Hazel is acting strange, so he sits on a bench a couple inches away and pulls out his phone.
Sawyer Nelson: Are you sad, Hazel? :( Hazel heard her phone ring, and replied:
Hazel H: Something like that
Sawyer Nelson: Would you tell me why?
Hazel H: It might be stupid…
Sawyer Nelson: Nothing you say is stupid :)
Hazel H: Okay :) Hazel looks at Sawyer, but Sawyer is focused on his phone. Hazel gets a little pink and types:
Hazel H: Well
Sawyer Nelson: Well what?
Hazel H: it's kind of sad news
Sawyer Nelson: mm hmm what happened?
Hazel H: Dad is giving the house boat away :'(
Sawyer Nelson: Why?! :(
Hazel H: He says we need a regular house
Sawyer Nelson: That's not a reason :|
Hazel H: I know I said I wanted a real house when I was 13 I think but now I like the houseboat a lot I don't want my childhood to be given away
Sawyer Nelson: You did spend basically your whole life there ;)
Hazel H: yeah I did :(
Sawyer Nelson: It will get better I promise :)
Sawyer smiles at Hazel, and Hazel looks at him. They both blush a little.
Hazel H: I like talking to you :)
Sawyer Nelson: Thanks I'm pretty professional
Hazel H: haha :)
Sawyer turns off his phone and quietly tells Hazel, "Race you to the sea otters!" Hazel gets caught by surprise and turns off her phone. "Hey! Wait up!" Hazel yells.
Hazel
Hazel waved goodbye to Sawyer and he waved goodbye to her. Hazel smiles. It was turning dark, so Hazel decides to go up the crow's nest. Not to see the stars, but only to think. When Hazel looks up at the sky she thinks to herself, I wish Sawyer and I could be more than just fr-"Hey Dad." Hazel tells her father seeing him about to walk to the houseboat. Her father waves at her, and she waves back. I guess I need to sleep.
Hazel wakes up at 8:38AM on a Sunday, and that was unusual for her. She'd always wake up at 6:30. Hazel ignores it anyway, and checks her phone. It had 5 texts, which were all from Sawyer.
Sawyer Nelson texted at 6:31AM: Morning Hazel :)
Sawyer Nelson texted at 6:33AM: I know I'm up pretty early
Sawyer Nelson texted at 6:52AM: HELLO :) ?
Sawyer Nelson texted at 7:14AM: You probably overslept
Sawyer Nelson texted at 7:56AM: text me soon :)
Hazel read all his texts feeling a little guilty that she had made Sawyer wait for her response, so she texted him.
Hazel H: sorry Sawyer I overslept just woke up :(
Sawyer replied a second later.
Sawyer Nelson: It's okay Hazel
Hazel H: So … what are you doing?
Sawyer Nelson: Reading a dolphin book :)
Hazel H: How long have you been reading?
Sawyer Nelson: An hour or so ;)
Hazel H: Wanna do something till 12?
Sawyer Nelson: Sure! :)
Hazel H: Breakfast at Waffle House?
Sawyer Nelson: Meet you there :)
Hazel H: Okay
Sorry I had to end right there! I just want to make sure, if this looks like a good enough fanfiction chapter for a day. (I'm beginning!) Hazel is going to Waffle House in the next chapter, don't worry. ;) See you in the next chapter! :)
