Unforgettable Adventures

Bonfires

Reggie stood looking into the fire. Her hair was down, wavy from the bun she wore all day. She had on leggings with an over-sized sweatshirt. It had "Seaside Lacrosse" across the front of it, she knew it had to be one of the guys. Reggie was long in the a daze, staring into the fire, not realizing Maddy had come to stand next to her.

"You okay?" She asked, looking into the fire. She could tell something was wrong, and wanted to comfort her friend.

"Yeah, it's nothing," Reggie sighed, looking up from the fire, "I just don't want to...I don't know."

Maddy looked in the direction of where Reggie was staring, she followed her gaze to Miles, Theo, and Shane, who were throwing the Frisbee back and forth.

"So you two had fun today?" Maddy smiled looking at Reggie.

"It was fun," She smiled as she turned her gaze back to the fire, "He's my best friend, we always have fun."

The way Reggie said 'Best Friend' made Maddy know something was up. There was a hint of sadness when she said the word and she wanted to know what she was thinking. Maddy did not want to take a direct approach but there was no other way.

"Best friends, huh?" Maddy looked over at Reggie.

"Shut up..." Reggie stared into the fire, It really is obvious... She thought.

"You could tell him..." Maddy said, she knew that there was always something between them, but they would never say.

"No, that would ruin our friendship..." Reggie looked up at the boys again. Reggie thought of how she would be leaving and have to leave Theo behind, she knew that would kill her already, but if they were more than friends, then it would make her not want to leave.

"Reggie...?" Maddy asked.

"What?" Reggie turned to her.

"Is it because you're leaving?" Maddy asked.

Reggie shook her head yes, and laughed.

Maddy always knew what she was thinking. It was like they were connected. They were sisters is a way, and Reggie knew that Maddy was right, she needed to say something, but she did not know how.

"Let's run to the store and grab some marshmallows." Maddy smiled at her, putting her arm around her shoulder.

"Fine, I'll say something..." Reggie looked at Maddy.

"I knew you'd say that!" Maddy proclaimed.

"But under one condition!"

"What's that?" Maddy looked confused.

"I will do it when the time is right, before I leave."

"That could be months from now!" She shouted causing the boys to look over in their direction.

"Shhh!" Reggie glared at her.

"We're going to the store, you want anything?" Maddy yelled at them.

"Naw, we're good!" They yelled back.

The two girls started to walk away from the fire, and began their journey to the store.

They arrived at the store, and walked straight towards where the sweets were. Maddy went to grab graham crackers, while Reggie went to grab marshmallows, and chocolate. They had brought the roasting sticks to the fire, but they had yet to get the supplies for s'mores. They two girls finished getting what they needed to and headed back up towards the front. Maddy had grabbed a 6 pack of Red Bull, and began to check out. The girls finished at the store and headed back to the beach.
