Chasing Fintry

chapter 30- I warned you

The next day we headed down to the beach pretty early. It was only us, there were a few people walking their dogs or walking by them selves. I grabbed the soccer ball and gently kicked it between my feet. "Are we gonna play or not?" Elliot said stretching towards the sky. I admired his abs as he stretched. "Enjoying this?" He said spinning in a full circle. I rolled my eyes and passed him the ball. Bailey wasn't big on soccer so it was Elliot, and I, versus Wyatt and Ashton. We had ball first. I made a swift between the legs pass to Elliot. He dribbled the ball up to the goal and gently kicked it in. He ran towards me with this arms out straight. "And Brazil wins it all." He says as he reaches me. I shook my head as he gently kissed me. I waited as Ashton set the ball back up so we could start again. Ashton tried to pass to Wyatt which I swiftly intercepted. I ran down the length of sand we were using as our field and kicked the ball into the goal. I ran over to Elliot and jumped on his back. "2-0 losers." I said hopping off and stood back from the center some. This time I let Ashton make a pass to Wyatt. I let Wyatt take about five steps before running to him. I tried to kick the ball away from him but our feet got tangled and he fell face first into the sand. He looked up and there was sand coating his face. The boys started laughing and Wyatt stood up and brushed the sand off of him self. "I'm sorry." I said barely containing my laughter either. "You should be." He said before taking the ball away from me and scoring. I shrugged as he grinned victoriously. Me and Elliot ended up winning 15-5 we only had about an hour to play before the more people showed up.

After that I went and laid beside Bailey who was tanning, the boy decided to surf. We laid there in silence as we tanned. I heard my phone go off and I opened my eyes and picked it up. I looked down and saw it was from Carter. It read

You went to the beach without me?

I rolled my eyes and locked my phone, I heard another ding as I was about to set it down.

You don't want to ignore me

Stop seriously you'll regret it if you ignore me

I snorted and sat my phone down. "what's so funny?" Bailey asked lifting up her sunglasses. "Carter is trying to act all big and bad." I said laying my head down. "Your not scared?" She asked. "Nope I have a restraining order." I said shrugging. She nodded. "good point."

A little bit later I felt something dripping on me. I looked up and saw Elliot standing over me. "Elliot move." I shrieked. He laughed and shook his head causing more salt water to fall on me. I sat up and saw Wyatt standing in front of me. "Its so hot." He complained. I nodded in agreement. It was hot but not unbearable. The next thing I hear is someone yelling 'heads' and Wyatt falling into the sand. He stood up and grabbed the soccer ball that was beside of him and rubbed his head. "I'm so sorry." I girl with long red hair said running up to us. "I was playing with my brothers and tried to do a trick and it went way wrong and came flying over here." Wyatt looked down at her because she was a good foot shorter than him. "Don't worry about it." He said flashing her one of his grins. Either that girl was blushing majorly or a ginger was actually getting sunburned. "Uh we were actually starting a new game if ya'll wanna join us." She said pointing her thumb towards three tall built guys. I looked up at the boys and they nodded. I stood up and we walked over to where they were playing. "Silly me I forgot my name is Roxanne but friends call me Rox for short, these are my brothers and they are Joel, Dustin, and Lee." They all mumbled a hey. "I'm Wyatt and this is Ashton, Elliot, Fintry, and the girl over there is Bailey." We all mumbled our hellos.

We divided up into teams it was me, Elliot, Ashton and Joel on one team and on the other was Wyatt, Rox, Dustin, and Lee.

The other team started with the ball. I'm not going to lie Rox's family had some skill, but so did we. For almost fifeteen minutes the game went tied 0-0 until we got a fast break and Joel took a shot and made it. I let out a little cry of happiness and high five Joel. For the first time in months I felt normal, nobody had to know what happened to Elliot, nobody was walking on egg shells around me.
