We put our stuff down on the sand and I gazed out into the water.
My friends came up behind me and threw their stuff to the ground.
"Meet you by the water!" Riley said, running away like a little kid.
I watched as all my friends ran off leaving me alone by our stuff.
Okay, you might think I'm crazy but I hate the beach.
The sand is all sticky and the water is disgusting.
On top of all that, I can't swim.
I never told my friends though because they would probably laugh at me.
I unfolded my chair and put on a pair of sunglasses.
I stretched out my legs, where the sun rays hit me.
Now this is the part where I like the beach.
A few minutes later, I felt the sun disappear and shade get in front of me.
I leaned up and took my sunglasses off.
My friend Lucas stood in front of me.
I tried to ignore the fault that he was shirtless and looked up at his face. "Can I help you?"
"Why aren't you in the water?" He asked me.
"I don't like to. Now can you move? Your blocking my sun." I said, putting my glasses back on.
I heard Lucas laugh and pull me up, "come on let's go!"
"Lucas I don't want to!" I whined, as Lucas tried dragging me away from our stuff.
Unforunately, Lucas was stronger than me and got me towards the water.
I felt my feet get a cold touch of water and I shivered.
"Lucas I really don't like the water." I said, stepping away.
"Aw come on." Lucas said, leaning on a surfboard in the water.
I had a terrible memory from when I was a little kid about the water and started to walk away.
"I'm sorry--- I just gotta go" I started running away when someone bumped into me and I lost my balance.
I fell into the water, in the deeper part and tried to put my feet on the bottom.
I was too short for it and I gasped for air.
I found myself sinking below the water and just staying there.
I felt hands grab me and swim me to the ledge.
My hair was soaking wet and I felt dizzy from being underwater.
I felt the sand I was on and looked in front of me to see Lucas.
"Y-You saved me?" I said, catching my breath.
"You could say that. I just wanted my best friend to be okay." He said, smiling down at me.
I looked down at the sand, blushing a little.
"So you can't swim?" He asked.
I sighed, playing with my tangly wet hair.
"Nope. You can laugh if you want." I mumbled.
Lucas didn't laugh, though. "Why would I laugh? It's fine."
Lucas helped me stand on my two feet and held my hand.
"How about I teach you?"
I tried to pull away. "I don't know..."
Lucas tightened his grip. "I'll protect you. Always."
