I wait patiently on the sand. Three girls are walking. One of them is Sirena and the other two I don't the names of.
"Hi Sirena," I run up to them.
"Um who are you?" The curly, blonde hair girl asks before Sirena could reply back.
"Usually people remember the fiery red hair," I sigh sarcastically, "Also how can you forget me with a tail?"
The brunette says, "You're the other one."
"I have a name," I smirk, "its Ash and you two are?"
The brunette answers, "Mimi."
"Ondina," the blonde girl stands proudly, "Why are you here, stalking us?"
Jake screams, "Hey Ash!"
I turn and smile at him.
My head returns to the girls, "Well I got to go."
"Be careful!" Sirena yells.
I yelp back, "Always am!"
I run over to Jake, "Hi."
He laughs, "Nice to see you."
I nod and sit on the sand.
"So what were you guys talking about?" He questions.
I look up at him, "Who?"
He points over at Sirena, Ondina, and Mimi.
"She was telling me all about Australia," I lie.
I think my life will become a lie now.
He asks, "Why did she say to be careful?"
I smirk, "Be careful of you."
"Come on tell me the truth," he nudges me.
I don't listen him and I tell another lie, "The sharks! Like I said yesterday."
"It is always sharks!" he yells to the heavens.
I laugh, "Jaws!"
"Jaws?" He looks at me like I'm crazy.
I reply, "Jaws, the Steven Spielberg movie where a huge shark terrorizes a small town."
He shakes his head.
"Come on," I complain, "That's a classic!"
"Indiana Jones, you should have seen it?" I ask.
"It's about the state Indiana isn't it?" He answers with a question.
I facepalm, "I can't believe I'm on a date with someone who doesn't know his movies!"
"It's not my fault!" He laughs.
I chuckle, "Please tell me you have at least seen Star Wars!"
"I have heard of Star Wars," he tries for a loop hole.
I push him, "Okay, you need to come to my house and watch those movies!"
"Now?" he asks.
I shake my head, "No, if we are going to watch all those movies, it will take the whole day. You also need to see Ghostbusters 1 and 2, E.T, Rocky, 9 to 5, Superman, and Footloose."
"Well alright," he goes in awe, "That's a lot."
"It's your fault for not seeing those movies," I grin.
He looks at his phone and panics, "Crap, I'm almost late."
He stands up, "This was a nice date."
