"Can you help me clean up please" Arya came into the caravan to help her mum put some things away.
A few days had passed since that night, with the boys and Robin. She'd been seeing him and the brothers a few times now. It was much easier to spent time with them all, now that they all knew each other a bit better.
"Arya, your phone keeps going off" she turned to pick up her phone, which kept ringing and alerting notifications.
Arya's mum glared at the phone and then to Arya, she knew too well who it was.
Sighing Arya picked up the phone, the texts were almost predictable. She opened the phone and without properly reading any of the messages she muted the contact.
"Have you told him, that it's bad signal here?" Her mum spoke up. Arya side glanced at her mother. She nodded ashamed for not fault of her own.
"Well if he doesn't get the memo that's his fault" she smiled at her daughter, acknowledging her situation.
Suddenly there was a light knock at the door of the caravan, her mum and Arya turned to see who stood at the open door.
"Robin?" Arya's face creased, soon turning to a smile as she realised who he was. He wore a summery t-shirt and some white branded swimming trunks and to top it off he wore some black ray band sunglasses, which were perfect. Arya stared at how flattering it all looked on him.
"Oh urm mum this is my friend Robin i've spoken about, we met last year" Arya smiled looking between him and her mum.
"Oh right, it's nice to meet you" she smiled, a little confused as to why he was here.
"I was just wondering if I could take Arya to the beach today? She'll be with me and my mum and brothers" He explained to her, Arya following along too.
"Well I don't see any problem with it, as long as you text me so I know your ok" agreeing, Arya turned to Robin with excited eyes.
"I'll grab some stuff and be out in a sec" she spoke, heading to grab some stuff to take.
Meanwhile Robin stood outside, waiting for Arya. Storm came trotting over, asking for some fuss from him.
Arya's dad cleared up some things, keeping and eye on the dog and the boy.
"So you live around here?" He asked, taking a sip from a beer he'd poured.
"Yeh, just around the corner actually" Robin replied politely.
"Must be nice living in somewhere like this" they spoke from awhile before seeing Arya come out with a small drawstring bag over her shoulder, she wore a loose shirt and some grey shorts, her sunglasses set over her head.
"I'll be back later dad" she spoke, saying goodbye.
"I'll see you later, be careful please" he called as the two began to walk away.
"I will" she laughed, as they reached the bridge.
"Your parents are nice" Robin spoke, with a playful tone, he placed his hands in his short pockets.
"Thanks but you could have told me you were coming over" Arya glared with a small smile.
"Well I could have but that would be boring" he replied, throwing his arm around her. Arya held onto his waist as they made their way towards the beach.
"Race you to beach huts?" Arya looked up at Robin, smiling evilly.
"Sure and if I win I get to throw you in the sea" he laughed taking his arm back and the walked single file into the woods.
"And if I win I get to throw you into the sea" Arya returned the smile.
"You couldn't throw me if you tried" he laughed louder this time, knowing he was right.
"Fine... I'll ask Dylan" she watched his face drop.
"Ok.... 3...2..." Arya held onto her bag, so I would not weigh her down.
"1... go" Robin sprinted ahead, taking the usual route.
Arya stopped and saw a second path running down the hill, she took the gamble and decided to take it instead of taking the hill.
The path lead her under all the accenting hills and weaved through into a clearer route she wasn't used to, without the obstacles of trees and low lying branches.
She ran as quickly as she could, knowing she was getting close to the beach. A small sand hill came into view, it was fairly steep and looked difficult to go up.
Arya took a few breathes before beginning to conquer it. She took as good run up and quickly reached half way. The sand then started to drag her down as it fell away at her feet. For a time it seemed like she was going no where like she was going the wrong way on an escalator.
She kept pushing until she could nearly see over the top, pops of bright colours came over the hill. The beach huts.
It was at this point there were some heavy foot steps come from the tops of the higher hills. Robin came out on top of one of them.
He could see Arya and her struggles to reach the huts and made a break for them too. Arya now saw Robin coming down the hill and pushed even harder to get through the sand.
With one last final push Arya reached flatter land, with Robin still descending the hill.
Arya ran like it was the last time towards the beach huts, nearly stumbling over her own feet, catching herself at the last second.
Robin watched the girl get closer and closer to them, until finally she had done it. Placing her hand on them to signify her achievement.
"YESSS!! I WON! Ha beat that sucker!" She called to Robin who eventually reaching the end.
Arya ran circles around him, rubbing it in his face.
"Well done, I'll give you that, I did think you were going to loose though when I first saw you" he laughed.
From where they were standing they could just about see the sea. Arya turned to see how far in the water was and noticed how busy it seemed to be.
"Come on, I think they are waiting for us" Robin called along as they made their way onto the beach.
