"Elena! Your coming over after school. I need help with science." I nodded. "Of course I am. And you need to help me With math. By the way..." I began, but the bell rang. Signaling our next class. "Never mind." I said. As I saw the other jocks heading for us. "Dude, what the hell are You doing with her?" They laughed. Ethan stood there awkwardly. I scoffed walking away. "Ooh it has attitude!" They joked, Ethan faked a laugh. You could so obviously tell. That's when I was unlucky enough to run into Amber. "Ew! Fucking freak! Get off me!" She squealed. Startled I scrambled my books off the ground and I felt a sudden pounding in my side. Then an agonizing pain following. I had realized I had been kicked and kicked. Over and over again-
I jerked up suddenly grasping onto the sheets for dear life. I realized I had let out an ear piercing scream as well. I took a moment to acknowledge, it never happened. It was only a nightmare. I picked myself out of bed. After realizing it was 7:am....on a Saturday. Ugh, it's time to get ready for the beach anyways. I really don't wanna go. But there is no getting out of this. I'm not going swimming. So I just lathered myself in more than enough sunscreen. I dressed in shorts and a half shirt. I threw my hair into a ponytail and grabbed my shades. I ran downstairs to make sure my mom was up. "Hey, it's about time your up! We don't wanna be late. " I laughed. "Late? Mom, it's 7am. " she nodded. "Yes,yes But we're spending the day on the board walk too. In those shops. " I groaned. "Will I at least get money?!" I asked. "Yes, Elena" my mother sighed. I squealed. "Yay, money!!! One thing I do like about today." He rolled her eyes. "You and Ethan will make up. Trust me." I thought 'yeah right'. But I just shrugged and headed to the door and slipped on my vans. I brought my mascara with me. I applied a generous amount of that in the car. (I'm a rebel I know)
As we arrived they cane into view. We set our stuff down and got settled in a spot near the parking lot. Under some trees. I left my shoes in the car and decided to walk away from the scene. You know, Ethan ... but I was going to atleast enjoy the beach right? I kept walking untill I got to a nice spot further down the shoreline. There was only a couple a little over to the left of me. Other than that it was just me. And it was perfect. I sat down on the sand. Taking in the breathtaking view. I closed my eyes, and I could feel the wind againsed my skin, I could hear the waves crashing againsed the sand. I could smell the salt in the air.. I felt nice and cool under this tree and. I had become completely absorbed in my own thoughts. Slowly, my eyes fluttered open. I had realized I was looking at things so....blatantly. escpecially-" What are You doing?" I heard Ethan behind me. "Thinking...alone. " I said. Hinting I wanted to be left alone. But of course he just couldn't resist. I sighed as he took a seat next to me.
"Listen," he began. Oh God..." I dnt want to be here just as much as you do. Okay? But why don't we just play along so we don't get in trouble. " I thought about what he had just said... and it made perfect sense. We act like friends around our parents..so that we don't get in trouble for it. " okay, fine. " I agreed. "Can you maybe take me up to the boardwalk though? I don't wanna be Here when they decide to go." He nodded. "Fine, But you owe me. " I wanted to slap him so hard. And tell him all the reasons he owed me instead. But right now, I really needed a ride to the boardwalk.
Flashback
"Ethan your so stupid" I laughed. "Really? Or am I just sexy?" He joked. Walking into the store covered in paint. "Dude, your covered in paint." He nodded. "Yeah thanks, el. Its all your fault." He said . Fixing his hair jokingly. "Where's your mirror idiot?" I asked. "Up yours" he replied. "Ethan!" I said slapping him lightly...kinda. I almost fell backwards as we walked down isle 3. Lucky me, Ethan always has my back. "Woah, who's the idiot now?" He laughed. I smiled knowing I wasn't going to give him a reaction. "Okay, let's get what we need"
We laughed getting what we needed off the shelves.
End of flashback
"Elena! " he said waving a hand in front of my face. "Get in the car!" He sang in a sing-song voice. I rolled my eyes getting in.I stared out the window the entire time. Trying to avoid him and his loudly overplayed radio station. My mind kept drifting back to our Friendship. I wish I hadent pushed him away. Maybe we could have been like the beach.
How the waves never stopping kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it was pushed away.
