Alexa had cried bitterly , her face had nearly turned red , , she had wept her mascara on her eyes and the tears had washed the eyeliner on her face , " alexa is everything alright" , " do I look okay" , alexa said , Jennifer's friends them came to look for her they found her quarreling with alexa , " is everything okay here" tom said , " tom I think everything is fine we can settle this on our own" , they then went back and left Jennifer and alexa alone , Jennifer and alexa entered the locker room and locked . Alexa then sat on a chair , she looked closely into the mirror all she could see was her face messed up with her makeup and tears " is this the look of failure" , " come on alexa , this is normal don't be so carried away by your feeling , it happened to me the previous time , when lanna beat me , but she tried to cool me down and old me to try my best , winning is every one's wish , but success is random , another time you may win , when everything seems lost never give up" , " but how I just tried my best to win but it is still nothing after all" , " back when I was in rehearsal you made a big mistake , the audience saw it all , and you refused to hear my advice , they saw you that you were not fit to be prom queen , because of what you did , it made them hate you" , "Jennifer I'm sorry for sure I never like to say so , but I admit it , I was wrong and unkind , but how will I ever be successful , tell me what I'm supposed to do" , " I have only one option" , " then what is it that could help" said alexa , she wiped her eyes " just be yourself you can be a better person if you removed your bad attitude and bitterness" alexa started to smile as Jennifer said to her , " let's go outside I've got to address the audience but I want you to come with me" Jennifer went on stage but alexa stayed behind for a while , " hello everyone once again , hope you are enjoying the dance party , but before you proceed I want to say something before earlier this night I noticed something , it is meant for everyone who loses hope in time of failure ,but it's no one's choice to lose so I just want to say this on behalf of alexa , first of all she owes apologies to everyone who ran into problems with her , I talked to her earlier and there is really something good in her though she doesn't seem to shoe it so I want to call alexa on stage" Jennifer said and alexa came forward but no one booed her, they were all inspired by Jennifer's speech , " and I am doing this on purpose , today we are not having one prom queen but two , I chose to share my throne" , everyone was surprised by Jennifer's words , " what is she doing: Ritha said to the others , " alexa you can have the crown too" , alexa came forward , " really jennifer , I hope this isn't a prank" , " no I'm serious" , " Jennifer I don't know what to say it's like a dream come true" alexa said and hugged Jennifer and everyone clapped their hands " merry hill , this comes from the bottom of my heart , I'm so sorry for the bad tempered behavior I showed everyone , so I ask if it is possible , you may forgive me" , every one clapped hands for alexa and she smiled to them she felt the urge to do something more , " merry hill this song is yours" alexa said and started singing the whole hall cheered up and danced in the music , Jennifer returned to her friend and hugged them all , " Jennifer that was a nice thing you did back there , I think I would have done it before too" , " no lanna I don't blame you this was my suggestion you also did yours , anyway let's party" Jennifer said they all went on the dance floor and partied . Time to go home arrived and they all went back ritha , headed to her bed without even talking to her parents she was very tired and then dosed off . Ritha woke up late the next morning , she called bill , " hello" , " hello bill" , " oh hi ritha , doing well" , " yeah and you" , " oh I am great too" , " so what are you doing" , " I had to do some morning jog" , " wow so early like this" , " actually it's so late" , " yeah , I know anyway I just wanted to check on you , do you want to go surfing with me I miss those moments" , " yeah I think it would be nice , let's meet this afternoon" , " okay bill hope I'll see you go on with your jog" , " see yah ritha" , " bye" ritha said to bill and hang up .

The day was quite long , but finally time passed and the afternoon reached , she prepared t go to the barracuda club , she took her bag and went to the barracuda club . She arrived at the club , before she entered she saw bill's car come and parked next to her she then waited for him to get out .

After changing , they went to the beach , " bill I am so happy that we met again at the beach , I couldn't resist to it" , " yeah good thing the hard work paid off this last week" , " yeah but today I am winning today bill" , " oh come on you still want to play this game , I am ready to challenge you" , bill said and followed her into the water . They surfed the hole afternoon , until they started playing baby stuff of building sand castles , "ritha you won you beat me in surfing but I am better at building sand castles" , " okay surrender bill" ritha said and looked into bills eyes , she then kissed him . " I am really going to miss this time we had , you and I at the sea and no one else" ritha said to bill , " ritha , I really like to hear that and I suggest we can show every one we are lovers , right , I don't care what they will wonder , just you and me and the sea" , " I love you bill" , " I love you too ritha , any way it is getting cold , let's go inside" , bill said and they went into the locker room , and changed . After changing bill drove ritha home , on the way bill stopped to get some coffee , he bought some heart shaped cup cakes , ritha opened the box and smiled , " bill I love them" , " they are not any type , my mom used to buy them for me , and they are a special treat for me , and I hope you'll love them too , but I won't be like my mom ritha , I will always love you I won't leave you" , ritha smiled to bill as he said , they went on to ritha's home . Bill stopped by when he reached ritha's home , and dropped her by , " ritha before I go , I want to let you know that dad has done all the arrangements , I will come to merry hill this coming week" , " I am so happy to hear that bill I am not worried any more" , " so , good bye ritha" , " see yah" bill said an went , ritha entered the gate . The following day was very long for both of them , ritha couldn't wait to meet bill at school , the day seemed to be endless , she had nothing to do but wait . In the afternoon she remembered all about the surfing competition in two weeks while she was trapped in her thoughts , so she decided to go for a jog , in order to keep fit , she was quiet the kind of surfer that her coach thought could win because of her hard work , she had to practice hard in order to impress her coach . After all the practice she had a shower and watched her favorite movie until dinner . Ritha went to bed after diner in order to wake up early , she played her smooth jazz songs , romantic moments with bill are all that came to her mind , until she dosed off .
