You know what? Maybe my grief won't last too long. Tell me if you want it to last longer, though.

It was just about any other day, except this day you had plans. You were going to the pool! You would've gone to the beach to swim, but... boiling water and all. You, Luz, and Amity, all bought matching swimsuits, they got wetsuits, while you were wearing [whatever you wanna wear idk]. The prints were three different moon phases.

You had scheduled a beach trip with Luz and Amity, and you remembered as soon as your phone began to hum an alarm. You locked the door and changed into your bathing suit, and then went to go remind the others. First, you texted Amity "PLANS!! REMEMBER??" as a reminder, and then went to tell Luz. She was drawing out light glyphs, and you knocked on the door, opened it, and reminded her. "Oh, right!" she responded. You stepped out of her room and went downstairs. As you were grabbing your bag that contained sunscreen and towels, you saw Hunter. Before you could grab it, he asked "What are you doing? Where are you going?" you simply sighed and responded, "Nosy much? Going to the pool. You're not coming anyway." You said while checking if everything was in the bag.

"Oh, actually, Luz invited me." He said, sounding very cheery. Your sanity clouded a little, but you swept them out of the way. "Ok. Text Luz and Amity to say I'm on my way," you said, slightly demandingly. He just gave you a thumbs up and pulled up a scroll to text them. You headed out the door, ready to swim! You double-checked your bag and took out your phone to open up google maps. "Oh... Wait..." you said, completely forgetting that wouldn't work. You tried to remember the twists and turns, and eventually made your way there. For some reason, no one was there. You placed your bag on a chair and pounced into the water. You were just spinning around a little impatiently, and you heard footsteps. Suddenly, their feet stopped making noise. You then heard a sudden "SPLASH!" next to you. You were very shocked by the noise and pushed yourself away from where it was based on reflexes. You turned to look at who startled you, and it was Hunter. Ok, honestly, you were in no position to laugh with THAT self-esteem, but c'mon hunter... he was wearing a wolf-themed swimsuit. You immediately burst into laughter, and you fucking ROLLED BACK. Your head went underwater and you immediately came back up to cough, but you kept laughing. IT WAS FUCKING HILARIOUS!! Your laughter died down after a minute.

"Oh, come on, is it that bad?" he said, embarrassed.

"Yeah, actually. It is," you said before Luz and Amity walked in.

"BESTIES!! Hi," you said, proceeding to follow up with "Oh! What about a swimming contest?" you proposed. Everyone agreed, even Hunter. You were very determined to beat him. You brought out goggles for everyone and got ready. Luz did the countdown. "3, 2, 1... GO!" you went as fast as you could, and from underwater, you saw Hunter push you! He was cheating at this. You pushed yourself so hard to win it hurt. YOU DID IT! You rose from the water and caught your breath. When everyone got up, you told them Hunter cheated.

"HUNTER WAS CHEATING."

"That's how we do it in the castle."

"OH, SHUT UP!" you sighed. "We aren't cheating for this, though."

"Whatever," he said while you clenched your fist and took a deep breath, trying not to punch him.

[insert fun rest of day I don't do memorable shit idk]

While you were joking around with everyone, you caught a glimpse of Hunter. He was smiling and his hair glistened and shimmered in the sun. You felt a weird, sharp pain in your chest. But it didn't feel so bad. You ignored it.

Ok, end of the chapter. There might not be more grief... But you never know... So basically, don't get your hopes up! If you want more grief, I'll probably have more in my other book. 

If you read this, have a good day/evening/night!
