She's sweet like summertime. Daisy is full of energy, she loves talking and blabs to everyone. She's the sunshine on a rainy day.
He's salty like salsa. Elijah is bitter and angry. He barely talks to anyone, he never gets along with people, everyon...
I sigh and tell the teacher i'm not feeling well. I shove my books in my locker and go out the carpark.
I spot him leaning against his car and i walk up to him.
"You okay?"
"Let's go for a swim."
"It's the middle of the school day?"
"Come on, live a little." He grabs my hand.
"Fine."
He opens the car door for me and then goes around to his side. He drives us too a lake.
"I don't have bathers on." I say as he opens the car door for me. There's no one here, just us, a lake, a tree, and a rope attached. Oo yeah.
"You can wear my shirt just come." He takes my hand again as he leads me around his car. I take a moment to look at the scenery, nature.
"Wow."
"I know."
He pulls his shirt off chucking it at my face making me giggle. He gets up into the tree and swings on the rope landing in the water with a splash.
I slide my dress over my head and put on his usual black shirt. It smells like him. Clean, manly.
He has a small smile on his face as i swim towards him, doggy paddling of course. It's the fastest swim i can do. The other ones tire me out too much.
I put my head under the water doing a little swim and coming up right infront of him. I run my hands through my wet curls, brushing them off my face.
"Daisy."
"Yeah?" I cock my head at him. He pauses for a moment.
"Nevermind." He shakes his head, water flying out his hair.
"You can tell me."
"I know."
I then splash water at him before swimming away knowing he is going to drown me.
"Daisy." He rumbles lowly, playfulness still in his voice.
I feel him splash water on me from behind which turns into a whole waterfight.

"Daisy and Elijah, your turn to present." The teacher announces.
"Goodluck." Payton whispers as i stand up. Elijah stays seated. I walk towards him rolling my eyes.
"Get up."
"No."
"We can do it together, come on."
He sighs as he gets up trailing behind me as i walk to the front of the classroom. He stands behind me and plays with the strings on the back of my pastel orange sun-dress.
"Our project is on the titanic. The titanic sank in 1912 on the 14th of April." I say my line and wait to Elijah to say his.
He doesn't.
I elbow him lightly in the ribs. He lets out a grunt.
"The titanic was known to be the largest ship in the world at the time, 'unsinkable' they claimed." He grumbles, his grip on my dress getting tighter.
We finish our project, me doing most the talking. We take a seat back at our desks.
"Elijah really hates public speaking huh." Payton whispers as the next group presents.
"Yeah, a lot. He did a good job though."
"Yeah, he did."
