Eyes of Fire [Sam Uley]

TWO|Friends & Fun

Olivia was sitting with her back against one of the boulders, as she sat on the far end of First Beach and her shoes were kicked off.

Olivia was glancing up at the powerful waves every once and a while that hit the beach, as she was sketching out the shoreline and her eyes were squarely now on the page in front of her.

At least they were, until the sketchbook was yanked from her hands. "Hey, this looks REALLY good." The shadow of a familiar face was falling over her and Olivia scoffed.

"Hand it over, Paul!" Olivia said and she was getting up real quickly onto her feet, stumbling slightly in the wet slippery sand, until she had gotten her balance back. "Hey, hand it back you two!" She shouted after them as she saw that Paul was flipping through it and that Jared Cameron had followed him over and now, he was peering over his shoulder.

"You are just gonna have to catch us both first, Livvy." Jared called out and Olivia dropped her backpack onto the beach, the soaking wet sand beneath her and she took off running after the two.

Paul and Jared were passing the sketchbook back and forth, as Olivia was hollering at them and she finally managed to tackle Jared, the taller but skinnier one and Jared hit the ground with a thump and a grunt, as the air went out of him.

Unfortunately though, Paul had the sketchbook this time and Olivia was shaking her head, as she let Jared up and she was panting quietly from the constant running as Jared hadn't quite gotten up from her accidentally being the one who winded him.

"Paul, just hand it over." She said as she held out her hand and Paul raised his eyebrows at her. "Paul, I have had a hell of a day and I'm gonna have a lot of changes going on. Just hand it back over to me, please?" She asked and Paul closed the book carefully as he held it out to her. "Thanks Lahote."

"You know that I was just trying to have some fun, right? I'm sorry that I didn't know." Paul mumbled as he awkwardly walked over as he nearly fell before he got to her.

"Paul?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah?"

"Shut up." Olivia stated and Paul laughed a little bit, as Paul went to retrieve her backpack from the far side and the edge of the beach, while Olivia walked over to Jared.

Jared, who was still lying on the wet sand and Olivia, she squatted down in front of him and she waved her hand in front of his face. "Are you alive in there, McFly?" Olivia asked and Jared laughed at the words and she sighed a little. "Really didn't mean to tackle you so hard, sorry Jare." She said and held out her hand to help him up, and he accepted the hand up onto his feet again.

"No problem. We were the ones who started it anyways, we deserved it. I'm just glad that you tackled me and not Paul, I have a feeling that he would've smacked you." Jared joked and at the words, Olivia rolled her eyes.

"Uh huh, sure, and then some of the pigs will eventually start to fly." Olivia sarcastically replied as Jared laughed.

In the time that it took for them to exchange those words and for Olivia to help Jared brush the sand off of his pants, jacket and his shirt, Paul had returned with Olivia's backpack over his left shoulder.

"Thanks Paulo." She said and Paul stuck out his tongue at her. "All right, Pee-pee it is then." Olivia said and then before he could tackle her, she took off running down the beach and Jared was laughing, chasing after her and Paul was running to catch up in a state of anger.

Olivia spotted Sam's truck pulling up and unsurprisingly, a bunch of people spilled out of both the cab of the truck and the bed of it, as well. Olivia took in the people quickly, calculating how many teenagers and younger tweens that she could spot right off of the bat.
