The Adventures of Teen Island

Valentine

Emma's POV
Its been a few months since everything happened with Darrel. Christmas on Teen Island is one wild party, and there are no words to describe new years. Now Valentines Day is approaching and Clay is not giving me any slack. "Will you shut your trap before I shove a sock in it?!" I said. I'm pulling laundry out of the dryer. "All I'm saying is, you better have something good for Carter because that woman is hard to please" he said. I threw a tide pod at him and when he caught it, it exploded in his hand. "Ew" he whined. I smirked and closed the dryer. I picked up the laundry basket and brought it back to Carter and I's room. I moved into her room. Now we have a spare since Noah and Oliver are practically besties and sleep in the same room. "Laundry's done" I said, shutting the door with my foot. "Clay give you more shit?" She asked. "What makes you ask?" I asked. "You're holding a sock" she said. I looked down and dropped the sock. "Yes he did" I said. "If it makes you feel better, Oliver has been up my ass about you" she said. "Well I hope that you get me something good because I have the ultimate gift for you, and I guarantee that nothing you get me can beat it" I said. "Is it a competition?" She asked, with a laugh. "Everything is" I shrugged. She chuckled. "I have something in mind. I'm not sure about it though" she said. "Why?" I asked. She shrugged. "You're not gonna say anything to give it away, are you?" I asked. She shook her head. I rolled my eyes. "Fine" I said. "You do know why Clay is up your ass right?" She asked. "Because he doesn't want me to fuck up valentines day?" I asked. "No, although that is why Oliver is up mine. Clay is up your ass because he doesn't have anyone up his." She said. I laughed. "What?" I asked, still laughing. "Its valentines day and he's a fourteen year old boy. He's lonely and you're his bestfriend. He's looking for a distraction" she said. "Are you saying I should get Clay a girlfriend?" I asked. "No, but suggesting it to him might not be the worst idea. Just so he'll leave you alone" she said. "I doubt he'll listen" I said.

Clays POV
Emma practically told me to fuck off. She told me to find a girlfriend like that's so easy. As if I haven't been trying since I got here. I hate being alone. I'm walking along the beach in my swim shorts and my bandit jacket. Carter says we should wear them as much as possible. I was gonna go surfing but I'm not really feeling it anymore. My ears twitched as I heard a high pitched scream. I looked behind me to see a girl in the water. She's getting hit by the waves but she's not moving. She must be stuck on something. I ran towards the water and dropped my jacket. I dove in and swam out to her. "Are you ok?" I yelled over the waves. "I'm stuck in a rock" she yelled back. I dove under the water as another wave crashed down. I pried apart the two rocks as much as I could and she wiggled her foot free. I came back up and took a deep breath. I wrapped my arm around her and brought her back to shore.

I bent over to her sitting in the sand. "Are you ok?" I asked. "Other than being waterlogged and a little bruised, yeah. Thanks" she said. "No problem. Just doing my job" I said panting. The water is really rough today. I'm kinda glad I didn't decide to surf. I walked back up the sand and put on my jacket. I clutched it around me as I shivered. "Hey!" The girl yelled. I turned back to her. "You're a bandit?" She asked shocked. "Yeah. What did you think my job was? We don't have lifeguards here" I said. She laughed and walked over to me. "I don't know. I just didn't think you'd be a bandit. You don't look... mature? Enough I guess" she said. I rolled my eyes. "Thanks" I said sarcastically. "Sorry, but I'm impressed." She said. "Ok. I'm gonna go now" I said, turning around. "Wait! My friends are further down the beach. Do you wanna hang out? Its the least I can offer you for saving me" she said. I started thinking out loud. "Hmm. Hang out with you, or go back home and watch the lesbians be cute and cuddly... Ill take you. Lets go" I said. She smiled and guided me down the beach. "I'm Benny by the way" she said. "Clay" I introduced myself.

"Guys!" Benny called out. Her friends looked over. "Hey! Where'd you go?" A girl asked. "I got stuck in the water out there. I almost drowned, but then Clay here saved my ass" Benny said. "Oh damn. You met a bandit on the beach? Lucky bastard" her friend said. I looked to the side. Can I just die right here and now? Id rather die then be roped into the popular assholes just because Benny is cute. "Clay, this is Ava, Sophia, and Dominic" benny said. I waved. Ava is the only one whos not a human and I can only tell cause her eyes are glowing. My tail slowly crept between my legs. I'm always uncomfortable in a crowd of humans. I guess that's my family's fault. "Thanks for saving her. She's the only one that does dishes in the house" Sophia said. "Just doing my job" I said. "Dominic, get this guy a drink. Sit down Clay" Benny said. I hesitated but sat down. Dominic handed me a solo cup with a mystery liquid in it. I'm not drinking that.

They talked and talked and talked for hours. Every once in a while they would ask me about how hard it is to be a bandit but then they'd shift it back to themselves. Benny may have long sexy auburn hair, pretty brown eyes, and a nice ass but I don't think this is worth it. I'm staring at the water, stirring the straw in my cup slowly. "Clay?" Benny asked. I looked at her and noticed that her friends are gone. "The others left a while ago. I just wanted to see if you'd notice" she said. I looked back at the water. "Sorry." I said. "Its ok. I know they're a bit much. I also know I got a little excited when I found out you were a bandit, but in my defense, I was kinda drunk." She said. "Its ok" I said. "I'm sorry we left you out" she said. "Its fine. I'm not one for drama anyway" I said. "So, do you wanna hang out again?" She asked. I looked at her confused. "Do you have any plans for valentines day?" She asked. "Are you asking me to be your valentine?" I asked. "Hey, you saved my life. You have no idea how hot you look in my eyes right now" she said. I smiled and looked down. "Sure. Ill give you my number" I said.

Carters POV
The day has arrived, and now Oliver has finally shut the fuck up. I made breakfast. Technically, its for Emma, but I had extra pancake batter so I just left the plate on the counter and walked back to my room. I was met with Emma's gaze as I walked in the door. She's still laying in bed. "How long have you been up?" I asked. "Not long" she said. "I made you breakfast" I said. "You? Did you poison it or something?" She asked sitting up. I rolled my eyes and handed her food to her. "Thank you. Its very sweet of you" she said. "I've never been called that before. I'm usually either spicy or sour" I said. She giggled. "Well, one girls spice is another girls sugar" she said. "Clever" I said. She smiled proudly and I rolled my eyes. "I'm actually really looking forward to our movie night" she said. "Me too" I said. That's what we agreed on because we both don't wanna go out. Courtney and Stephanie are at Lovers Cove. The others seem ok with being single, except for Clay but he's got a date.

"Babe!" Emma jumped on me and pushed me back on the bed. "Hi" I said, with a laugh. "Can I give you your gift now?" She asked. I rolled my eyes. She's been asking all day. "Fine" I said. She jumped off me and grabbed a box from under the bed. She handed it to me. I sat up and took it. My eyes widened when I opened it. Its a gun from the night market. My eyes widened. "How did you get this?" I asked shocked. "I forged your signature. It was a lot of paperwork. I never wanna go to the night market again" she said. "Yeah. The stuff there is awesome but its hard to get. I can't believe you did this. Thank you" I said. "You're welcome" she said. "Sit down so I can give you your gift" I said, pushing the box out of the way. She sat down and looked at me. I took a deep breath. I leaned forward, put my hand on the side of her face and kissed her. She was shocked but kissed back. "Woah" she said. "I think I did better" I whispered. She rolled her eyes. "Yeah you did" she pouted. I laughed.
