Sinking

Never, and I mean NEVER talk to him--

After our little swimming lesson we decided to watch The DUFF. After the movie we went to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"After breakfast do you wanna go for a morning run down the pier?" Laura asked as she fried some eggs in a pan.

"Um yeah! sounds nice." I said
with a small amount of excitement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After breakfast Laura did my makeup and picked out a cute running outfit. she gave me a gray muscle tee that said "Explore" in neon orange letters and a pair of black yoga pants with a neon orange stripe on the side. I pulled my hair up into a messy ponytail. Laura was wearing black and white under armor shorts and she was wearing a black muscle tee crop top that said "Hike and Bike" and some regular black yoga pants. We ran out the door and down the street to the beach pier.

"So, what's the party for?" I ask. we jog at the same pace.

"Well, since my parents and brothers are in Florida all summer, I thought I might as well have a bonfire." Laura answered as we jogged to the 1 mile long pier.

I notice a boy at the very end with a camera taking pictures of the sunrise over the ocean.

"Oh my god, don't go near him!" Laura whisper-shouted.

"What? why?" I looked at him. he turned around and saw us.

"Oh shit." Laura cursed. and Laura never curses. we started to slow into a walking pace.

"Hey Laura!" He shouted and started walking to us.

"Hey, Beck!" she said in a sarcastic tone.

"So who do we have here?" he said smirking and quirking an eyebrow. he fought up to us. we stopped walking and so did he.

"Um, this is Maria, she's staying at my house for the summer." Laura answered in a stern tone.

"Hello Maria, I'm Beck Forrester." he said smirking. I blushed. He's really hot and he reminds me of something.
Beck is the boy in my dream.
I started shaking really bad. I couldn't take my eyes off of his piercing green ones.

"Uh... um... h-hai." I stuttered. Why do I do this with everyone?

"So, Laura I hear your having a party next week." he raised his eyebrows.

"Ugh, um yeah." Laura said scratching her head. I can tell what she's thinking. why doesn't she like him.

"I'll be sure to be there." he said as he turned to me and smirked.

"I'll be sure to see you too." he said. causing me to shudder.

"Well, we should get going, I have to feed- my- pet- fish! yeah my pet fish!" Laura lied. She has a dog named Bear but I'm guessing he's with the rest of her family.

"Laura, you don't have a fish." Beck stated.

"I- I do! I just got it- uh, last night!" she lied again. too obvious. I'm a good liar but she sucks at lying.

"Ok, have fun feeding your 'Fish'" he quoted "Fish" with his fingers.

Beck took a step closer to me. he was so tall he was a skyscraper compared to me.

"And i will see you later." my cheeks got hot. he winked at me. all I could do is stare at his eyes.

I felt Laura's hand grab my wrist and drag me down the pier.

I turned to Laura. her hand is still dragging me.
Once Beck was far out of earshot, Laura stopped dragging me.

"Ok, Promise me something okay?" She asked me. As I turned my head to see that Beck was back taking pictures of the ocean.

"Umm, what?" I said.

"Never, and I mean NEVER talk to him!" she stated. her eyebrows forrowed together with seriousness.

"Wha-why?" I ask. we started walking again.

"He's Topsail's bad boy. and he's a man-whore." Laura explained. I nodded.

"Just don't talk to him, okay?"

"Okay."
