I had awoken as soon as dawn to get a head start to take a stroll near the beach shore, and on my way something had caught my eye it was dipping itself into the water. I walked closer to see it was Ao'nung, he looked so tense and his hair was down and my I didn't think it was that long almost my length but longer. He caught me staring and raised his eye brow at me in confusion "The waters colder before everyone wakes up" Ao'nung said turning around still rinsing his hair, I walked up to him and stood there by the sand "Thats a weird assumption but, Why not do your hair by your home?" I questioned, he responded with "I take a while to get my hair done at home since I can't wake anyone up, like right now I still can't get all my hair wet." We made eye contact, both of our faces looked determined and firm. I walked in and said "I can help I get the struggle. " chuckling a bit, He looked at me and his gaze loosened a bit and just chuckled softly and turned around so I could help with his hair. His hair is so soft and silky through my fingers, and when he said his hair I think he meant his scalp so I went in front of him and lowered his head, he rested his hands on his knees and I did my work in his hair. "Alright." I sighed under my voice, Ao'nungs hair just dropped on his face and he looked ridiculous I moved it behind him, I laughed at him and his face was just so weird to look at, "There is no flippin ways you can't even tie your own hair." "Who the hell do you think does Tsireya's hair?" he responded with, " Well I don't know you seem like the type to rinse your hair and call it a day." I chuckled saying with my arms crossed and back leaned backward and he just rolled his eyes, and he just left signing a thumbs up while walking away and I went back home.

Neteyam had done my hair nicely, all my hair was tied up neatly and some braids that were a mess he had redone. I felt nice, but obviously not gonna let him win my trust so easily his family is still full of half-breeds after all, which reminds me were having a feast today and I'm guessing training will be stopped just 2 hours before eclipse to help prep, so before dawn hit i went back home and got back into bed

Me and tsireya both got up same time and shared our schedule, well she js told me what she was gonna do and I told her me and Roxto are gonna meet up chill with each other then probably find the other guys doing stupid shit, "Why do you still hang out with them?" Tsireya asked, "Idk I guess its to fall in and not stand out." I said "Ao'nung your not yourself around the-" she tried tallking but i cut her off saying "Tsireya lets not talk about that right now and focus on just focus on the sully's", she looked at me raising an eye browing sighing with a smirk as if she was saying 'I'm not serious', I chuckled a bit and said smiling "You can't give me that look", "Don't think your off the hook you are gonna talk, and soon I'll make sure of it" we said bye to our parents and set off, "Okay stay out of trouble, I'll be back soon meet up at the rock by the tree's over there, I'm going to the sully's come soon" Tsireya said, "Yea okay okay I'll see you bye" and after that I kissed her on the forehead and told her she should have fun. I found Roxto, unfortunately by the Sully's which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. "Ao'nung!Hey! were over here!" Tu'xru shouted from a party of tide pools where they all sat on rocks throwing stones around "I'm so bored" Ya'anru whined "Sooo who are you guys going out with?" he said and I asked, "Wait what your supposed to have a date?" and everyone nodded. "Why though?" I asked, Tu'xru replied with "Theres probably gonna be a dance where you need a partner and someone leads, you know" and one of the other guys responed "YEA! Imma lead her to bed!" and trying to flex his muscles off "The hell" I said giggling and other s laughing some joined him. After a while we all decided to go eat lunch, and as I was about to stand up and suggest what we should eat, they already left and no one waited for me... I just stood there, disappointed. I took another route to go get food and on the way Tsireya found me, Thank Eywa I felt so down I wanted to just start venting to her but then I saw Lo'ak and his siblings. She ran to me and I gave her a hug she offered for me to come join them go to our sacred place after Lunch and of course I had no other choice but to say yes which I obviously was gonna choose. All the younger ones including Tsireya, Lo'ak and Kiri were walking way ahead of me... and Neteyam, for some reason once I joined them He became tense as if its like a battle to determine the 'Strongest' which was obviously me, argue all you want it is for a fact. Tsireya was holding Lo'aks hand and once I noticed Neteyam chuckled "What?" I asked, and he smiled a bit looking at me "Your so protective of your sister I get it" he said, "Yea but I can imagine how much worse it is for you, 3 siblings is alot hey" I smirked, and He said "Tell me about it" in a low tone and then I noticed Roxto's arms around Kiri's shoulder and I whistled yelling "OoOoO LALALA" Neteyam laughed crazy at it and Roxto turned around throwing a rock at me which missed, Tsireya looked embarrassed , Lo'ak was still holding her hand until I dead eyed him and he let go but she still held him, me and Neteyam sped up and walked past everyone cause we were getting impatient and Neteyam said to Roxto "Watch it." and we were still chuckling and giggling about it, and we found out that we related alot and not just being the 'Oldest Sibling' and quickly the conversation jumped from younger siblings to being pressured about being Olo'ekytan and finding a mate and Neteyam said "Like hell I'd rather date a guy at this point cause its either I'm friends with the girl or we just don't like our vibes, or I don't like them or their already secretly wit another girl or guy" and I chuckled at him replying "True that same story here." and then he asked "So you would be with a guy?" I looked at him in confusion and he looked back blankly and sighed a bit "I'm asking cause I've seen and heard the comments your friends have made about others especially my family, and I don't appreciate it If you actually took a moment to get what we are going through into your rock hard head then you would understand" ...Silence over-took the convo cause really I had nothing to say I mean I don't completely hate or like them but I do feel ashamed. "Well let me make it up to you then." I said smirking.
