A/N: you're Sarah's twin and enemies with JJ.

*JJ's Pov*

I've been spending the past three days hanging around John B's place while he's at school. I'm almost halfway through my suspension, and I still haven't confessed my feelings for Yn.

I definitely want to tell her how I feel, I just don't know how. As much as I claim to hate the girl, I know a lot about her. I may have asked Kie about her a couple of times before. But obviously, I would never admit that to her.

I'm currently pacing John B's porch, throwing my hacky-sack into the air before catching it. I repeat the action over and over as my mind swirls with thoughts.

All of them being about Yn.

I know that Yn isn't the type to like pda, so I definitely shouldn't, like, give her a note in public. But I also know that Yn loves surfing, so maybe I can ask her to go surfing with me.

I flop onto the couch behind me, letting out a huff of frustration. I'm nervous that Yn will decline my request to go surfing, and then I'll never be able to tell her how I feel.

I wonder if I should even tell Yn at all. To be honest, she probably doesn't feel the same way. She has made it clear that she hates my guts time and time again.

Well,  I haven't been the nicest, either, so I actually shouldn't say much. I've definitely done my fair share of teasing and cruelness.

Gee, I need to stop questioning stuff so much.

*Time Skip*

Surprisingly, Yn said accepted the surfing invite. Although it took me five days to think about it, I finally worked up the courage to ask when Kie brought Yn over to the chateau last night.

We are currently bobbing up and down on the smooth waves, the sun shining down onto my body warmly.

The air feels nice and Yn looks nice. She's to my right, a light yellow bikini cladding her body. I've always found Yn gorgeous, it only took me about eleven years to realize.

Yn's voice snaps me out of my trance. "So, how's you 'break' been?" She snickers, gazing out at the sea ahead.

I shrug, allowing my lips to dip briefly. "It's been fine." I answer, trying to keep my tone nonchalant.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I mean, I definitely expected to be famous around the island, you know, given the fact that I messed Craig's face up." I crack a joke, smirking as a picture of Craig's terrified face pops into my mind. "But, I guess my fame will come with time." I finish, sighing dramatically.

The girl next to me stifles an amused laugh. "Yeah, well, wasn't Craig's face already messed up, anyway?" She adds onto the joke, her tone softer than usual.

Normally, whenever we talk to one another, our tones are both harsh and filled with annoyance. However, today is different, I guess.

I laugh at Yn's quick response. "True,"

The short conversation soon dies down, leaving a peaceful silence. One thing about me and Yn is that whenever we're near each other, we never shut up. We're always shooting insults at one another, or complaining about the other's existence.

Now, it's not like that.

The silence is cut off by Yn clearing her throat. "Hey, JJ." She murmurs.

"Hey, Yn." I glance over at her.

She locks eyes with me, tucking a strand of hair behind her hair. She always does that. "Why did you bring me out here?" She questions, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Um," I look down, wondering if I should lie. This is my chance, I can't lie. "I need to tell you something." I look up at her.

Her brows snap together, her head shaking in confusion. "What? What do you need to ask me?"

I scratch my eyebrow nervously as I look anywhere but into her eyes. "I like you." I muster out my confession after what feels like ages.

As my eyes finally meet Yn's, silence having had riddled me with fear, I realize she's smiling. I didn't expect that. I expected her to reject me and paddle away gracefully.

"I like you, JJ." She admits, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "I always have, I just was too afraid to admit it."

I laugh, nodding in agreement. "Same,"

It goes silent once again, but this time, Yn is staring at me, her legs still dipped into the ocean beneath us. "You have two choices, JJ. Either you surf with me and stop staring at me like a creep, or I make you and Craig go a round two." Her words make me crack a smile.

"You forgot option three." I slowly paddle my way closer to her, my voice lowering.

"What?"

I smirk as I turn her board to face mine. "Option three is the kissing option." I point out before leaning in and kissing Yn passionately.

She kisses back, and it feels like everything around me just came to a pause. Nothing matters except Yn, and that's how it'll always be.
