Beneath The Surface

Chapter 6

Connor and I went to bed mad at eachother.

I don't know why he was acting up like this, but it's stupid.

Today is our last day here and I wanted to make the most of it.
Mom decided that it would be a good idea for us to have lunch today.

So I wore a pink sun dress with sandals, it isn't really cold here so my outfit was fine.

"Okay everyone, we're going to the beach!" Mom said.

I have mixed feelings about the beach, all the sand that gets stuck to everything and finding it in random places at random times.

And having to shave everything, it's a lot of work.

I borrowed a bikini from my mom since I didn't bring any. I wore a transparent dress over it and packed my beach bag.

We walked to the beach since it wasn't far away. Thankfully it's a private beach so other people weren't gonna be there.

When we got there I sat down near the rocks. I set up my chair and got a book out.

"We came to the beach and you're reading? Seriously?" Noah said.

"Yeah, I'm not planning on getting wet Noah,"

He walked away and I took my sunglasses off, because I know he's planning something.

"I'm sorry," I heard someone say. I looked up and it was Connor.

I continued reading my book and didn't look at him once.

"Sorry for what?"

"For speaking to you the way I did,"

I kept ignoring him and he sat across from me.

"Look, I'm really sorry Mae. I kind of got jealous last night. It won't happen again, I promise,"

"It's okay, I forgive you," I smiled and pretended to pull him in for a hug.

When he came closer I pinched him in his stomach as hard as I could.

"You better not"

"Mae stop!"

We sat down together and admired the view.

"We should come back here. Just the two of us,"

"Yeah," the bartender came up to us for our drink orders.

"What can I get started for you guys?"

"I'll have a Mimosa, but with mango juice instead," I handed her the menu back.

"I'll just have a water," Connor said.

"Are you sure? We have a lot of things on the menu. We have food too,"

"No, just water," she walked back to the kitchen to get our drinks.

"I'm going to the bathroom," He walked up and I continued reading my book.

"Nope, Mae come on you cant just sit here all day," Noah said while holding something.

"Yes I can, and I will- Noah!" I yelled at him as he carried me towards the water.

Before I said anything he threw me in.

I pushed my head out and gasped for air.

"Noah, you are so annoying!" I swept my hair back and walked out the water.

I squeeze out the water from my hair and wiped my eyes.

"You look..." Callum said.

"I look what?"
