The Clear Waters

Who are you?

Let me paint a picture for you. Blue crystal clear water surrounded completely by tall cliffs with water lapping the bottoms as they go into the water. Water sloshes onto a white sand beach accompanied by a medium sized hut made of wood planks and a roof made of water tight woven grass and a door of bamboo. We dive off of the cliffs, practicing heavily for the annual end of the year cliff diving contest against the other two cliff diving groups- the Red Waters and the Deep Waters. It's April 7, so we have till October. We have been training super hard.

"Dinner is served!" Layla calls out from the beach. I swim through the water back to the white sand beach just as Joey sits down and begins to eat.

"Great fish!" Joey says looking up at the stars. "That one looks like a star fish if you connect them" Joey points out taking Layla's hand and pointing them out for her. They are so cute. I chew the last bit I my fish and stand up.

"I'm going for one last dive today." I playfully wink at them and run into the water after making sure my black bikini is on securely. I swim to the bottom of the tallest cliff and grasp onto the side and begin to climb up. Placing my hands and feet on the correct ledges. Ascending closer to the top of the cliff. The adrenaline of the thought that if I fall it could be over if I hit a rock makes me keep going in excitement. I reach my hand up one last time, feeling the soft grass in between my fingers. Hauling my self up with my arms I stand up and feel the cold breeze. "Never gets old" I mumble to myself.

"What never gets old? The view of the cliff or you?" A sly manly voice says from behind me before I feel a hand on my shoulder. Oh crap!!! I grab the persons hand and flip them over my shoulder instinctively. I look up when I don't hear a thud.All I see is feet falling past my view bellow into the water. Instinct kicks in and I run to the edge and propel my self off the edge towards the water. Rings in the water symbolize that the person hit the water-the water being crystal clear also allow me to see him begin to sink to the floor. I glide into the water and open my eyes under water and see that the guy hit his head on a rock and was slightly bleeding and out cold. I pull his arm over my shoulder and drag him to shore. Good thing I'm a strong swimmer. After the long swim with this heavy male on my back I pull him onto the shore. "Joey! Layla!!" They both come rushing out of the hut and gasp at what I am doing but quickly help me. We place him onto the white sand that is reflecting the full moons light out into the night sky provide enough light to see the guys face. He was overall extremely handsome. Blonde hair that curled at the ends. Perfect bone structure. He looked to be about Joey's height. His skin was flawless. Coughing interrupted my thoughts, the coughing was coming from him. He coughed up water and sat up quickly.

"Hey aren't you....?"

"The chick you scared half to death... To the point where I threw you over the cliff? Yeah. That's me. Sorry. Are you okay?" I say with a hint of sass in my tone.

"I'm fine. Where am I?" He asks in a alluring husky tone.

"We're the Clear Waters. Your on the Clear Waters' beach" Layla laughs.

"Ouch. My head hurts" he brings his hand to his slightly bleeding head.

"I'll fix that." Joey walks up and bandages his head up. We walk him to the hut and let him lay in my bed and give him water. "What do we do? I don't like him. He can't stay here" Joey hisses quietly.

"Then we just tell him to leave" I tell them. How hard can it be?

"One problem. He's asleep" Layla points behind her shoulder to him asleep in MY bed.

"Dammit" I mumble. "We'll deal with it in the morning" I assure them. "Good night." I tell them and go out side to sleep on the sand.

We can't trust this guy. Can we?

"Harmony. Get the hell up lazy ass" I hear Joeys voice yell at me. I sit up and give him my all famous death glare. "Sorry but he woke up and we figured you wanted to talk to the dude" I nod and stand up brushing the sand of of my jean shorts and tank top(that are over my bathing suit). Walking over towards the hut I notice that the guy is sitting in MY chair. Wtf? First my bed now my chair. Hell no. I stopped in front of him, crossing my arms and looking down at the sitting teen.

"May I help you gorgeous?" He winks and places a hand on my thigh. I brush his hand off and grab his arm and yank him out of my seat onto the floor before taking a seat. "Wow. Some one is aggressive." He chuckles.

"That's her seat silly" Layla laughs sitting in her own. Joey sits in his so the dude just sits on the sand.

"You need to leave" Joey tells him.

"No. I want to be in the Clear Waters. I want to dive" he says.

"Who are you?" Layla asks him.

"Name is Max"

"Okay MAX. To join us we need to trust you. Considering we don't trust you, your out of luck." I laugh at him and stand up.

"Wait. Can I speak to you real quick" Layla says before pulling me away. "Think about it H. He can take trips to town and buy us for real food and things we need. No offense but you need new clothes. Along with me and Joey. He can get us common things that we don't have. He can be like an errand boy. Then after a month we can 'consider' it" she smirks at her little plan. I nod in agreement. These shorts are a little to tight. We walk back and stand with our hip popped out to the side and or arms crossed.

I sigh "Okay. Here's the deal Max. You can stay. But for the next month you will be running errands for us. Buying things that we need and then, only then,will we decide if we trust you" I smirk. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy to say yes. He seems.... I don't know...... More bad?

"Well I do need a place to stay so why not" he chuckles before running off into the water and swimming towards a cliff.

"Shit" I mumble, "what have we gotten into?"
