Life as Normal People

Beaches and Bathrooms

Terra's POV (I may or may not have lied)

I walked to my house and threw myself on the couch and put on my headphones and did my homework in my white bathrobe after taking a shower. When I finished my homework I removed my headphones and ate some pepperoni pizza I ordered when I came back from school. This was the life! Eating pizza, in my bathrobe, after taking a nice, cold shower after a hot PE class. Yep. Definitely my style of life.

Then again I was a twig. And flat. Which was okay! Since I wasn't allowed to fall in love with anyone anyways. "Hey Terra. Being flat is fine," I smirked and continued to take bites off my pizza. But then I was jealous of that girl Koriand'R. She had such big you-know-whats while I was just flat. Seriously Terra, you have to stop saying that word. And now, Terra Markov, you were talking to yourself.

But in my thoughts and pizza, which was heavenly, I have to go back to reality where someone knocked on my door. And I was still in my bathrobe. But if I take too long to change them they'll go away and I may never know who it was. "WHO IS IT?!" I yelled and the person replied. "Garth. Can I come in?" Garth asked and I shook my head. "NOPE! J-JUST WAIT A SEC!" I said and raced to my room to put on a pair of yellow shorts and a tight black shirt that had a T on it with sleeves though it showed my stomach a bit. I opened the door and my eyes widened. He was wearing swimming shorts. With his shirt. Off.

"Fish Boy...Swimming with the fishes again?" I raised one eyebrow and Garth yelped a bit and covered himself in a towel. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "Your not a twig, you know. Jeez your so conscious. I should be the one covering myself with a towel," I said and crossed my arms and smirked. "Why? Did you WANT to see my awesome six-pack?" Garth smirked and I felt my face grow red. "N-no! Jeez your such an idiot Garth!" I said and covered my eyes but I guess my curiosity made me open my eyes slightly to peek a little. Yep. He did it. And I hate him for that.

"GAAAH!!! YOUR PALE AF!!!!" I screamed and lied. I opened my eyes and removed my hands from my face. Ugh. This was going to get some getting used to if I have to support the swim team at the swim meets. I really didn't. But Garth forced me too. "HAPPY SMEXY WEDNESDAY!!!" Garth grinned like an idiot and I rolled my eyes and sat on the couch. "It's Tuesday stupid..." I said and Garth's smile faded.

"Look I came here because I need to go to Roy's party he's throwing-" I cut him off. "Woah. Slow down Fish Boy. You don't go to a party shirtless," I said and took a bite out of my pizza. "Silly Terra," Garth said and patted my head like a grown-up would do to a little kid. I clenched my hands into fists. "It's a beach party. But you need to bring a date to get in. Roy said that you have to because his party is the opposite of what school is. No uniforms. And you can fall in love," Garth said and I watched as he showed a faint pink on his cheeks and I was red again.

"G-Garth your only a friend," I said and I was still red. Garth shook his head rapidly. "That's not what I meant! I mean, Roy's party seems like fun. And he's one of my friends. I guess I should support him, right?" Garth asked and I nodded. So I got into my room and locked the door and changed into a rash guard and shorts. I went out of the closet and smirked. "What?" I asked and Garth groaned. "Your not a guy for God's sake. Something more GIRLY please," Garth said and I complained going back to my room and locked he door and looked for something in my closet. Well, all I had was a yellow bikini with white polka dots. I sighed and changed into it then wrapped a beach towel over me.

So I went outside and Garth put a thumbs up trying to be a supportive friend. Well obviously it wasn't working. "Take the stupid towel off. Besides. You were checking me out too, right?" Garth winked teasing and I smacked him on his arm. "Idiot! Fine. I'll take the towel off," I said and inhaled sharply closing my eyes and dropped the beach towel to the floor. When I opened my eyes, I saw blood splatters all over Garth's swimming shorts and him covering his mouth with blood dripping from his hand. Wait...a nosebleed? "GARTH!!!!" I yelled at him and slapped him on the face.
