Love that kills her.

Chapter 9

Isaac's P.O.V

What is wrong with Lena?! Am i not good enough? What does Xander have that i dont? I thought she liked me.

Well, at least shes happy...for now. I think i need distraction. Yeah, i'll just date Sasha for awhile. I dont even care anymore...

"Isaac, what are you thinking of?"

Sasha. She ditched class because of me? Stupid. I dont like girls who'd rather fail in school to have a boyfriend.

"Um...Sasha. Do you like me?"

Its sudden but, its either you accept it or not right?

She looked down, "Well, y-yeah?"

"Let's date."

She looked at me, "W-what?"

I looked at her straight in the eye, "I said let's date."

Her expression turned from shock to disgust.

"Well, im sorry but im not a pick-up bitch! I have my pride as well, you know?"

"I thought you like me?"

I thought she would accept it.

She crossed her arms, "Please think about what you said. Im not that desperate. Im not someone you can just pick up when you're sad. I know that you are broken hearted because of Lena. But it doesnt mean that i will be able to cover that hole in your heart. Please, dont look so pitiful. You better think about what you want. I'll be here for you. For real. Not someone you can just use. Im not that dumb."

She said that in my face and left. I was dumbfounded. What? I slowly absorbed her words. Maybe shes right. I went to have my classes. I was positive that my feelings are too confused now. Sasha's right.

Lena's P.O.V

Finally!!! We escaped from that ride! I sprinted off as Xander told me that we are going off this stop.

"Hey!" He jogged to catch up with me.

We walked side by side. I couldnt even look at him.

"Do you hear how fast my heart is beating? Its beating like this because of you."

That sentence kept repeating in my head. I told you i cant handle couple-y things.

We stopped at a station that looks completely different compares to the busy city life.

Xander lead me to the beach which was right infront of the station. Its beautiful. It was a school day do there was no one there.

The sand was sparkling, the ocean water was twinkling like there was fairy dust all over it. I know, i have the best descriptions of life.

I dropped my bag on the bench at the corner of the beach. I took off my shoes and slowly dipped my foot into the water.

The water was just fine. Not too warm, not too cool. He remembered my words. I've ever told my friends that i want my first date to be at the beach.

I heard a voice behind me. Then, he wrapped his arms around my waist. My heart was going to die. I held onto his hands and we walked on the beach. Just like how i said i wanted my first date.

"How is it?"

"This is amazing. Its beautiful."

We continued to walk on the beach in total silence. We just plainly enjoyed each other's accompany and the beach. Im loving life. Im falling more in love with Xander.

Suddenly, i was lifted up by Xander. I mean, i was shocked. By the fact that he was able to lift me up.

"Stop! Xan!! Im scared of heights! Put me down now!!"

Guess what he did? Yeah, he ran into the ocean, while holding me. AND HE JUST THREW ME INTO THE WATER!

"Yah!" My inner korean wannabe came out.

He just laughed. Ha. Ha. Ha. Not funny. I gulped a couple mouths of salt water, but im fine. I know how to swim.

I wiped my eyes and gained my balance, despite the fact that my clothes are soaked! Nevermind, i have spare clothes. Like, always.

But does Xander? I guess. Since he was the one who planned this. So, its okay if i push him into the water right? I assume its a yes.

I was trying to run to Xander. He had a slight slow reaction and ran away from me.

"Oh no! You are not running away from me!"

I caught him and pushed him into the water, hard. I laughed hard. His reaction was too funny to not laugh at.

Suddenly, he became quiet and stood up. I stopped laughing and looked at him. He moved towards me without saying a word.

Is he angry? Oh no, i shouldnt have laughed so loud. Is he embarresed? I feel so guilty. He was just standing closely infront of me, not talking.

"Xander? Im so sorry. I just-"

I was interupted by soft lips. My first kiss. It was what i always wanted. To have my first kiss at the beach. It was gentle yet so passionate.

We parted and i looked down. Of course, im embarresed. But thankful. He looked at me and stroked my hair.

"Lena, i...love you."

I looked at him, "Xan, i love you too."

We held hands and just walked on the beach. At about 6 in the evening, we changed into dry clothes and he sent me home.

My first date was perfect. It was because it was with Xander. I'm falling for him even more. I love this guy so much. I've never felt this way before.
