Hard To Be Me (SCRAP)

Chapter Twenty. The Beach

         
                  💗Corinne POV💗

I stared at the mirror. Jacob went to his friend house to party or something, I didn't care. I fell into my bed. My mom is working late.

RING RING RING

I sighed. I grabbed my phone and clicked answer "Who is this and what the hell do you want?"

"Yikes. No need to be harsh on me now. It's me! Your bestie" A girl giggled

"Lina? Oh sorry.. What do you need?"

"I want to invite you to the beach! Caleb, Katelyn, is coming so am I. Are you in or what?"

I thought for a while. I haven't been to the beach since I was 6. "Sure"

"Good! I'm gonna pick you up in an hour!" Before I could answer she hanged up. I ran a hand through my hair, I grabbed a picture frame. There was two girls, the girl on the left put her arm around the girl on the right. They both were smiling happily, making goofy faces. A tear fell down my cheek, I wiped it away. The girl on the right was me. The girl on the left had brown straight hair and hazel eyes with freckles. Her name was Celina.

I put the picture frame by my bed. Celina was my sister.

Keyword: Was

She died.. Because of me. I blamed it on me, it was my fault. Another reason why my dad left us. I felt guilty for three years. She died on her birthday. Celina was an amazing and funny sister, She was gonna turn 14 and I was 13. Celina was one year older than me.

I shook my head, clearing the thoughts. I walked to the bathroom and strip off my clothes, I put on a hot pink bikini top and a striped bottom. Over the hot pink bikini I wore an white tank top, I tied it to the left. I also put on blue shorts. I slide on a green sandal.
I grabbed a blue towel and put it around my neck.

Beep Beep!

I look out the window and saw Lina in the driver seat, I look at the gray truck she had.

Niceeee..

I hop down the stairs and ran to Lina's truck. I sat in the passenger seat,

"Time to go to the beach!" I yelled happily

"WHOOO!" Lina giggled. We drove to the beach.

~*~

We left the car and I step into the soft hot sand. "Ahh.. This feels like heaven.." Lina nods. I look around and saw Katelyn hugging Caleb's arm.

Gag worthy.

I walk up to the smoothie stand, which was where Katelyn and Caleb at, but I ignored them. "Can I have a strawberry smoothie?" I asked the guy across the counter "Yes ma'am, that would be 2.47 please." I glance at the guy, I chuckled a bit, he was busying cleaning a cup.
I grabbed my bag, I felt someone pulling my bag away. "What the-" I stare at Caleb in confusion.

"Lemme pay for that" He offers

"Whatever.." I sigh. I'm gonna have fun with no problems. Once I got my smoothie, I walked towards Lina, who was sitting on a towel with a umbrella over her. Besides her was a cooler. I put my smoothie on top of the cooler and put my towel above the sand and laid on the towel. I glance at Lina. She was wearing earphones and was listening to.. Send My Love by Adele. I gotta be honest that song is actually catchy and amazing. I grabbed my smoothie and took a sip. I glance around and saw Caleb swimming with Katelyn.. Caleb didn't look like he was actually having that much fun. Whatever why should I care?

Because you like him. Don't you wish you were Katelyn?

No I don't. I don't even like Caleb for that fact. Plus he already has a girlfriend.

Do you actually believe he truly likes Katelyn? Wow. I thought it was pretty obvious he liked you. Unless your suggesting he played you and kissed you for some stupid bet.

... That seem to make sense

I took a long sip from my smoothie.

Slurp

I don't like Caleb.

Gulp

He's with Katelyn

Sigh

Their both happy.

                   🕶Caleb POV🕶

I smiled at Katelyn. She was really happy.

"Caleb! Wanna see who could go underwater the longest?" Katelyn smiled, I nod.

I must be a stupid boyfriend. My mind is saying that I should be with Katelyn but my heart is saying I shouldn't. It felt wrong. I also felt guilty. Katelyn glance at me and her smile faded away

"Huh? Why aren't you smiling? Now I feel sad" I chuckled slightly

"N-Nevermind.." Katelyn shook her head and started swimming towards the beach. I stood besides her "What's wrong Katelyn?"

"N-Nothing ... Nothing is wrong" 

"Don't lie to me.. I like you. You know that." I kissed her soft cheek. Katelyn sighed and turned to me "Like me? You like me?" I slowly nodded. "Nevermind. Heh.. It's too soon." Katelyn kept shaking her head. I sigh and hugged her. Behind her I saw Corinne. I smiled, She looked deep into thoughts while drinking her strawberry smoothie. On her right Lina was listening to something.. Maybe tanning as well. Katelyn let go of me and I did the same. Katelyn smiled "I like you too" I pulled her into a kiss.

No sparks.

It didn't felt right. When I kissed Corinne there was sparks and my body felt like fireworks exploding. But with Katelyn it doesn't feel .. Correct?
Ugh.. Thanks to Corinne, I lost my bad boy side. I swear to god she will be the death of me. Katelyn and I pulled away, She smiled and I force a smile. I want Katelyn to be happy..

But have you ever thought if it would make you happy?

No.. But f I break up with her, she would be sad and heart broken.

Selfishness is all I'm seeing. Your basically cheating on her.

I won't believe that. I will continue to date Katelyn.. Until I know for sure.. Know things for sure.

"I'm gonna go do something. Brb!" Katelyn giggled and walked away. I stared at Corinne for a while, She caught my eyes. Her eyes widen and she looked away quickly. Her cheeks turned light pink. I smirked.

Being with Corinne Ashley Maddison Sharp feels right.
