Fae:
I was ready. I had on my running shoes, a pair of shorts and a pink sports bra. I flicked on the TV and watched the news for a while, just waiting for Declan to call me. I saw this commercial about Celine Dion’s new concert in Las Vegas and felt myself smiling. Man did I wish I could meet her... I watched as clips of her best and worst moments flashed across the screen. I looked at the clock. It was already 2:00. Did he forget? I thought, already making my way downstairs to change. My phone started ringing when I reached the door to my room. I picked it up and smiled.
“Hello?” I answered, making my way upstairs.
“Hey! Fea, it’s me, Declan. Are you ready to go now?” I laughed
“I was just waiting for you to call! I’ll meet you at the volleyball court #3, ok?”
“yep, I’ll see you then!” He hung up and I put the phone and the kitchen table.
“I’m going for a run, okay?” I said as I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.
“Okay” Tara said, still reading her newspaper.

“It’s about time!” I said as I saw Declan walking towards me. He laughed.
“Sorry, I live pretty far from here compared to you” I cocked my head to the side.
“How do you know where I live?” He winked
“I don’t, I just guessed you live closer.” I laughed
“Good guess.” I attached my water bottle to my short and stretched.
“So, you ready to go?” I said, looking at him while stretching my legs. He nodded
“I was born ready”
“Okay then, let’s go!” I grabbed his arm and started running on the beach. We were silent for a while, just enjoying each other’s company. The soft sand made my feet sink a little with each step I took, and the sun was warming the skin on my shoulders and back. I had one earphone in my ear, listening to Celine Dion songs, the other dangling on my side.
“I take it you took a shower” Declan said, smelling loudly. I shook my head.
“Yeah, I did.” He smiled.
“Good, because when we finish running, I was planning on grabbing a bite. What do you think?” He was looking in front of him, not daring to look at me. I nodded
“sure, that sounds good”
Declan:
We had been running for 30 minutes already. I looked at Fae and saw she wasn’t even tired yet.
“Do you want to go eat now?” I finally asked, feeling like my legs were going to fail me soon.
“let’s stop under the pier, it’s not far from here, about 2 minutes if we run a bit faster” I nodded.
“sure, the restaurant is in front of the pier anyways” We picked up the pace a little and headed straight ahead. I saw the pier and smiled.
“I’ll race you there!” I said as I started sprinting towards the pier.
“Oh no, you won’t!” She said, running after me. We arrived under the pier at the same time, and I threw myself on the soft cool sand. She sat down beside me, catching her breath.
“well, that was a nice run” She said, laying down, her head beside mine. I smiled and turned to face her.
“Yeah, it was a good run” She stood up and dusted to sand off her spandex’s.
“I’m hungry, where did you want to take me?” I looked at my watch, It was already 3:30.
“Maybe we should go rinse ourselves off at the public showers before we go.” She laughed but nodded. She helped me up and we walked towards the showers. I followed her until the shower doors then let go of her hand and headed into the men showers while she made her way into the lady's.
