A shade of Blue

Chapter 2

What do I say?! " Uh-yeah, cool." that's what I came up with? That's so embarrassing. He shyly asked " How old are you?" i replied "sixteen" I found some confidence deep down in there and smiled back at him confidently, even though I probably look like crap... I don't feel like doing my hair or putting on makeup for school, or finding a decent outfit... There goes my confidence. My eyes trailed down his body and I realized he has a full on 6 pack, those-those are the BEST. He laughed, " My eyes are up here Alice" my cheeks flamed when he said that. He just so...so. I awkwardly replied " Uhm-yeah..." I was staring at the ground trying not to look him in the eyes. I turned towards the ocean and turned back and he was gone. Where could he have been? Did I scare him off... I scared him off!! That's so embarrassing... I yell whispered. "Austin!" I sat onto the sand in defeat thinking out loud, " Crap, I scared him off, the only guy that paid the slightest attention to me..." Then I heard him say ( kind of flabbergasted) " Guys don't pay attention, to you at school?" I shrugged my shoulders, kind of embarrassed that nobody likes me, " Well, I'm not very attractive, social, or have a good body. And that's sort of what it takes have attention, and anyways I don't like attention to myself." why am I telling him this? I just met the guy, I don't even know his last name! I stood there frozen, thinking any moment he's going to take a run for it. He sounded a little mad and questioned " Bu-how?, your so, so" he looked up at me realizing I was lost, and his cheeks turned pink, he just realized what he had said. Well what he almost said. " What exactly am i?" I asked completely confused. he shouted " PERFECT!!" I jumped back at his outburst and then shrugged it off my shoulders. I scoffed " Definitely not, not in a million years." I turned away from him and walked the opposite direction of him. he ran up to me again, but I didn't make it that far. he grabbed my shoulders looking deep into my eyes and asked " You are perfect, how do you not see that?" I felt queasy, and butterflies. Nobody has ever said that to me. I told him, " if I was "perfect" then don't you think any guys would have told me? Or any girls, or even my family for goodness sake, I am no where near to perfection...Now I'll see you later Austin" I smiled back at him before walking down the beach taking my clothes off, adjusting my bathing suit and walking into the crystal clear ocean. I was floating on my back when I saw a dark hole on the ocean floor, I swam down observing it, the ocean water was burning the crap out of my eyes but I didn't care. I swam up took a breathe and then swam Into the hole. Once I was in the water sucked me down like a water slide, then it pushed me into a little cave, I walked around and heard talking, who in the world would be down here? I walked further and found a small pool. I jumped in because for some reason, it looked cozy? I don't know. As soon as I jumped the water started to bubble, I tried pulling myself out but it wouldn't let me.Like a mouse trap. Once you get in you cannot get out. Then I got tired, I looked around hoping somebody would help me out before I drown, then saw Austin I called tiredly " Austin help me outttt" then I fell asleep. I woke up alarmed that I drown and jumped up, Austin had been watching me sleep, a little creepy, but it felt comforting. I asked " What happened to me?" he smiled, I'll show you.
