Girls like me *Completed*

Chapter 33

Sky-

It's been a full day of still awkwardness. Nobody has spoken a word except to request something of me. But I have taken this opportunity of silence to think about Mara. I don't trust her. How could I trust her! What if something terrible happened to July! Alice and Jasper are the only ones socializing. It hurts just a little to see Alice like this, she's never been interested in guys. It's like this whole journey...is making her..

"Sky! " Simons voice interrupted my thoughts. I whipped my head around and watched as Simon ran towards me, the yellow sand flying up from the earth as he sped closer. I stood up and eyed him oddly.

"Mara's gone.....she.." He took a couple seconds to catch his breath, "She left to go find July....She...wants to gain back your trust."

"You can tell her I'll never trust her again " I shook my head.

Simon looked at me oddly, "Well...she's gone..so....I can't tell her that..."

"Oh..yeah, " I felt my cheeks grow hot. What was wrong with me.

"Hey, " Simon sat down on the sand beside me and I felt my cheeks get hotter by the second.

"Hey... " I dared not look at him, What if he saw my tomato face!

"You know....Even though I lied to you your whole life on two things.. You still trust me, right?" He said softly.

"What two things?" I asked, but then quickly regretted it, because I think I already knew.

"Well, the first one is... not telling you about your real life," He smirked and a small blush tinted his cheeks.

"Hey..that wasn't your fault," I nudged him playfully.

"And...for not telling you sooner that I liked you " He became serious and I could almost see tears in his eyes. I took a deep breath.

"I haven't really gotten the chance to talk to you about this yet... but...I think I have always liked you too. I just didn't want to admit it because I was jealous of July and Alice. They never thought of boys or anything! And they were so happy...but, now that I see Alice with jasper...I think...maybe it's time to grow up a little," I looked up at Simon and stopped his words with a kiss. A kiss that was small and not very romantic, owing to the fact I was not a very good kisser, but something I knew had to happen. Something I wanted to happen. And after that one kiss, the Beach became silent again and I felt like the silence wasn't scary any more....it brought hope. And I know, somewhere.... somehow, July will grow up just like me and Alice. But it's okay. It's not as bad as it seems. I know we'll find July. And maybe, just maybe, I'll forgive Mara.
