Shannon couldn't take her eyes off Kailan and his blonde friend and as she watched, the blonde was laughing at whatever Kailan had said and had now placed her hand on Kailan's bare chest. Shannon was not usually a jealous person but watching the pair of them was making her feel sick to her stomach.
"Hey deaf ears" she heard Jamie say as he appeared behind her and tugged on her ponytail "What you looking.........oh" he stopped as he noticed what she was watching.
"Hmmm, yeah" Shannon replied
"I'm sure it's nothing for you to worry about" he assured her "I mean she's doing all the flirting, not him"
"He's not exactly fighting her off though is he" Shannon replied, turning her back on Kailan and the girl to look at Jamie who pulled her into a hug.
"You wanna go?" he asked her and Shannon nodded. Jamie called to the others to tell them they were getting out.
As they got out of the water, Jamie offered to go and grab some drinks and Shannon made her way back along the beach alone.
"Hey English" she heard Maxi shout as he ran from the bottom of the lifeguard stairs towards her. "Glad I've run into you.......whoa, you ok?"
Shannon nodded but kept looking down at the sand as Maxi fell into step with her and they walked together back to where they had left their belongings earlier. Shannon sat on her towel and Maxi sat opposite her. Shannon could feel him looking at her so she looked up at him and gave him a half smile.
"Everything ok?" he asked again
"It sounds so childish and I probably shouldn't talk to you with you being his friend and everything" she babbled.
"But?" Maxi responded with a frown
"There was this girl, blonde, gorgeous, you know" she continued "Well she was all over Kailan and he was kinda flirting back, I think, but I'm not sure coz I couldn't bare to keep watching...." She trailed off.
Maxi's face changed from a frown to a smile and Shannon wondered what part of this he was finding amusing exactly.
"That's Bianca" he said as he looked over to where Kailan was still talking to her.
"I really don't think I want to know her name" snapped Shannon
Maxi's smile disappeared and Shannon felt bad for snapping at him, it wasn't him she was upset with.
"Sorry" she added, quietly "I shouldn't take it out on you"
"No sweat English" he said, smiling again "You have absolutely nothing to worry about there though"
Jamie arrived with some bottles of water and handed one to Shannon as he sat down next to Maxi.
"Alright mate?" he said to Maxi.
"Yeah mate" Maxi replied, taking the bottle of water Jamie was offering him "Just trying to convince Shan that Kailan isn't doing what she thinks he is"
Jamie smiled awkwardly and nodded before he turned to face Shannon who was desperately trying not to cry at this point.
"Do you wanna go home honey?" Jamie asked her, concerned.
Shannon nodded and Jamie handed Shannon her sundress as Rachel, Darren and Tristan arrived back from their swim.
"Me and Shan are gonna head back guys" Jamie told them.
