The second I got out of the car ran to Oli's house. I knock on the door, bouncing in my spot. When he opens the door and jump on him, making us fall to the ground. "Oli!" He laughs and replies, "James!"

Tiana walks into the living room. "I thought I heard you. Hi James." I climb off of Oli and go to Tiana. Giving her a tight hug I look up and smile at her. "Hello Tiana. How are you today?" She chuckles and ruffles my hair. "So polite. I'm doing fine today, thank you, James." I nod and let go of her. "Where's your Mom?" She asks. I point to where my house is and she thanks me before walking out. I hear an "Aurora!" Followed by a cheer of "Tiana!"

Oli grabs my hand and walks us to his room. "Come on! Let's go swimming." He pulls out a pair of trunks for me and one for himself. We quickly change then run to the backyard. "Sunscreen." Oli reminds me. We spray some on then open the door and run down to the beach. The sand is hot. "Ow ow ow." Oli and I yell. When we get to the water it instantly cools down our feet.

Laughing we splash each other with the cold water, but we know not to go too far out.

We play around for a while until I hear my mom call, "James! Oli!" We both sprint out of the water, through the hot sand, up to Oli's backyard, where my mom is standing. "Yes Mom?" I ask, panting a little. She laughs at us. "Mrs. Tiana made lunch, do you want any?" She asks sweetly. We both nod and scamper inside.

*time skip to later that summer*

"I want to go to Disneyland!"

"I want to go to Legoland!"

"No! Disney!"

"Never!"

I glare across the table at Oli. Lowering my voice I say, "Disneyland. Or we're not best friends anymore." A shocked look passes over his face for a second but he regains his composure. Clearing his throat he says, barely above a whisper, "Fine. I guess we're not best friends anymore."

"No!" I shout. I shoot across the table and slide into Oli's lap, wrapping my arms around him. I can feel tears pricking at my eyes. "Oli I was just kidding. Please don't be mad. I still want to be your best friend. We can even go to Legoland. Please? "

Oli kisses the top of my head. "Of course I'm still your best friend James. But you shouldn't joke about gay kinda stuff." He said, frowning. I looked down. "Sorry Oli."

"It's ok Boo." I giggle at the name. "Love you Oli."

"I love you too James."

We ended up going to Legoland which was a lot of fun, not as much as Disney would have been but fun.

But, like it had been for the past few years, after my birthday it was time to go back to New Hampshire.

We don't cry anymore when we're saying goodbye. I'll be back. We do hug for at least 45 minutes though. (My friend and I did this once it was great.)

"I'll see you next summer." Oli says, his chin resting on my head. "I'll miss you." He kisses my hair and hugs me tighter. "I'll be waiting for you to get back."

"James! Come on we have to go!" Dad calls. Oli lets me go. "Bye James."

"Bye Oli."

Sorry this took a while! I wrote a whole chapter then realised I skipped too far ahead and should probably write a middle chapter. Oops.

But that also means the next chapter should be out quicker then this one. 😊

Hope you enjoyed this chapter Loves!
