The Things We Said (Bajan Canadian Fan Fiction)

Chapter 7

"I wanna collect some shells before we leave." I said while looking out on the water.

It was calm now, quieting down, most people had left already. Except the people more down along the beach who were partying. The sun was starting to set slowly. The sky turning a beautiful pinky orange.

The reason I wanted to go collect some shells, is that when I was younger, my family was all together still, and we used to come to the beach, my mother and I would walk along the tide, collecting the most beautiful ones. I have a whole collection at home.

"Okay, but I would go like now. Cause I wanna go home soon." Mat said. I rolled my eyes. I got up slipping my sandals on,cans started walking. Sand flicking back onto my leg as I walked. As soon as I got along the tide, one caught my eye. It was a snowy white, and had little sparkles all over. I picked it up and looked at it.

"Found shell already?" A voice asked. I turned around and saw Mitch standing there.

"Yeah, it's really nice." I held it up for him to look at. "Yeah it is.. Hey, mind if I walk with you?" "Yeah sure, I'd love the company." I said, a smile coming across my face. He smiled back. We started walking, it was silence for a while, while our eyes scanned the beach ground.

"So um, why do you collect shells?" He asked. I stopped and bent down to pick up another shell. "Well, when I was younger, and used to come the beach with my family and stuff, before they got their jobs. Before we left, my mom and I would always go and collect some. I don't know, it's just kinda turned into something we always did. And I don't want to stop so." I trailed off at the end.

"Oh yeah, that's cool." It was silence for a second. "You know, me and my brother Connor, when we went to the lake house, well when we first got it, we used to scale the shore for cool shells and stuff too. But it got boring after awhile." "Oh, cool" was my only response.

After awhile of walking, we decided to turn back around and go help pack. Considering I had like 10 shells already. We joked and laughed on the way back. We were almost back to our set up, when Mitch stopped walking and looked out at the sunset.

"It's really beautiful, isn't it." I said, more of a statement then a question. "Yeah it is..." He said, the mumbled something after it. "What's that?" "Oh nothing... Hey, Krista?" He said. "Yeah?" "I had a lot of fun today." "Oh yeah, me too. Today was a blast, I love hanging out with you guys!" I said laughing and smiling. "Yeah but-" "Hey guy! Come help pack up!" Mat yelled. We looked over, I said okay. We started walking back.

"So what were you saying?" I asked him, looking over. "Oh, never mind it was nothing" he said, and walked a little faster and helped the guys clean up. I just nodded. I helped pack up too. Once we were done we got into the jeep, and started driving home. Mat and Mitch were in the front, laughing about a dumb joke Jerome said. I looked out the window, staring into the sunset, wondering about what Mitch was going to say...
