Red and Blue: A Crankiplier Story

Chapter 25

Ethan's POV

Ethan opened his eyes. The engine had stopped and everyone seemed to be gathering outside. Ethan nudged Mark.
"Wake up." He said.
"I'm up." Mark yawned putting his phone in the seat pocket in front of him.
Ethan got up and got changed before heading outside with everyone else, Mark by his side.
"So, anyone who is uncomfortable with being in the water, stay on the sand. Everyone else, swim around, grab a surf board there is plenty to do for the next three hours." Brian said. "Also, get some sunscreen on." He added.
"Are you okay to wait up for me?" Mark asked.
"Yeah sure." Ethan replied.
Mark smiled. "Thank you."
They waited for the line to go down for the sunscreen and applied some before the group of around thirty walked down the path to the beach. Ethan noticed Mark carrying a surf board. The sun was shining brightly and the water was blue.
"See ya soon." Mark said running into the water.
Ethan waved before plopping himself down on the sand. He watched carefully as Tyler walked into the water and started  swimming. Ethan started to dig. He was going to make a hole to sit in because it was nice and cool underground. He saw a shadow and looked up to Thomas.
"Can I join you?" He asked.
"Sure." Ethan answered.
Thomas kneeled and helped dig for a while before talking.
"You and Mark are close." He said.
Ethan blushed. "Yeah." He answered.
"That's nice, you guys make a good match." Thomas said.
Ethan smiled. "It's as if we were made for each other."
"The world could be a bit gayer." Thomas joked.
"Yeah." Ethan laughed.
The two dug for about twenty minutes (they had made a lot of progress. The hole was wide but not deep enough.) before looking up to see Nate and Mat.
"Want some help?" They asked.
"Help is appreciated." Ethan replied.
The two started digging the actual hole and Ethan dug around the sides. They chatted about school and how much they liked or disliked it.
"I'm in the music program." Nate stated.
"Nice." Thomas replied.
"What can you play?" Ethan asked.
"Acoustic guitar, electric guitar and drums." Nate answered.
"Cool." Said Ethan.
They continued digging until the hole was three metres wide and one metre down. They jumped in and lay down in the cool moist sand.
"That was great." Said Mat.
"It gave us something to do." Said Thomas.
They lay in the hole for a little.
"Hey does anyone feel hot? Wanna go in the water?" Asked Nate.
"Sure." Said Ethan.
"I don't see why not." Thomas shrugged.
Mat rolled his eyes as everyone climbed out of the hole and ran for the water. Mark was catching a wave just as Ethan hit the ocean. The water was cool and clear. It was shallow where he stood so he sat down and let his legs slosh around like a mermaid tail. He didn't let himself go deep after what happened in the lake but he stayed where he could see Mark. He watched as his boyfriend failed again and again but catching a wave every now and again. Her turned around to see Tyler coming at him.
"Hey fag!" Tyler yelled.
Please no! Ethan begged.
The others were swimming around deeper so Ethan couldn't get to them. The instructors were patrolling the deep so no one gets in trouble and there were a couple on the beach. As Tyler approached Mark appeared out of no where and jumped off his board tackling Tyler into the water.
"Don't go near him!" He yelled.
"Okay, okay, leave me alone." Tyler said defeated getting up and walking back onto the sand.
"You okay?" Mark asked shooting Tyler a glare.
"I'm fine, thanks Mark." Ethan said.
"I'm getting tired, I'm gonna head into shore."
Ethan nodded as Mark pulled his surfboard back to him and picked it up. He brung it back to the beach and gestured to the hole. Ethan put the thumbs up and Mark dived in.
"I'm glad this is going well." He sighed to himself flowing in the current.
"Hey, Ethan! Come over here!" Joey and Daniel yelled.
The two boys were having a splash fight along with Dan and Phil.
"Pick a team!" Dan shouted.
Ethan sighed jokingly and joined with Joey and Daniel. He splashed the opposing team with playful fury. They did this for ten minutes before heading to shore and lying where the water couldn't get their heads but soaked their feet.
"Wanna come to the hole?" Ethan asked.
"Sure." Said Dan.
"I'll stay here." Said Phil.
"Join in if you want." Said Ethan joining Dan to walk back to the hole. Mark waved them in and Ethan lay back down, the shade and moisture nice against the hot sun.
"Well done with this hole." Said Mark.
"Thanks." Ethan said.
"We've got an hour left. What do you want to do?" Dan asked.
"I don't know." Ethan answered.
"Well, we'll make something up." Said Mark.
"Okay." Said Ethan.
Mark thought for a bit. "How about finish my sentence."
"Yeah!" Dan and Ethan said.
"Dan you go first."
"Okay. I really like..."
"B h d?" Ethan answered.
"What? Big hairy dicks?" Mark joked.
"No." Ethan laughed. "Big huge diamonds."
"That doesn't make sense and Mark's was funnier." Said Dan.
"True." Ethan shrugged.
The boys spent the rest of the time playing the game. Joey, Phil and Daniel joined in after a while. They got called in, given a slice of cake and told to go to the buses. They unlocked them and Ethan, Mark, Joey, Daniel, Dan and Phil sat on the back seat.
"Good, same bus. My phone's still here." Said Mark.
"Music?" Ethan asked.
"Sure." Mark answered giving him a headphone as the bus started, and they were heading back to camp.
