The Fan (Fillie) //COMPLETED//

One Swim To Happiness

Emmy was staring at Izzat for a solid 5 minutes, nothing around her bothering her gaze, not noticing I was staring at her. She had this lost look in her eyes, like she was stuck in a maze. Hmm. Is that what I look like when I look at Finn? Must be. Izzat turned to her and she quickly averted her eyes to her side, to me. Izzat smiled and continued to pull Gaten under the water. I turned back to Emmy, her face full of embarrassment.

"H-how long was I staring?" she asked me. Wow. She must be really lost when looking at him.

"About 5 minutes actually." she buries her face in her hands when I said that. I get up and kneel next to her beach chair. I lift her face so then I could talk to her, eye to eye.

"Hey, it's nothing to be embarrassed of. It's normal. Do you know what? I think he likes you back." she shivers a little bit for some reason.

"R-really?" she manages out.

"Yeah, really. You're not the only one who stares. I could see him looking at you only." she looked up at me with a look of hope but then it drops.

"You're lying. You're just saying that to cheer me up."

"I am not. I will prove it to you. You guys are my new ship. IZZEMMY!" I say that a little too loud and everybody turned to me.

"What did you say?" Noah screamed to me. I panicked.

"Nothing! Mind your own business!" Everyone reluctantly turned back to what they were doing except Izzat. He gave a huge grin before submerging under the water. Emmy gave me a shove to the shoulder.

"Why did you do that? I think he heard you!" she asks me angrily.

"But did you see his face? He definitely likes you." she smiles at me. She looks like she was thinking for a moment before speaking.

"Do you know what? Thanks. I feel confident now to talk to him for a little while. But not now. I just want to rest here for a little." Wow. Just a little talk to her made her more confident. Before I left, I decided to mess with her a little bit.

I gathered all of my courage and whispered in her ear. "By the way, he's a great kisser." she instantly blushes and I, too, blush as well. Why did I say that? I immediately regretted what I said and started to apologize to Emmy, but she raised her hand.

"Do you know what? It's fine. That's good to know." we both laugh lightly. I headed back to my chair and laid down again to take a nap. Before I went into a light slumber, I heard giggling and people whispering.

I didn't know how long I slept but when I woke up, I could feel hands picking me up. My eyelids opened quickly and I darted at my surroundings. Wet, curly hair was dripping water on my face. My vision cleared and I could see freckled cheeks and high cheekbones. It was Finn, with a huge smile on his face and he was walking somewhere. He was carrying me bridal style. (Maybe you want him to do that in the future. Hehehe....)

"Finn? Where-what?" was all I could manage out. I remembered we went to a pool and I took a nap. They were whispering and giggling. I realized too late that they were up to something. Finn let go of me and I felt the surface of the cold water hit my back. I quickly swam up and broke the surface of the water. I see Finn grinning at me from the edge of the pool.

"Finn!" I yell at him angrily for waking me up and throwing me into the pool. He shrugs at me and jumps into the pool as well. I blocked the splash with my hands to cover my face. Everybody was laughing at me, even Emmy. I didn't hold a grudge though. I get a good prank when I see one. I smile in embarrassment.

"That's what I call a wake up call!" Caleb exclaims. Emmy was laughing hysterically, practically off her chair. She didn't even realize that Izzat was sneaking behind her. She yelped when he picked her up the same style Finn did to me. He looked down at her face and she looked back with a surprised expression. He walked to the edge of the pool, still holding her. She didn't even try to squirm away. They were staring into each other's eyes for a very long time. But Izzat didn't throw her in, he turned around. I thought he was going to let her go but then he fell backwards into the pool, him and Emmy together.
