Real Side of the Story

Chapter 4

"God meant for things to be much easier than we have made them." -Dorothy Day

Paul's POV

I never though a girl could look so good, the fact that she knows nothing about me makes it even beter. She won't know about my past or all the bad things I have done. I have been hurting too much lately and she might be the one to take my mind off of things. 

Tyler and Justin screamed louder and louder after we heard some girls screaming from the river. They wanted to show off as much as possible just because they could. I didn't care at all, all I could think about was Julia. She just broke my heart, I thought she truily liked me. Then as I walked on I heard Justin talking to some girl and as I peeked around him I felt a smile grow on my face. 

It was her, that girl everyone in my class talked about they said she was a whore and a slut. I agreed but I never payed attention to her much, she was just that girl. Now that I'm looking at her I see she is really pretty. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, well at least I didn't want to.

She dove under the water and I was confused at first but when she came  back up I stood there smiling like an idiot. She blushed a little and it was adorable, I wanted to say something to her but I couldn't manage to get anything to come out. She turned and swam away talking to my brother as I just slowly took the rest of my stuff off to get into the water.

I swam around with Justin and Tyler pretending to listen to what they were saying, sneaking in a few laughs here and there so it wouldn't seem obvious that I was only paying all my attention to her. She was busy talking to her friend, Anna, so I didn't want to interupt.

They stopped talking and I say them split up and Anna stayed behind as she swam up towards me. I had to think of something fast, so I quickly asked her to hang out with us. She said sure and I was glad she did because I wanted to be able to look at her and talk to her.
