Chapter 1

Chapter 5

I had a dream-filled night. Well, mostly nightmares. They were all about me having to watch him kiss another girl. I guess I've become a little obsessed...

They all ended the same way. Me telling him we're over. But what even are we?

I've always been like that. Shutting people out before they can hurt me. I have a problem and I can't stop doing that to the ones I hold close.

I am awoken by my Katelyn telling me that we're going to the pool and to get dressed. I wear my pink and white striped bikini with my daisy crop-top and jean-shorts with lace on the sides.

Chayse tells me that she would do anything for me to play with her and her friends so I finally agree.

We get to the pool and Chayse pulls out her volleyball. We pick teams and I'm with Sofia and Hana, while Chayse is with Katelyn and KK.

Of course, my team wins. And Chayse is mad at me now because I didn't let her win in front of her friends to seem cool. I just roll my eyes and go into the hot tub. I finally finish reading allegiant and I'm sobbing. I can't believe it. Why Veronica Roth?!

Once I recover, I get out of the hot tub and sit on the beach-chair to take a nap. I put on dark sunglasses so no one will really know if I'm sleeping or not.

Instead of dream, I think about what's going on in school the next week. It's the last week of school and I'm so excited! I'm going to be a 10th grader. At least I won't be the youngest grade level.

I'm awakened by a splash of water all over me. I immediately get up and look for the source. I see someone with brown hair and blue eyes. I smile. It's just Liam.

"Oh, that was you!" I say, getting in the pool

"Yeah it was, whatcha gonna do about it?" he says, acting tough.

"Hmm," I fake think for a second then splash him in the face. I burst out laughing. We get into a splash war and the whole pool joins us in an awesome splash fight.

Once enough water has gotten into my eyes, I go into the bathroom to wash my eyes out. It stings so much. But it was so much fun! Next time, I'm bringing goggles.

I got my eyes to be less red and I walk back to the pool area. I look at my phone and my mom texted me saying - "We went the the beach if you want to join us," Eh, I never really liked the beach to be honest.

I know, I know. You're going to be asking 'why do you live in florida if you don't like the beach?' and the answer is I have no idea.

I head up to the room and start to do my homework. Stupid geometry!

I finally finish and check the clock. It's 6:37! How long did I spend doing my homework? Must've been longer than I thought..

I decide to walk around the nearby shops. I walk out through the Starbucks exit and I feel my inner yolo-

ist kick in when I see Liam.

I run up to him and hug him from behind. He turns around, puzzled, then sees it's me.

"Whatcha doing out here all alone?" he asks me.

"I'm not alone anymore. Do you want to walk around the shops with me?" this inner yolo-ist inside is very helpful!

"Sure!" he says the tries to sound more casual," I mean, uh yeah okay."

I quietly laugh and we start towards the first store. It's a sunglasses shop, so I decide to have a bit of fun.

I pick out the goofiest pair and hand it to Liam to try on.

"I'll try them on, if you try...." he picks up a horrid yellow big pair of sunglasses. "These."

"Fine," I cringe as I put them on. We look at each other then burst out laughing. "Oh. My. Gosh." I say between laughs.

"We look ridiculous," he takes off the pair and reaches out his hand. "Shall we move on to the next store?"

"Yes we shall," I say and take his hand. He intertwines our fingers as we walk and it feels magical.
