Good Girl Secrets

Chapter 7 - Cliff Jumping

Theo was ok with me sleeping over. We were currently in his room watching a movie. Everyone already left so it was just the two of us.

"You wanna get wet?" Theo asked me, pausing the movie.

"W-what?" I said, not hearing him right.

"Nothing sexual." He laughed. "Should have seen your face."

"I knew that." I said, avoiding eye contact. This only made him laugh harder.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

"What I meant was to go to the beach." Theo said, clearing his throat.

"Oh." Honestly, I'm ok with that. There are just two problems.

1. My hearing aids. I mean I can get them wet, it's just right after I have to turn them off and remove the battery and I don't have an extra battery with me so that would mean I'll have to buy a new. I could just go to Walmart. I also don't want Theo finding out about this. I mean I am self-conscious about it.

2. I don't have a bathing suit and I don't think Theo will have one for me.

"I don't having a bathing suit though." I said, trying not to go.

"Oh, my sister has plenty." He said.

"You have a sister?" I asked.

Great. This is so cool. Yay.

"Yeah, her name is Jane, she's in collage and she's a total bitch." Theo said, chuckling.

"Oh, that's a pretty name." I said.

"Her name might be pretty, but she isn't." Theo said. I shook my head with a smile on my face.

"Anyways, you guys might not be the same size, but I'll try to find one." Theo said. I nodded and he left his room, probably going to his sister's room.

I sat on the edge of his bed and waited. I looked through my backpack for some money.

I have to have something in here.

And I do! 20 dollars.

I tucked the 20 dollars in the back of my jeans and sat back down at the edge of Theo's bed.

"I'm back and I found one." Theo said, coming into the room. He handed me the bathing suit and I stared at it. I gulped.

"Does she have anything that doesn't show much skin?" I ask. My body was something I ALWAYS covered. It just wasn't pretty and neither was I.

Theo shook his head. "Nope, they were all bikinis."

I nodded and went to the bathroom to change. When I put the bathing suit on, I stared at my reflection

"Can you get any unglier?" I said to myself. Every time I saw models on magazines or pretty girls with pretty bodies, I always envied them. I wish I didn't have these scars on my back.

"Emmy, you done?" I heard Theo ask me, through the other side of the door.

I gupled. "Y-yeah." I put my clothes on and left my hair done.

This is a risk, but just be normal.

I came out the bathroom and saw Theo waiting in his trunks and no shirt. He had two towels around his neck. I tried my very best to not stare and gawk at him. That 6 pack and that V-line...DADDY!

I meant...Friend.

Let's just say that was really hard, but I composed myself.

"Ready?" He asked, with a smile on his face.

I smiled back. "Mhm."

I followed him out the door and into his car. When he passed the beach, I looked at him. My heart pace was getting faster by each minute. Houses and buildings disappeared from my view and were replaced with large trees.

"Y-you passed the beach." I said, nervously.

"I know." He said, with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Are you going to kill me? If you are please do it now so I can get the pain over with." I said.

Theo laughed. "Emmy, I'm not going to kill you. I'm not evil or sadist."

I know someone with that description.

I shook my head and got him out my head. Today, I'm Stephen free.

"Alright." I said.

The car stopped and we got out. I took a look of my surroundings. Trees, trees, and more trees.

We were in a forest.

"Follow me." Theo said and that is what I did. We walked for a couple of minutes before stopping. We were on a cliff and there was water beneath us.

Cliff jumping. For real?

"Yup." Theo said, smiling.

"I said that out loud?" I asked.

"Yes, yes you did." Theo said. "Now come on."

Now I have to take my clothes off revealing me in this bathing suit. Great.

"I'll jump to show you it's safe. We're not that high." Theo said, trying to calm me down.

I looked down and gulped. "Looks high for me." I said.

Theo laughed. "C'mon. I'll jump with you."

I nodded. "Ok." I was about to start taking my shorts off, but Theo was staring at me.

"Umm, can you turn around please. It's kind of awkward." I said.

He nodded and cleared his throat. He turned around. "Sorry." He said.

"It's fine." I mumbled. I took my shirt and shorts off quickly. "Ok, done." I said, sitting on the ground and folding my clothes on the floor.

Theo turned around and stared at me once I stood up. He just stared.

He's probably thinking I'm ugly.

He smiled at me. "You look great." He said.

"Umm, thanks." I said, blushing a little.

"Ok." Theo said grabbing my hand and giving me a reassuring smile. He grabbed my hand holding onto it. It gave me a unfamiliar electric shock throughout my body. "I'm going to count down from 3, ok." He said. I nodded.

"3."

Oh my Lord, I hope I don't hit my head on a rock.

"2."

Please. I'm begging you for me not to die like that.

"1"

I'm definitely going to hit my head on a rock.

Before my mind can fully process anything, I was being pulled to the edge and I was in the air.

I let out a little squeal in surprise and I heard Theo yell, "Yeah!"

We were splashed into the water in a matter of seconds. My hair went in front of my face when I rose up and I heard Theo laughed. I went under water and when I rose up again my hair was back. I made sure my hair covered my ears.

"Fun, eh?" Theo said, a smile on his face.

I smiled back. "Let's do it again." I said. He nodded, agreeing with me.

We walked up the rock staircase (cool right?) and got back up to the top. We jumped together again.

And again.

And again.

It was getting dark so we decided to leave. We dried ourselves with the towels.

"Hey Theo, can you stop by Walmart? I have my money, I just need to buy something." I said.

"Yeah sure." He said.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

I put my clothes on and we walked back to the car. Theo starts the car once we get inside and we start driving to Walmart.
