Chapter 4: Young Love

"Young love, is taking me over, young love, I'm losing control. My heart stops-stops when I get close to you, like lightning striking out of the blue."- Young Love, Jedward.

-----------------------------------

Today was Saturday. The first week of school has gone pretty slow but I made it through. I decided to go to Santa Monica with Alliah Kihn, one of my friends, that lives across my house. We used to go to the same middle school together. She doesn’t go to my school since she goes to a private school. That doesn’t stop us from being friends. We’ve always went out to shop or eat when she doesn’t want to eat with her family, I really don’t know the reason why, she never told me and I don’t want to ask her about it either.

I woke up around 9 am. I ate breakfast, took a shower and got dressed. Since we’re going to the beach, I decided to wear a white cream tee shirt tucked under my denim high waisted shorts and with white platform sandals. I also decided to bring a black cardigan since it might get a little chilly. I got my black crossed body bag and headed outside. I walked to Alliah’s house.

To Alliah Kihn: Alli, I’m outside.

From Alliah Kihn: Commminnnggg!!!

As I reached Alliah’s house, she came running out in her white shorts, black top, and black sandals. She had her hair in a bun. She looks quite tired.

“Alli, Are you okay?” I asked.

“Yeah… Just a little tired of all the school and stuff,” She replied. We started walking towards the bus stop. We waited for a while until the bus arrived. Alliah and I just listened to our own music since it was a long bus ride to the Promenade. We arrived at around 10:30 am. It was quite windy so I put on my cardigan.

“I’m hungry… can we go eat first?” She said. I agreed even though I’m not that hungry. I ordered some sushi and she got a burger.

“How was the first week of school?” I asked her.

“It was okay,” she said as she took a bite of her burger. “Although Mark seems pretty occupied. You know what I mean? Like he seems like a totally different person… It kind of worries me.”

“Did you talk to him about it?”

“No. I mean, I know I should. I’m planning to but I don’t want to at the same time. It might ruin everything. Ever since he went to North Carolina for a month, we never had the time to talk. He was always busy,” She said. Mark was Alliah’s boyfriend. They’ve been together for almost a year and a half now. It actually worries me too since I know Mark loves Alliah so much and it is weird that he’s acting that way. I don’t want my best friend to get hurt. Mark went to a small town in North Carolina for a month to live with his dad since his parents are divorced. I just hope everything will be okay.

We finished eating and decided to go to the beach first. We took off our sandals and started walking on the sand. It felt warm beneath my feet. I closed my eyes and inhaled the smell of the sea when suddenly a firm arm knocked me down making me fall on the sand. I hear Alliah gasp. I look up and see the silhouette of a guy. He was quite muscular but not too much.

“I am so sorry,” He said apologetically. His voice was deep and manly. He let out his hand and I took it. He pulled me up and I saw him properly. I look at him for about 5 seconds straight in the eye. His eyes were so familiar. It’s like I’ve seen something very similar. He stared back at me. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah… I’m fine.” I said then smiled.

He smiled back. His smile is so captivating. He let his hand out again. “I’m Connor.”

“I’m Kayla,” I said and shook his hand.

“Hi! I’m Ivan.” Someone said behind Connor and a few laughs broke out. Connor frowned then grinned. He introduced me to his friends; Ivan, Lance, and Daniel. I greeted them and introduced Alliah to them. Alliah smiled and Ivan went to hug her then lifted her up. Alliah and I made shocked expressions while Lance, Daniel and Connor laughed.

“I’m sorry about him,” Connor whispered to me. I looked at him, he was smiling. I just smiled back.

We went to the pier and ate some Churros. These four guys were so funny. They made Alliah and I laugh our butts off, especially Ivan. I learned that they were from L.A and that Connor just came here from New Jersey. He lived there since he was young and he was now going to live here in California. Connor was such a nice guy. I wish all good looking guys were this nice.
