Friends Forever

Chapter 14 '♥*''*•.¸ ღஜღ ¸.•*''*♥' Friendly Competition

On both sides of me lie Justin and Ryan. They were both just arguing who gets to lie next to me so I suggested they lay on either sides. Boys.

"So how did you become Justin's new best friend?" Ryan asks as he lies on his side facing me.

"Well, on our way here, he said he was sorry so I forgave him. Then afterwards, we did this 'star all over again' thing," I explain. "So we're best friends now."

"Yes and I am here best friend first. You snooze you lose bro," Justin tells Ryan. "We're going to the movies, wanna come with?"

"We are?" I ask.

"Uhm someday," he says.

"You're taking things too fast, bro. But I'm still your best friend, right?" Ryan ask.

"Sure Ryan!" Justin says.

I decide to stand up and go to the water. When I stand up, both Ryan and Justin say, "DAYYUUMM!"

"What?" I ask. "Are you making fun of me?"

"No, nothing. Shut your mouth Ryan, will you?" Justin orders Ryan.

I'm so confused, but I decide to just let it slip. "I'm going to dip, okay?"

"Sure! I'm coming!" says Justin.

"No, I'm coming!" Ryan proclaimed. Then both of them start bumping each other on their way to my direction. Probably racing.

"C'mon guys! I do not get you! You're fighting who will get to come when surely I don't own the sea. It's too big, so you go if you want to. I'm outta here!" I complain then walk away. I dip in the water for a while and then sit on the sand. I'm watching the water when Justin sits next to me.

"Hey :)" he greets.

"Hi!" I say.

"So...?"

"So what?" I ask confusingly.

"Come, stand up," he says as he pulse me up, but I lose balance so I fall. "I'm sorry."

"That's fine," I say as I stand up. "So where are you taking me?"

"Let's go to the water."

He pulls me and takes me to the water. There he wraps his right arm around me as he stands on my left. "Isn't the sun nice?"

"Yeah nice. So nice that it's actually burning my eyes," I say.

"That's good." The shit he says.

"Ugh Justin...AAHHHHH!!" I didn't finish my sentence because RYAN PULLED ME AND I SLAMMED INTO THE WATER MAKING MY EYES SO SORE BECAUSE OF THE SALTY WATER THAT GOT INTO THEM.

I stand up and say to myself, Ok, it's fine. I'm not gonna be mad. It was a mistake. I will tolerate it to myself.

"What was that for?" I ask.

"I wanna show you this shell I found nearby," Ryan says.

"Great. I wanna show you something, too!"

"What is it?" he asks.

"MY FREAKING SORE EYES. THEY HURT. I SLAMMED INTO THE WATER EXACTLY WHEN A HUGE WAVE CAME. I WANNA CRY!"

"I'm sorry," he says. Justin comes and grabs my arm.

"Why did you hurt her? I was showing her the sun!" Justin says.

"I said I was sorry, okay?" There was guilt in his eyes. "I gotta go to the bathroom for a sec. I need to pee. I'l be right back," then he leaves.

Justin helps my regain my balance and half-carries half-leads me to his mom.

"What happened?" she asks.

"Well, I was by the water when Ryan pulled me and exactly a huge wave came and my eyes got salty water in them and now they're sore," I explain.

"I'm sorry honey," she apologizes.

"Hey, can you do this?" Ryan asks. I'm shocked 'cause first he wasn't here then he just speaks like he appeared out of nowhere. He crosses his eyes and sticks his tongue out. I cross my eyes and laugh for I can do what he did.

Then comes Justin. "Hey, can you do this?" He holds his breath for like three minutes. Those gifs of him holding his breath like Bambi, that's like it.

I hold mine for like a little longer than his. I just beat the shit out of them.

"I want a smoothie.." I say.

"I'll get you one!" both say. "No, I will!" chorus again. "Arrgghh!"

"What's up with you guys competing? I'll get my own. Justin, come with me."

"Adios amigo!" he tells Ryan as we walk.

Ryan just sits there and waits.

On the smoothie stand, Justin orders the chocolate smoothie while I order strawberry for myself.

"I'll get another strawberry," I tell the guy who sells it.

"What for?" Justin asks.

"For Ryan. I just can't let him envy us as we sip this."

The guy gives me the smoothie and we head back to where Ryan is.

"Here you go, Ryan," I say as I hand him the smoothie.

"Yeah! Izzy and I got the same flavor! Thank you!" he cheers.

"You're lucky. By the way, I paid for that," Justin says.

"Really?" he asks. I nod yes awkwardly. "Still, I have the same flavor as her."

Justin gets pissed off, puts his smoothie aside and says, "I want a strawberry, too!"

"You already have one," I say.

"Well, I don't like it. Let's go get strawberry!"

"No, I don't wanna!" I complain.

"You're not gonna get your pay this month...." he scares.

"Ok, ok here I'm up. Let's go get your smoothie."

So we go back to the smoothie stand to get another stupid smoothie. When we get back I say, "Never ever ever ever compete. It's too childish, okay?" Nobody responds. I feel like I talked to a ghost.

Time flies and we are back at the house. What happened at the beach was intense. Justin and Ryan competing against each other over nothing. Like who could run faster or who can build the biggest sand castle when both of them failed epically. I start cleaning the floor and the dishes. When the time comes for me to go home, I say my goodbye's and leave. I take a cab to my house. It's actually my first ride! so I'm nervous at first. I take my bikini home and rest. It's like eight p.m. now. I already ate dinner at Justin's.

I'm lying in bed when I hear a knock at the door.

"Come in!" I say. My mom and dad come in with smiles on their faces.

"Guess what's coming?" mom asks.

"Yes, my birthday, I know. It's a week from now.." A WEEK FROM NOW? HOLY MOTHER OF CHRIST!!! I GOTTA SEND OUT INVITATIONS AND GET A DAY OFF FROM WORK. I'm turning seventeen! LMFAO! Who am I kidding? It's still about a month from now. Lol. "No, mom. It's like a month from now. I'm so tired I'm not in my right self. I gotta sleep. Leave me, okay? Bye!" then I sleep. I feel my mom's kiss on my cheek and my dad's kiss on my forehead. The love I'm feeling today.
