You Were My Sanity

After dragging - yes dragging - the unsurprisingly childish teenager from the nudist beach, I made him put his song trunks back on.

Yes, he had stripped down to the core.

I would pretend I didn't like what I saw but who was I kidding? He had been trying to convince me to get naked too because we needed to 'fit in' or whatever with the theme or something. I was tuning him out.

''Score!'' He exclaimed giddily holding up his phone.

''What?'' I asked glancing at him whilst walking by his side.

''You see those 2 girls over there?'' He stopped and pointed to the east of where we were. I tried to tip toe to see over his unbelievably high shoulders but failed. ''The dirty blonde and brunette with nice-'' but I kicked him before he could finish. Looking behind him and seeing my struggle with his height, he crouched down indicating for me to get onto his shoulders, ''hop on.''

I giggled and climbed on anyway finally catching sight of the girls. He was right... The brunette did have nice... Never mind. ''What about them?'' Confused I looked at his phone.

Oh.

''I got their numbers!'' How? I had been with him the entire time. As if hearing my unasked queries, he simply said ''while you were at the surf shack.''

I nodded in understanding, about to jump off of his back when I decided I was comfortable. Comfortable and lazy.

''What about Alison?'' And when a dreaded look overcame his face, frankly I looked smug as fuck.

''I- uh... Yeah-no I mean, uh- uh oh...'' He kept spluttering and then his wide eyes went back to their usual size and he shrugged which caused my head that was currently resting on his shoulder to bob up and down, making me hit my chin. I glared at him, ''these numbers aren't for me.''

''Oh yeah? Who are they for then, Aaron?'' I asked sarcastically and when he nodded confidently, I added a stretched out ''right.''

''Aaron-''

I cut him off ''hasn't even reached the 'cooties' stage yet, Raven.'' He was walking now, heading god knows where, ''when was the last time you talked to Ali?''

''She's mad at me.'' Bitterness oozing out of his usually obnoxiously loud voice.

''Why?'' I asked softly.

''I tried to talk to her earlier, when you were showering, and,'' he sighed and pulled out the phone from his pocket, handing it to me. ''Look at the conversation.''

I held the phone, ''what's your password?''

''1402.'' He answered simply.

I went to the messages with Alison.

Raven: Hello?

Alison: What do you want?! ._.

Raven: To apologise. I'm sorry, I really am :(

Alison: For what? Disappearing on your GIRLFRIEND or ignoring all my messages, calls, missing our anniversary, not being there when I needed you... shall I go on?

Raven: Baby, I can explain.

Alison: You lost the right to call me baby the day you left. Why did you leave anyway? Are we even together anymore?!

Raven: Yes! Of course we are! D: Love, I can explain, if you'd just give me a chance.

Alison: Save it.

Raven: Ali, baby, please ;_;

Alison: We're not going to talk just because you're finally ready to tell me what's going on. We're gonna talk when I say so. Bye Ray. For now, at least.
