I then grab my sunglasses, Towl, suntan lotion, and phone and put them in my bag. Except my towl. As soon as I got out there. I recognize that's the only free chair is next to Asher. I go and sit and smile. Layla and Spencer are talking more like flirting.
Me:"Hi, Layla. Hey, Spencer." I say smiling. They don't even acknowledge that I'm there. I frown. Spencer is my best friend. But whenever he's around Layla it's like I don't even exist. So I try the same with Asher. I smile at him.
Me:" hey Asher." I said not even holding back the sad sigh. Unlike his girlfriend and my best friend. Asher turned to me and smiled.
Asher:"Hey Valentina, you OK? I heard that sad sigh." I shake my head no and point at Layla  and Spencer. He looks at where I'm pointing and then roll's his eyes turning back to me.
Asher:" tell me about it." I shake my head no.
Me:" I don't like talking about my feelings. I'll just start on my tan." I say rubbing the tanning lotion. On my arms, legs , and stomach. I tried to reach my back but I can't. I turn to Asher.
Me:" hey Asher?"
Asher's POV: I turn to Valentina. Smiling.
Me:"Yes Valentina?" She smiles at me shyly
Valentina:"I Can't reach my back. Can you put sun tan on it for me?"  She Asks shyly. I smile at the sweet yet shy girl in front of me.
Me:"of course turn around." She smiles and turns around. And I start to rub it on her delicate skin.
Valentina:" so how Long have you been playing football?" I smile as she starts a Conversation.
Me:"since I was a little kid it's always been what I wanted to do. What about you. You got any extracurriculars I should know about?" I hear her laugh angelically.
Valentina:" A couple actually. I am finished my classes and competitions for level 10. Gymnastics. I sing. I'm actually the new cheer captain. And I Dance." I smile impressed
Me:"impressive, I think I'm done."  I say putting my hands on her shoulders but I immediately feel how tense she is.
Me:"Tina, your really tense."
Valentina:"Tina?" I smile as i start massaging her shoulders.
Me:"my nickname for you." I here her sigh.
Valentina:" I love it, Ash?" I let her lean  against my chest as we sit up and I continue to massage.
Me:"yes, Tina." She opens her eyes and smiles up at me.
Valentina:"thank you for this."
