You and Me

Chapter Seven

Maya PoV

I was just people watching, I noticed Riley and Farkle near the water

He was chasing her around, they were both laughing together it was really cute but it kinda made me sad

Farkle caught up with her and wrapped his arms around her waist lifting her up and spinning her around, they then both stumbled and fell into the water.

I want that with somebody.

I had that with somebody. For a little while anyway...

I felt a cold chill through my body and not a nice one. I shook off the memories and feelings and rooted through my bag

I grabbed out earphones and my sketch pad and my shirt from my bag, I felt a bit too on show so I placed my top back on

I put my headphones in listening to my summer playlist and I started to draw.

I was drawing for maybe another hour or two, I was drawing Riley and Farkle I thought I could give it her as a present for being so welcoming to me

I had been drawing for a while and I was getting closer to finish, I looked back around most people were either surfing which I can't do, swimming, sunbathing, sitting down and talking and the younger kids were building sandcastles

I sighed and gave up trying to convince myself out of this. I placed my things back in my bag, grabbed two towels and two drinks and went back over to him

"Ranger Rick" I stood in front of the lifeguard seat

"Yeah?" He questioned looking down at me

I held out my hand "Come down" he shook his head and looked back to the water

"I can't I have to keep my eye on everyone" I folded my arms and moved closer

I turned to the other counsellors "Hey! Somebody come over here" All of them looked over at me, none of them moving. Wow weren't they great at their jobs

But then Meg stood up and walked over to me "Anything I can help you with?" She asked once she reached me

"Great, you take his place and let him have some fun" I ordered with a polite smile even though I wasn't really being polite

"No it's fine, Meg you can go back" Lucas said looking down at us both, I sighed and rolled my eyes

"Hey huckleberry, shut up. You've been there for around three hours with one break where you had a shitty small sandwich" I glared at him demandingly

"Now get down here!"

He chuckled softly "Fine fine" he gave in and started to climb down the ladder

Meg climbed up and sat where Lucas had previously been, I'm glad it was Meg who walked over she was one of the nicer workers here

"Now what?" Lucas questioned as I passed him a drink

I smiled mischievously and grabbed his hand "Do you trust me?"

He smiled back "Not at all"

I laughed "Perfect" and with that I ran across the beach holding his hand

I knew exactly where to go, I saw this place on the drive up here and I might of been to this beach before.

We had gotten quite far from everyone else on the beach when we started walking, not running or jogging anymore

"Where are you taking me Hart?" He wondered but he kept walking, he was just letting me lead him wherever I wanted too

I led him a little further and then cut right towards some rocks

There was a little cave, well not really little but I liked it. It was kinda hidden unless you knew where to look

I led Lucas inside and we sat down, after I placed some towels down.

"So how did you find this place?" He asked sitting beside me

"I may or may not have been here before" I implied I had but didn't directly say it since I wasn't allowed on this beach until this summer when I was part of the summer camp

I was never one for rules though

We sat there for a moment just in silence just watching the water ripple onto the sand

"Thank you" Lucas said, I turned to face him but he was still just looking at the sea so I turned back away

"For what?" I think he meant me dragging him away from his work to sit here but it wasn't that big of a deal anyone would of done it if they knew about this place, right?

"For this" I felt a small smile come onto my face

I turned to face him "Oh please, I haven't even got to the fun part yet" he looked at me, I couldn't tell if he was nervous or just curious to what I was suggesting.

I stood up from my towel and took off my shirt "Feel like a swim?"

Lucas smirked but his smile quickly faded and I'm not sure why.

"Maya are you okay?" I shrugged my shoulders not sure what made him suddenly ask me that, was it because I asked him to swim? But why would that mean I wasn't okay?

Then it hit me, I suddenly realised what he had noticed.

Shit shit shit!

I faked a laugh "I'm just so clumsy, I banged into a table" I then smiled to keep trying to push the point I was okay

God. How could I be so stupid.
