Summer Lover

Please tell me I'm dreaming?

Chapter 3:

I was already in my black shorts and while I was putting a t-shirt on, Liam walked in.

"Have you heard about knocking?" I questioned him,

"It's nothing I haven't seen before." He laughed.

"That has to be the gayest thing you have ever said."

"Yeah, yeah... Hurry up, man's hungry!"

We went to the kitchen and sat down on the chairs. I love my mom's food. It's honestly the best thing ever and her carbonnara? Damn! Liam looked like he was starving. He does eat a lot yet he never gets fat, just like me. After we finished eating, we said goodbye to my mom, grabbed my bag and headed out.

On our way to the bus stop after a long debate why I thought Manchester City deserved to win the championship title against QPR, we stopped at a café so we could pee and get some cigarettes as well.

After twenty minutes of arguing with the café employee (I specifically asked what brand I wanted and he gave me something else), we started walking again before I drifted away, thinking about last night. Liam noticed and broke the silence.

"You gonna tell me what's wrong or am I gonna have to find out?" He asked in a concerned tone.

"Huh? Sorry I wasn't listening." I answered.

"Well I realized that." He chuckled. "You're thinking about that girl you bumped into, aren't you?"

"What? Hell, no!"

"You are! Oh my God, you like her!" he exclaimed.

"No I don't. I was just thinking about how a person like her can be so cocky."

"Yeah, right. You gonna tell me she's not messing with your mind?"

"Yes, but not in the way that your thinking." I replied.

"Whatever you say. Not that you care, but Emily told me her name's Lea. She was in the same class as her for biology." He told me as he tried to get my attention, which he did. "Plus she's beyond hot!"

Lea. Damn.

All of a sudden, I saw Liam with a grin on his face. I only then realized what had actually happened.

"Dammit, I said it out loud, didn't I?" I mumbled, feeling a little embarrassed.

I don't know why, but I kept thinking about last night. The way I landed on the girl was unexpected but this made me see her attitude which made me feel so annoyed because I had never met someone so up herself.

"It's okay." He tried to assure me.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, okay?" I asked in a polite way.

We last met up with the rest of the group at the bus stop, and from there we walked towards the beach. Strangely, we looked like a bunch of white tourists who had never felt heat before due to the fact that earlier that year there hadn't been that much sun. The boys and I had already taken our shirts off because it was fucking boiling and I was sweating so much I thought I was in a desert. There were people that I hadn't spoken to during the year, but they were definitely friendly and getting reacquainted wasn't a hard thing to do.

Lea had occupied every single one of my thoughts that I didn't realize Maya was standing next to me and was asking me a question. I felt her finger poking me and I quickly snapped out of my fantasy and paid some attention to her. Maya had been in our class since I could remember. She was a very mysterious girl that had the determination to succeed in whatever is thrown at her. She had always wanted go to law school, which I thought would be a great accomplishment for her.
