Chapter Three:
ALEX'S POV
I never could comprehend why this happens to me, all the time. Whenever I am given the oppurtunity to talk with Marcus, I screw it up. Badly.
I could have talked about cool stuff with him, but I didn't. I could have flirted a little with him, but I didn't. I could have confessed my love for him, but I didn't, well why would I do that one.
I hate this sometime, you know like you want to say something, but you know it could totally terminate any chances with it? I hate having a rush to do it, but you don't.
Now, I'm agrily walking home, surfboard in arm. I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought I was on a killing spree or something like that. Urg!
I completely lost my one in a million chance. Fuck me bro.
What made this worse, was that when I got home, the doors were locked, and my parents were gone.
I place my board at the side of the house, and went to the back. I remember I had to do this one time I stayed out too late, and I had to sneak in.
I pulled one of the lounge chairs we had out here, not that we ever really used them, and put it under the window. I pushed the window open, and just as I started lifting myself up, the chair rolled over, AND the phone started ringing. Shit.
I pulled myself up with the little strength I have, lets just say on the push up tests I never score higher that a 12 maybe 15 if im lucky, and fell into the kitchen.
"Ow." I said before I got up, and ran to the phone. I looked at caller ID and it was my brother.
"Hey." I said, uninterested. You see my brother and I have an odd relationship. I mean I love him to death, but he's just very arrogant, and thinks he's always right. Not to mention he's a slut.
"I call to see how my sister is, and all I get is a simple 'hey'?" See what I mean? I rolled my eyes.
"What?" I asked. I looked at my self in the mirrior across the hall, ew I need a shower.
"Well I just got out of Lit, and just figured I'd call my fam while I've got time. No need to get crazed about it." God he's so into himself. I hate this.
Don't you have a girl to fuck? I thought. Of course I would never say that outloud, but its like Urg!
"Alright, Josh, well I gotta go." I said, trying to stop whatever conversation we had.
"Okay squirt, bye."
"Stop calling me th-" But then I realized he had hung up. I put the phone down, and took a much needed shower.
I tried to forget about what happened with Marcus, but I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
He totally smiled when you turned around, and when you smiled at him, his smile grew. I thought. After doubting it, I replayed it over and over again, and I can't lie, it seemed it.
When I got out of the shower, I brushed my hair, and put a towel around my body, even though I was the only one home. I wonder where my parents went.
I opened my room's door, and walked to my closet. It was a walk in closet, with my shoes, and clothes on the walls, and my jewelry that I never wear, is in the island thing in the middle. Although my parents aren't exactly home all the time, they make damn good money.
I just picked out a pair of deniem shorts, and a sleeveless shirt since it was really hot out today. I didn't really feel like drying my hair, so I just let it air dry to its wazy self. I put on my usual makeup, and put on my flip flops. I'm going out. Don't know where, but I am.
Probably would go to Kendals, but I didn't want to have an awkward run in with Marcus. Although I would really like to see his output now.
Just as I was about to go to my car, my phone vibrated. I pressed the home key, and it said;
'New Message From Cedrick
Hey its cedrick from last night.'
I totally forgot about Cedrick. How could I forget about my totally smart plan to forget Marcus. I immediatly texted back, asking him what he was doing today. He replied nothing, and I asked him to meet up with me. Maybe at the beach.
Yeah the beach.
He asked if 3:30 was okay. I looked over at the cable box, 2:45. I responded yes.
For the next 30 minutes, I just sat and watch some TV, nothing else to do.
That's it, I laughed at my own bordum(?), and got up. I put on a different suit from this morning, that one was still really wet, and put on a cute cover up and flip flops.
I kept the door unlocked, so I wouldn't have to climb through the window again, and left at like 3:20. Nice timing.
I walked down the street to the beach, and walked on just in time to see Cedrick walking to me. I smiled when I saw him, and he smiled back.
"Hey." Cedrick said, smiling, and hugged me hello.
"What's up?" I said causally, while walking to a spot with Cedrick.
"Nothing much. How are you?"
"What a gentleman." I joked. He laughed, and I set my stuff down on the sand.
"Wanna swim?" I asked him, while pulling off my cover up dress. When I looked back at him, he was looking at my body. I laughed, and playfully pushed him.
Cedrick smiled, and apoligiesed. Then we walked to the water.
We were both just putting our feet in the water, when Cedrick said.
"Race you!" And thats when I knew my plan was working.
