Insecurity

Chapter 5

Ella's POV:

I woke up on Saturday. It seemed everything was going right in the world except for the kids at school.

I hear a buzz from my phone. I look over to see that Lucas sent me a text message.
Lucas: Hey! You want to do something today?
Me: totally! Like what?
Lucas: you want to go to the beach?
Me: just me and you?
Lucas: Of course
Me: okay
Lucas: pick u up at 10

I looked at the clock to see it was nine. I gotta get dressed. I chose a red and white polka dotted tankini. I put a white cover up on.

I found some white sunglasses and put them on. I wore some red flipflops. Cute.

I brushed my hair. I packed my bag. I put a towel, a float, and a few snacks in the bag. Time to go.

I head downstairs. My dad wasn't there, so I left a note:

Hey! Went with Lucas to the beach. I'll be back in the afternoon. Love yah!

I hopped out the door only to see Lucas.
"Hey!"
"Hi."

I run to his car and get in the passenger seat. We drove to the beach.

When we get there, we race to the water while dropping our stuff off in a random place. When we get in the ocean, we start splashing water on each other.

I trip and fall. I bring Lucas down with me. I lay on him as we look into each other's eyes. He lifts his head up and kisses me.

I join in. He won't leave me. I know he won't. My hand goes through his hair. When we pull apart I smile.

We stand side by side facing the the ocean. He entangles his hand into mine. We stand there holding hands as the waves hit us.
