**Ross POV**
I sprinted back to my house, by the time I walked in the door I was drenched, California hasn’t had this much rain in forever. I shook my head in an attempt to get the water off, but no luck. I walked passed the Living room, to see Rydel looking at the window; I guess she could feel me look at her she turned to look at me. “I like the rain, it’s pretty!” she said looking at me with big eyes. “It’s not very pretty when you have to run in it.” I say walking over to her, with my arms wide. “Ross, go dry off, don’t you dare come near me-” I embraced her in one big bear hug “You’re all wet! ROSS get off of me!” she was laughing and screaming. Rocky came in from the kitchen, ran and jumped on both of us we both yelled when his body hit us, and then I guess that was a calling for Riker and Ryland to stop what ever they were doing and to come join us. Riker jumped on Rocky’s back and Ryland sat down on all of us. “GET. OFF. OF. ME! I CAN’T BREATH.” Rydel screamed from under our bodies, we all yelled back that we love her and that why we can’t get off, “No, off. Now.” She was laughing so hard she was crying. We all pilled off and she sat up catching her breath. I was still awkwardly wet, so I stood up to go get dried off.
“Hey, wait.” Riker said, I turned around in mid step “How was walking back Kairi? He asked “Did you hold her close and make sure she didn’t get wet?” Ryland budded in hugging himself mocking me. I just looked at him unimpressed “It was good, I got her number.” That reminded me I need to text her, “And, I asked her to go surfing with me tomorrow, and she kissed my cheek...” I said under my breath “What did you say?” Riker got up and walked towards me “You asked her out, like on a date.” He said putting me in a head lock “Quit it! I just asked her to go surfing, its not like it’s a big deal, I barely know her.” Truth is I couldn’t wait to see her again. “Yeah, alright” Riker let go of my neck “I think she really pretty” Rydel said while nodding her head “Yeah me too” Rocky agreed rising his eyebrows up and down. I just stood there nodding my head, so I turned to Riker and punch him in the arm “That’s for putting me in a head lock, dick!” he winced and tried to grab but I got out of his reach and ran away up to my room. I shut the door and flopped on my bed, I got out my phone to text Kairi:
Me: Hey! I’m home, is everything okay between you and your dad?
I got up and took of my wet shirt and threw it in the laundry hamper, when my phone went off.
Kairi: Oh good! I saw that it started to rain pretty hard, sorry that you had to walk in it... And yeah everything is good (:
Me: Good to hear! (: so are we still going surfing tomorrow?
Almost instantly I got a reply back:
Kairi: Of course wouldn’t miss it! I’m pretty excited to go (:
Me: Same here! (:
**Kairi POV**
I lay on my bed, with Gub-Gub on my chest sleeping, being all cute like and texting Ross, smiling like an idiot. I think I might actually start liking him; I’ve never really liked a boy before, other than in Grade 1 where I told Martin Saunders that I liked him and he ran away yelling that I have cooties that crush ended fast. I moved Gub-Gub off my chest, “I need to bathe...” I started talking to myself, which I do a lot
Me: Hey, I’m going to go get a shower, I’ll talk to you later?
I replied to Ross
Ross: Yeah same here and for sure!
Setting my phone down on my nightstand I walk over to my bathroom, undress and started the shower. I just love showers they make me so happy and warm. Only place I can actually think, I usually have conversations with myself, and I figure out life problems. ‘Maybe I do like him? I mean he is cute and all, but I don’t know him that well. What if he likes me? Oooh I kissed him on the cheek, was the wrong thing to do? I am so bad with this type of stuff...’ I told myself. I was in the shower for a good 30 minutes; I wrapped my towel around my bare body and walked out to put on some P.J. shorts on and an old shirt. I guess I was really tired because my bed looked so comfy and warm so I decided to lay down for bit not noticing I dozed off. I woke up all sweaty and hot, I felt so gross, I looked over at my clock 11:27pm “Well shit” I mumbled and rubbed my eyes. I grabbed my phone off my nightstand to see 10 new texts 8 from Maria and 2 from Ross. I looked at Maria’s first they were all about how she misses me so much and how I need to come back. I texted her back even though I knew she would be sleeping “I know dude! I miss you too, gotta try and convince my dad to let me fly to Hawaii for like a week or something!” I replied to her text, and then I went to Ross’ conversation
Ross: Hey meet up at 7:00am tomorrow? (10:46)
Ross: You must be asleep, just text me when you get up. (11:10)
His texts made me smile; I sat there thinking of a cute little reply... I couldn’t do it so I just replied with
Me: Haha yeah, I fell asleep but 7:00 sounds perfect!
I got up from my bed changed out of my p.j. shorts and into some baggy sweat pants, putting my phone in the pocket. I crept down the hall passed my snoring dad and down the stairs to get some juice and cheese, seeing as I missed dinner. Opening the fridge down and looked for the cheese and juice, finding them and getting a cup. I sat down at the table with my cheese and juice when I felt my phone go off, I pulled it out to see I was getting a call.
**Ross POV**
Please answer. Please answer. She probably fell back asleep
“Hello?” I heard a voice on the other line “Who is this?” she answered. “Hey, you’re awake, It’s Ross!” praise the lord “Oh hey” she giggled “Yeah I’m just eating some cheese and drinking juice” I smiled “Well, I’m just giving you a heads up, I’m walking to your house right now, if that’s alright...” there was a pause and rush of foot steps “ Oh, alright come to the back. I’ll be there waiting, see you in a bit!” and she hung up. Well alright then.
**Kairi POV**
Shit. Shit. Shit. Crap poop. Why, is he coming at quarter to 12 at night? I ran up stairs trying to be as quiet as possible, for me at least. I quickly shut my dads’ door and ran to my bathroom. I look like shit, I brushed my hair out washed my face, put on some mascara and under eye makeup. I looked decent, when I realized my shirt had stains and crud all over it so I changed into a baggy hoodie and back into my P.J bottoms, and lastly I got a piece of gum considering my breath smelt and tasted like cheese and juice. I walked down the stairs just in time to hear a light knock at my back door. My heart went all fluttery like and my stomach did a flip, am I actually sneaking out with a boy? Yep, yep I am. I opened the door to see Ross, he gave me a big smile “Hey you.” He said “Hey!” I walked out shutting the door ever so quietly. He gave me hug “Wanna go for a walk on the beach with me?” he asked. I nodded my head and smiled; he smiled back and took my hand and led me onto the beach.
