"When do you wish for me to pick you up Miss?" Alexander asked me as I got out of the car. "Um, how about I'll call you when I want to go home. Ok?" "Sure thing Miss Heartly, have fun." He said driving off. "Not likely..." I mumbled under my breath as I walk over the warm, soft sand to an open beach chair. I sat down, put on my sunglasses and sunscreen, laid back, and enjoyed the beach in my favorite way. Doing nothing.
I was disturbed by having sand kicked all over me and a vollyball landing on my stomache. "AH! What the Hell!?" I said wiping myself off and carelessly tossing the vollyball. Some Really cute guy caught it and came running over to me. "Oh My God, I'm so sorry my friend Ash over here is horrible at vollyball." He said motioning to this guy with greyish black hair that I suppose was ash. I took my sunglasses off and looked down at my sand covered body. "Um, ya. It's no biggie. I'll just have to take a 3 hour long shower and check for internal bleeding. "haha your funny. My names Zack by the way." He said helping me out of the beach chair and handing me a towel. "Hi, I'm Brooke." I said taking the towel. Zack was hot! He had pure blue eyes, snakebites, and black hair. He was fit too. He had a freaking six pack! He caught me admiring it and he blushed, rubbing his neck. "ya, so... I've never seen you around here before. You new?" he asked me. "um, ya. I moved here like, a week ago." "oh, cool." he replyed, smiling at me.
"Zack! Aunt Karin said you could lend me two bucks for a soda. Pay up." said this petite girl with blonde and purple hair. " Sophie, two bucks? I dont believe you, I'll give you a dollar." Zack said reaching for his wallet. "Ya, but Seline wants one too." she said eyeing me suspiciously. "who's she?" "Oh, um" he said blushing. "My new friend I guess. I kinda got her a little dirty." he said eyeing my sandy body. "Yup. Hi, my names Brooke." I said smiling and waving at her. She seemed to calm down pretty quickly. "Hi, I'm Sophie. I'm Zack's cousin. Do you want to come and hang out with me and Seline. She's Zack's best friend, so she's no threat." She said smiling and winking at Zack. He blushed and started rooting around in his wallet for two dollars. "Um, sure. Why not." I said smiling. "kk, Zack. Three bucks." Sophie said looking at her cousin. He groaned and started looking for another dollar. " No no, its ok. I have more than enough money." I said grabbing my wallet and showing them the 300 dollars in my hand. "Woah! Where'd you get all that!?" Zack asked staring at me in amazment. I simply blushed and said. "Um, ya. My family is kinda rich. but i'm usually lucky if my mom gives me 5 bucks. this is all my money." I said tucking it back in my wallet. "Well, ok then. Let's go!" Sophie said grabbing the money from Zack and then grabbing my wrist to drag me along behind her. I had just enough time to meakly wave at Zack. He was just laughing and waved back.
"Seline! I have the money!" She said dragging me up to this really pretty Brunette girl. "Oh, cool. And, who the hell is she?" Seline asked looking me up and down. "Oh this is Brooke. Sophie smiled and went up to the counter as me and Seline started talking. "Um, 1 Sprite. 1 mountain dew and, um, Brooke. What do you want?" she asked me. "Um, I'll have a Coke Zero." I said handing her a dollar. She nodded and ordered it for me.
After we had gotten our soda's, we went back to where I had been sitting before and watched the boys play Vollyball. "Isn't Ash soooo cute." Seline said. "Eh, he's ok." Sophie said. She was trailing some girl with wine red hair with her eyes. "dude, whats you deal with that girl?" I asked her as I finished off my Coke. "Oh, um, nothing." she said looking down and blushing. "I just think she's really pretty and all. Seline leaned over and I heard her whisper in Sophies ear "go ask her out then. Dont be such a wimp Soph." I was seriously confused. "Um, why would she ask her out?" "Wow, your slow. Soph's a lesbian." I looked at Sophie. She had her head down and she was blushing. "Sophie?" I said. "Ya?" she said looking up at me cautiously. "Go and talk to her." She simply smiled at me, looked at the girl, then slumped in her seat again. "I can't. What if she thinks I'm a freak?" I contemplated this for a second. "Fine, I'll be your Wing Girl. Be right back." And I got up before Sophie or Seline could stop me.
"Hi, I'm Brooke." I said when I finally reached the girl. "Oh, um, hi. I'm Penny." she blushed and started twirling her hair. She must've been nervous. "Hey, um, my friend was admiring you and thinks your really cute." I blurted out. She looked up at me slightly shocked. "Really?" she asked wide eyed. "Yup, She thinks your really cute and really would like to go on a date with you." I said smiling at her and trying to act as natural as possible. I also made sure to add emfesis on the 'she' part. She blushed and said "hehe ok, point the way." I pointed over at Sophie, and judging by Penny's expression, she was impressed by what she saw. She instantly looked away blushing. "I'm not sure, she's really pretty. What's her name?" she said twirling her hair once again. "Her names Sophie, and she really really likes you." I said. "ok, lets go." and with that, we headed back over to Sophie and Seline. Seline was shocked that I actually did it. And Sophie, well she was over in a beach chair laughing with Penny on her lap. Soon though, Seline was doing the same with Ash.
"Hey, I saw what you did for Soph. That was really cool." I turned around to see Zack. He was looking away and rubbing his neck in that adorable way he does. "Oh, it was no big deal. Just helping out a friend I guess." Zack looked at me when I said friend. "oh, so your getting along with Seline and Sophie pretty well huh?" "Ya, there awesome." I said looking back at them for a second. "They are huh." Zack said looking over at them too. I heard my text tone ring and took my iPhone out of my beach bag. It was a stupid ad. "oh Crap" i muttered under my breath when I saw what time it was. It was already 6! "What is it? Is everything ok?" Zack asked me sounding genuenly concerned. "Uh, ya. I just didn't realize how late it was. I need to get home." I said dialing Alexander to come and pick me up. "oh, well I guess this is goodbye huh?" Zack said not looking at me. "Here, I'll give you my number." I said puling a pen out of my bag and writing my cell on his hand. "you can call me anytime." "Uh, ya. Ok." he said blushing.
Me and zack just sat and talked for a few minutes before Alexander texted me to tell me he was there. "Well, that's my ride." I said grabbing my bag and getting up. "Uh, here. I'll walk you too your car." Zack said grabbing my beach bag from me. "Um, ok." I said blushing. "Woah, that's your ride?" Zack asked when we got to the limo. "um, ya. Say hi Alexander." "Hello Miss Heartly, Hello sir." "Uh, hey. I guess I'll see you later Brooke?" Zack said handing me my beach bag. and opening my door for me. "Uh, ya. Sure, and you can call me anytime. Later Zack." I said smiling as he closed the door. We waved at each other as I drove off.
"Ah there you are. just in time for dinner too." my mom greeted me as i walk into our huge dinning room. I had already showered and changed. "oh goody, im starving. Whats for dinner?" "Ratatoulli." my dad said. "Oh, um, cool." I said sitting down. "So, how was the beach?" my mom asked me smiling. "oh, uh, it was fun. I met a few new friends." "That's great!" my dad exclaimed as he ate his food.
Later that night, i didn't want to read, i didn't want to watch TV, nothing. I just laid down in bed and let the thoughts run through my head. I thought about Sophie and Penny, I thought about Seline and Ash, I thought about my new life that I was already building here. But I thought the most about Zack. The whole afternoon kept playing overr and over in my head. the sand, the vollyball, Zack's smiling face, the towel he gave me... The towel! I still had it in my bag. I'll have to give that back to him someother time. and that only means, I'll see him again. I fell asleep imagining Zack's smiling face.
