How To Fall In Love In Three Weeks

Chapter Six - Practice Makes Perfect

Isabella's POV

"Can you stand on it?" Bella nagged impatiently at Killua. Her right hand rested on her hip and the other held the oar.

"Cant you see I'm trying. Geez you're worse than my family!"

"What did you say you punk!" Her voice sharpened making him shut up. I know hes new at this, but its been over two days and he still doesn't know how to get onto the paddle board. It took me at least two days to ride this like a pro, how is it so hard for him?

"Wait wait I think I got it!" He carefully tried to step on top of the paddle board from the deck, thinking it'd stay stable.

"NO! IDIOT DID YOU NOT SEE ME YESTER-" Too late. He had already stepped off before she finished her sentence. His foot only grazed the top and sent it launching forward, making him stumble back in the direction of the dock.

Unfortunately for Bella, she was right behind him, so if she didn't do anything she was going to get squashed. Reacting quickly she grabbed under his arms to hold him up. But she put too much pressure on her foot that it sent her launching forward, changing his direction too.

They both fell in the water, making a huge splash.

"AW SHIT!" Bella groaned, pounding her fist into the water, sending it all over.

"Hey watch it! Its getting in my eye."

"YOUR ALREADY WET IT DOESN'T MATTER!" She yelled, suddenly regretting her outburst.

"Gee, you overreact too much." He then started to swim to get the paddle board.

Its like time repeated itself. Just two days ago, its almost like the same event happened twice. But it wasn't exactly the same.

She didn't intend on getting her clothes wet, but she kind of had too if she was going to teach him how to swim. I should have worn a bathing suit, she thought.

She watched as the white haired boy attempted on getting onto the board by himself, not too far from her. Well he can't learn this solo.

She swam over to the boy sitting on the top of the paddle board, grabbing the oar before she left.

"I'm sorry for being so dramatic, it wasn't even that big of a deal."

"Nah I shouldn't have stormed off. You're right it isn't that big of a deal..." He paused, then he stuck his tongue out at her. "That's just the kind of annoying person you are!"

"UGH! I HATE you." She didn't really mean it. Its like one of those scenarios when your heart feels some sort of way, but your actions say something else. Well in her case, words. She tried pushing down these feelings for him all the time. Trying her best to make it unacknowledged. She doesn't even remember when she started falling for him, all she knew was that she wanted to see him more and more. It probably doesn't mean anything.

"Okay teach me again, how do I stand without falling?" Killua spoke up, taking the oar from her hand when she offered.

"First find a position you can easily get up from. Then hold your balance, and slowly stand up." Simple, she thought.

SPLASH

He fell over.

"AGAIN!"

SPLASH

"AGAIN."

SPLASH

"AGAIN!"
