I COULDN'T STOP
"Hey, Ocean,' I turned back as Makai dashed towards me, carrying the same papers I'd left behind in the classroom.
"You forgot this,' he said, handing it to me, and I took it from him, folding the papers.
"Where are you going?' He raised his brow.
I looked at him after folding the paper. "I'm going to the library,' I said as I started walking, and he followed.
"Come on, why do you always f*****g go to the library?' he scoffed. "Do you ever get tired of reading? I'd be bored to death if I were in your shoes,' he grumbled.
"That's because there aren't any girls in the library these days, which is why you don't want to go,' I joked.
"Whatever?' He kept rolling his eyes, which made me laugh.
"No big ass, big t**s, or big boobs, please. That's something you're always interested in. Man, those things are going to fall one of these days,' I chuckled.
"Well, before it falls or begins to sag. I would've touched every big boob in the world, and my future wife must have big boobs,' he smiled and closed his eyes, hugging himself, and I smacked him in the head.
"Stop daydreaming," I said as I continued to laugh, and he joined in.
We arrived at the library and went inside, where I went to where my favorite books are and picked one off the shelf, as well as looking at the Blurb. I'm just curious what kind of book this is. I'm hoping it's not a cliche novel. I despise books that write nearly the same story all the time; do they not have any other ideas, or have they run out of ideas for what to write? Romance this, romance that, all the time about a guy or a wealthy, billionaire, millionaire abandoning his girlfriend, only to return a few years later and discover he had a baby and tried to fight for the baby, only to end up falling in love with the girl and marrying happily ever after.
Wow! As if that were the case in real life. Divorce is common in real life, and people rarely fall in love these days. At least, that's what I imagined. I kept looking at the book, but I didn't like the blurb, so I put it down and moved on to the next one.
"Hey, man. Don't you get tired of reading these romance novels?' Makai complained.
"I love Romance books, but only super, rare, and exciting ones," I replied, to which he rolled his eyes and began picking up any book he saw on the shelf, opening it, and putting it back. "This is so boring. Man, how do girls even read this? I need to sleep; just turning the pages of this book makes me dizzy. This is why I despise the Library,' he remarked sarcastically.
"Because they enjoy it. Girls love to read romance books, and I believe it is part of what they want in real life, or perhaps they just want to be in that world of what their Prince Charming will be like, or perhaps it is their dream fantasy, or perhaps....' Makai cut in and groaned, "Enough with the word "Perhaps."
I burst out laughing. "But that is the truth..."
"Wow! He's here,' Makai exclaimed.
"Who is here?" I asked, looking in the direction he was looking, and I, too, was surprised.
It was Ethan
I had no idea he was going to be in the Library today.
What was he doing in that place?
"Man," Makai grumbled. "Can you see how the girls are swooning over him? I wish I was the one those girls were approaching and vying for their attention. Instead, they like chasing him around like bees and I don't know why, or what they see in him, and besides, he doesn't even give them attention, so why waste their precious time with him? When he uses girls, the way it pleases him. I hate him?' Makai elaborated and sarcastically scoffed.
I kept staring at Ethan, ignoring Makai's tantrums. He was stunning and...beautiful. I couldn't take my eyes off him. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ocean Coast. That's funny, right? Whenever I tell someone my name, they either laugh or compliment me. That's the name my mother gave me and she gave me that name because she gave birth to me beside the beach, close to the sea. According to what she told me, she was in labor, the ambulance was late to pick her up, and she was in excruciating pain. But, as soon as she got close to the sea, the pain stopped, and her water burst, and she couldn't hold it in any longer, and she gave birth to me easily, without experiencing any more pain, and that's when she realized I was a blessing, a hope, and a light in her life. She is the best mother in the whole wide world.
She tried her best to take care of me and my cousin called Ryan. While simultaneously ensuring that we are properly clothed and fed. She owns a bakery shop and is about to open her second one, and a lot of people enjoy what she bakes and sells, as well as making a lot of sales on that day. My mother adopted Ryan after his parents fled to avoid responsibility. I'm eighteen years old, nearly six feet tall, with dark shiny hair, pink lips, and white, smooth skin. I was also muscular, which is due to the fact that I go to the gym three times a week, which is not easy. I also have blue eyes, which is one of the reasons my mother named me Ocean. She wanted to name me Sea and Blue, and I'm pretty sure I'm glad she didn't. Most people like it, they ask if I'm wearing contacts in my eyes, and some people envy me, saying I should just go get some surgery and change my eyes and stop trying to get attention, and well, I was bullied in middle school because of my eyes, and it was Ryan and Makai who saved my ass that day. I don't try to attract attention, and it's not my fault that people are drawn to me. Girls in particular, and I'm also gay. I'd never been attracted to a lady before, and this was my first time falling in love with someone who happened to be Ethan. I've had my heart set on Ethan ever since I was admitted to this school, and I'm not sure why and no matter how hard I try to hide my feelings, I constantly tell myself that I'm crazy and have no right to love a man. These feelings just won't go away, and seeing him every day at school makes my heart race so fast that it makes my day. I've never told anyone about my s****l orientation, not even my best friend, because he'll think I'm crazy. I watch a variety of p**n, the majority of which is gay p**n; straight p**n, on the other hand, does not usually appeal to me and appears to be boring. Let's put that off for another day.
I grew up with my mother and Ryan, and we both go to the same school, where Makai is my best friend. We met when we were almost in our final year of middle school, and then we applied to the same high school. So we could keep seeing each other and remain best friends. Makai is six feet tall, has blonde hair, light black eyes, very white and smooth skin, and he looks almost like those k-pop singers on TV. That's why girls adore him, and it's a shame Ethan is more attractive than him.
Makai is a nice and caring guy. He is strong and confident in what he does, and he doesn't let anyone bring him down or make him doubt himself. Despite the fact that he sometimes whines, complains, and grumbles like a baby while I act like an adult. Also, he's a total playboy and I don't care, as long as he doesn't hurt anyone and, besides, no one is perfect. He is still my best friend, even though he is a tough one, and he will always be my best friend. I'm not sure what I would have done without him or how my life would have turned out if he hadn't come into it. Maybe I'd still be the same crybaby, hoping for a superhero to come save me, which only happens in movies.
Makai was the one who taught me to stand on my own two feet, that I should never give up what is mine and that I should always fight for what is right. He is of Asian and Korean descent; his father is Asian and his mother is Korean. His parents are stunned, but his mother has disappeared and no one knows where she is.
