We're finally at the beach. Avery parks the car and we get out. I avoid Mick like the plague that he is. I try my best to stay close to Asher, he can sense that I'm not comfortable. "hey, why'd you go sit in the front?" he asked. I just shrugged "I got a bit claustrophobic, is all" and thankfully, he didn't press on. Asher and I got along well, for siblings that is. He was always studying though, and his results were proof of his dedication. Truly admirable. He had plans. Not so much like Avery. He enjoyed being with the guys, clubbing, taking party drugs and being around girls like Tyra. And speak of the devil, here she comes now.
Sharp features and long dark hair. She wasn't supermodel worthy but she showed enough skin for guys to hover and linger. Her brother EJ was a genuine nice guy. He was respectful and kind. She came to me first, surprise by her acknowledgement, I took a step back. "hi Ava" she beamed, "hi Tyra" I waved awkwardly. "cmon, let's go change while the guys get us a spot" she said, pulling me along with her. She was 18, last year of school, like Asher, but her focus wasn't the same. Her focus was obvious, boys. We get to the change rooms and she starts getting her stuff out, she looked up at me "aren't you going to get your swimming costume on? She asked." oh no thanks, I'm not swimming today. " She pouted, as if she was thinking deeply." Why not?" she pressed on, "I don't like the beach and I have my period." I lied. Why did I lie? Stupid thing to do. I just hate being pressured into something. She just nodded. She went into one of the change rooms and came out in a one piece, red and black swimming costume, with a sarong attached to her hip. Like I said, not a supermodel body at all but still hot.
I stared, and unfortunately, she noticed, "is this OK? Do you think the guys will mind?" of course her concern was about the guys, and they will obviously love it. Ugh.. "not at all, you look great." and she did. She looked hot. But her personality was annoying and when you're hot, your personality doesn't matter. We made our way back to the beach, spotting the guys a few feet away from the water. As we get there, someone catches my attention, "Eli?" I say to the person, he turns and grins broadly. He starts walking towards me and then starts to sprint and I know what's going to happen, his going to tackle me down and tickle me till I die. So without thinking, I run! I run for dear life. I reach Asher and duck behind him. Asher notices Eli, "hey Eli, nice to see you again" casually having a conversation with Eli while I still duck and weave around him. I quickly run towards the change rooms but I just couldn't run fast enough. I felt the air getting blown out of me, as I'm tackled to ground, sand in my hair and my eyes shut tight. I peak up, Eli is grinning in victory "one... ," he starts, my eye widen "Eli, no please!" "two.." he continues, I struggle my best to get free "three!" he shouts and I lose. He tickles me for what seems like forever. While I scream and laugh till I can't breath. He stops and I open my eyes to see a smiling Asher, a not impressed Avery, a confused Tyra and sour faced Mick and Zach. Feeling the need to explain myself because the look on Zach's face, was murderous.
"Uhm.. Sorry, this is Eli. Eli, this is Zach, Tyra and Mick, and way over there is EJ, Tyras brother" pointing everyone out while still trying to get my breathing right. He smiles and waves hi to everyone. "we're heading to a place down by the food court for waffles, want to come with?" he asks me and before I could respond, Zach speaks "we've already got plans, but thanks" I look at Zach in utter disbelief. Ass. I focus on Eli "sorry E, we've got plans but I can hang for a few minutes" I smile. "OK great, let's go" he says helping me up, off the sand. I let Asher know where I'll be and go on after Eli. I talk to his friends, who are really nice and fun. But I was feeling guilty for leaving Tyra alone. Yes, I don't like her but I still felt a tinge of guilt. I quickly spotted Eli and said my goodbyes to him and his friends. "it was so good to see you Ava" he said, giving me a bear hug, "you too Eli, bye." and I turned around to leave but backup a step, as Zach and Mick were standing right in front of me. Why do feel like I've been caught with my hand in the cookie jar? "hi guys," I say cheerfully "ready to leave?" and I walked pass them with a bounce in my step, smiling to myself. This, this right here, is going to be the reason I never have a boyfriend, ever. Claim me openly or sit down boys. This cat and mouse-the note book romance is fun when you're young, so why not enjoy their misery. God knows what they've been doing with Tyra for the past hour anyways.
