Don't fall.
Chapter 6
He led me to the water and there was a big flat boat.
He grabbed my hand and led me closer to it.
He looked at me, "Wanna go?"
I looked down at my outfit, "But, look at what I'm
wearing." I protested.
He slipped of his hoodie and handed it to me, "Be right
back." He said running.
A few minutes later he returned with a pair of baggy basketball
shorts.
I smiled as he handed them to me, "I'll go change I
guess."
He laughed, "Yeah you go do that."
I slipped of my top and put on his hoodie. It smelled strongly of
him and it was warm.
I took of my jeans and shoes and put on his shorts. They were
more like pants on me.
He laughed when he saw me, "Wow. You look good." He
said.
I rolled my eyes at him and I put my hair up into a messy bun.
"Lets just go." I said.
He came closer to me, "You look good. Don't worry."
He whispered in my ears.
"Lets go." I said.
A few moments later we were out on the water.
"You know those shorts are too long for you." He said
in a teasing tone.
I grimaced, "I know."
He laughed, "My arm is taller than you."
"No it's not."
"Yes it is," he fought back, "You're
little."
I felt my stomach harden as I changed the subject.
"So, what else do you guys do for fun around here?" I
asked casually.
"Well, there's always parties and the beaches. We go
tubing and boating a lot. There's always things to do. We all
have a huge group message every morning and we make plans for the
day." He finished. "You'll probably be included
tomorrow morning." He laughed.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Because I know my sister and her friends. They don't
usually invite 'outsiders' to these things."
"What did you mean by 'outsider'? I asked trying not
to get offended.
"No one knows who you are. But they invited you here. No one
knows anything about you. Except that you're here for the
summer." He said, trying to use the right words.
I shook it off and I stood up, "I wanna jump in."
He looked at me and laughed, "You're not wearing a
bathing suit."
I slipped off my hoodie and shorts, "That's all I wear
in the summer."
He laughed at me and slipped of his shirt and shorts,
"You're crazy. You know that."
"Yup. I know."
He threw an anchor into the water. "Okay,
let's-"
He didn't complete his sentence, I had already pushed him
into the water.
"You're gonna get it. I swear." He said to me.
I dove over him, "If you can catch
me."
