Alex looked mildly horrified. "Oh, Miss Sky..." He placed a hand on his heart, looking deeply wounded. "You must think quite awfully of me, but I can assure you that Patty Simms was a total..." He struggled for a word momentarily, dropping the deep, posh sounding accent. "Brat. She had the face of an angel, in most people's opinions, which is why she never got into trouble or anything, but she was a little devil, honestly." He smiled. "I'd never push you in, I promise." He grinned. "Well, not as long as you don't deserve it," he teased. I can make no promises."

((I wont be on much. Sorry))Vee knew the feeling of not liking someone because of their attitude. She's been through it elementary when she was facing the mean the girls that would always pull on her pigtails and say nasty things about her. They looked so sweet. But inside that were truly devils. After giving Alex a squeeze back she says. "Well then c'mon!" With excitement Vee let go of his hand and picked up his little bothers surf board before racing to the beach. "You owe me a piggy back ride if i beat you!" She calls out laughing.

"You owe me a piggy back ride if i beat you!" She calls out laughing.
Alex smiled as her fingers tightened around his, a tiny, imperceptible smile that was only visible in his eyes, which shone like beacons.And then she was gone.
"Hey!" Alex gasped, grabbing his board and scrambling to his feet. "That's not fair." He sprinted to catch up, reaching her in just a few paces, due to the height difference between them. After a moment, though, he held back a little. Just a little. Enough for her to stay just ahead of him. And, selfish though it was, Alex knew it was because he wanted her to win. He could give her this, at least, and besides, he would be happy to give her a piggyback ride.
From the corner of her eyes, Vee could see Alex gaining up on her with his surfboard being held to his side by his arm. She wast sure if she would beat him since one, he was faster and stronger then her, and two he had longer legs. But then gain she did have a head start and got him off guard. Reaching the shallow part of the water, Vee splashes through it and then turns around to find out that she had beaten Alex. She had actually beaten him to the water. "I won!" She says jumping up and down in excitement. "you owe me a piggyback ride" she tried to do a small victory dance but fails thanks to the surfboard that she was still holding on to tightly.
The water moved up and pass her feet as her toes dig into the soft moist sand. She really did enjoy the water. But do much as to surf on it, at less yet. Sticking out her tongue, Vee said "you had no chance against me". She most certainly knew that was a lie.

Alex smiled. "Oh honey," he laughed, flicking her off with a grin. "I'd take you any day in a fair fight," he smiled, knowing full well that any fight with her would be far from fair. She just had something about her that distracted him so. He would never be able to focus, never be able to clear his mind enough to consider beating her. Alex knew she had her wrapped around her little finger, even if she didn't realise it. And he liked the feeling, in a way. Think of Danny... he chided himself, smiling at Vee and poking his tongue out playfully at her. "So, prencesa. That piggyback. Before we surf, or after?" He laughed, kicking the water lightly so it sprayed in a perfect arch up towards her.
His grin froze as he kicked out with just a little more force than he had intended, and the water rose with a huge splash, soaking Vee from face down. After a moment's awkward pause, he burst out laughing. "Sorry," he grinned, ducking away.
"Sure you can" she says with a hint of amusement in the eyes she just rolled at him. But she knew herself that he would win in a fair fight, as in she didn't have a head start. She didn't know the truth behind his words though. Vee thought to herself of when she should have her piggy back. Now didn't seem so bad but that would mean that they would have to get out of the water. But then the idea that he gives her a piggyback ride back to their spot seemed even better. But just as she was to answer she saw the splash of water rise up for a moment before it hit her and left her soaked. "ah!" she said in surprised tone.
She looked at him to see him moving away away with his laugh trailing after him. "Oh you are so died" she says even though he said sorry. She gripped on the surfboard and went after him, trying to kick water at him.
Alex laughed, dodging away and running, with some difficulty through the knee high water. He darted into the shallows, trying not to trip over his own feet, still shaking with laughter as he turned and caught a glimpse of Vee chasing after him. "I'm sorry," he gasped, trying to stop laughing. "I didn't..." He glanced at the board in her hands as she advanced towards him.
Alex turned around to attempt to run again, but he misjudged his step, not fully aware of how shallow the water was. His foot landed on the tip of a sandbank and he stumbled as he lost his footing. As he tumbled towards the ground, he somehow managed to sweep Vee's legs out from underneath her. He landed hard on the wet sand, with her crashing down on top of him.
As he grinned up at her face, half furious and half...something else, he wasn't sure whether to thank or curse his clumsiness.
With every kick Vee managed to get the water spraying upwards, but just not in the right direction. It was either her angle was way off or he was moving to fast for her to get him in one stop. "Sure you are" she says still moving after him, determined to get him wet just like he got her. But she wasn't holding it as a grudge. She just enjoyed their little game.
With her grip still on the surfboard she carried with her vee still chased him. She caught him look back at her and moved her foot to kick the water at him. Thinking that this one was going to get him, Vee's splash passed right over him as he tumbled, pulling her down with him.
She crashes down with laughter, the surfboard falling on the wet sand next to them. She was held by his arms as she laid on him, the water washing up against their tangled legs. The
warmth of their skin touching helped with forgetting the cold water just a moment ago. She looked down into his gray eyes that lot up with the suns light. For a moment she was lost in thoughts. She felt.. Different. Something weird but warm.
((Sorry i just been busy packing and shopping))
Alex held his breath, watching her, waiting for her to move or speak, unsure of how to react. Did she feel the tingle of electricity buzzing between them? The warm, comfortable feeling of his skin against hers. Her eyes, which had always appeared dark brown or even incredibly dark blue, were just inches above his, and he felt his eyes locked in place by them, studying the intense shade. For the first time, he realised that they were the purest shade of black, the most beautiful, captivating eyes he had ever seen. Alex didn't want to move, want to speak, or even want to think. He just wanted to freeze this moment forever, live in it for a million years, just him, Vee, the sun and the mixture of sea and sand that was running across the ground around them.
"Sorry," Alex breathed, hardly daring to move. "I..."
((Just wanted to let u know. My post won't be much( even though they aren't at the moment ^•^ sorry) cuz I'm going over seas. But I will try. It'll only be for a month))"Er..." She couldn't get her mind to function properly. She could stop thinking about the electrical feeling she was getting. The warmth of their bodied together. The butterflies in her stomach. "It's.. Ok" she says.
She finally noticed that they stayed like this for a little bit to long. She finally removes her hands that were placed on his chest to hold herself up and gets herself of of him. "It's not your fault... It's mine"
Now that she was off of him she couldn't dare to look into his eyes. She just turned around and picked up the surf board. how did this happen? What just happened? Vee thought to herself.
"So... You still want to teach me?" She asks a bit awkwardly.
((That's fine, don't worry :) Where are you going to?))Alex could feel the heat rising into his cheeks as he stood up and dusted the sand off his shorts. He could still feel the warm, almost burning, handprints on his chest, from where her hands had touched his bare skin. Alex ran a hand through his hair, trying not to think about that.
Whywhywhywhywhy was he such a klutz? He didn't want to ruin their afternoon, ruin one of their last days of the summer together. Alex cursed himself silently while he recollected his board and held it in front of him, keeping a respectful distance between himself and Vee.
He broke into a slightly sheepish, awkward grin. "Of course I still want to teach you. I mean, if you...still want to learn." He ran a hand through his hair.I'm sorry. Look...let's..." he cleared his throat. "Forget about that?" His voice rose an octave as he made his suggestion, and Alex struggled to swallow his nerves.
Vee moved to pick up her surf board that he'd fallen next to them. "Er..... Yah... Totally" she stammers. He's never felt so awkward before, especially with him before. But did things suddenly change? "We should probably.. Go?" She points at the waves that came crashing to their feet. "Andrew may want his surfboard so we should probably..you know start" she suggest. oh god, Vee thought to herself. what happened?
Vee slowly backed away towards the water.
((My post will be slow. But maybe we'll be on the same time since where near each other. I'm on a vacation and I'm in Yemen ))
Oh no. Alex could feel his entire world slowly crumpling into a murky cesspool of burning water, that threatened to consume him and all he loved. What had he done? Would things ever be the same between them."Vee..." He reached out to her, his hand freezing inches away from her wrist. Before, a gesture like this would have been nothing. But now... He couldn't bring himself to touch her, to feel those sparks fly between them once more. "I'm sorry. Really. I mean, if you want to go back, that's fine." His grey eyes drooped slightly, changing from stormy to pathetic hazy clouds in an instant. "But I'd be happy to teach you. IF you still want."
Vees heart picked up just as he moved to grab her wrist. Even at the thought of his warm skin touching hers gave her the fuzzy feeling. "No.. " she starts off, pulling her hand slightly away so he wouldn't touch her. "Really it's ok"Vee actually did want to learn to surf. But dyer what happened, should she? She wouldn't have to do something with him as have things very very awkward. Vee shook the thought from her head. Their just friends. It's nothing. "I'm still ok with doing it" she tells him. I
Alex's face lit up. "Really?" He grinned. "I mean, if you want to. I wouldn't want to pressure you to or anything. But I hold to my promise. I won't let you drown. Or get eaten by sharks." He paused. "Not that there are any sharks around here, except the little beaching ones, but it's too late in the year for them."He smiled brightly, fully aware that their relationship was not totally fixed. She still wouldn't quite meet his eyes, and he still couldn't quite bring himself to look at her. For fear that her beauty would cause him to slip up, cause him to treat as something more than a friend and shatter the delicate bond they shared. But he hasn't ruined everything. Not yet, at least.
Vee nods, showing him that she really did want to continue with him showing her how to surfboard. With a soft giggle, finally getting comfortable with him and how he speaks without knowing what he's saying, Vee said "I'm sure I won't get eaten by a shark. Now c'mon what are you waiting for?" She asks and glances back to the water to watch the waves move. She turns to look at the kids, checking up on them to make sure their ok. "So how do I start?" She asks, finally managing to look at him.
Alex laughed, chasing after the cord as it bobbed away from him through the waves. He caught it and held it up triumphantly. "Here." He yanked it to test its connection to the board, before tossing it in Vee's direction. "You've got to make sure this is attached to your ankle. Just slip it over, and the velcro will hold it in place."Alex's own was already fastened to his ankle, the board trailing lazily in his wake. He surveyed the sea with faint disappointment. "It was nice when Andy and I were out earlier. Big waves - they're good fun. It's quieter now..." Alex shrugged. "Oh well. Small ones are good for learning, I guess. First we have to swim out a little, so we can catch the wave."
Bee catches the cord and sleeps it onto her ankle just like he told her, checking his out to make sure she don't make a mistake if that was even possible. She looks out to the water with a smirk. "These aren't big?" She looks back to him. Vee wouldn't be able to tell the difference for anything. Leave her in water with a board and she'll probably die. "So do you just walk out their..? Or like swim?" At the moment, Vee felt stupid.

Or like swim?" At the moment, Vee felt stupid.
Alex laughed. "These are tiny. I've surfed waves about six times as tall as me. Trust me. These are small." He smiled, wading in up to his waist, before dropping into the cold water. He hissed softly as the cold water enveloped him, shuddering slightly. "It's cold," he warmed Vee, before smiling. "And yes, we swim out there. You up to it, Princesa? Because you can always get on the board, and I'll push you, if you're not."He smiled. He was a strong swimmer - had been in nationals competitions when he was younger, but his passion and dedication had somewhat died out. Now he just surfed, more for the pleasure than anything else.
"I think I can swim out" she says and just walks deeper into the water. Slowly the cold water goes up her legs pass her knees then up to her waist and finally up her stomach. "It is" she agrees, trying to keep herself from going back out. "When is it I get on the board?" She asks him. She didn't know what to do and was scare if she did something wrong, even after he told her what to do. "And how do you even balance yourself?" She knew if she started to ask him questions, she'll probably never stop.

She knew if she started to ask him questions, she'll probably never stop.
Alex laughed gently, reaching out to grab her board and pull it towards her. "Well, you can get on it now... And then you just lie on top of it and paddle with your hands. That's probably easiest."Alex leant on his own board, tipping one edge towards himself so he could clamber onto it and lie flat on his stomach on top, smiling at Vee below him. "Just like that. And then you paddle..." He smiled, gently paddling across the waves. "Like this."
((Lol, just so you know, don't try this at home or anything.... LMAO I know nothing about surfing other than what my dad has mentioned in passing. So yeah. Sorry about that...))
Vee got on the board like he did, her stomach on the wet board. "What if I tip over?" She asks and starts to paddle. Her hand sink into the water and moves, coming back out and putting it back in. She slowly starts to move with him, but of course he was faster. ((Lol ^•^ the way u write makes me think ur good. But dot worry. It's not like I can surf with clothing's since I can't show my skin. And sorry their short. I'm taking turns with the phone with my mom and she hates waiting))
"You won't," Alex soothed, smiling. "Just follow me and don't thrash about too much, and you'll be fine."He paused in his paddling to grab the cord of her board once more and pulling her closer to him, so their boards nearly touched. "Here," he laughed. "Just want to make sure you don't drift. I rather you didn't float out to sea and get stranded. That would be unfortunate."
((That's fine, lol. My posts aren't going to be very long either, because I'm falling asleep...))
((Why don't u sleep and I'll reply later. That would be easier for the both. Good night ))
((Okay, cool. I'll probably end up staying awake for a little longer, but I'm just too tired to write a post of any actual quality right so, lol, so sorry about that...))
((No it's cool. The network here sucks so it kinda takes me time to get the post as everything done. But u don't need to waste ur time on me.))
((Hi :D I'm back! And awake now lol. Sorry, went swimming earlier, so just back now...))
((Sorry I had a wedding yesterday and I came back too tired to reply.))Vee bit her lip for just a second just as he held on her cord and pulled her closer. But the worry left her mind and she focused on surfing.
"So when am I supposed stand? Or do whatever it is you guys do?" She question Vee was scared at that thought. How was it possible that someone could Stan on a wooden board that was on water and stay balanced as you tried not to make the wrong move or you'll go crashing into the water.
"Do I have to stand?" She asks him with and unease look.
Alex smiled gently. "No. You don't have to. Just start on your stomach. Then you can try a crouch, or going on your knees. Then..." He smiled, rising slowly to his feet, keeping the board in delicate balance. "Then you can stand."He smiled. "But don't worry. I won't make you do anything that you don't want to do."
He nodded at the wave on the horizon. "We'll give that one a go. It's not too big. You can bodyboard it if you want to, just ride it back out to shore to begin with. That's always fun. When I say go, kick your feet. But hold on to the board. Don't let go of that."
Vee was trying to focus on what he was saying. body board... I'm going to fall.... crouch... I'm going to fall.... knees... I'm going to fall...feet... I'm going to fall.... balance... I'm going to fall... waves.... I'm going to fall... Kick? How am I supposed to kick when he says go? Oh god I'm going to fall. Just Vee opened her mouth to ask him he was already cruising on the wave that he called not big Vee stayed on the board flat on her stomach and froze. She really didn't know what to do. But she recalls watching Andrew and Alex doing it a couple of times while she was on the beach. maybe I should try this.... No I'm going to fall... I'll just do what they'll do... Wait.. What did they do? Just as she was thinking to herself, Vee had actually been moving. She had moved closer to the wave and managed to get on her knees. She pushed herself up to stand. But just as she stood she lost balance and went crashing into the water.
Alex leapt off his board, the cord on his ankle catching and sending a stab of pain up his ankle. He dove neatly into the water, his hands scraping the sandy bottom as he grabbed Vee around the waist and pulled her upwards, until they both surfaced. He tread the water lightly, staying upright, with his arms still wrapped around Vee. For a moment, they just floated there. Alex could feel her heart beating, a little faster than usual, and willed her heart rate to steady. He hoped that it hadn't gone horrible wrong, that he hadn't terrified her too much. After a moment, he exhaled the breath he hadn't realised he'd been holding and laughed nervously. "You alright?"
His arms tightened around her, though his touch was still gentle, as he lifted her out of the water and onto the edge of his board, so she was sitting on the edge, facing him.
"I'm sorry," he breathed. "I..."
His grey eyes searched her face, concerned.
I'm going to die. The cold water hit Vee as she sunk down. She kept her eyes shut but she already swallowed some water at the shock of falling. She couldn't think straight. She couldn't tell her legs to keep upwards and go to air. But with out a second to waste Vee felt something grab her. She squirmed first at the thought of a shark or some big fish, but just as she opened her eyes she saw Alex.
Vee gasped for air once she was up. She had her arms around his neck where she knew she was safe. She blinked a few times until she saw Alex before her without the blur from the water.
Pulling herself on the board with his help, she said "I'm never surfing ever again" she ignored the warm feeling she had gotten from his touch, to concerned about the fact she almost - well a forty five percent really - died.
Alex let out a shaky breath. "Okay," he agreed, simply. "That sounds reasonable."He smiled, smiling up at her as the sun caught her dark hair and glistened across her wet skin. She was beautiful. Truly beautiful. And he had just almost killed her.
Alex swallowed, grabbing her board by the front and steering it towards the shore. His own board was attached to his ankle, hitching slightly and rubbing the skin around it raw, but he barely noticed.
"I'll take you back to shore," he smiled. "Don't worry about it. The first time I went surfing..." he smiled. "Well, I was a natural. The second time, I fell off, his my head on a rock, got knocked out and had to get CPR from an old life guard with bad breath." He shuddered. "It wasn't nice." As he pulled her back towards the beach, he raised a hand and parted his blonde hair, pulling it back to reveal the thin white scar. "That's where the rock attacked me," he informed her, solemnly.
Vee relaxed as she sat on the surf board and was being pushed to shore by Alex. Her beating heart had comes down. She was just glad to be our of the water. "We'll if it wasn't for the life guard you probably would have died " she points out with a smile that had in her laugh. Now she was better. Once on the sand Vee got to look at his scare. "Did the stitch it up or just let it heal up?" She asked, now actually feeling bad for him.
He laughed. "Yeah, but that's not the way you want your first 'kiss' to go, is it?" He laughed, before letting his hair flop back over the scar and grinning. "Six stitches. It was done in a little shack on the beach by some doctor on her holiday. She volunteered to fix it up, when she saw me. It was a head wound. I was losing a lot of blood. Unfortunately, she didn't have any painkillers, so I just kind of had to bite down on a piece of cloth. It hurt." He paused, gazing thoughtfully at the blue sky. "I cried for an hour. Haven't cried since, not even when I broke my arm in fifth grade."
Smirking, Vee said "that's your first kiss". She had to admit. She felt bad for him for getting hurt and having a bad first kiss. "Look on the bright side..." Vee tried to think of what to say to make this all good. Only one thing came to her mind. "Your alive now with probably much better kisses"
"At less I know now that your not a cry baby" she gently punches him in the chest. "Surviving a broken bone is pretty brave"
Alex laughed. "Yeah, well. It wasn't even that bad. I had concussion, actually. Danny and Rachel - my big sister - had to carry me inside. I guess I was kind of in shock. But I didn't cry, and my dad bought me a skateboard for being such a 'brave boy.'" Alex laughed. "It was a nice skateboard. Until Danny broke it..." Alex rolled his eyes. "The Klutz."Much better kisses... Alex purposefully avoided looking at Vee's slightly parted lips, tried not to think of how it would feel to kiss her... No, Alex. That is one kiss you can't have.
Alex chewed his lip, averting his eyes. They were nearing the shore, and he could feel the sand beneath his feet now, cool and grainy.
"Yeah, my first kiss was a bit of a downer. To be fair, my second one wasn't that much better. My sister's best friend, Lucy, tried to kiss me in a closet once. I was about eight. She was ten or so. It was weird. We were playing hide and seek and Rachel was the 'seeker,' and Lucy and I decided to hide in my closet. It was really dark, and suddenly she kissed me. I sort of jumped backwards and his my head on a shelf, which tipped over and dumped piles of clothes all over us. Anyway. I'm hoping things will go better in the future..." He laughed. "What about you, Miss Sky? I mean, no one's perfect, right?" Wrong... Alex pushed the thought out of his mind. "You must have some embarrassing stories, too."
Vee pushed in her toes deep in the soft wet sand. His story was pretty bad. But hers, we'll it was pretty embarrassing. Just at the thought her cheeks warmed up. "Oh me... I can't remember any" she lied. She would die if he find out. She couldn't bring herself to tell Alex what happened with her crush. He would just, being the type of friend he is. It wast that she didn't trust him, because she did. She just couldn't bare to feel embarrassed.
"Really?" Alex leaned on the edge of the board, propping his chin up on his hands. He couldn't help but notice the blush rising in her cheeks, and didn't totally believe her claim that she remembered nothing of her first kiss - or any other embarrassing stories. "Come on, it's hardly fair. I shared my soul with you, Sky. No secrets. I won't laugh, if that's what you're worried about. Scout's honour."He held up his fingers in the scout sign, before smiling and ducking slightly so he could look into her eyes, his grey eyes glinting in the sun. "Don't be shy, princesa."
Vee ran a hand through her wet hair, debating wether she should tell him or not. Giving in, Vee said with a sigh "well it's not my first kiss because it was actually nice. But it was with my first crush" Vee smiled shyly. She could remember the day she embarrassed herself. It was just like it was yesterday. "It was in second grade. I had my two front teeth out at that moment. God did I look horrible. But James Jonson was the cures boy in the class and I had this huge crush on him. All the girls did. But one day James and his friend Alexander were talking about their favorite animals and I over heard say he like monkeys so I...." She trialled off and buried her face of embarrassment. After while she picked her head and looked at him. "Do I went up to him and told him that I loved monkeys, which I did at that time, and I started to jump around like one and make noises."
Alex stared at her for a moment, totally stunned. Then, a flicker of amusement sparked in his eyes. He stuck true to his words, managing to keep a straight face and not laugh, smiling at her through closed lips. "You...danced around like a monkey to impress some guy in second grade?" Alex smiled thoughtfully. "And it wasn't even Alexander you were trying to impress? It should have been Alexander. Alexander is a nice name," he grinned. "At least it wasn't, like me Alexander. That would have been awkward..." He shook his head."Sorry. That's...actually..." He smiled, reaching over to flick her nose, playfully. "Kinda adorable. Aww, I can see little second grade Vee..."
"Oh please. You probably would have wanted to that Alexander" she tells him after he flicked her knows. Now that she thought about it, telling him about her embarrassment moment was not that bad. Ok maybe a little. Vee looked up to him and saw him smile. She knew he was trying not to laugh. "Smiling counts" she tells him and pushes him off the board.
Alex gave a yell of surprise as he plummeted towards the sea, the water freezing against his skin-kissed skin. He gasped just before his face went under, dunking beneath the waves with enough air in his lungs. Alex settled gently to the ground, smiling a little. He was a surfer, and a former national swimmer. He could hold his breath. And it would be fun to play a little trick on Vee... He could stay down here for long enough.
Vee laughed as she watched Alex go crashing into the water. She looked over the board and into the water to watch him come up and say something. Slowly her smiles starts to fade as she waits longer then she thought she would. "Alex" she said after half a minute. "Don't be playing games with me" she warns him worriedly.
Vee knew she could hold her breath this long so she really started to worry. No. No. No. He can't die... "Alex!" Vee calls out. She didn't know what to do since she wasn't a good swimmer. Tears sprang to her eyes just at the thought of him dying.
Alex held on for a good two minutes before he started to feel lightheaded. His lungs hurt by this time, and he couldn't really think past his desperate urge to breathe. Now. Alex kicked off from the ocean floor, powerful strokes sending him towards the surface, gasping. He broke out into the open, flipping his head back and taking a massive breath, before shaking his head like a rabid dog to clear it. Water droplets flew from his hair as he grinned, turning to face Vee, still slightly out of breath.
"Gotcha there," he teased, grinning. "You pushed me. I had to get revenge."
