'Mom, it is so cute. Jasper's beach house is massive. And I have my own room xxx,'

'I will mom. How is everything at home?'

'Ooh sounds fancy. Mom can you buy me a chocolate fountain please?'

'Awhh YEAH. Thank you momxxx.'

"What you doing?" Blade said curiously as he gave me a strawberry smoothie. The smoothie looked amazing. I took a sip of it and gave him a thumbs up.

"Oh I'm just texting my mum." I replied just before I heard another ping.

'Sounds fun sweetie. Anyway gotta go your father is working on my nerves again. I swear I am going to hit him. Bye sweetie, say hi to that sweet boy who saved your life.' I grinned as I read her reply.

"Cam." Blade yelled out as Cam took his smoothie out of Blade's hands and drank it. I giggled as I watched Blade become frustrated.

Blade glared at him before sighing. I don't think Cam will ever learn.

"Blade!" Cam mocked him grinning at Blades face. "That was good. Who made it?" He winked at us as he drank the last sip. After seeing that there was no more smoothie left he put it back into Blade's hands.

"I did." Blade sighed and placed the glass down on the table in front of us. I curled my feet under my bum as I wiggled further into the couch.

I was watching T.V until Jasper decided that there was no Disney allowed in this house. Despite me pouting he just switched it to some sports channel.

I mean who even likes watching sports?

Boring people that's who.

I feel like they should ban that channel.

Like honestly it was so boring, when Dad watched it I fell asleep. Every Time.

Like doesn't it get bad ratings?

"Soo, what are we doing today?" Reece's loud voice was heard as he plopped down next go me and I was a bit startled from his voice. It was still early morning. So I wasn't fully awake yet.

"Oh my god, you startled me." I put a hand on my chest to calm myself.

"Sorry Anna," Reece winked at me and I felt the familiar heat crawling up my neck. I drew lazy circles on my thigh to distract myself.

"Ooh can we explore the town? I wanna see if they have any extraordinary food here?" Cam whines out loudly munching on a chocolate bar.

I pouted at him, "Hey. Where's mine?" Sulking softly he threw me the smallest bar her had and I let out a giggle.

Beaming at him, I unwrapped it and took a bite out of the creamy goodness. "This is so good." I moaned out loud and watched Blade give me a weird stare.

I just shrugged it off and Reece spoke, "Yeah that's good, we'll go out for lunch. I'll go tell everyone. But get done now." He stood up and whacked Cam at the back of his head making his hair fly everywhere.

He didn't put it into a bun yet so he looked a bit uncomfortable when he almost choked on his own hair.

"Reece. Why did you do that?!" Cam glared at him before standing up. "I could have died."

"Don't be so dramatic, grow some balls." Reece turned around to laugh at him before walking off. Cam slumped back onto the couch pouting with another chocolate in his mouth.

"Are you okay?" I muffled a giggle as I chewed on my bar. Cam and Reece's friendship was the most hilarious friendship ever. They bickered about everything. Literally.

Cam nodded, "Yeah he's a douche. But it's okay since he's paying for my food."

"Is that all you care about." Blade raised his brow at Cam's strange personality.

"Yeah basically." He nodded without hesitation before leaving us but not before he reached into his pocket and tore off another wrapper.

It was silent until Blade got up, "Where you going?" I questioned him as he turned around.

"I'm going to my room, why?" He looked at me raising his perfectly shaped eyebrow. I mean first of all why was his eyebrows perfect. Did he do them? Second of all, his brows shouldn't be that perfect.

I got onto my knees as I held onto the top of the couch to balance myself, because everyone knew that I was clumsy as.

"Come here," I beckoned him with my index finger and his brows were now furrowed as he walked towards me and knelt besides me.

I place both of my hands on his shoulders so I wouldn't fall on him, because that would be embarrassing.

"Uh Little one what are you doing?" He eyes were wide as he looked at the closeness between us.

"Shh," I hushed him as I cupped his cheek and brought his face closer to my curious little eyes.

"Uh little-"

"How is it so perfect?" I examined his one eyebrow, I was extremely confused.

"Um." Blade cleared his throat uncomfortably. Whats up with him?? "What do you mean Little one?"

"Your eyebrow. Like it's so perfectly shaped. Do you do it? Or is it natural. Because if it is holy cows you have amazing genes. I mean mine are not that bad but Beth does force me to do mine so." I shrugged before looking into his eyes.

"No I don't do my eyebrows," he said confused as to why I was asking him.

He stared at me in silence and then I realised what I was doing and before I could apologies about it someone spoke.

Well it was more like a grunt.

I literally pushed Blade away from me as if he was on fire. I fell back into the couch and felt a burning heat creep up my neck and onto my cheeks.

Holy crap.

I looked at Mr Grumpy who was glaring at us both with his hands clenched by his sides as he looked at us, the way he stared at us was nerve-wrecking.

I was blushing furiously and took a strand of my hair and kept it on my warm cheeks as embarrassment filled me.

I didn't even think about how intimate Blade and I looked about a second ago. Because honestly I just wanted to see his perfectly shaped eyebrows.

Blade however, was unfazed by Mr Grumpy's attitude. He stood up from his kneeling position and sat on the opposite side of the couch.

Mr Grumpy looked at me with an unknown expression but his face was still as blank as ever. " We're leaving in 30 minutes." His tone was final as he gave Blade another soul crushing glare.

His eyes drifted over to mine and he stared at me intensely before he seethed, "Get ready kid." And left us in silence.

"Sorry, um I didn't even realise what I was doing. It's just your eyebrows are so perfect." I squeaked out as I avoided eye contact with him because I was already so embarrassed.

"It's fine Little one." He nodded and then slowly walked to his room which was on the bottom floor.

I groaned into my hands. I can't just get one day without embarrassing myself, can I?

* * * *

I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror. I was wearing a white graphic shirt type dress that ended just above my knee. It had a picture of an ice-cream with sunglasses in the sun.

I paired that with my all white low cut converse's. I added some cute colourful bracelets and put on some cherry chapstick.

My hair looked a but wavy and I liked the natural look that was going on. So I just ruffled it a bit and took my camera and bag with me.

I walked outside when I saw that everyone was assembled by the cars. "Hello everyone," I waved to them.

"Looking fancy." Jasper winks as he scans my outfit, and both the girls stared at me weirdly.

"Yeah. Cute." Bethany gave me smile before getting into a car.

I gave her a smile happy that she was back to normal. I put my camera on and took a picture of us all.

Everyone looked happy I guess besides the obvious two. Sarah and Mr Grumpy. I swear they're related.

"Okay guys, lets go with the people we were with when we drove here." Jasper claps his hands loudly and we all followed his instructions. He was kind of the leader of our trip.

"Umm," I whispered as I watched Mr Grumpy tighten his grip on the wheel ,"how far is the town?"

"25 minutes."

"Oh fun." I muttered lowly as I stared at his perfect face. His hair was slightly more messier than usual. And he was beginning to get a bit of a stubble on his face. Nevertheless he looked as fine as ever.

I played with my bracelet as I stared at the beach passing us by. The trees were a bright green shade and it looked more beautiful against the beach.

I was super uncomfortable with sitting in the car with him alone, because of what happened earlier. I mean I couldn't tell if he was actually angry or if that was just the usual. Because he did normally act like that. But earlier he acted a bit harsher than usual.

"What's your favourite colour?" I wanted to be distracted other wise I would become bored. And when I am bored I blurt out random things.

At first he didn't say anything just peaked at me from the corner of his eyes. I shook my head slowly. I knew he was never going to open up. But I knew I would I never give up.

"Black, you?" I gaped at him. And I swore a fly almost went in my mouth. Oh my god he talked to me!!!! Someone call the ambulance I think he's high.

I cleared my throat, "u-uh it's blue. Um do you like Tacos,"

"Not really, you?" He's voice didn't sound gentle at all but I accepted it. At first I didn't understand what he said but when I did I almost had a heart attack.

Oh lord have mercy.

"What?! Oh my god. You don't like Taco's? You must be a weirdo." I exclaimed and then shut up immediately as it came out. Mr Grumpy turned so that he could look at me, I thought he was going to tell me to shut up.

But all he did was glare at me as usual, and turn the radio on before looking at the road.

* * * *

"Can you pass me the salt, please Beth?" Reece asked once Bethany finished using it.

"Sure." She huffs and passes it to him.

"Oh my god this is the best fish and chips shop I have ever been to." Cam had the biggest grin on his face, I was almost afraid that his face would tear apart.

"I know right? My parents used to take my older sister and I when we were little." Jasper told us and took a bite of his delicious fish.

Cam was spot on with how lovely this shop was. The fish and chips here were definitely the best ones I had tried.

"So why haven't your parents been going to the beach house lately?" Reece questions with curious eyes as he dips his chip into some sauce.

"Oh my little sister isn't really a fan of the beach and plus sometimes her asthma reacts when she's by the beach. And plus my parents have been a bit busy lately." Jasper responds and orders another sprite for him.

"So guys I was thinking that we can just look around the town and then yeah." Reece ends off lamely shrugging.

Jasper sat in front of me with a really large glass of Sprite. He winked at me before slurping it up.

We were all sitting at this really large table and I sat in between Sarah and Mr Grumpy. At first it was awkward but then I just ignored the awkwardness.

"So Sarah do you go to school?" Bethany drops her fork as she waits for Sarah's answer. Bethany gives her a little smirk while twirling the straw in her drink.

Sarah tensed up for a bit here eyes drifted to Jasper for a second before she replied with no emotion. "I dropped out."

Bethany's smirk never wavered and she was about to ask something before Jasper interrupted her. "Hey Beth you wanna come with me to see that shop I was talking about?"

"Yeah sure Jasper." Her eyes moved to Jasper and she gave him a huge smile.

Sarah's glares didn't die down as she watched the two of them walk out of the shop.

"You okay Sarah?" I asked concerned and I gave her a smile.

"Fine." She grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth before getting up. "Reece come with me."

"Wait what? But I'm still drinking my smoothie?" Reece complained as he pointed to it and Sarah gave him a look. "Fine. So bossy."

Sarah pulled him up and practically dragged him away and I let out a giggle as I saw him whining.

It was just Cam who was stuffing his food down his throat, Blade who was on his phone looking like he was talking to some super important, Mr Grumpy who hadn't said one word since the car ride, and I.

"Um so this was a really good lunch." I said to no one and Cam was the only one who acknowledged me.

It was silence besides Cam's chewing and scoffing's. I just silently ate my chips as I heard Mr Grumpy standing up and saw him walking out.

"Hey guys do you mind staying here?" I told the two guys who were in their own space. They both just nodded at me and I tried to catch up to Mr Grumpy.

When I got up to him I was out of breathe and it was pretty funny since I only took about 20 steps. "W-Wait. Slow uh down." I wheezed out trying to catch my breathe.

"You're really unfit." I just gave him a shrug because I learnt a while ago to accept that. But I did however smile when I heard his voice.

"I know. It runs in the family." I paused, "actually no one runs in the family. Get it?" I bent down and bursted into a fit of laughter. I thought it was absolutely hilarious.

Oh my god I'm so funny!!!!

"It's not funny." He said sternly like he was questioning my mental health but I swore I saw his lips twitch for a second. I swore.

"I know I have a really dry sense of humor." I said as we past a floral store which reminded me of my mom. The town had a 2 streets of shops opposite each other.

"I know."

"You don't like speaking do you Mr Grumpy?" I curiously asked him and stared at him as he watched the cars pass us by.

"No, I don't like talking kid." He simply says and he kicks a little stone on the pavement.

I really wanted to ask him about the Nikolai and The Cave situation but I was afraid that he would stop talking all together.

"You know this is the first time I've been out of Wayfield. I mean always went to camps for school, but that was by the rural side."

"Really?" He raised his brow at this and shoved his hands into his pockets.

I stared at him almost forgetting about his question when I saw how beautiful he looked in that moment.

I mean it wasn't like I liked the guy, he was my friend. Or more like I forced him to be it.

"Yeah." I lamely said and shook my head at the thoughts that were bubbling inside me.

"Have you been out of Wayfield before?"

"Yeah, I've been to a lot of countries." I was surprised at how this was going. It was almost like we were having a conversation.

"Oh my gosh that's so cool. Name some places."

"I've been to New Zealand, France, Italy, South Africa, Russia, Germany, England, and some others." His tone in his voice was sharp almost like he didn't enjoy it. But then again that's how he usually spoke.

"Woah! That is so cool." I grinned thinking how cool it would be if I could travel.

"Yeah." He pauses and looks at me with such an intense stare I swore my heart almost leaped out of my chest.

"So are you with Blade?" The bluntness in his voice made my cheeks extremely red. It was actually ridiculous, I probably looked like an overgrown tomato.

"U-Uh," I tried to calm my heart and cleared my throat. "N-No, we're not together. He's my friend."

"Okay." He said still blank of any emotions as I looked away from him to look at one of the store windows.

"Yeah." I said lamely, trying not to drown in the awkwardness.

Mr Grumpy however didn't seem fazed by his bluntness, he just lit up one of his death sticks and blew clouds of smoke out.

And that's how we walked, him smoking his cancer stick without a care in the world and me awkwardly covering my mouth and nose while choking silently.
