Can You Still Love Me If You Can't See Me Anymore?, chapter 6
We walked down the side of the cliff. There was not a person in site when we got there. It was just us, the white sand and the sapphire blue sea. Roxie walked with Billie, I scowled.
I was walking with Hilary and Lianne. "Something wrong?" Hilary asked. "No, I'm fine." I mumbled.
"Fair enough." And before they could ask me more questions I caught up with Mike. "You think she had something better to do, don't you?" I said sneered.
"Who?"
"Roxie."
"What does it matter to you?" Mike said suspiciously.
"It doesn't I was just saying." I reassured him.
"Sure it doesn't." He said sarcastically.
"It doesn't." I laughed. Then without warning. "Aaah!" I screamed as Tre goosed me. "TRE!"
"Got ya!" He said in hysterics, Mike was laughing too.
"Get back here!" I yelled to Tre as I got up and ran after him with my bottle of water, Mike ran after us. I wet Tre and he bundled me then Mike leapt on Tre. I wriggled out and then wet Mike and screamed with laughter. "What a boy." Roxie said to Hilary. "I know." Hilary said. Lianne ran over and laughed at the.
"Lianne what are you doing?" Vikki said.
"Having fun!" Lianne laughed.
By the time they'd calmed down Tre was soaked. "Beaten up by a girl." Billie laughed.
"Hey Billie come here a sec." Roxie said.
"What?"
"Can you see if there is any sand on my back, I've been lying down."
"O. K..." He said walking over to her and then brushed all the sand off her bronzed back.
*narrator. *
"Hey Tre." Mike whispered and walked over to him.
"Yeah."
"I think Laura has a crush on Billie." He said looking at Laura as she called Billie over to look at something that she found in the sea, only to splash him in the face. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" He said.
"Hey you pushed me in the pool and you tripped me up."
"O. K., Truce then." He smiled.
"See what I mean?" Mike said.
"Yeah I see your point."
Laura and Billie were now splashing one another, Vikki and Lianne went to join them.
Little did Mike and Tre know that Hilary got every word they said.
"Roxie." Hilary said, shaking Roxie to wake up.
"What?"
"You will not believe what I just found out."
"What?"
"Laura has a crush on Billie too."
"Oh she does she? Well look at her she acts like a boy, so immature, there's no way he'd go for her, besides he's mine she should know that."
*Laura*
Oh my God I'm having the time of my life! And I've realized Lianne and Vikki aren't so bad at all, and Billie he is so fun to be with. I never thought my holiday would be like this. There's nothing better than a water fight even if you come out stinking like salt afterwards. Tre ran over to us and cannon balled into the water splashing us all we laughed then Mike came over giving me knowing looks when I splashed Billie. Roxie and Hilary walked down to the water slowly slightly cautious about getting their hair wet. "C'mon it's fun!" Mike yelled. Once Roxie got used to the water she was so confident, asking Billie to give her a piggy back in the water. I made it look as if I didn't care by just having fun with everyone else.
It was starting to get dark and the water was getting cold so we hastily got out and lit a fire right on the edge of the beach. I took out a bag of marshmallows that I'd been saving for a while, finally they were actually coming to good use. We got some sticks and lit them. I had a couple, we all did except for Tre who ate the packet out of house and home. "God you were hungry." I smiled. "Yep." He said wiping his mouth then sighing with satisfaction. "Hey you wanna play bogies?"
"Play what?" Hilary said looking half disgusted, half puzzled.
"Oh it's easy, you just have to say bogies louder than the person who said it before, whoever can say it the loudest wins."
"Oh so we know who's going to win then." Billie said looking at me.
"O. K. Then," I said one eyebrow raised "how about you go first?" I said.
"You're on." He said.
"But you have to start of quite then get louder."
"Bogies." He whispered.
"Bogies." Tre said getting a little louder.
"Bogies." Lianne laughed. When it got to my turn I cleared my throat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for the loudest shout in history." I took a deep breath, everyone flinched. "Bogies." I whispered. "Ha you thought I was going to shout it didn't ya?"
"You had me fooled." Mike said.
"Yeah me too." Vikki added.
"My turn to pick something." Roxie interrupted. "How about truth, dare, love, kiss and promise." she said giving me a look.
"Sure, let's play." I said grabbing a cola bottle. "and we abolish truth and replace it with forfeit."
"There was a chorus of oooooooo's."
"So, who wants to go first at spinning?" Vikki asked.
"I'll go first." Billie said willingly. He spun the bottle, we all watched it nervously, it started to slow down and it landed on Tre, everyone looked at him. "Truth, dare, love kiss or promise Vikki said
"Um... I'll take dare." He said, confidently.
"O. K, I dare you to go and put ice down that fisherman's back." Billie smirked.
"O. K." Tre said trying not to laugh. He sniggered as he walked over to the fisherman, who was minding his own business. What was even funnier was that he wore a hat and sunglasses which looked like a really obvious disguise but he didn't want the guy to recognize him. Tre tiptoed over, and quickly ran back before the guy could realize who did it. He looked right us, we all looked away innocently. "That was sweet." Mike said laughing.
"Thank you, thank you very much." Tre said in an Elvis Presley voice.
"I'll spin it next." Hilary said. Again we watched nervously, it landed on Vikki.
"Oh my God." she said nervously.
"Take your pick." Hilary said.
"O. K., promise." she sighed.
"You have to promise that tomorrow, at the youth disco, when you pull someone, if you do that is, you have to tell us every single gory detail." Vikki looked at her uneasily "deal." she said after a long pause.
"Good."
"Right I'm volunteering to do a dare." Roxie said.
"Fair enough," Hilary said "Take your pick."
"I pick... Kiss." She said with a smile on her face. Everyone gasped. She wouldn't I thought. Hilary smiled knowingly "Roxie, you have to kiss Billie." She said slyly. He looked shocked. "Come here." Roxie said. Grabbing the back of his neck he leant in. Everyone's jaw dropped when, I looked in horror, Roxie is such a bitch I thought to myself, I felt like breaking into tears. Did it mean anything to him> I hope not. He was probably just going along with it, I continuously said to myself.
I looked at my watch, it was 9:35. "Oh, I've got to go, I'm meant to get back by 9:45." I said.
"Bye." everyone said, Roxie with a sly smile on her face. I gave Billie a look he looked down and pretended not to see me.
I walked of the beach hot tears rolling down my cheeks as I dawdled slowly back to the campsite.
I was walking with Hilary and Lianne. "Something wrong?" Hilary asked. "No, I'm fine." I mumbled.
"Fair enough." And before they could ask me more questions I caught up with Mike. "You think she had something better to do, don't you?" I said sneered.
