away to jump in the water.
She watched after him longingly before sitting down, arranging her suit and stomach to show the least amount of fat. As if she could look fat if she tried. Squinting against the sun she turned to me “thanks for meeting me here, you too Noah”.
“ Mmhhmm” Noah still had his eyes covered with his arm and seemed almost asleep. That gave me the chance to really admire his body: long, lean, perfectly tanned, and quickly drying. Lindsey snapped me back to reality by asking about my first day of school. Sean ran out of the water just then and charged up to us and started shaking water off him like a dog, getting both of us wet. Lindsey shrieked, jumped to her feet and started chasing him down the beach which left me and Noah alone again.
I looked around; the beach was nice, hidden. It was not too long and to enter or leave you had to trek through a worn path in some woods to the small parking lot. The trees sloped up to a pretty significant cliff that dropped off on the ocean side.
Lindsey and Sean were now farther away, both splashing in the water laughing. I grinned at them again and rolled onto my stomach and sighed, which Noah heard and acknowledged by rolling over as well.
“ Have you started to remember anything?“ he asked softly. He caught me off guard and I suppose my surprise showed because he quickly said “No, I didn't mean… I just meant if you want to talk about it…”
I shook my head. I hated lying to everyone. I guess that helped him believe the sad expression on my face when I replied “no, not yet.” We sat there silently for awhile, him pitying me, I was sure and me picking at sand and trying to think of something to say to erase my guilt over lying to him.
After both being lost in our own thoughts for awhile, Lindsey ran over. Breathlessly she looked down at me “Come on Blue, Sean and I want to see how you do on a surfboard.”
I grinned and looked over at Noah questioningly. He just shook his head and smiled. I shrugged and jumped to my feet, anxious to try my luck at the waves. It looked about as freeing as one could get in a clumsy human body.
“ Are things heating up with you and Noah?” She asked as we walked over to where Sean was waiting.
“ Not as much as you and Sean” I whispered since we were getting within hearing range of him and nudged her. The look on her face of my reminder made her almost squirm with excitement. I was reminded of him and Stacey at school, and I suppose it was obvious because she noticed my change in mood. “What?”
“ I was just wondering; Sean and Stacey were acting kind of weirdly to each other in class today”.
“ Yeah, they’re funny right? They are both really competitive and always going head to head for something or other. This year its valedictorian, last year it was class president”.
“ Really?” I was surprised. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised by anything these days, I just wouldn’t have taken Stacey to be a brain, which sounds really judgmental but I don’t mean it like that. I should have at least noticed she was extra smart since she was in my honors class after all.
“ Uh, huh, just wait, they get really cut throat after the winter break, it’s like they’ve recharged and come back to tackle their goal and each other with fresh fervor”.
After I got a brief surfing lesson and demonstration, she let me loose with an extra board. I couldn’t get to my feet the first few waves which was frustrating for me, everything so far in my life has come pretty easily to me. On the fourth wave though, I got up. I was down again pretty quickly but before going under the water I heard Lindsey and the guy’s cheers and I grinned. That was amazing! I was instantly in love with the sport, and once they gained their confidence in me on shore, they came to join me with their boards and we all played and laughed for an hour or so until my
