Before I left this morning to do my fishing,I asked Danny to ask Marhae if she would ...share a picnic basket alone at 'the spot' at the beach. 'The spot' is this 'spot' hidden between two piles of boulders. We climb over these boulders when no one looks, and we hang out in the  rather large clearing. Nobody ever goes there because the sand under the water of 'the spot' is covered with broken peices of shell...The land's elevated,so the waves don't really get yo us unless we're closer to the shore...Moving on. I didn't catch the fish, no I didn't..


So I get home this evening, at about,oh,say 2 in the afternoon ,and the first thing I hear is Marhae screaming like a banshee. In between her screams,I hear Daniel in the living room going ,"Yeah, younger days were good times. Condom was too small,she didn't wanna risk pregnancy,and I was so close. Yeah , youth -good times,good times..." Oh God , I wish I did not just hear Danny babbling on about his sexual misadventures! It's disturbing! Like this huge trail of clothes leading to Mae's room . I stood, leaning against her doorway in a cool manner,legs crossed,arms folded,staring at her with these darling golden brown eyes of mine. She squealed and threw a frilly black thingy at me. "What in the world do you have in your closet?!" Marhae slammed the door in my face and locked it. "That's not mine in your hands,it's Danny's!" I looked down at the thing in my hands to find a frilly undergarment.


...GAG... Whatever. I went to my room, and realized something. This something was that ' If Marhae was searching through her clothes in a panic and wanted me out right away,this must mean- Alrighty then, she said YEAAAH!!! Now I gotta celebrate!! I locked my door,turned the stereo on at full blast, and started flying around the room , jumping on the bed and making a mess,and screaming about my victory. I don't really care if anyone hears! I started rubbing the fact into my blue fluffy pillow,because this pillow wouldn't tell a soul any of my secrets! I'm having a great time- Until Danny barges in. I failed to recall that the lock is broken. Or that Danny has the key to all of the rooms...


He tells me to shut the BLEEP up,I turn off my stereo,and I take a 10 minute nap before..'that' happens. I woke up,took the picnic basket with the food already cooked from this morning (got up before everyone else for this! I have confidence! I knew she'd say yes!) Put it back into the fridge and took a shower. I sprayed myself with cologne,two sprays, not enough to make people dizzy from a yard away. I made my hair look close to presentable; It has to be slightly messy. I put my dude-lotion on. Yeah,dude-lotion. It comes with my cologne...And I put my special occassion clothes on. These are actually clothes that Marhae has a weakness for; A sleeveless collared shirt with verticals strpies at key areas to have a slimming effect,blue baggy pants, and black arm band things on my upper arm. And then I realized that I've always worn clothes like this...Mar actually told me when we were shopping for clothes last week that she had a weakness for the clothes I wear. If you clean up the language (Agh!! Look at that collared sleeveless tank top looking thing! And the pants! I love it! Wait,it's for guys?! EVEN BETTER!!!)


I love that kiddo. I guess I've calmed down a bit...I headed to the fountain once I realized I was 20 minutes late...and saw she wasn't anywhere there. I circled the fountain dozens of times, and she wasn't there.... I gave up and sat down on the ledge thing. I realized there was this sad girl in a purple and black plaid pleated skirt and a black tee with a purple strawberry on it that went very well together. She was bent over, elbows on her knees holding up her sad little face, which , by the way, was covered in her jet black hair.Very much like my slightly combed hair,brushing slightly againts theback of my neck.


Or like Marhae's hair. Or Danny's.


She was crying like crazy,and Iwas just sitting like a tree stump next to her. I'm in no mood to deal with some chick bawling .Haha...Bawl... I just yell at her with utmost annoyance, " Do you ever shut UP!?" and she hushed down, wiping at her eyes. Dammit, I'm such a -grr... I took one of the napkins from my picnic basket and handed it to her with this pissed off face. :So what's your deal?"


"M-My date stood me u-up..", her voice faultered. "Heh. Same story, but just a bit..." I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot I'm an idiot I'm an idiot . "Holy - oh , God, sorry Mae ! I didn't know what time it was, a-and-"


"Ugh, what does it even matter ?" , she walked away with that whole 'crushed spirit pout. All I did was watch her walk away,feeling like the jerk I honestly am. Shut up. I just tromped to 'the spot' , hanging my head a bit . I layed in the cold sand,shaded by the boulders all day. The sun was setting. And so was the metaphorical light in my souuulllll. And then Marhae was suddenly next to me, holding my hand in hers... Kill me please, I think I'm dreaming! Well...we ended up eating the food together , making jokes about mayonnaise and such just like we always do. We had a meaningful little conversation about the whole bully thing, and right when I was about to confess to her about how I felt, I heard singing. It shut me up in 2 seconds flat.

 
"Do you hear that, Mae?" , I asked her . She shook her head. " What're we listening for? Your heartbeat? That's super cheesy,Ururu. Ha!" Oh God, what was THAT?! "No, it's singing, don't you hear it ?" She shook her head again. "What are you..?" I pointed at the enormous tail fin appear and then slip away under the water in the distance. "Did you see it ?" "Did I see what?  I don't know what you're-" We were both staring out at the waves rolling back and forth ,I saw the fin flipping through the air then disappearing, getting closer and closer with each flip . "How can you not see it? It's there!" Marhae laughed,"I think you've had too much cake for one day,Ururu, maybe your imagination's going wild . Ha!" The singing stopped , and I chilled down a bit.


"Ever stare at the ocean and feel like your just a dot compared to it ? " Marhae nodded . " I always feel like this when ..I don't know, it just comes up whenever I stare at something for too long. " ha.. " Why am I saying this? idon't even know why..." Marhae got closer to me, taking my hand again. "You talk too much for your own good,Hazaru." Marhae, you'll never know, Marhae.. I got something I gotta get off my chest." She looked at me with those eyes of herrs. "I think...That since you guys took me in,after I met you , I've-" There was a scream ,this high , shrill scream that hurt my ears! It was worse than Marhae, it was worse than nails against a chalkboard, I think my ears started to bleed! "Augh!!Don't you hear it?! It's making my ears bleed!!" she shook her head, worried, "Uru, I don't know what you're talking about..." It kept getting louder, louder, louder!! " Go home! Go home!! You might-" If possible, it got worse by a thousand times. I covered my ears, but it were as though it were in my head...Screeching like millions of banshees killing me with sound. "Just go home! I don't want you..to get..." She ran off, crying. Oh please!


When the screaming finally stopped, my hands were covered in the blood from my ears...Not so much as I thought there was, but there was still a lot. My head felt like it was splitting, and my heart was pounding like mad. And I found myself , heading to the water to wash myself off. When something grabbed me, pulling me a bit into the water. My legs and stomach were soaked with sea water, and I could feel my sandals graze against the jagged shells and rocks. and Isaw a face slowly coming up from the water.Itwas a pale face, wet with water,hair in silver tangled curls. It was a girl, I only saw her from the head down to her torso,which,by the way, was nude and covered (in other words,'censored') by her long curls. She looked at me with this amused look,grey eyes taunting me. "Why, hello there, young sir! May I tell, what a beautiful night it is! Nice wheather we're having out here,hn?And I am so glad that pathetic excuse for a woman is gone. " And she did something unexpected,leaning down and giving me a light kiss on the lips.
