Disclaimer: Look, I'd like to start off my story happily.
Okay, this was supposed to be posted up yesterday, but anyways. Here it is.
Saturday
Oliver relished in the sound of his skateboard's wheels against the concrete. It was just becoming bright outside as the sun continued it's ascent. Oliver really had no idea why he had awoken so early. On a Saturday, nonetheless. It was the March Break, he should've been sleeping in, but no. Something made him want to get up early and hit the skate park. He focused his attention on the ramp up ahead as he gained speed. Up, up, he went. He put his strength into his feet as he flipped the board. What goes up, must come down. He kept his eyes open, feeling a bead of sweat trickle down his face.
BAM! Perfect landing. He chuckled to himself. What goes up, must come down. Probably the best he would ever do in physics. He whirled around at the sound of somebody clapping. Through his surprise, and his momentum, he lost his balance and fell backwards. He blinked as the clouds started to vibrate horribly. He vaguely heard somebody calling his name, and feet on the ground, nearing him.
"Oliver!" Oh. It was Miley. She was now shaking him. "Oliver! Are you okay?" Oliver groaned as he sat up. He was quite lucky as he was wearing his helmet. Although, his head still hurt, and Miley shaking him wasn't helping.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he muttered. He peered at her. "What are you doing here," he asked as he gestured around. Oliver highly doubted that Miley knew how to skateboard. She pulled an insulted face.
"You don't think I know how to skateboard?" She attempted to keep her face serious, but the corners of her mouth twitched. He rolled his eyes and smirked.
"Miley."
"Fine! I was just walking around. When I'm bored, I walk around the beach, and other places. I come by here to look for hot guys sometimes." Oliver raised his eyebrows. She looked at him. "What? You wanted to know."
"Yeah, yeah. So, see anybody you like?" Oliver put on his most egotistical face and puffed out his chest. She shoved him playfully. Him, still being dizzy, fell over again. She started poking him.
"Oliver? Are you still alive? Sorry about that. Didn't think you couldn't handle a shove from a girl." She stressed the word 'girl'. He sat up immediately.
"What?" He said indignantly. "I.. I just haven't eaten yet." Miley shrugged as she picked up his skateboard. She fiddled with the wheels. A sudden thought came to her mind.
"Hey! Oliver, could you teach me how to skateboard?" Oliver looked up incredulously. Miley, skateboarding?
"Are you serious? Me? With you?"
"Well, yeah. We could get Lilly too, I mean she's good too, right?" Oliver felt an unknown sense of disappointment wash over him. He shook it off.
"I guess I could. Since we have the whole March Break, wanna start on Monday?" She nodded eagerly and gave him a short hug. As he hugged her back, he felt as if he never wanted to let go. He let her go, but rested on hand on her back. She didn't seem to mind.
"Come on, my dad should be up by now. We'll catch some breakfast." He nodded, but then thought about something.
"Uh, could we drop by the beach? I want to see something." She looked curious, but agreed anyways. They walked in silence to the beach. Miley was still carrying his skateboard under her arm, and he mused on how adorable she looked. He tried to snap himself out of his daze as he berated himself for thinking about her that way. They reached the beach, just as the sun was rising. Miley looked around.
"What do you want to see?"
"This." She looked surprised.
"You? Sunrise?" Oliver nodded.
"Yeah. You know, Miles, guys are sentimental too." She remained silent and sat down on the sand. He watched her gaze at the horizon for a little while until he sat down next to her.
"This is beautiful." Oliver looked at her. There was a slight wind and little strands of her hair blew into her face. She tucked them behind her ear, and he found himself desperately wanting to do it for her. The orange-pinkish light of the sun made her have some form of glowyness. It was like something out of a movie. His mouth was moving, but his brain payed no heed.
"Yes, she is." She turned to him.
"She?" Oliver panicked as he realized what he said.
"Uh.. Well, you know.. nouns have genders too." Miley looked at him strangely, but she seemed to buy it. She looked at her watch, and jumped up, startled.
"Hey, if we're going to want to catch something to eat, we better get going." She helped him up, and dashed off. She was quite far away when she turned around and grinned at him. "Come on! Catch me." She took off again, and he smiled to himself as he took off after her. He really did like her, but they did always have a lot of fun as friends. Would things be different if they started dating? He shook himself as he focused on living for the moment. He chased her until her house, reaching the front door, where he wrapped his arms around her waist, spinning her around. She giggled, and he could've sworn he had a heart attack. She spun around, punching his shoulder playfully, and he pretended like it hurt. That moment, that followed, was one that Oliver would never forget. He still had his hands on her waist, and her hand still rested on his shoulder. Their eyes met, and he felt as if some sort of force was slowly pushing them closer together. Their lips were inches from each others, when they were interrupted by a distraction in the form of Lilly.
"Hey guys, what-," Lilly paused. Her eyes darted between the two, who looked as surprised as she did. Oliver's hands flew up in the air, and they sprung apart. Miley was the first to speak.
"Lilly! Hi!" Her voice was unnaturally high. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, you told me to come over today. Breakfast or something, then we'd spend the day together, then we'd have a sleepover," Lilly eyed Oliver. "But I see you had other plans," she added with a hint of humour in her voice. Oliver jumped in before things got really awkward.
"So, Lilly. Miley wants to learn how to skateboard. Wanna teach her with me?" Lilly looked surprised, then Oliver noticed that she got a very knowing look on her face. He paled.
"Well.. I'm gonna be kinda busy during the March Break..." Lilly grinned at Oliver. "Looks like it's just you two." With that she skipped into Miley's house, leaving Oliver and Miley standing outside. Miley mumbled something about going inside and she too left Oliver standing outside with his thoughts. He wasn't really sure what to think about that. He was torn between happy and nervous. Happy because he was going to be alone with Miley, and nervous because he was going to be alone with Miley. He sighed as he walked into the house, the smell of food finally drawing him in.
This was going to be a sadtastic march break.
Haha, I watched Juno. Random, but it was really funny. :D
