Chapter 77

"Brandon, take care of this woman. I'm going to get the other two." Louise said as a girl sat on a mat.

"Yes sir!" Brandon said.

"So, are you a high school student?" The girl said.

"Yes. But, why would you go inside the water if you couldn't swim? You could have drowned." Brandon said as he applied an ointment on her scraped elbow.

"Well...That was..." She said.

"Obviously so that you and Louise would come and save her and she gets a chance to talk to you." MJ said from the top of a bathroom's roof.

"Huh?" The girl said.

"Hi MJ" Brandon said as he smiled at MJ.

"GET OUT! YOU PERVERT!!" A girl said as she got on the roof and kicked him down the roof.

"AGH!!!" He shouted and fell on the umbrella which gently bent and placed him on a chair.

He picked up the sunglasses and coconut milk glass lying beside it and said "I'm so thug-ish that I sometimes fear if I fall for myself! What will all the thirsty girls out there do without me?" MJ said.

"They'll just drink some water and get going." Louise said.

"Why are you here, anyways?" Brandon said.

"I'm here to help you guys." MJ said and walked towards the girl.

"Hello miss, this guy is gay and that one is violent, so let me escort you." MJ said with a smile.

"Well...You're not that bad looking" She said.

"And here he goes....Picking girls on the beach." Brandon said as he stood beside Louise.

"Let's sit there." MJ said, pointing towards a fold couch lying on the beach.

"Is that a fold couch? This guy bringing a friggin' fold couch to the beach is the definition of a boss." Brandon said.

"Don't be surprised at whatever he does, no matter how weird it gets." Louise said as he smoked a cigarette.

"Hey MJ, let's get a motorboat!" Brandon said as he ran towards MJ.

"So, what is that?" Anna said as she looked at a weird, grey colored dish inside a restaurant which was just behind the lifeguard's poll.

"It's an Australian delicacy. Would you like to try some, miss?" The manager said.

"Un...Yes....why not." Anna said.

He poured the dish inside a bowl and passed it to her.

"You've been acting weird lately, is everything okay?" Jaden said.

"....It's actually…not okay" Harry said as he clenched his fist.

"If that's so, then tell me what's wrong." Jaden said with a smile "Maybe if we work together on it, we can fix it"

'I don't think you'll keep this smile after what I'm about to say' Harry thought.

He took a deep breath, and as his cheeks turned pink, he raised his head and looked through his brown bangs, with his emerald green eyes straight into Jaden's eyes. He said...

"Jaden... I love you..."

Jaden looked at Harry as if knocked down with a feather. His face looked shaken up and his mouth was speechless.

Harry noticed this mood change and said with a smile "...Is what Sylvia Jordan asked me to tell you while giving me the letter."

"Uh...Oh! Yeah! Sylvia...." Jaden said as he brushed his hair and laughed nervously.

"You got me speechless for a moment there." Jaden said.

"What? You thought I'd ever confess to you?" Harry said and started laughing.

"Ha ha, I may like her too..." Jaden said as he looked at the binoculars.

"That's awesome! You both should start dating already, you'll be like- the perfect couple of Kerlin County High." Harry said.

"Ha ha… It's nothing like that" Jaden said.

"AW! LOOK AT YOU BLUSH!! YOU LIKE HER, DON'T YOU?!" Harry said as he tucked Jaden's stomach.

"Anyways, I'm going to check on Kate. God knows what he's doing." Harry said and walked down the stairs.

He ran towards the bathroom and banged his head on the stall.

"Un....What are you doing?" Kate said as he stood behind him.

"Clearing my head." Harry said.

"On a toilet's stall? Irony to its finest, man!" Kate said.

"......."

"Hey come on, let's go to Brandon and the others." Kate said as he pulled Harry's arm.

Harry turned towards him. His eyes were filled with tears and his face was red.

"HARRY? ARE YOU CRYING?!" Kate shouted.

"No *Sniff* I'm fine, really." Harry said as he wiped his face with his hands.

"You don't look fine." Kate said.

Harry hugged Kate and said "I think…I got rejected again…but this time...it hurts so bad I can't hold my tears anymore!"

Kate pressed his hands on Harry's back and Harry hugged him tighter as he burst into tears.

"Harry-"

"Ah!" Ralf Kaise said as he stood at the bathroom's door.

Now this was the situation.....

Two guys are standing inside the bathroom, half dressed and hugging each other tightly, pressing their bodies together.

One of them was crying....

"........"

".....*Sniff* *Sniff*....."

".....….Nice shorts bro" Ralf said and walked out of the bathroom.

".....Harry.....Guess we should go somewhere more private....." Kate said.

'Jaden, I love you' Harry's words resounded in Jaden's head as he looked through the binoculars.

He kept the binoculars aside and looked at the ocean.

He was almost lost by looking at the horizon when suddenly he saw a small disturbance in the water.

"What is that?" He said as he picked up the binoculars and saw a motorboat sailing through the waves.

"WOHOOO!!!!" MJ shouted as he and Brandon sailed through the waves at full speed, they were both wearing sunglasses.

"How does it feel?" MJ asked Brandon.

"It's awesome! But, why have we brought a vodka bottle and a surfboard with us?" Brandon said.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." MJ said he got up.

"Here, you steer for a while now." MJ said as he picked up the surfboard and the vodka bottle.

"Are you gonna drink?" Brandon said.

"I'm gonna try something even better." MJ said as he threw the surfboard on the waves and jumped on it with the vodka bottle in his hand.

"Oh....cool!!" Brandon said.

"I know right" MJ said.

"MJ!! A SHARK!!!" Brandon shouted as he looked beside MJ.

MJ ignored the shark and started drinking the vodka.

Suddenly, a super badass music started playing in the background.

"Is that God's signal that we are gonna die?" Brandon said.

"No, it's my phone." MJ said as he picked up the phone.

"Hello?" MJ said.

"MJ. Mind explaining HOW your step brother got on the beach?" Louise said while picking up Ralf in the air.

"You found him? Mom told me to take him to the beach too. So, I just threw him inside the trunk and decided to pick you up on the way." MJ said.

"You are such a heartless b*stard." Louise said.

"What?" MJ said and suddenly lost his balance. He fell inside the water.

"MJ!!!!!!" Brandon shouted as slowly the water around him turned red.

"MJ!!!!!!!!"
