I didn't mind taking Bella. It was the least I could do since Lucas paid for us to get in and gave me more than enough cash to get some food and souvenirs. Right now we are trying to find our sizes for our swimwear.
"Have you ever rode with dolphins?" Bella asked me
"Nope, this will be my first time." I said gratefully
"Oh, well I've swam with dolphins tons of times there's nothing to it." she proclaimed
"Thanks, that'll help with my nerves." I replied
Bella just sighed and then out of nowhere was asking me questions left and right.
"So, where is Luna from?" she asked
"Uh she's from up." I hesitated
"Up? What does that even mean?" she questioned
"You know she's from up north… at least I'm pretty sure." I stuttered
I wonder why she's so curious. It's time for me to figure out a few things.
"So why are you so curious about Luna?" I asked
"Because my brother is dating her. We all know they're soulmates. I want to know everything about Luna so I don't have to question her when they're trying to plan out their wedding." she claimed
"Aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself? Luna is so young this is her first relationship she needs to shop around." I declared
"Well well are you saying somewhere there's a guy better than my brother for Luna?" she questioned sharply
"I didn't mean it like that." I responded
"I thought so." she said smiling
"Do you two ladies need help?" a guy asked
"We can manage." I announced
"No, we can't, we're clueless." Bella noted
"It's no worries I'm more than happy to help out." he winked
"I thought you've done this before?" I whispered to Bella
"I lied." she mouthed
That little devil.
"So what's your name?" he asked me
"I don't see how this has to do with finding us swimwear." I said raising an eyebrow
"Can't I make conversation?" he questioned
I just nodded.
"Well then what's your name?" he asked
"My name is Madison." I replied
"That's a pretty name." he said
"What's your name?" I asked back, not even thanking him for the compliment.
"My name is Dylan." he said
I had an instant flashback. I was in preschool holding hands with a boy also named Dylan. Dylan was my first crush.
"Madison, hello!" Bella yelled
"What?" I asked confused
"Did you not hear anything Dylan asked you?" she asked
"Oh sorry, I was just… thinking." I stammered embarrassedly
"No worries, I was just saying I need to know your height." he said shyly
"Oh I'm not sure how tall I am." I replied
"It's okay just come here." he said
I took his hand and he directed me to a dolphin statue. I instantly let go of his hand when I noticed my cheeks burning.
"How will this help?" I asked
"I know how tall the dolphin is it's a quick estimate." he grinned
He smiled as I stood in front of the statue.
"What are you smiling at?" I asked
"Your shorter than my older sister." he laughed
"I don't even know your sister." I said
"You will." he said
I wonder what he meant by that. I followed him back to where Bella was but this time didn't hold his hand.
"I'm going to get your supplies so stay right here." he ordered
"So what do you think of the hunk?" she asked me
"He's nice." I sighed
"What's so wrong with that?" she asked
"It's just difficult.." I responded
Dylan came back with two suits.
"How do you know if that other suit will fit her?" I asked him pointing to Bella
"My name's Bella." she declared
"Kids are one size usually fits all." he grinned
After we changed, I was looking at the mirror.
"You look good if that's what you're worried about." Bella said smiling
I didn't respond. I just walked out of the restroom and saw a girl staring at me. Boy, was she something I thought Luna was the prettiest girl in the world and was jealous of her but no way. This girl had freckles sprinkled on her cheeks and had the most beautiful neon green eyes. She wore her blond hair messy.
"Why are you holding me up?" Bella asked me
"Oh sorry." I said
The girl walked over to our direction. I felt as if I was going to die. My hands and knees were shaking.
"Hey, I'm going to be the one instructing and supervising you two with the dolphins." she smiled
"Well let's go! I want to see the dolphins. I'm sure Lucas and Luna are having so much fun it's our turn."
I just nodded my head as my heart was skipping beats.
"So what's your name?" I asked the girl
"My name is Shira." she said smiling
"That's a very unusual name." I commented
"Glad you like it, my mother named me and my brother after the sea." she replied
"That's so cool." I said
"Dylan doesn't really think so." she laughed
"Dylan's your brother?" I asked
"Yep I'm older but people could swear that he's much older than me." she declared
I just nodded. How awkward the boy who was trying to flirt with me is the brother of the girl I'm trying to flirt with. Oh no. This is so weird.
"I have something to say." Bella said
We both turned around to Bella.
"Yes?" I asked
"I saw my mom. She must be following us. Come on Madison we got to go after her!" she shouted
I didn't know what to do but I did want to escape this whole situation with Shira and Dylan especially if he was waiting for us by the dolphins.
"Coming!" I shouted
"Hey, aren't you going to swim with the dolphins?" Shira asked
"No, we have bigger plans." I said walking away
"You have to return the swimwear." I heard Shira say
"Will do." I called back
"Thanks for believing me Madison." Bella said
"No problem." I explained
I followed Bella but the whole thing was a bust.
"I was sure it was her." she said in tears
