'Idiot'

Chapter 2

The date was the 22nd of August. It was the last full day on holiday there and I was thinking about how all my friends were expecting me to come back with somebody. So as I saw the guy walking up towards the toilets at the top of the beach, I followed him. I thought why not, because my best friend was begging me to go and talk to him to prove I had confidence, but I said I would only go if my sister came with me, but she wouldn't so i thought, I will prove everyone wrong, I will prove to everyone i'm not scared (even though my heart was pounding so fast).

So I got up and walked up the beach to the start of the hill towards the toilets. As I was walking up I kept my head down trying to calm my nerves but my mouth was so dry and my heart was beating so fast. I hadn't spoken to a new guy in so long, I had no experience whatsoever. Out of the corner of my eye I saw these red shorts coming towards me (the shorts he wore almost every day) and my heart felt like it was going to explode. As I got closer and closer I found myself thinking, no I cant do this, but another part of me was saying I had to.

We got within touching distance and I looked up and he said 'I keep seeing you everywhere' I had to stop and figure out if he was actually talking to me. I realised he was, so I just said oh sorry, or something along those lines (I felt mortified at this point!). Then to my surprise he said 'do you want to go on a walk with me?' I obviously said yes.
