     Lyra came barging into our room at ten o'clock this morning yelling for us all to wake
up. "We need to get good spots on the beach! Get up!" She yelled. Gold threw his pillow
at her, but unfortunately missed. I groggily got out of bed and shook Green awake. The
boy is a heavy sleeper, he didn't hear a thing. "Wake up, we gotta go to the beach." I said
with a yawn. Green sat up and rubbed his eyes.

When it was my turn, I changed into my swim trunks and a shirt in the bathroom.
While I was waiting for everyone else to finish changing, I packed my fanny pack. Yes, I
have a fanny pack. After years of living in Alola, you find it necessary to use one. Leaf
has one as well. I put my sunblock, phone, and snacks in my pack.

The beach that we will be staying at is magnificent. There are really nice beach chairs
that you can rent, like the ones with a canopy. I'll be renting one to help prevent me
from getting sunburned. We all claimed our spots and got settled before doing our own
things. The girls dragged Paul to the shore line and forced him to take pictures of them
altogether. That used to be my job in Alola when Leaf and Rosa wanted a million
pictures taken of them. I'm just glad that I don't have to do it anymore. Gold went off to
find something to eat and Silver was under the canopy with me. I started to panic when
I didn't see Green anywhere. Did he get lost?! I frantically searched for him until Silver
noticed how uncomfortable I looked. "Green is literally right in front of you. Look, he's
fishing." Silver said while pointing to Green. I nearly fainted when I looked at him.
Green is wearing his swim team shorts! They are wayyyy tighter than just any pair of
swim trunks, these display his ass so well that I had to force myself to look away, I
might get weird thoughts if I kept staring at him. Green is hot! I hesitantly took out my
sunblock and lathered myself with the sun protectant. I was too focused with lathering
it on me and not looking at Green that I didn't even notice him walk towards me. "Hi
Red!" Green said, right behind me. Dammit! I can't look at him right now! He's too sexy
in those shorts. "You've applied too much sun screen, let me help you." He said as he sat
down next to me and rubbed the sunblock onto me. My skin tingled the entire time he
grazed my skin. He rubbed it onto my lower back and stroked my sides. I had to think
about the horrible way a Gloom smells to force myself to not get even more turned on
than I already am. "Are you okay Red? You keep tensing up." Green asked. "It's, uh,
nothing!" I laughed. I started sweating, I don't even know why I am acting like this.
Why can't I control myself! I can't push him down and start kissing him since Silver is
right beside us. Luckily for me, I saw Leaf walking back to our spot. Something is wrong
though, she's stomping and has an angry scowl on her face. "What's wrong Leaf?" Green
asked. He was no longer applying the sunscreen onto me, Leaf basically has saved me
from a lot of trouble. "I can't believe her! Who does she think she is trying to steal away
my man!? I'll show her!" Leaf ranted. "Woah woah wait, what happened?" I asked.
"That Platinum bitch is also at this beach and is ogling all over Paul!" She furiously
explained. Silver sat up and took out his ear buds to see what was happening. "Why
would she do that?" Green asked. "She dated Paul last year and since she hates me she
wants to make me jealous!" She said as she sat down next to me. "Where's the others?"
Silver asked. "Paul is with that bitch and Lyra and Crystal are trying to stop her from
stealing him." She explained. Leaf had a scowl on her face, but her eyes showed that she
was hurt. "Why would they stay with her?" Silver asked. "Paul doesn't know how to tell
people to piss off and the girls are keeping an eye on her from doing anything she'll
regret. I had to come back over here to prevent myself from ripping her head off!" Leaf
said with a whimper. We were all silent, watching Leaf. We could tell she was forcing
herself not to cry, but it happened anyway. The tears just flowed out from her green
eyes. I put my arms around her to comfort her. "I just want to be happy with my
boyfriend. Why does stuff like this always happen to me." She cried. I held onto her,
feeling guilty. I helped ruin her last relationship, so those words struck my heart. Green
was silent until now. "I'll get her to stop, trust me." Green said as he gave her a small
hug. Right after, a grimacing scowl formed onto his face. He stood up and started to
aggressively walk towards where Platinum was. The rest of us hesitantly stood up and
followed Green. I've seen him mad before, so I don't know what he will do.

Green took a sharp left turn and walked to Platinum's beach chair. We saw that she
was laying down, absorbing the sun and Paul was sitting next to her on the sand. Lyra
and Crystal were watching them from the other side of Platinum's chair. "What the hell
do you think you two are doing?!" Green yelled. This startled Leaf, so I held onto her
hand. "Excuse me?" Platinum asked, tilting her sunglasses down to see Green. "What
the hell gives you the right to swoop in on someone else's boyfriend?!" He yelled once
again. "Swoop in? Please, Paulie here has been wrapped around my finger since last
year. He was only dating Leaf to make me jealous. He never loved her." She explained
with this awful smile on her face. Leaf was crying even harder now. "Don't say that!
You're just trying to upset her." Green said while balling up his fist. "Maybe, but maybe
not. She took my man from me, so I'm just taking him back." Platinum said, with the
same smile. I glanced over at Paul. He had his usual expression on his face. He's not
trying to defend Leaf! Does he actually still like Platinum?! "Why aren't you saying
anything, Paul!" Leaf yelled while crying. "I only went out with you to make Platinum
jealous. We've been secretly dating for about two months now. So, we're done Leaf."
Paul harshly said. I could feel Leaf's heart shatter. She started sobbing into my chest.
None of us spoke. I would have never thought that Paul would do something so terrible
to Leaf. He's a bigger piece of shit than Blue! And that's saying something! Leaf did
nothing to deserve this. She is the sweetest girl I know. She deserves so much more than
what has happened this year. "Well, we should be going now. Bye." Platinum said while
gathering her stuff. I could see Green trembling with rage. "You son of a bitch!" Green
yelled as he grabbed Paul by the shoulder and punched him straight into the jaw. Paul
stumbled and fell onto the sand. He held his jaw and spit out blood. "How dare you!
You'll be hearing from the police!" Platinum yelled as she managed to help Paul get up
and walk away from us. Green didn't even flinch, he still had rage in his eyes. Leaf was
crying even harder now. "How could he!?" Leaf cried. I held onto her. The poor girl
hasn't been this hurt since Dad got rid of her Bulbasaur. "It's okay Leaf! He doesn't
deserve you anyway!" Lyra said, attempting to cheer her up. "Come on, let's go back to
the hotel." Crystal said. Leaf nodded her head and followed us all back to where my
canopy had been. We found Gold laying down, eating an assortment of food. "Hey guys!
I got us something to eat if anyone's hungry!" He cheerfully yelled. "What's up with all
of the sad faces? We're at the beach for petes sake!" He said. "Stop it Gold." Silver
sternly said. Gold frowned until he glanced at Leaf. His eyes widened and he knew
something was wrong, but remained quiet. We gathered our belongings and started to
walk back to the hotel. I kept thinking about how angry Green had gotten at them. He's
not even Leaf's boyfriend, but he was fuming mad. I was mad as well, but not mad
enough to fight them. Maybe Green has a soft spot for those situations. Oh shit. My
heart shattered when that thought crossed my mind. He does have a soft spot for
cheating. It's my fault. That's why Green snapped and punched the guy. He feels bad for
Leaf, he's been through the same thing.
