And I, You

"I know I know" Lucas whispered. I relaxed into him, not being bothered to keep swimming "guys we're gonna get out!" Riley shouted from back where they were "he so likes her" Isadora said between the group, however we still heard.

I sat up from him and we just looked at each other "..I-I.." he stutters, unsure of what to say "just ignore them" I tell him. He nods with a smile and we swim back to them to meet up with them. I told him to ignore them because I didn't wanna talk about it, I don't even want to think about it.

We get back to the shore, wrapping ourselfs up in our towels "did you guys hear about that girl in school who wrote a whole bunch of notes to the guys she has liked throughout her life?" Sofia gossiped once we got comfy "mmomg yea I did! So embarrassing" Isadora replied while munching on a strawberry

I flattened my towel out and laid back "wait! Who too?" Riley asked "I got one" Lucas piped up from behind us "no way! What did you do with it?" Sofia asked. Lucas screwed his face up, "I threw it in the bin" he said with an obvious tone

"Imagine needing to write a note to get a boy to like you" I mumble "imagine getting a boy to like you at all" Lucas shot back. Funny, I thought. I mean considering all his friends think he likes me. "Imagine having time sleep with a whole bunch of girls to feel loved" I shot back.

He gave me a glare, "ooosh she got you good man" Zay chuckled. I smiled in achievement. "Sofia, can you help me with cheer?" Riley asked sitting up. Sofia agreed and got up with Riley, she spotted Riley to help her learn some basics, Riley failing each time.

"I can't bend that way" Riley groaned when doing a backbend. Sofia had her arm under Riley's back to help push her over, however, Riley still couldn't bring her feet off the ground to kick over. I laughed at her struggle "you could do better?" Farkle snarled from behind me

I looked back at Riley, then to Farkle "uh. Yea" I state obviously "no offence Riley's but that does look pretty easy" Isadora backed me up. "You try then" Lucas piped up, trying to get Isadora and I to try. Izzy and I gave each other a look, shrugging and standing up

We went over to Sofia and Riley "okay so you stand like this and then bend and the-" Sofia began to explain before being cut off by Isadora already bending back, touching the ground and then kicking her legs over "or just do it" Sofia laughed

"Your turn" Isadora gestured to me. I took my sunglasses off the top of my head, placing them over my eyes thinking that they would have less chance of falling off. I positioned my feet on the ground and in one swift motion I bent back, touched the floor, kicked my legs over and landed "how" Riley mumbled

I laughed, "I'm more talented then you think" I inform the group. Lucas smirked, " then do something harder" he said. I turned to Sofia to get directions on what to do "do a handspring, walkover, back bend, front flip and aerial" she challenged

"A what" I asked confused. Sofia demonstrated what to do, my jaw hit the ground "I can't do that" I tell the group "try. Give Us a show" Zach laughed. I took my glasses off, handing them to Isadora. I ran and jumped, doing the handspring, walkover, back bend and front flip. I paused before the aerial "I can't do this one" I shouted

"Go go go" Sofia shouted back. I covered my face with my hands, throwing myself down toward the sand, and landing on my feet "she did it!" Riley jumped excitedly "YAY MAYA" she screamed after, running toward me

She jumped onto me, knocking me straight into the ground, Isadora and Sofia close behind, jumping on top "argh" I groaned from the impact "PILE UP" Zay shouted "NO no no no don't you dare" I shout back, before I know it, Zay, Lucas, Farkle and Zach are all on top of me too

I cry of laughter from the pain of having them all on top of me "okay okay okay off" I call from below them "you guys ready to head home?" Zay asked once they'd all got off. I laid flat on the ground, actually, slightly below the ground from all their weight

"You comin?" Lucas asked. I huffed, sitting up from the ground and pushing myself up "Yea let's go" I mumble, heading toward the group. "Your legs looking sore" Farkle pointed out

"It feels sore" I reply, glancing down to my busted up leg from yesterday "I'm still sorry" Lucas mumbled, only loud enough for me to hear "Yea..yea" I reply back quietly.
