As the Days went by, school became more funky and cool with Sandra and Louis around. Our bond grew stronger, we hosted home parties, had "sleep overs", went for movie nights and sat outside to star gaze. Sunday was here, we planned a beach outing. I was upstairs still packing some stuff up when Louis honked. I hurriedly carried my stuff down stairs and bade Mom and Dad farewell.

I sat at my usual spot and apologized for delay. Louis responded nicely and kept up driving. I noticed Sandra was all cloudy so I curiously asked her what the matter was. she just stared blankly as though I never said a thing. I could see her face through the rearview mirror, her eyes were somewhat watery and her face-it looked like she was holding sum' up. Something she found hard to spill out. I was bothered, but what bothered me more was the fact that Louis didn't seem to care. Okay that's one of his flaws... He's the kind of "idaf" person. Watching how Louis carefully drove as though everything was cool, and Sandra with head bowed like she was going through some tough shit, I took out my phone to check the gram- my fav app anyways. As I scrolled through, I saw a post and trolls about Sandra. I paused.. "was this the reason for Sandra's behavior? " I muttered. I continued scrolling and it was sad frl. I couldn't say or do anything or even judge Sandra at the moment because by the way, what the f*ck! I'm just a newbie. I wore my ear pods and played a soft cool music as I stared out the window watching the beautifully structured city.

 Louis halted the car. "We've arrived" he said, as he smiled at me and stepped out to pack out stufff from the boot. I couldn't understand the drama that was up. Because as Friends isn't Louis supposed to be consoling Sandra? But he was doing vice. Anyways Sandra didn't seem to care, so why should I cry more than the berieved?. I alighted and stretched out my hands as I felt the warmmm summer breeze blowing over me. Louis created a spot for us. He packed all the things so orderly and moved towards the sea. I sat at our spot taking some selfies. Ps; Sandra was still in the car. "Heyyyy" a young guy said as he walked up to me "I can see you're having a great time" godammm I was dumb founded...

He was tall, got that striking amber eyes, dark brown straight hair, straight jaw lines, pointed nose, full body built and honestly a 10. "Heyy!! He repeated, waving his hands over my face . I shook "urhmmm.. oh heyy" from the way I answered, it was Soo clear I was nervous -that kind of nervous 😝. I guess it was evident I was day dreaming. He sat softly close to me. Omg his scent, his hairy body, and clear skin got me as my eyes darted over his body like I was looking for sum'. "I'm Liam" he broke the silence. "I'm Maila- Mai" I said with a soft smile. "You're the new girl huh? You're cool. Been seeing you lately with Louis and San, your friends I guess? " Yes, my friends" I answered confidently, " oh I thought as much, Soo why you sitted here all by yourself, where's San?, he asked, haven't seen her out yet"... I didn't know what to say... Has he seen the post? Does he know she's prolly shying away? " Urhmm" I cleared my throat "she's a bit car sick, so urhm she'll stay in the car for a while" Liam looked at me with doubt, like he knew I was lying. I was uncomfortable fr so urhm I had to break the silence "you've been here since lev1?" I asked. I mean I already knew the answer of course yes but I just needed to bring up a topic real quick "yes" he answered softly "this is my home town remember? I'm an old guy here" he chuckled.
