If that’s an inlet, I’m gonnae have tae swing wide and come at it from dead ahead. If I try tae come about too close, we’ll scrape those trees. ...’ll need ye tae reef-spot for me.”Will nodded and was about to reply when he noticed Bella. She gave them a small, tired wave.“How are you holding up?” Will asked, looking concerned.“Not a scratch on me,” Bella shrugged. She looked down at her bloody clothes. “I’m just tired and need to get cleaned up.”“I think the whole ship would agree with you,”. She was the girl next door, literally. Ok. Around the corner, but you get the point. She was a year older, and a grade above me. So I didn’t have any classes with her, but I would see her between classes from time to time.My name is Eric. I would be that tall, skinny, shaggy-haired kid that no one paid any mind to. And honestly, I didn’t mind that at all. Except when it came to Kristen.She was that popular cheerleader, that knew everyone. Except me. And why would she? She was at the opposite. Then I asked her to take a trail in the trail room. Since there are very less people in that shopping mall she asked me to wait me before the trail room. I was waiting at the outside of trail room. It was very late she didn’t come outside from a long time.Me: baby was it over.She: yeah baby! Was there anyone near the trail room?Me: no!After a few seconds in asked why? Then suddenly she opened the door pulled me inside.Me(in shock): what!!She without saying a word started to kiss me. But that. I would try to throw, but at three itdidn't go far.My father and I would play together everyday, teaching me how to kick asoccer ball properly, throw a baseball with accuracy, pass a football ina perfect spiral and how to be a real boy. Obviously these lessons wenton for years so my game with Mom really didn't affect me one way or theother. It was just a game she played with her little boy with longlashes.We started camping when I was five. Dad was in his element and couldn'twait to teach me.
