When we reached at the beach, the sky had already turn dark, and there were three bright stars can be seen already. Ryan and I sit on a bench that was facing the sea. He put his right arm on my shoulder and turns to me.

"I'd never been this happy all my life. With you in my arms, I know that all my dreams will come true," he said in low sweet voice.
His eyes were burning brighter, I feel like telling him that I love him as a friend and not a lover. But the look in his eyes made the words stuck in my trough.

"I never feel so much love before. I love you more than myself," he said again. The way he said those words, it almost made me want to cry. What if he knows the true about my feeling towards him?
He was looking deeply into my eyes now.
"But," before I could say anything, he shut my mouth by kissing me. He drew me closer to him, and I can feel his hard chest. His arms were holding me tightly and lovingly. I put my hands around his neck. I wanted to love him like a lover, but I can’t. And when I kiss him, I don't feel anything. I can feel it when I kissed Alex that time. Oh God, please forgive me. Tears began to fill my eyes. I've to stop this, I told myself.

I pulled myself away from him. He looked puzzled, and I can see pain in his eyes. I can't hold back the tears anymore, and I let it flow.
"Sara? Why? What happen? Are you sick?" he asked me. He looked scared.
"Nothing, just hug me," I said. He hugged me, and presses my head to his chest.
"I'm here, please stop crying, it really hurt me to see you cry. I never see you sad before," he said in comforting voice.
"Maybe we should just go home," he said.
"No, I just wanna sit here for a while," I said and wipe the tears on my cheek with the back of my hand.

I woke up the next morning with the sunshine on my face. Today is Saturday, I pushed away the cover and sat on the edge of the bed. Then I remember what happened yesterday.
"I must have looked pathetic," I said to myself. I stood up and dragged myself to the bathroom.
When I just got out from the bathroom, the telephone rang. I quickly picked it up.

"Hello Sara, good morning. Do you want to join us? We wanna go camping at Shore Shine Island," Ally said. Shore Shine Island is not far away from here. It is just one-hour journey from here.
"I don't know. I've to ask my parents first," I said.
"I've already asked your parents, and they said you can go," Ally said in her excited voice.
"Oh, okay. Then I've to pack my things," I answered back shortly.
"We'll pick you up at ten," Ally said and hung up.
I glance at the clock.
"It's nine already!" I said. I quickly put on my shirt and jean. When I am packing up my clothes, there was a knock on the door.
"Sara, it's me," mom said. "Come in," I said.

"Your father sent his love to you. He wants you to be careful. Will you promise me to take good care of yourself?" mom asked.

"Of course mom, I promise," I said. I have finished packing up my thing. Mom sit on my bed, she looked a bit worry. I sit beside her and took her hands.
"Mom, if you don't want me to go. I'll stay," I told her. She touched my head and said, "No honey. I want you to go."
"Sara!" that was Ally.
"I think you better go now. And have fun," mom said and kissed my head. We went downstairs together.
"I promise you, I'll take good care of myself," after kissed her I went out. I can see that Alex is in the car, Ryan came to me and took my bag.
"Bye Mrs. Richardson," Ryan said.
"Don’t worry, we'll take care of her," Ally said.

Keith is the driver, Ryan sit in front, while Ally and I sit at the back.
"This is going to be fun, trust me," Alex said. I really miss his voice, I said to myself.
"Sara, wake up. We are in front of Alex's summer house," Ally shook me. I must have fallen asleep.
I got out from the car and looked around. This is wonderful; the sea is just a few feet away from the house. As for the house, it looks comfortable and welcoming.
"This is wonderful!" Ally said.
I went to the butt of the car to carry my bag out.
"Let me carry this for you," Ryan said and took the bag away from me.

"Thanks," I said.
"'Comon guys, let me show where your rooms are," Alex said looking out the window.
