Ariel's POV
"Hey...you wanna bunk detention?"
I looked at him and narrowed my eyes in disbelief. Was this guy just going to ignore my question by asking another question?! I sighed. "And how do you expect us to do that?", I asked, narrowing my eyes even more, to the point where I could not even see his face clearly. He chuckled and nodded at a sleeping Mr.Smith. I grinned, and we both got up.

"What would you like to have?", an old waitress asked us. We were at Marco's ice cream parlor and honestly, I love ice cream and this was amazing. Grayson ordered some vanilla while I ordered strawberry. As soon as we placed our orders and the waitress walked away, we both stared at each other in horror. "Vanilla?! That's so....plain.", I said, horrified. "Strawberry?! Can you be more girly?!", he asked, looking at me as if I had 5 heads. I narrowed my eyes at him, and we began arguing about which flavor was better. "I like chocolate, it's a common favorite.", Grayson stated. "That's so cliche. I mean, everyone likes chocolate, there's nothing unique or special about it.", I argued. "Pistachio is nice. Nobody hates it, and it's not as mainstream as chocolate." Grayson widened his eyes in shock. "Ew ew ew. I think I need to gag.", Grayson said. I rolled my eyes at him. Pistachio flavored ice cream is honestly amazing.

I sat on the sand, staring at the sea. It was slightly windy and the wind ruffled my brown hair. I smiled wide at the feeling, licking my strawberry ice cream. Grayson was inside the local beachside shop, buying sunscreen. He walked out, holding a bag of popcorn in his hand as well. I frowned at him. Was he honestly gonna think I'd share? He sat down beside me and handed me the popcorn, while he applied sunscreen on his tanned legs and arms. I shoved a handful of the popcorn in my mouth. Grayson closed the bottle and looked at me, eyes wide in shock. I gave him a confused look and he snatched the popcorn away from me, stuffing as much as he could into his mouth. I snatched it back from him and we soon got in a friendly fight. I stuck my tongue out at him and suddenly got up and ran towards the street. I looked back and laughed loudly, until I realized that Grayson was nowhere to be seen. I looked around in confusion and sighed. At least I have the popcorn to myself. Suddenly, I felt someone hug me from behind and I whipped around to see Grayson, and before I could defend myself, or more importantly the popcorn, he snatched it away from me and shoved handfuls into his mouth. Then before I could do anything, he took off down the street, with me closely behind. I leaped forward and gave a war cry and jumped on him. He struggled to get me off, but I remained on his back, until he put the popcorn on the ground. I jumped off of him and took the popcorn, only to realize that the bag was empty. I glared at Grayson, who was laughing his popcorn-stealing ass off.

"We're here.", Grayson announced, once I had reached home. The day out was fun actually.

I got out of Grayson's black car and hugged him goodbye. Guess I have two friends, eh?
