Chapter 9: Two new faces



Will's P.O.V.

I don't swim away this time and stay put. I notice another figure in the background. It's a male with brown hair while wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt. He's slowly walking towards us, probably just going to have a chat since I don't see anyone else here. Maybe they know each other, maybe not, how should I know anyway? (I don't think they know each other) He's a little far away from us so I assume it'll take a minute or two before he reaches us. "Umm... Excuse me, why are you out swimming? I mean, it's a little late to be swimming right now. Unless maybe you've been out here for a long time?" The guy who was fishing asks. "I don't be see how that's any of your business. I don't need to tell you anything. I don't have to tell you anything!" I say, realizing how defensive I'm getting. "Ok, dude. Just relax." He says and he is right. I just need to hide my ears from him. Thebman in the background is walking slightly faster and gets to us and says "Hi." Yeah, I'm pretty positive be he's trying to strike up a conversation. "Oh, hi! When did you get here?" The man who was fishing asks. "I just arrived." "Why are you here so late?" "Uhh, I could ask you the same question." The one who just arrived said, technically asking a question. "I just wanted some time to myself." He responded in what I felt like was a slight Tsundere way. "Ok, why are you here uhh... Purple?" I just wanted to um... Practice holding my breath." I say to him and noticing straight away he's calling me 'purple' because of my hair. They look at me in a way that makes me think they don't believe me or it's just a weird thing to do at the beach this late. "I was just here to take a walk. My names Thomas by the way." He says, shaking the other man's hand since he's closer. "I'm Jack! Well, actually my real name is Shawn but people call me Jack" The other one enthusiastically replies. I don't get why they'd call him that. Those names aren't at all similar in the slightest. "I'd shake yours but I don't want to get wet." Thomas says. "Well, uhh, my name's Will." I say, coming up with it on the spot (At least i don't recall him saying his name but if he did I bet it's when he met Charlie). "Guys, I wanna go head on home." I say to them. "Ok, but can I at least get your number? I feel like we'd make great pals." Jack says. "We just met and what do you mean number?" "W-what? I mean you give me your phone number so we can contact each other." Jack says. I've heard of phones but I don't know what numbers have to do with anything?! "I'll just go." I say, not caring anymore though it seems rude. I've never been any good with interacting with people and I don't see how I could. The most I know about humans is from another human teaching me about technology but I highly doubt I'll see HER again, even if I go looking for her. I submerge into the water and get away from them but not far. I practice a little trick I've had fun with when I feel like doing it. It's called 'Blowing bubble rings' I blow bubbles but they are in the shape of rings. I haven't done them in awhile and I'd love to do them again. There are two main methods of bubble ring production: Rapid puffing of a burst of air into the water and allowing it to rise to the surface, forming a ring; or creating a toroidal vortex will their flukes and injecting a bubble into the helical vortex currents this formed. After making about fourteen bubble rings', I poke my head to the surface to see they're still there. They'll probably leave soon anyway. I put my head down quickly so I won't be noticed.
