The Beach

December 10, 2013.

          Prince is different. I feel like there's something I feel but I don't know what. I might be exaggerating again. Our is bothering me again. It's just 2 years and a few months. But I feel like it's big since we're young. He might look my age but he's still older. No matter how much he acts childish.

On Sunday, my group organized an outing to the beach. 

My leader, Jimmy*, teased me about Prince/Dog again. He made sure Prince was in the same group as me. Sometimes, he makes me stand next to him. 

There was a game after our first game, I forgot the name. We stayed in our previous teams. The two teams face each other in a line (Probably 5 to 9 metres distance) and there's an object in the middle; for us, it was a can. We numbered oursleves one to eight. and since our team only had seven, one of us had to be eight too. I was, at first, number five but Jimmy saw that I was against his friend and changed place with me. I was number two beside prince, who was numeber one. The game leaders would call out a number/numbers and the person whose number was called would race with the other team's member with the same number. whoever gets the can and ran back to the team first would earn a point. However, if the opponent taps you while you run back to your team, they earn the point.

A few minutes later, the game leaders upgraded the game; this time, they would call out two numbers.

"One and Two!" was somehow said every other time. Every time, I would grab the two other 1and2 so that they wouldn't be able to tap Prince while he gets the can and rans back. My best friend, Tiger, whispers to me after the round finished, "Protecting your prince, huh?"

"I will do whatever I can to protect my prince." I said, jokingly, but in reality, I'd probably still do.

During the break, Tiger came to me and laughs."Shouldn't it be the other way around?" She snickers. Our friend, Ellie*, one of the game leaders walked beside us. "Pirposely One and two, right?" Tiger accused her jokingly. 

Ellie paused to think but caught on, "Yeah, haha."

After the short break the round started with one and two being called again.

Our game was cut short because somehow, it rained and so we grabbed shelter. We had lunch and Dog sat diagonally across from me. Our knees were touching. 

After a raining for a few hours, it started to drizzle and that's when we went back to the sand. Jimmy wanted to play our first again. Wanted to seperate those who were playing into two teams and so of course, black and white the solution.

 

"Black and White!" My hand was a white. Prince was a second late and I saw him flip his hand to white.

"Nah, too much black. Retry. Black and white!"

I flip my hand to black and Prince was also late like earlier and I saw him flip black.

"Too much white. One more time. Black and White!"

I flip my hand to black again and I swear, he was late once again and did black. I'm pretty sure my eyes weren't tricking me but I'm trying to reason with myself that it's just that my hand was the first thing he saw and so he immediately copied. 

Eventually, Jimmy decided that the him and the other captain would just choose members one by one. Of course, Jimmy chose prince and then chose me. Like I said, Jimmy tried to put us together.

After the game, I felt like I should distance myself from him. Can't make him suspect.

 

The Princess has to keep her fondness of The Prince a secret for now

but the King, is destroying her little plan, teasing her all the time.
