are you laughing at Reenee?”

CJ Detweiler was ignoring us because he was too busy scarfing down his seemingly super delectable cheeseburger.

“Never gets old.”

“What? What? Oh I said baff-frum. Ha ha ha. It’s funny I can’t pronounce the word bathroom.”

“Sorry it’s just so cute how you say it. I like it when you mispronounce words Am.”

“It’s not cute. I hate it. I always do badly with public speaking stuff. I can never get through an oral presentation without the teacher or a jerk correcting me in the middle of my essay. It’s a pain.”

“Ahh come on, the one people who ever really did that was Cassandra and her goons.”

“Not when I was little everyone made fun of me.”

“Ahh don’t go back to that. At least you don’t really studder anymore.”

“Thanks to you bestie.”

“Aww. Hug me.”

I did. I hugged Reenee and we had a gooey girl moment.

“Aww how sickening.” CJ Detweiler said teasing.

“Shut up and eat your heart attack burger.” Reenee retaliated.

They both started clowning each other with insults. And that’s when I saw him. He was standing behind Reenee’s head in the distance. And I just couldn’t believe I just believe I saw I was seeing him right now. I quietly whispered his name under my breath.

“I’ll be right back. I have to go see something.” I said.

“Ok”

“Ok”

Melinda came back and I announced again that I was leaving. She said ok too but got stuck trying to break up the verbal turned physical fight between Reenee and her boyfriend.

I know I saw him but that can’t be. Why would he be here; at the beach of all places.

I ran up to the hotel, far up the beach and looked around. But I couldn’t find him.

I don’t think he went inside but I’ll check anyways.

The hotel was just as beautiful as ever. It had the same expensive golden taste to it. Everything is crystal, fine, golden, sparkly and absolutely exquisite. It smelled absolutely divine as usually. I haven’t stayed in this hotel since I was little, since my dad died to be completely exact. We had a weekend scheduled here just before he died but we never checked in. It was too sad for my mom to bear.

I looked around gazing in awe noticing that some things were different like the chairs and tables, but most of the things were still the same like the welcome boy.

Shoot I better hide before he sees me.

In case you’re wondering, why would I be hiding from him? Well my family used to come here a lot and sometimes with Reenee's family and whenever we came together we would cause trouble. Reenee and I would always pull pranks on Timothy. We soaked him, we broke him, we paint balled him, we tripped him like a million times and the list goes on and on. But the one thing that he hated more than anything we did to him was when we called him Timothy. His name is actually Tim and it’s not short for Timothy; but we liked to call him that because his face always turned a bright crimson red as if he’s about to kill us.

Right now I’m hiding behind some dudes enormous amount a luggage looking for the boy I saw.

Ah the elevator.

I just saw it close and I think that was him. So I go up to it and see which floor he went on.

Third.

I take the stairs because I don’t want to miss him.

*Huff and puff*

Phew! Feels like a 200m dash.

I looked down the hall to check if I saw him and to my shock I did, around the corner.

“Hey wait. Wait up Chr - ”

*Flash flash*

My eyes are changing my vision again. I see him. I think. He’s talking to someone. And he seemed mad.

“What have you done to her? You promised you wouldn’t hurt her? You said if I never saw her again you would leave her alone. You lied. You lied to me. You bastard! How could you go back on your word.”

There was a brief silence.

“That’s it deals off. I’m outta here.”

He started to walk away.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” The other man he was talking to said.

He paused where he stepped.

“And why is that. You’re gonna stop me?”

“No, but she will.”

He looked up and saw someone standing in the doorway of the office. I saw the look on his face, it was gut-wrenching. He didn’t look scared or afraid; he looked more shocked and hurt like he saw someone he wasn’t expecting.

I noticed that I wasn’t just looking at this scene like in my other visions but this time I could actually feel my body as if I was standing right there in the room but I couldn’t quite see in the doorway. I wanted to see who this person was that he had such a morbid look for. I walked from the corner I was in and came around from behind the door and when I peeked my head from behind the door my visions stopped.

*Flash flash*

“Whoa, what was all that?” I said almost whispering to myself.

“What was what?” A voice said.

*Gasp* I turned around abruptly.

“Sorry I didn’t mean to scare you.” The person said.

It’s him. D.

“Oh hi D. No you didn’t scare me. I was just looking at um I thought I saw someone I knew. But I guess it wasn’t.” I said looking around the corner checking if I’ve completely missed him or not.

I did.

D laughed at me. “May I ask who were you looking for?” D asked smiling kindly.

I blushed. “Uhhh no one. Just someone from high school.”

“Well since you can’t you find who you’re looking for would you mind spending some time with me?”

What! I can’t believe he’s asking me this right now. YES! YES! YES!

“Um yeah I would love too – oh but wait I really should tell my friends where I am I didn’t even tell them I was coming in here.”

“It’s cool I actually have something to do anyways.”

I looked at him with a confused look.

“Oh, I have this event I’m supposed to go to now but I was looking for a good enough excuse to skip it. I really shouldn’t in the first place but you seemed to be that interesting.”

At this point I’m blushing so much that I can literally feel my blood boiling from all this hormonal heat radiating from my emotions.

“Oh. Yeah we were gonna do something now….too….anyways.” I said trying really hard not to seem desperate not even looking at D.

There was a brief silence.

“Uh see ya. I guess.” I said shyly while walking away.

“Uh Amethyst right?”

“Right.”

“Do you live around here?”

“Unfortunately no.”

“That’s too bad. I would have loved to get to know you better.”

“Me too. But hopefully when I visit again you’ll still be here.”

“Hopefully.”

We both smiled then departed our separate ways. I took the stairs to avoid that awkward elevator wait.

Stupid stupid stupid. I should have gotten his number. I bet he wanted me to say that I wanted to hang out with him too not maybe I’ll visit again. Stupid stupid stupid. He clearly was waiting for me to take initiative. Darn it. Reenee’s gonna be very disappointed. So many years of lessons wasted.

As I walked out to the lobby I held my head down in shame thinking about what could have been.

I blew it. I don’t usually freeze up that badly when talking to a hot guy. Ugh.

I’ve reached the main lobby.

“YOU! EVIL!”

“Huh, what?”

“Evil girl! Evil!”

“Oh Timothy! What’s up? Haven’t seen you in a while.” I said smiling vigorously.

He points to me again and hisses this time.

“I’m watching you! I’m…..watching….you!” He said pointing two fingers from his eyes to mine.

“That’s nice. It’s great that you’ve been thinking of me after all this time. I feel all special inside now.” I said smiling so angelically that it pushed Tim into a hysterical paranoia.

He started to step backwards with a facial expression that seemed to be completely freaked out. He looked as if he were about to be murdered and was tourtured with fear.

“Yo-You’re not going to get me. You’re not going to get me. Ahhh!” He shouted at me running away in terror I noticed. He still had that limp in his right leg from that time when Reenee and I were 10 and we tricked Timothy into climbing on top of this little supply shed for the hotel; Reenee made him believe I was stuck on the roof of it but this shed was a little torn down back then so when he climbed up to get me he fell threw a weak point on the roof and had to go to the hospital. We felt really bad and visited him. From that point on we were always super nice to Timothy but he always assumed it was a reverse psychology scheme and always was frightened whenever we were around like right now. But I think he might be finally over it……or not!

I watched him run away from me in complete fear and it brought a small amount of attention to me but I ignored it.

“Alright, see ya later Timothy. It was nice catching up.” I exclaimed giggling a little.

Haha Timothy. Still funny as ever. But I think we might have damaged him a bit. He seemed a smidge afraid of me or is it just my imagination. Oh well. I have to get back.

I leave the hotel and head back to the beach.

“Yo Ammy where have you been?” Reenee shouted from across the beach.

I began to run back to our spot where my friends were all laying out.

“Oh nothing I just thought I saw someone from school. But it wasn’t him.”

“Oh. Who was it?” Asked Melinda.

“Uh um Kel. I thought I saw Kel but it wasn’t him.”

“That nerdy kid you hung out with all last semester.” She questioned sharply.

“He’s not nerdy. He was cool. We had a lot to talk about.” I said trying to defend Kel and I’s friendship.

“Whatever, he was still a lose-zer-er. Reenee exclaimed holding up an L sign above her forehead.”

I was about to snap back in defense of kel but Reenee wanted to talk about something else.

“So how’s Timothy. Did he remember you?” Reenee asked laughing.

“What! What do you mean?” I asked.

“I saw you leave the hotel. You must have seen Timothy or does he not work there anymore?”

“Oh no he’s still there but I think he missed me. When I saw him he was hyperventilating and everything. He was so overcome with joy he could barely speak. Then he left in a hurry, but I think it was because he wanted to start missing me again.”

The 4 of us burst out laughing because we all knew I was being sarcastic and they figured he probably ran away from me in
