Chapter 30
~
Ryan ~
As Karlie and I walked out onto the beach I heard Buffy scream to turn the music up, which was turned up louder than what I think most sane people call loud.
-
God
at least you can hear yourself think down there!, Karlie said to me.
-
Yeah
but as you can tell most of the people are still up there!
-
Cause
they don't think!, Karlie screamed laughing.
-
Ay
I heard that!, Andrew said as he walked over.
-
Happy
birthday Smelly Kangaroo!
-
Thanks
Andy Pandy!, Karlie said giving him a hug.
-
Oh
you didn't need to give me a present.
-
Yeah
we did! You�re part of the family!, Lauren said.
-
I
am?, Karlie asked.
-
She
is?, Andrew asked joking.
-
Yeah
silly! You treat just like a sister! Poor her!, Lauren said laughing.
-
We
just get here and she's already picking!, Andrew said.
-
Hey
birthday girl!, Greg said picking Karlie up.
-
Hey
ya Gregy! Karlie said laughing.
-
Put
me down!
-
Okay!,
Greg said giving her a hug.
-
I
left your present upstairs okay?
-
Cool!
I like this!, Karlie said laughing.
-
Trust
you!, I said laughing.
-
I
think I would change that!
-
Why?,
I asked before Karlie pointed out to a couple kissing.
-
Who
do you think it is?, she said joking.
-
50
bucks say's its Clay and Dasha!, I said.
-
Na!
I say Tilky and Bekah!, Andrew said laughing.
-
I
guess you heard huh?, Karlie said when she saw Andrew laughing.
-
Well
I'm gonna say 50 bucks to it being Steve and Buffy!
-
Huh?,
we all said to Karlie.
-
Why
do you think that?, Lauren asked laughing.
-
Cause
I know Buffy likes Steve and Steve likes Buffy and there was some serious
restraining happening at where I got my tongue done!, Karlie said laughing.
-
You�re
kidding? I mean bout the restraining but show me your tongue!, Andrew said.
-
I'm
not! Okay!, she said sticking her tongue out.
-
That's
just!, Greg said.
-
You
know what guys? I�m basically the only one still dressed in what I wore today.
I�m gonna go change I'll be back!
-
Okay!
Just don't get lost!, I said.
-
Yeah
well I may if I don't have directions!, Karlie joked.
When Karlie was gone Andrew just looked at me and gave me a funny look.
-
What?,
I asked.
-
You
do like her! I don't believe Ryan's hooked!, he said laughing.
-
What
are you talking about?, I asked.
-
You
do like her! I can see it!, Lauren said back.
-
But
you're the only one who can't! Or you can but just won't admit it?, Andrew said
out laughing.
-
You
know what? You two can just dream all you like bout it, but what ever happens
and nothing will. It wouldn't work cause Karlie lives in Australia and I live
here!, I said real fast.
-
She's
here from another 2 and a bit months!, Greg said.
-
We
go back to the studio in 4 days!, I said.
-
Just
do something about it or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!, Andrew
said in a serious tone.
-
Yeah
whatever! Look, when Karlie comes back tell her I have gone for a walk okay?
-
Yeah
sure!, Lauren said.
For
the next 2 hours I just walked, and thought, thought and walked. I didn't not
know what I felt, well I did, I just didn't want to admit it. Karlie was the
best thing ever, funny, nice, caring, smart, I thought she was beautiful, I have
to tell her something, but what.

-
Do
you think things will be okay?, I asked Andrew as I put my head on his shoulder.
-
Lets
hope so!, he said before Karlie came running over laughing and jumping around.
-
You
owe me 50 bucks!, Karlie said screaming.
-
Why?,
Greg asked.
-
I
was right! Buffy and Steve! Now fork ova the dosh or pay it later!, she said
laughing.
-
Later
sounds better!, Andrew said.
-
Karlie!
Get over here!, we heard Paola call.
-
Coming!,
Karlie yelled back.
-
I'll
talk later okay!
-
Yup!,
I said smiling.
-
She's
one in a million I just hoped things went well with her and Ryan., I said to
myself.
