Crush
by: Terrell James
Cody walked around North Beach and he saw Lani coming to him. She said, "Hey, Cody. You want to hang out with me for a while?"
He felt a little nervous and ran out of words to say, but he nodded his head to calm his nervousness for a while. Lani smiled and said, "Great. We're gonna watch the sunset together."
As they head off to Z's beach, the sun was already starting set. They sat down and watch the sun go down. They both started talking and Cody blushed a little bit.
"So, what's it like in Shiverpool?" she asked.
"It's pretty good. Sometimes, it gets boring for a while. I've been living the dream for a while. If it wasn't for your uncle, I would've stayed home piling fish." said Cody.
Lani laughed and said, "I bet it must've been terrible."
"It's the most stupidest job I've ever taken, but it's the only way so we could eat some fish. It kinda sucks, really." said Cody.
"I know it seemed like a crappy job, but at least you've been doing so much for your family." said Lani.
"It sorta makes me feel good. I didn't give up on my dream then and I lived it now. I've got some great friends and my 'girlfriend'." said Cody.
Lani chuckled and said, "I think we're still friends, though."
"I agree." said Cody.
Lani sighed with peace and said, "I've been here so many times. It's so peaceful and quiet. You just want to get away from the lifeguarding thing because it's way too crazy. I like it when I get away from it all and it's so cool. Another way to make it better is with you there."
Cody turned around and said to her, "Are you serious?"
"100 dead serious. I kinda like you as a friend, but not as boyfriend and girlfriend." said Lani.
"I had a crush on you from the first time I met you and I was so nervous. I guess I never really understood what it really feels like to have a crush on a girl." said Cody.
"Never?" asked Lani.
"Never." answered Cody.
"Well, I guess you just understood it when you looked into my eyes. When I met you, you were pretty cute and somewhat like a rockstar. Underneath this surfer attitude, the only thing I liked from you is looking in your eyes. It looked like someone with crazy brown eyes, but behind these, you seem very sweet." said Lani.
Cody closed his eyes and chuckled softly. He turned to Lani and said, "My eyes like you too."
"I bet you never had a first kiss before." said Lani.
"What makes you want to say that?" asked Cody.
Lani came closer to Cody and kissed him on the mouth. He kinda felt like he was falling for her, even though they're still friends. Cody said, "Um, thanks."
"You're welcome. I'll see you around. I really enjoyed watching the sunset with you." said Lani.
"Me too. See you later." said Cody.
As Lani walked off, Cody was thinking that he might actually fall for her, but he realizes that they're just friends, nothing serious. As he looked at the sun go down, the radio played a little song that relates to his so-called 'crush.'
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside
It was a rush
What a rush
Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me
It's just too much
Just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I've just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you looking back
Like the way you do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going
Away
Going away
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging,
spending time, girl, are we just friends
Is there more
Is there more
See, it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this
Into something that'll last
Last forever
Forever
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way you do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going
Away
Going away
Why do I keep running from the truth
(Why do I keep running)
All I ever think about is you
(All I ever think about)
You got me hypnotized
(Hypnotized)
So mesmerized
(Mesmerized)
And I just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way you do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going
Away
Going away
Going away
Going away
As the song continued to go on, Cody smiled to himself and that they're just friends and that's the way it is.
This song was the most AWESOME feeling for someone who thinks about a crush. This song was from David Archuleta called, "Crush." I hope this will give readers a jump-start and that I'm not a sell-out. Hopefully, you guys will LOVE it and that it ROCKS!
