Growing up as a girl in a family like mine meant two things: One, you had to love football or at least
pretend to, and two, you never got to date. My father put the fear of God in every boy that’s ever set foot
on our property. Other than my cousins, Aaron and Cayden, and my little brother Ryan, I spent most of my
time by myself. When we were younger we played together quite a bit, but now all they talk about is girls.
Just last week when my friend Ashley came over, I caught Aaron trying to spy on us when we were
changing to go swimming. I shoved him, hard, before ratting him out to my dad. Dad just chuckled but
when Uncle Cam found out, Aaron got his phone taken away. I laughed at that. He’s been giving me the
stink eye ever since. Stupid boys!
“Whatcha starin’ at?” Ryan, my little brother shouted as he bounded down the beach. I’d come out
here in hope of seeing one person, Brock Foster. He lived a few houses down, and was ‘the new kid’ in
the neighborhood. He was a lot older than me, but my thirteen-year-old heart didn’t seem to understand
that. He played football for the high school, and went running every morning on the beach. My mom caught
me watching out the window one day, but hasn’t said anything to my dad. I’d know if she did because I
wouldn’t be allowed to do this anymore if he found out. Brock was off limits, even I knew this. At
eighteen, his body was more of a man’s and as I saw him in the distance, I quickly began picking at the
sand beside me.
Each day when he ran by I told myself I’d wave, and as he approached today I thought I’d finally
worked up the courage to finally do it. I could see him in the distance. His arms were swinging as he feet
pounded against the sand. His hair was blowing in the breeze, and as he approached, the sun that shone
down on him made it hard to see. I slowly lifted my hand, preparing to wave when Ryan sat down beside
me.
“Huh?” he shoved my shoulder and I scowled at him. “Why are you always down here so early? It’s
Saturday.”
“Go away,” I gritted out. I didn’t want my secret obsession getting out. Ryan would blab. He always
did, and as he got older it got worse. Nothing was a secret around him. He’d told Aaron about the boy I
had a crush on last year, and by the next day, the whole school knew. I absently swatted in his direction,
but he wasn’t having it.
“Mom said to tell you we’re going out to breakfast. We’re leaving in ten minutes, and you need to be
ready,” he jumped up and ran away as fast as he’d appeared and gave me just enough time to work up my
nerves again.
Brock’s speed picked up as he neared my spot, and I scrambled to my feet. My palm began
to sweat, and my heart felt as if it were going to beat out of my chest. This was it. The moment of truth.
My fingers twitched as I raised my hand. When he was within hearing distance I opened my mouth to say
