Derrick strolled away smoothly, trying to keep his cool as tons of eyes watched him disappear. Once he was gone, Macy glared at Macon. “I CAN ’T BELIEVE YOU WOULD SCREW THIS UP SO MUCH FOR ME !”

Macon laughed, “You said screw.”
Oh God.

“Leave Macon. And never ever talk to me again. You scre-I mean messed up me and Shane, now Derrick so leave me alone!” Macy stormed off down the beach as the group whispered to each other about what happened.

1. Macy and Macon did it at the dance.
2. Macy and Derrick broke up.

Around and around the gossip went as the broken up couple went their separate ways. But, Macon followed Macy some time after. “Macy wait.” Macon said.

She kept walking and he ran to catch her. “No Macon. What do you want from me? Do you honestly hate me that much? Enough to ruin all of my relationships? I mean, God that’s so shallow.”

Macon sighed, counting the waves and watching the shells. He told her this, almost inaudible, “I don’t hate you. I’m in love with you.”
