Everyone says it's IMPOSSIBLE to just be friends with a guy.
But that's exactly what Blue and I are. He lets me use his surfboard - the one NO ONE else can touch. And he calls me all the time!
It's cool being JUST FRIENDS with Blue.
I hope it never changes.

I shook my head, trying to shift my focus back to Elizabeth's surfing skills. This was getting a little crazy. For one thing, I was supposed to be teaching her the ways of the wave. For another, I'd liked Elizabeth since the day I met her - but crushing on her hadn't got me anywhere up until this point, and I didn't think it was going to get me anywhere now. Besides, I was pretty sure I wasn't her type.
Taking a deep breath, I placed my hands on her waist to help her find the right stance on the board. As soon as I gave her a gentle push, though, she started totally cracking up.
I yanked my hands away. "What's wrong, dude?" I asked in alarm.
"Boryy, Blue," Elizabeth said breathlessly after a moment, when she finally had her laughter under control. "I'm really sorry about that. I guess I just - well, I'll show you."
Before I could react, she turned and started tickling me. "Whoa!" I shouted. I was startled that I stepped backward and tripped over my own feet, sprawling flat on my back in the sand. Giggling wildly, Elizabeth came after me.
