Chapter 10

I fell asleep and woke up. (Ain't that interesting?! =D) When I woke up, I saw Nick standing in front of me. Then he started humming some weird song that usually plays in movies when a morning scene comes and birds chirp, etc.

"Good morning, sleepy!" He smiled big.
"Nick?"
"Yes?"
"You're weird."
"I know!" He grinned hugely.
"Dood, your smile is bigger than your face!"
"Cool, I didn't know it could do that!" He laughed.
"You know, Keila... I've noticed something lately..."
"Yeah?"
"After all the time we spent together, I've never seen you smile." He looked at me strangely. "Do you know how to smile?"
"Of course I do, stoopid!"
"Show me."
"... I don't wanna."
"Yeah, because you can't!"
"Nick!"
"I won't believe it, until I see it!" He crossed his arms.
"Fine, then don't believe it!" I crossed my arms.
Suddenly he got this weird small smile across his face, as if he were planning something devious. He got down and stood on his knees he wobbled towards me with the same sly grin. I sat up I backed away.
"What are you doing?" I kept backing away till my back hit a tree. Great. He got closer and reached out his arms. Then he started tickling me! Of course! He wanted a smile out of me! I laughed. A lot. Of course, smiling, duh.
"Nick... stop... I can't....... breath!" I said in between laughs. He wouldn't stop!
"Nick!.... You're.... gonnas.... make.... me.... asplode!" He [i]finally[/i] stopped so I could catch my breath. But I didn't stop smiling. Nick just kept staring at me, smiling.
"What?"
He didn't answer.
"Nick!"
"Your smile is so beautiful!"
I stopped smiling. My eyes widened. Nobody ever complicated me as much as he did. It just sorta... shocked me.
"Is something wrong, Keila?"
"No! No. Nothing's wrong."
"Why'd you stop smiling?"
"Because I'm not used to smiling so freakin' much!"
"You're gonna have to."
"What?"
"Yeah, because now I know your weakness!" I playfully shoved him, and smirked.
"You wouldn't just randomly tickle me, though, right?"
"Great idea!" I stood up and so did Nick. I chased him all over the spot we were at. Then I accidentally pushed him into the lake.
"Nick! I'm sorry!"
"No, no, don't be! This feels great!" I smiled. It's been a long time since I smiled. I had felt like smiling, but never could. Until now. Until Nick.
"Come in with me!" He yelled.
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want to get wet!"
"Well at least help me out." He reached out his hands and I grabbed them, but instead of me pulling him, he pulled me! Right into the lake!
"Nick, you're a dead man!" I swam after him. And, boy, it's freakin' hard to swim fully clothed! But I wasn't gonna just take them off! No way! He swam right under the waterfall. Good thing it was gentler than a normal waterfall, or he'd be forced way down. I swam after him and shoved him backwards. He grabbed me and pulled me down into the water. I pulled him under, too. They lake was clear, and we could see each other underwater. He got closer. I thought, 'What's he doing?'
