Be Your Own Spring novel Chapter 32

"But Maa! You didn't tell us about any of this a day before. Its my day off today and I really wanted to relax, not travel." Kezr complained like the baby he is.

"Oh hush before I smack you with my sandal. We're going to the beach, it seems pretty relaxing to me. Relax all you want there."

Beach?

"Beach?!" I exclaimed more than I should have and saw Zake and Kezr cover their ears.

"I think Iam deaf now. Hello? Testing....Testing, hello?.....?" Zake said unclogging his ears. This freaking drama queen.

"You're deaf huh? What did you tell me about Maria huh....that she-" he cut me off by covering my mouth with his big butt of a hand and glared at me.

"Who's Maria?" Layla asked looking between us.

Kezr was smirking not helping me out while I was withering in Zake's hold trying to rat him out.

"Nothing maa! Stop it." Zake's stomped his foot and glared at me.

"Hmmm." Layla hummed suspiciously. And he just laughed nervously. Dungbag.

I bit his hand and he let me go but not before screaming, "Bitch!" And I saw Kezr glaring at him.

Aria looked at me and said "You like the beach?"

"Like? I love the beach." Papa used to take me to the beach and I always loved the cold water and hot sand against my feet.

"Well, then go on. Why waste any time?" Elijah said pushing me and Kezr off the couch.

We scurried off to get ready and pack. I saw other's backpack already packed and lined up at the entrance.

I packed 2 pajamas, a pant, shirt and hoodie, flip-flops, sneakers, toothbrush, hairbrush, rubber bands (although I always lose them), charger, headphones, my swimsuit, undergarments, and any other essential supplies.

I went into the bathroom, did my buisness, showered and picked out an outfit.

I wore a white shirt and tucked it in black shorts which I wore on black fish nets and wore a short black jacket and black heeled boots and put my hair in two Dutch braids.

I don't know if this outfit looks good on my chubby thighs, but I don't have any other thing, so this will do.

I came out of my room and at the same time Kezr came out of his. We both looked at each other and stopped in our places, I don't know why he stopped, but I stopped because he looked like a. Damn. Meal!

Apparently according to everyone, Alex is a really ill-mannered and spoiled child. I asked Aria why she was on the bus if she could easily travel in a limousine to which she answered that she needed to show Alex the real world and not spoil him but he never budges and is really misbehaved.

And I might just know why.

I looked at Aria's daughter, Maya. She is 4 and a totally adorable goof ball.

Kezr complained why we were staying in tents when we can easily be in a hotel nearby, but everyone just compared him to Alex and said he's more of an ill-mannered baby to which Alex crossed his arms over his chest and showed no interest.

I really love kids and I know what Alex's problem is, so I made a mental note to make Alex realize his mistakes, as well as everybody.

The car stopped and I looked out smiling. We weren't directly going to the beach, cause our first stop was the Forest.

Eric parked the car in front of a dark deep forest. Tongass National Forest.

We dismounted the van.

We are going to sight see this forest for about an hour and then we'll go to our next location.
