"Maybe not today. I have a ton of stuff to do at home, and who knows when I'll be able to hit the sack? I can't even think about hanging out after class," Athena muttered, her head buried in her workbook. Despite her heavy workload, she did not seem to complain.
"Ah, that's such a shame! The sunset we saw last time was so breathtaking. I'd love to see it again," Tracey exclaimed.
Athena grinned. "We grew up by the sea, and we've seen so many sunrises and sunsets. Don't you get bored?"
Tracey rushed to her side. "Never! The ocean is such a magical place. Seeing the sunrise and sunset at sea is a whole entire experience. It's so different from seeing it anywhere else. If I could, I'd spend my whole life by the seaside. What about you? Are you bored of it?"
Athena set down her pen and gazed into the distance. "I want to explore further."
Tracey frowned. "Does that mean you're going to leave me and the ocean behind? The ocean is like our second mother."
Children raised by the sea often treated the sea as their second mother. After all, the sea had nurtured generations of kids.
Athena shook her head and smiled. "Why would I? I just want to venture out and explore the land. Don't you think it's boring to stay in this fishing village forever?"
"As long as you're with me, I'll never be bored," Tracey declared firmly.
"Hello, do you speak the local language?" she asked.
"Of course! I grew up here even though my father is a foreigner. What's your name?" he asked.
"I'm Tracey, and this is my best friend, Athena," Tracey introduced.
Everyone thought that it was just another typical love story between young teenagers, perhaps with a little dash of romantic rivalry mixed in. Little did they know that their expectations would be shattered completely as the plot unfolded.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
