Chapter 29

The rest of the day passes quicker than I want it to. I don't mention Archer's invitation to the girls at lunch, mainly because I haven't made up my mind as to whether or not to accept it yet. They are all talking about the homecoming stuff and all I'm thinking about is whether or not I'm going to go surfing with him.

By the end of the day, I've made up my mind.

I'm going.

The only real reason I come up with not to go is because I'm being stubborn.

I want to learn. That's real. And he's offering. Yeah, he seems like an arrogant prick most of the time, but we managed to navigate the buoy swim together. Why shouldn't I use him to teach me how to surf?

I can handle him.

I think.

After the last bell, I text Mercy and tell her I don't need a ride home, that I've got something else I need to do. I wait for most of the hallways to empty, then head out to the lot. I see Archer's truck parked in his usual spot and he's standing in front of it, leaning against the hood.

He smiles when he sees me. “I knew you'd come.”

“No, you didn't.”

“No? Then why did I tell the boys I was taking you surfing?”

I stare at him for a moment. “Whatever. I don't have my bathing suit.”

He smiles. “We can surf naked. I've done it before.”

“Not a chance.”

“We can swing by your house.”

“I don't have a board.”

He points over his shoulder with his thumb. “Already taken care of.”

I hesitate for a second, then walk past him to the back of the truck. I see four different boards in the bed, including one extra long one that looks a little different.

“It's soft,” he says, coming up next to me. “Because you're gonna eat shit and you won't knock yourself out on the soft board. It's bigger because it's easier to get up on.”

I look at him.

He grins. “Told you I knew you'd come.”

I don't have a comeback for that, so I walk around to the other side of the truck and get in.

We drive in silence to my grandparents, the windows down and the wind rushing through the cab. He doesn't ask for directions and knows exactly how to get there. I wonder if he just remembers from Friday night or if he's looked that up before I found him in the parking lot, just to prove he already knew my decision.

When we get there, I run inside and he stays in the truck in the driveway. Neither of my grandparents are home, which I'm grateful for because I don't have to do any explaining. I dig my bikini out of my dresser and do a quick change. I pull my hair back in a tight ponytail, then pull on a T-shirt and a pair of shorts over my suit. I leave my bag and everything but my phone on my bed and jog back outside.

“You were fast,” he says when I climb back into the house.
