Waves crash gently beneath them.

Green eyes meet greet eyes.

Soft smiles, anxious breaths.

“So, what’s it like dating a cheerleader?”

For some reason sad/angsty scenes are easier for me to write than fluff scenes lol. Plus, I read all the other submissions and they’re all about them getting together (which I love), so let’s break the mold a little bit. Here’s my rendition for the 55 Words Challenge. Hope you liked it!
