On the Beach: Ellie & Bayani & OPEN
"I dunno him very well," Ellie said as she slid off Bayani's lap. It was kind of awkward to look down on him when he was laying on the sand so she sprawled down next to him. "Ben's only ever been polite and nice ta me." She shook her head growing more and more confused about that now.
"I think so," she said, resting on her stomach. Her arms pillowed her cheek as she turned her face so she could see Bay. "I mean, I'd like ta be someone's special, but I should focus more on me schoolin'." Ellie chuckled in agreement to how odd it was for them to be in this position. "I sometimes feel bad because I'm out an' there's so many still there. I still have nightmares. Still get scared when I see a stranger. I want the others ta know this kind of life."
