Love and Letters: Dina & David's Story 12. You're not good enough for him
"Dina, come on. Look at me." David tells me, pulling my arms away from my face. My elbow hurt. I must've hit it somewhere when I stumbled out of the haunted house, just right after kissing him and shoving him forcefully to the side to fight off my embarrassment. I grip my spinning head. I want to run away from him again, but my weak legs won't let me. So now I'm stuck in this position, trying to save the rest of my dignity. "You know it's only going to get awkward if you act awkward," David says, attempting to meet my eyes again. I look further down. I don't know what to tell him. Frankly, I don't even remember what I was thinking when I did that. Kiss him, I mean. But I do remember the feeling, and it's scaring the hell out of me. "L--let go of me," I tell him weakly. Heaving, I feel my stomach churn, and I immediately turn towards the side, ready to let it all out. But David pulls me back. "Oh no. You're going to run away from me again," David says, keeping a tight grip on my wr
Love and Letters: Dina & David's Story 13. Just friends
"Please don't look at me like that," Ari tells me as she enters my room. She has my letter in her hand. As instructed, I wrote her a letter as soon as I got to the hotel room and snuck it under her hotel room door. "You're really mean," she observes as I continue to glare at her. "No, you're mean. You tricked me again." I answer, referring to her plan to bring me on this island without my knowing. "Oh, come on. I just thought you might need a break. David said you were really sad after visiting your Dad." Ari tells me. "David really needs this too. He's been feeling stressed since Grandma fell ill. But not even Grandpa could convince him. It was only when we promised we'd make sure you go that he agreed." I pause, suddenly self-conscious. I don't know what to think about David taking the initiative to cheer me up. "Where is he now, by the way? I haven't seen him since--" I start to ask Ari, but I catch myself. "He's at our favorite place here at the hotel, along with our other fri

"Oh no. Hell no!" I exclaim as I examine the vast golf course in front of me. I was peacefully sleeping when Ari came barging into my hotel room so early in the morning to tell me about a field day. Apparently, it's every year level against each other for HPH's Foundation Week, and I'm one of the Junior representatives for track and field. Without my consent. What the hell is wrong with these people? "Not my idea. David signed you up for this." Ari tells me. "He did what?" I scan around the people around me, trying to spot the traitor. "Come on. It's perfect for you." I hear his amused voice behind me. "You like to run, don't you?" My hands curl into fists, "David. I swear to God." I turn towards him and felt equal parts frustration and admiration. He looks good, as always. His skin is a bit tanned from standing on the ship's deck for hours yesterday. His eyes are alert, despite the glare of the early morning sun around us. Also, I don't know which games he's assigned to, but judg
Love and Letters: Dina & David's Story 15. Is everything okay?
"Um...what should I call you, sir?" I ask after an awkward silence with David's grandpa. I still can't believe I'm in the hospital cafeteria, having lunch with him. I toy with the food on my plate, wishing he'd stop being so kind. Ever since we started eating, he has been refilling my plate non-stop. He reminds me so much of David, always thinking of those around him. "Oh, just call me Gramps. All of Dave's friends do," he tells me, smiling warmly. He scarfs down his rice. One might think he's too hungry and cheerful for someone whose wife is in the hospital. But we all cope in different ways. "Those kids are wonderful." I beg to differ, but I nod in agreement. "The food here is good, huh?" he tells me, and I nod again. It is good. I've eaten quite a lot myself. "Though we probably should slow down a bit, or we'll be done before Dave gets here." "Should we call him?" I ask. "Nah, he'll be down in a minute." Gramps says, "Why don't you tell me about yourself? Dave has told me about

"I think I know where we can find David," I tell Arnold as soon as we're back inside the car. Arnold pauses from giving instructions to Jerry, frowning at me. "You do? Why didn't you tell us earlier?" he asks me. I sigh before saying, "I didn't want Ari and Brad to know." "Why?" Arnold asks me. "It's something to do with Dad," I tell him. "Dina--" Arnold starts to say, but I cut him off. "That's why the first thing we should do is visit him." "I don't think that's a good idea. Your Mom--" "We don't have to tell Mom. We'll be quick. I'm just going to ask Dad where Black Dawn is based these days. I have a feeling that David's there." I tell Arnold. I don't know how much digging David did on the case, so I'm thinking of the worst-case scenario here. "Why would David be---" Arnold scratches the back of his head, getting agitated again. "No, we'll look for another way. You can't see your Dad." "Why not?" I ask him. It's the fastest way to know where Black Dawn is. I've been trying
Love and Letters: Dina & David's Story 17. A Sorry
To say that David's surprised to see me at his door is an understatement. He takes a step back, attempts to close the door in my face, and reopens it, realizing how rude his initial reaction was. E "Dina," he says, looking uncomfortable. I'm uneasy myself. The last time we saw each other--well, it was a heated encounter in more ways than one. I feel my cheeks heat up, remembering the kiss we shared. It was our first, but it also felt like our last. And that fact hurt me more than I thought it would. "Hi, I just---um...I wanted to make sure you're okay." I manage to tell him. "I am," David replies. He looks at me pensively before saying, "I heard what you and Arnold did for me. Thank you." I look up at him, startled, "No, please don't say that." I tell him. "You wouldn't have gotten into trouble in the first place if Dad hadn't..." I trail off, and an uncomfortable silence ensues between us. I should've rehearsed what I needed to say to him. I feel like I'm making the lamest apolog
Love and Letters: Dina & David's Story 18. Scared of you.
I sit on the sidewalk, frustrated. I'm lost. I am so lost. I made Jerry drop me off the wrong corner. Where the hell is this party supposed to be? I stare at the piece of paper in my hand. In Sebastian's neatly-written cursive is the address to the place where they're holding David's party. But it's no use. And it's not like I can just call any of them. This is what I get for not having a phone. There's no way for someone as directionally challenged as me to figure this out. Standing up, I walk a bit, hoping for some of the street signs to enlighten me. But I'm in some kind of a commercial district in the wealthy part of the city, and none of the streets look familiar to me. Damn this. Maybe I should just call a cab and go home. "Hey, girl!" a man hollers at me as I walk by him and his friends. Without looking, I gave him the finger. I would have loved to give him a kick in the nuts, but I have no time for catcallers right now. Suddenly, an arm pulls
Love and Letters: Dina & David's Story 19. Truth or Dare?
"You're here! And you're late." Ari greets David and me as we enter the massive gates towards Kier's front yard. Brad, Sebastian, and her are by the parking lot, obviously waiting for us. "Bro, your lip is bleeding. What happened?" Brad asks David, but his friend ignores him, shooting him a glare. "You said the party was at Buzz," David tells Brad, quickly letting go of my hand. He then leans towards me, whispering, "Remember what we talked about." "What are you talking about? We changed the venue this morning, and I made sure to text you." Sebastian argues. I nod at David. They're all lying. David and I had spent thirty minutes in the diner when he got a text from Calvin asking when he was going to Kier's house for the party. That's when we realized that his friends were on another scheme again. Calvin told us it was to make David and I meet and make up this time. Obviously, we came up with a plan to get back at them. "I picked this straggler
