and girls nobody to date, had sided with the other team in a conflict like this. It might be that a boy would talk to a girl, one to one, but as soon as any other boys or any other girls were about it immediately became boys against girls. Jimmy was the first to get over the initial shock. "Pussy!" and all the boys burst into laughter. "Du hear that you pussy?" "Pussy, pussy!" they all began to shout out, still within ears reach to Sean, but he wasn't bothered. He marched onwards dragging Sarah along behind him, towards his favourite place in the area, simply known as "The field." Not exactly distinguishing it from any other field.
    At this point she couldn't take her eyes off the book which was now clutched under Sean’s armpit, but she also couldn't help noticing the warmth and strength of his hand. No boy had ever held her hand before, and she liked it. And it was the same in Sean's case but it was just instinct to him because of the situation they were in. As soon as he realised what he was doing he let go. Besides they had reached the field. He climbed up on the ditch first and then pulled Sarah up. Then he jumped down and helped her down. The wheat was at full growth and it swayed magnificently with the wind, around the slope of the field down to the cliffs, that ran the length of that part of the coastline. The sun was gleaming off the choppy ocean as the spray crashing off the rocks below lit up the sky with short lived rainbows.
    Sean handed her the book and began stamping down a circle in the wheat for them to sit on. She watched him for a few moments and then said, in almost a whisper, "Thank you." He looked up from his stamping in shock as if she had just spoken her very first word. "I thought you couldn't speak?" he asked. "Thats what everyone says about you?" She just smiled. "Didn't know you could smile either?" The smile widened and she couldn't help but let out a trickle of a giggle. "My names Sean." and he extended his hand. She looked at it for a moment and then extended hers in return. "Sarah," she replied again in such a gentle voice, as if trying not to wake a sleeping baby. Sean sat down and she followed his lead. "This is my favourite place round here, d'you see how the spray makes little rainbows?" She hadn't noticed before, being too preoccupied watching every movement he made, and recalling how he had saved her, and her book.
    She looked up at the dazzling display of colours moving up and down with the rhythm off the sea. Soaring up to the sound of the crashing on the rocks and then floating back when gravity kicked in. She nodded her head and smiled. "It's beautiful." They both looked on, each afraid to say the next word. Uncomfortable in the silence but dreading the thought of saying something, and yet racking their brains trying to think of something to say.
    Eventually, they both uttered at the same time "So." and both were cut off by the other, each leaving out a little giggle. Sean attempting to be the gentleman his father had always thought him to be said "You go." To which Sarah replied "No you go." "It's grand you go." She merely looked at him and he was defeated. "Ok well all I was going to say was sorry about the boys back there. They are my friends but sometimes they can be complete assholes." "It's ok." "Is the book alright, it's not damaged or anythin is it?" "No its fine." She smiled and again clutched her arms tightly around the book. "Y'know if it means so much to ya, ya probably shouldn bring it ou with ya. People round ere are always tryin to steal stuff, y'know?" She smiled and nodded her head. Sean was getting relaxed around her now and a little bit of cheekiness came out in him. Being curious as to what secrets she might be hiding in her diary he asked "So any chance I could get a look at what you've written in der?" She clutched the book and just stared at him, the smile wiped from her face. "Jesus, don't worry your secrets would be safe with me, I swear I won't say a word to
