Surfs Up ( Griff Temple x OC )

' the move in '

AURORA WHITE STARES OUT the window of the moving car, smiling as the scenery passes her finding the blue water stunning. She sees families running along the bay laughing and then multiple groups of kids laying out enjoying the warm weather

She turns her head and watches her parents sing and laugh as her dad taps the pattern of the beats to the noise on the radio. Her family has always been super close never judging one another but supporting them through anything

Her dad got offered an amazing job as an attorney for a surfing company, and offered to split from the family and life on his own so that Aurora could stay at home with her friends. But of course they refused and came with him

Maybe it was the way the sun shined onto the sand dunes, or the way everyone had a smile on their face but Aurora knew it wasn't going to be too bad here. She was quite excited to start over somewhere where no one knows the real her

Mark turns to his daughter and sends her a smile "You know I heard they have some amazing surfing here, maybe we could get you into a good club?" Aurora nods and bites her lip to contain her smile

Surfing is something she has grown up on, wether it was with her dad or mum she was always in the water or training for a competition. The young girl gathered quite the name for herself while making the state team at the age of thirteen

Every year they have a re-selection causing all the kids to prove themselves for returning, if you are into surfing you've heard Aurora's name before but she doesn't let it get to her head. Well not in the way you think

Aurora suffers from anxiety, with all the pressure put on her to be the best it can play a toll on her mental game. She has taken many lessons and has went to different therapists who all have told her the same thing "Take a break"

Break? That wasn't even in the picture for Aurora, her view gets cut off by trees as they enter a neighborhood with some larger houses. Her mom points up and to the right of the street at a light blue house

"That one should be ours" She says while smiling at her husband

He pulls into the driveway and parks the car, they all open their doors to step out and look at the house. Aurora smiles as her mom pulls her into a side hug "Isn't it wonderful sweetheart?" the brunette smiles and nods at her comment

They grab a few boxes that the movers couldn't fit with all the other furniture and bring it into the house dropping it into the box filled hallway. Aurora looks around nodding at her surroundings

She gestures to the house with her hands "I could get use to this,"

Aurora's dad grabs her hand and pulls her up the stairs to a room, as he opens the door she smiles as her bed is semi set up. And by that she means the headboard is put together with the mattress on top

Mark smiles and puts an arm around her shoulder "How about you get started on decorating your room? And let me and your mum know if you need anything else to top it off,"

Her eyes follow her dad's figure as it exits her room, she looks at the room and lets out a breath at how much work she has to do. She decides to start one section at a time starting with her bed and nightside area

She opens the box and pulls out her multiple layers of bedding, she bought new sheets before the move so that she felt clean in her new home. Aurora opened up the package and pulled out the white satin sheets

As she matches the corner of each sheet up she makes sure to tuck it tight so it won't pop up when she moves around in her sleep. Aurora throws on her light pink comforter and smoothes it out with her hand

Then she goes for the pillows, her hands find the matching white ones and throw them onto the top of the bed smiling as she fluffs them up a little more. Aurora leaves the empty box as a way to throw trash into something way easier

Aurora picks up another box labeled 'Night Stand' and opens it carefully making sure that any glass in it stays intact. The first thing she pulls out in a lamp with a white shade on it, she puts it into the corner and plugs it in

She then moves her decor around until she likes the way it looks, Aurora moves her books onto the bottom drawer to keep them out of the way not liking the look of too much clutter on the table

Her hands fall too her hips as she groans, this is going to take forever.

AURORA'S FEET PRANCE as she runs down the stairs smelling something in the kitchen, she turns the corner and see her dad making something in a pot. She peaks around him as she notices ramen noodles

Her face lights up and she dances in circle as her dad laughs "Were having a ramen night!"

Mark laughs as he strains out most of the water leaving some to make it easier to mix in different types of spices. The teenager boosts herself up and sits on top of the counter waiting as her dad brings out different add in's

"Go get your mom will you?" She nods and runs down the hallway to the master bedroom, As she brings her hand up to knock she hears a soft come in! Her mom sends a smile as she walks into the room

Margo was currently curling her hair in the bathroom as her daughter walks in looking around at the newly decorated room "What are you getting ready for?" Aurora gestures to all of her makeup on the counter

She sets the curler to the side before looking through the mirror at her daughter "We read online that their is a get together at the cover tonight for locals, and we thought that it would be a good way of introducing ourselves,"

Her daughter pinches her eyebrows together and then gestures to her outfit "Mum! Look at me, you could've given me a heads up," Margo rolls her eyes but signals to her daughter that she's perfectly fine

"We're leaving after dinner, so how about you go get ready and dad will call you when we are going to eat," Aurora nods and runs up the stairs going to the room she finished setting up after about four hours

Aurora goes to her closet and looks at all of her different summer dresses, she makes a clicking noise with her mouth as she tries to decide between a white or a light blue dress. Her hands grab the hanger with the white dress and she goes to her bathroom and throws it on

She looks at herself in the mirror and bites her lip, her hair looks like it is a birds nest. Her hands grab a brush and begins to get out all of the different knots that formed from working on her room

Her natural hair as been permanently curled from the amount of salt water it was contained through the year and so she just leaves it natural. She reaches over to grab a gold necklace and wraps it around her neck

Shoes! Right, she snaps her fingers and heads to her shoe bench that is located by the side of the door of her room and puts on a pair of white sandals. She looks at herself in the mirror hanging on the back of her door

A breath escapes her lips as she grabs her phone and heads downstairs to the dinner table, where both of her parents are putting down different dishes of foods and toppings. One thing about the White's is that they love to eat and cook

"Perfect timing Ror, we are just about to sit down and eat. Could you grab bowls for us?" She nods and grabs three bowls from the cabinet and sets it down where the tan placemats are on the table

"what if i can't find a club to surf at?" Her parents look at her and shake their head dismissing her silly thought

"Im positive you'll find a club meant for you love," Margo says

The family of three sit down and connect their hands, bowing their heads in prayer. "Dear father thank you for todays food and tonights opportunities, please guide us into the right way and keep us on the right track. Amen"
