The Girl Down The Block

Chapter 2

i took off my white dress and grabbed my board before running into the ocean. i hopped on my board and paddled out

after 5 minutes of waiting for a good wave to come and duck diving under the bad ones, i finally spotted a huge wave that felt like it was just calling my name

i paddled long strokes into the water before the wave caught up to me. once it did i quickly stood up on the board and maintained my balance as i got further down the wave

i kept my eyes focused on the wave once i saw it start to barrel on me. i ran my hand through the side of the wave as the water was almost crystal clear. this is what i had been waiting for ever since i found out i was going to spend the summer at my grandparents

the huge salty waves in california felt like that was all i needed.

but before i knew it, the wave came to an end and the water started to get all in my face as the barrel closed. luckily, i maintained my balance and stayed on the wave

i sat back down on my board after the wave had completely died down and laughed as i realized i had officially ridden my first wave of this summer.

i immediately paddled back out and repeated the process a couple more times until i completely wiped out and got caught in a wave. it felt like i was being tossed around in a laundry machine

but ofc i came back up to the surface and got back on my board. i rid a few more waves until i wiped out again but this time even harder, so i decided to call it a day

i swam back to the shore and walked back to my towel. i picked it up and dried myself off before i put my white dress back on. i decided to just keep my sandals in my bag as i walked back up the trail

i finally got back into the main road and walked back to my grandparents house. i walked past the huge mansion i saw on the way there to see a yellow mazda RX-7

my eyes widened as my jaw dropped. i took a couple steps closer and squinted my eyes to see if it was a different care but it wasn't

i knew exactly how rare those cars are, and how they stopped making them in 1996. and that yellow car was in PERFECT condition and i literally wanted to cry

nothing was stopping me from knocking on the house owners door and talking to them about it and how much they paid for it and when they got it and from WHERE

so u walked up their driveway with the biggest smile ever as my body raged with excitement. i finally got to the car and gasped as i slowly walked around it and admired it

i still wasn't completely sure if it was an actual RX7 as some brands tried to copy it and sell it for cheaper back in the day when it was first made, but for the most part it looked completely real and i was totally in shock

so after a couple minutes i walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. after a minute of waiting a guy who looked about 20 years old with brunette, medium length hair opened the door with a shocked and confused face

"hi! i'm really sorry to bother but i just wanted to speak to you about that car" i said as i pointed to the yellow car

"ohh uh- i'm not the owner of that, but let me get the owner down here for ya. just give me one sec pls" said they guy as i nodded my head and said thank u. he then closed the door and i stood there looking back at the yellow car with amazement as i shook my head and laughed

the door finally opened and this guys with blonde curly hair and the best face i've ever seen looked at me with his eyebrows furrowed before he took one look at me and raised his eyebrows

i snapped out of the trance this very handsome man just put me in and turned my body to face his

"hi! um is that car an actual RX7?" i said kinda awkwardly with a grin on my face as i impatiently waited for his answer
