After school I catch the bus home. I get off at the last stop, my house.
I thank the bus-driver and go inside.
I get out of my tight school clothes and change into my lime green bikini.
I pack my shoulder bag with my iphone, towel and an apple.
I grab my pink surf board with purple and blue swirls all over it.
I head out the door and walk down to the beach.
As I approach the beach, I see Liliana.
I groan.
Liliana or Lily, as she is known, is the mean girl on the island.
She takes pleasure in others misfortune.
We used to be best friends in third grade, but that was before she was popular.
I walk faster, hoping that she won't notice me as I walk by.
"Oh, Hey Lyla" she says in her 'I'm the nicest person ever' tone.
"Hi" I mumble back.
I start to walk again when she begins to talk again.
"So. Improved on your surfing skills yet?" Liliana says meanly. "Because you obviously need help"
"Whatever. Thats your opinion 'Lil'" I say and walk away smiling because I know she hates being called 'Lil'.
I can feel her eyes burning into the back of my neck.
I walk around to the rocks. I chuck my surf board a bit ahead of me so I can climb the rocks without having to carry it.
I put my bare feet on the slippery and rocky, well rocks.
It hurts when I step on the sharp rocks, so I try to avoid them.
I climb up and over the rocks.
I can see someone coming but I don't know who it is.
I stare at the person coming towards me. I'm not paying much attention to where I am stepping and suddenly I slip.
I hit my head and feel the sharp rocks poking into me.
"Hey!" I hear someone yell. "Are you okay?"
I don't know where the noise is coming from.
Suddenly someone is standing beside me.
I look up and see a boy about my age, he is holding a surfboard. My surfboard!
"Ouch" I say.
I look at my legs. They are a bit cut and blood is oozing out of them.
I feel a hand grab mine and I am suddenly standing up.
I look at the boy.
" Thankyou" I say
"You're welcome" He says back politely. " I believe this is yours?" he gestures towards my board.
"Yeah... its mine"
He hands me my board.
" I don't think I have seen you around before?" I ask him.
"Yeah. I'm new" he says. "I'm Jordan, by the way."
"I'm Lyla" I introduce myself.
"Lyla... I like that name" He says.
"Thanks." I accept his compliment
"I have got to go" he says.
"Yeah. I'm going to go catch some waves" I tell him.
"Bye" we say at the same time and walk away.
