How's the Weather Up There

Chapter 1

Chelsea was 16, had long reddish brown hair, green eyes, and slight acne. But to Chelsea none of that mattered all that mattered was that the fact that she was tall like really tall 5 feet and 11.53 inches to be exact and Chelsea took great pride in this fact she liked being taller than everyone else it made her feel powerful.

Chelsea had been preparing all summer for her first day of 10th grade and with only one day left she was very excited she couldn't wait to see if she was the tallest in class or maybe even in her whole grade. Chelsea was so excited she decided to treat herself by going to her favorite place, the beach. She lived within walking distance of the beach so all she did before leaving was shout "mom I'm going to the beach!" she stood at the door for a couple of seconds waiting for a response then she heard it "Okay honey be back before it gets dark". And with that Chelsea walked out the door.

Chelsea walked for about 5 minutes before arriving to the beach she sat on the sand for about 30 minutes with the book she had brought with her but she was too excited for school the next day so she got up and started walking along the edge of the ocean she closed her eyes and breathed in the salty air while still walking, then she bumped into someone her eyes flew open and she began to apologise "oh my god I am so sorry!" the girl she had bumped into giggled lightly and said "no no it's okay."

Then Chelsea looked at the girl and then laughed and said "I guess you're tall too" the girl looked confused and then began to laugh too "The tallest in my class for my whole life." "same the names Chelsea what's yours?" "I'm Rachel." "I bet you I am taller" Chelsea said her competitiveness kicking in "Oh, you think so but I bet you're wrong" The girls stood face to face and used their hands to try to see who was taller each girl claiming they were taller. "Rachel! Time to go home!" Rachel's mom called. "Oh well I guess we're tied for now" Rachel called as she ran off "hm guess I should get going too" Chelsea said quietly to herself before she began walk back home.

Chelsea could not stop thinking about Rachel, the girl who just might be taller than her. She went to bed that night absolutely giddy about going to school the next day. The next day she walked into the school feeling powerful as she hadn't seen a single student taller than her. Then she saw her the girl from the beach it was Rachel... and she wasn't quite sure if she was taller.
