Matilda's POV
That night I didn't get to sleep at all. I stayed up for hours just staring at the ceiling trying to plan out what I would say to Justin the next time I see him.
After a while I decided to take my mind off this and get some reading done. I grabbed my version of 'Romeo and Juliet' feeling like a bit of dramatic love.
Out of all honestly I think Romeo and Juliet is such an unrealistic story. Juliet and Romeo fall in love and first sight then around three days later get secretly married. A day or two after that Romeo kills Juliet's cousin causing him to be banished from their town. Juliet's arranged marriage to Paris is like the next day so she takes a potion that 'kills' her. Romeo then finds her 'dead' so he kills himself. At the same time Juliet awakens, finding a dead Romeo she stabs herself and that's the end.
All of that happens in under a week which is completely insane, but I still think it's a great story. The context in which Shakespeare has written it is so enduring. For the next few hours I lay in my bed and read from start to finish.
"They was never a story of more woe,
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo" I close the book after reading the last sentence.
It is now 5am, deciding to try to get some sleep I turn my lamp off. Sleep doesn't come. I spend until sunrise helplessly trying to fall asleep, but nothing seems to work, not even counting sheep.
Once the sun finally approaches signalling the new day I waste no time to get out of bed and race down to the beach.
Not even surfing can escape me from my thoughts. I can't concentrate on my pop ups, I keep losing my balance and falling into the water. Does Justin really have that much of an impact on my surfing?
I'm angry, I mean I'm on verge of fuming. I never have this problem. No matter how bad things get, surfing always blocks them out, but not today.
After falling only like a thousand times I give up. I now currently sit on my board looking out to sea, watching the waves roll in. Just sitting and watching soothes me. I'm no longer angry.
"TILDA!" A male voice calls from behind me. Justin.
Relief washes over me as I realise he's not going to hold a grudge over what happened last night. I turn around to find sandy brown hair instead of Justin dark hair.
My smile fades only slightly as I notice it's not Justin, but reappears when I realise who the guy with the dorky grin is. It is not Justin standing on beach waving at me, it's Will.
I wave at him from my place in the water. He runs out and dives under the first wave that comes his way. I smile to myself as he begins to swim out to me.
Maybe Will is the perfect distraction to keep my mind off Justin. I'll just go and talk everything over with Justin once my surfing session is complete.
All the thoughts of Justin slip out my mind when Will's head pops out of the water right next to my board.
"Hey" I smile at him
"Hey yourself" He replies as he folds his arms over my the front of me board. The pressure from him body weight makes the nose of the board evolve under water.
"Will you're gonna sink it!" I shriek as I nearly loose my balance.
"Shit sorry" he smirks as he leans down on my board as hard as he can causing half the board sinks under the water.
I loose my balance as the angle of the board increases. I'll give it to Will, he timed it well. Right when I'm loosing my balance a massive wave of white water crashes into me. The impact of the wave pushes my off my board and into the water.
