Hawaii Life

five

I got up quite early the next morning. I got dressed in nike shorts and a loose t-shirt. I hopped down the stairs with my phone in my hand. I was not suprised to see a note laying on the counter from Seth telling me he is at work. Katina walked downstairs and started to make breakfast with me. We decided on waffles and strawberries.

"So what do you have planned for us today?" She asked.

"Well, I was think that we could take the boat out and go down the Na Pali coast and hang out in the cave." I said, proud of my plan.

"Yes! I haven't been down the coast in years. Seth will be sorry he missed out."

"yeah but Bryant will take some awesome pictures to show him."

"I guess, but I feel like Seth is never here. Kinda reminds me of Dad."

"Please don't compare them. Seth is still here and comes home, Dad doesn't. Seth has a month vacation next week anyways so we can have fun nce he is off work." I assured her.

"Okay, sorry I brought up Dad, I know it's still a sensitive topic."

"It's fine." My Dad left for the Army when I was five. Two months later my Mom passed away. Most of my life has just been Katina, Seth and I. Dad always says that he is going to come home soon but never does. We used to always write but then he stopped responding one day and we haven't heard from him since.

Once the waffles were done the boys made their way over to the house. We ate in silence until I told everyone to get ready and put on their bathing suit. Once they left I ran upstairsand put on my bright pink bikini. I slipped on my flip flops and headed downstairs.

Everyone was downstairs when I got down. I threw my hair into a ponytail and grabbed my black Ray Bans. We headed out the door and down the dirt path. We turned onto the main peir where our boat was docked in the water. I handed my things to Nash before I dove into the water.

I swam in the crystal blue water until I reached the boat. I lifted myself into the boat with my arms and stood up. I took the key out from under the stack of towels and started the boat. I drove the boat over to the peir as evryone loaded on to the boat.

"A little bit of a warning next time you dive into the water unexpectedly. Huh?" Nash asked as he set my stuff down. I just laughed along with Kat. She knew that I was going to dive into the water. How else would I get to the boat?

"Perfect dive though" Taylor complimented me. Katina took over steering as I sat down in between Bryant and Jack Gilinsky. He complimented me on my sunglasses because he was wearing the same ones.

"So where are we going?" Matt asked.

"It's a suprise. WHy do you guys always want to know whats going on?" I complained.

"It's natural." Hayes answered. My heart started to race as we got closer to the coast. You could see the 4,000 foot rocky peaks and the beautiful shore line. Bryant was taking pictures non-stop. I guess thats your job as a photographer.

Katina turned the boat under the rocky bridge. The boys were in complete awe. We got out from under the bridge and we were surrounded in rocky walls. The clear blue water underneath us was still except for the wake from the boat.

The boat was still moving as I dove into the water. I swam to the edge of a rocky wall and started to climb. The boys just watched me from the boat. I climbed to half way on one of the sides and then jumped. I hit the water hard and then continued down into the deep ocean. The boys and Katina soon joined in on the fun. We spent most of the day just jumping off rocks and trying out new tricks.

We climbed back on the boat and continued driving around in the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel there is a little hole in the rocks where you can see sunlight. It's so pretty. The water started to come into the hole and formed a small waterfall. We drov out of the tunnel. We were just talking and goofing off until I saw dolphins swimming beside our boat. Of course I had to jump in and swim with them. Hayes was not slow to jump in besides me.

Taylor let the rope hang from the back of the boat. Hayes and I grabbed onto the rope and let the boat drag us beside the dolphins. The dolphins soon swam away and we got back on to the boat.

"Kamila! What were you thinking? You know that these waters are covered with sharks. You could have been bait!" Katina exclaimed.

"I know but it was so much fun. We used to do that as little kids all the time. I missed it."

"I know. Sorry I screamed at you. Those were really small dolphins. They must still be kids." I laughed and sat back down on the seat. I looked back over the side of the boat and saw two sharks swimming underneath us.

"Pstt Hayes."

"What?" He whispered back. I pointed my finger to underneath the boat. He looked over the side and saw the sharks.

"Woah Bryant come here." He said in excitment. Bryant came over and started to take pictures of the sharks.

We soon got home and met Seth a couple minutes later. We showed him the pictures and told him what we did today. He was so jealous that he couldn't come but he told us that his vacation is startingearly and he doesn't need to work for another two months.

I plopped down on top of Hayes on the couch and we fell asleep like that
