Remember December

Chapter:2

"Are you sure" I ask him again.

He chuckle. "Have I ever put your life in danger?"

"Hmmm well let's see" I place my chin on my hand and ponder on all the things we did. I scowl as Eric flick me on the head. "What was that for?" I rub my forehead and glare at him. "I was being sarcastic" he shook his head and grab my hand tightly.

I look down at the waves that was crashing. I flinch as they repeat. Eric sigh and place his surfboard down on the water. I gulp and look toward it as my only protection, well that and the wet suit I have on. "Come on, I'm right behind you" I breathe out through my nose and sat on the board. I lay my stomach flat down on the board. He steadied the board and held onto it.

"Now paddle" I turn my head toward him confuse. "What?""I said to paddle, remember when you first go into the water" I shook my head and sat on the board. "You said to find the perfect wave" he look back at the sound of waves crashing. I grumble as the sun rays zeroed in on me. I wipe the water off my forehead or was it sweat?

"How about we do this together?"

I smile. "Now you're talking"

I breathe heavily as I paddle. I try to keep myself from falling into the water. I kept myself balance. I watch as Eric duck dive as a wave came. I smile as I watch him lean his body up slowly at a time. My eyes widen as I saw a huge wave. He got up and enter the wave. He made it look so easy. I roll my eyes as he went up and down. Showoff.

I resume back to paddling. I kept my eyes train on the top of the board and remember to balance myself. I gasp as a wave knock me off my board. I shriek as I try to hold onto the board, but the wave was strong. I swam up to only have the wave knock me down again. My eyes widen, as my lungs crave for air. My heart beat fast as negative thoughts of dying enter my head.

My body went into overdrive panicking. I swam upward to the shore. I cough sea water and inhale as oxygen enter my body again. "Chels!" I look to see Eric swimming toward me. I breathe again and swam toward him. I look around for the board, but didn't see it. "Are you hurt?" he ask me. Before I shook my head. Eric pull me toward him as he swam.

"What are you doing you can't hold me up or we'll both drown"

"So what I just want to make sure you're alright"

I pull away from him. "I'm fine" I continue on swimming toward the shore. As we reach the shore. I saw our boards lie on the sand. Before I could relax. A huge weight knock me down. Before I could taste sand. A hand wrap around my waist and grab my hand. I turn to see Eric smiling.

He pull me up. "Thank goodness we don't need any more accidents and worries"

I nod. "I know what'll cheer you up"

"And what is that?"

"Shopping spree!"

I try to keep my lip from frowning. "Really?"

He cock his head to the side. "Don't you like shopping?"

"Yeah if it's for books, but I-

The clapping of his hands interrupt me. "Great we'll go buy-

My eyes widen. "That's great, but I don't spend boy's money on the first date"

"You don't? But I thought-

"Well you thought wrong, how about we just get to know each other" I suggest.
