Izzy's P.O.V


Today was the day Bradley would teach me how to surf. I was excited to spend time with him alone but nervous about the whole surfing part. I woke up extra early so I could prepare myself, I bought a wetsuit the week before so I just put my aztec bikini on underneath. The wetsuit being skin tight made me feel quite body consious and uncomfortable, but I couldn't just wear a bikini because I would be freezing. I'd just have to bite the bullet and deal with it I guess. Because we weren't going for a while I just tied the arms of the wetsuit round my waist so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable for too long.


I went downstairs for breakfast and Kelly was already up preparing it for all of us. I drooled at all the delicious food she had done for us. As I sat down at the table she put a plate of pancakes with fruit on top on my placemat.


'You're going to need a lot of energy for today, Izzy!'


'Thank you Kelly. This all looks so delicious.'


'I try!' She said with a wink.


After a while of just me and Kelly talking about mostly fashion and school, Bradley finally wondered down stairs looking like he had literally just got out of bed. And here's me getting up extra early to prepare myself. He smiled at me before grabbing some pancakes and taking the seat next to his mum.


'Hey mum, is it ok if I bring the boys along today with us?'


THE BOYS? Who are the boys? I'm self consious enough as it is why does he have to bring other boys too!?


'Yeah sure honey as long as Izzy doesn't mind.'


Well I couldn't exactly say I did mind because that would be rude! I just nodded my head and smiled, but the thought of being surrounded by boys made me really anxious. If you hadn't already guessed I have zero confidence.

Brad's P.O.V


I'm glad mum let me bring the lads. To be honest I wouldn't of asked if it wasn't for them. I spent the whole time texting them last night telling them how amazing Izzy is and they literally begged me to let them come. I'm not complaining though - it'll be nice to show her off to them. I told them to come to the house first so they should be here soon.

Izzy's P.O.V


I heard a knock at the door followed by greetings like 'sup' and 'yoooo'. I walked through to the hall with my beach bag and stood there, were three boys (plus Bradley) all staring at me. This made my anxiousness hit the roof.


'Told you' I faintly heard Bradley murmur.


'What?' I asked slightly confused.


'Oh nothing. This is Tristan, Connor and James' he said by pointing at each of them. 'Guys this is Izzy.'


Tristan was the tallest and skinniest out of the group. His long blonde hair complemented his bright blue eyes, he wore an animal print pair of swimming trunks and a plain black vest. He was so tall I had to crook my neck to look at him. He greeted me with a big bear hug lifting my feet off of the ground. James was next to say hi. He was obviously the most muscular one as he showed off his six pack and biceps by purposely not wearing anything to cover his top halve. Luckily, though, he wore red shorts thats weren't speedos but were tight enough to show off his *package*. He had dirty blonde hair and perfectly tanned skin to match. You could tell he looked after himself. Connor was last and was obviously the most shy out of the group he simply waved and awkwardly looked down at his feet. He had blonde/brown hair that went with his pale skin. He wore a 'Hogwarts' top and plain swimming trunks.


'Shall we go then?' Bradley said once his and my mum walked in with all the beach stuff. We decided to walk as it wasn't far to the beach from where they lived. Once we got there Kelly and my mum set up a perfect spot on the beach and started tanning straight away. After a while of talking amongst ourselves Bradley wanted to start our lesson.


'Don't go too far out Brad, she's only a beginner' Kelly said sarcastically.


I watched Bradley while he taught me how to stand on the board and all the different ways of balance, and I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I decided I wanted to try on the water and so we all head out to a spot for surfers. James, Tristan and Connor ran out straight away gliding through the water like it was second nature. Bradley grabbed my hand and pulled me into the water. It was okay when Bradley was holding me but when he let go I couldn't hold my balance and fell over about twenty times. After a while I managed to find a way that was right for me and I was doing pretty well. We all decided to go out further where there was less people. I was surfing like a pro and having a good time. These boys aren't that bad if I'm being honest.


As we got further and further away from shore, the sea was rougher. Bradley couldn't even hold himself up let alone me. He signalled me to sit down on my board and try to paddle away back to shore, but the current was too strong and even though I tried to paddle myself back to the safety of the beach it was pulling me further to the rocky part where the waves crashed hard against the sharp stones. The more I panicked the less I could control my board. And then I hit something hard and everything went black. I felt my lungs tighten in my chest and I couldn't breathe. This was it. This was the end.
