Chapter 6

JJ's POV

I gather all of my students in the sand before we start the class. Kie stands beside me with a new surf suit that suits her very well. John B also handed her his surfboard.

"Good morning, kids!"

"Good morning, JJ!" they reply back.

"So today we want to focus on the things we were focusing on last class, just to consolidate them. But today we will have some help. This is Kiara and she will help me teach the class today. She's out of practice so don't judge her." she slaps my arm and I laugh.

"He's just a little insecure because he knows I'm better than him." she states.

"Oh, please!" I say.

"You know what? At the end of class they will be the ones to tell us who is better." she suggests. "What do you think, guys?"

"YES!" all of them yell.

"Okay, okay. Let's get into the water then! Remember be careful!"I say to them.

"Wow, you just really used the words "Remember be careful". And you directed those words to kids. I think Im fully living in an alternative universe. You, JJ Maybank, were the one to say that," she tells me clearly shocked. She doesn't let me answer her back since she's already getting into the water to meet my students.

I have to remember to say these words to them every single time. Let's just say that getting this job wasn't the easiest thing ever, even though the two owners of the surf shop who offers the classes, are my best friends. When John B asked me to be the instructor I was thrilled. Getting money while surfing and still being able to make fun of kids, was my dream.

"I can't believe you asked him to be the instructor. You asked JJ, the most irresponsible, immature person we both know to be a damn surf instructor to kids." Sarah yelled at John B.

"C'mon babe, he's like the best person to teach someone how to surf! Plus I told you that I didn't have time to be the one to do it. We are currently building the outdoor area and I still have to run this place." he explains.

"Yeah, Sarah Cameron, you're actually hurting my feelings right now." I tell her.

"Shut up, JJ, Im talking to my boyfriend!" she orders.

"Yes, man." I joke.

"John B are you out of your mind? These parents are trusting their kids to our institution and to the instructor we choose. Be honest, would you trust our kid to JJ?" she inquires.

"I mean, yes, I guess." he stutters.

"Then, you're delusional, because I wouldn't! He doesn't even know how to take care of a damn plant! He thinks every plant is weed!" she yells at him.

"Ouch," I say pointing to my heart.

"Sarah, babe, he promised he would take a course to be an actual instructor." he says.

"What?" I ask confused. He smacks my arm and I flinch. I immediately realize I have to go on with this. "Yeah, I am very motivated to take this course and assure that the kids are very safe while being taught by me," I say nodding my head.

"See?" John B asks her while pulling for a hug. "He's going to be the best instructor ever, I promise," he reassures her. "Also you're not pregnant, are you? Because you just talked about a kid being ours." he ask her panicking.

"No, I'm not pregnant, dumbass." she smacks his head.

"Im going to take this course and rub the diploma in your face just so I can prove to you Im going to be the best instructor you could ever have." I face her. I start leaving the store but stop to face her again. "Oh, and Im going to be the best godfather to your kid!"
