Surfer Girl

Dad's Song

Isabella Pov

I felt pressure on my side and I felt my arms all like Jell-O. I fluttered my eyes and I guess I forgot to close my curtains last night; I took my left arm from under Hay and then did the same with my right since it was under Jay’s head. I got my Rasta bikini top with plain black bottoms and my Rasta swim short I’m going to be using today at the competition. You can say my father was a big Bob Marley fan. I took out my surf board actually it was my father’s all- time favorite board. It was a customized surf board which had a quote from Bob Marley and the Bob Marley colors on the board like tie dye. I hide the surf board in my closet and got a big blue dip t-shirt that had the word print Hurley in yellow. I woke up Hay and Jay and I walked down with them to the kitchen to see everyone up, I guess they are going to the competition I guess. I still needed to talk to Maria about this so, I did what anyone would do I grabbed her hand and took her outside in the backyard away from the door.

                “Maria, can I tell you something or do you know already?” I ask her.

                “If you are asking that your competing today at the surf meet and that you want to go last, I’m guessing?” She says with a smile.

                “Yeah.” I told her sheepishly.

                “It’s alright, Isabella I’m here for you.” She tells me hugging me, which indeed I needed especially today.

You see my father was well known around the world since he won over 25 competitions around the world and I was his biggest fan and still are. You know how I told you he died well, he was surfing in the Australian water and didn’t know that there were string rays there and when he fell from his surf board and got attacked, where the strings way got its tail right by his abdomen and when the person that was with him saw that he wasn’t back and well when he saw my father’s board just floating there he dove in and saw my dad was losing a lot of blood and let’s just say he tried his best to safe my father. All I know is he’s in a better place and I can tell you that I bet he’s surfing up there with some true legends. Once thinking again I saw I was left here day dreaming about my dear father and the good times we had. I walked backed to the house and saw that everyone was gone and I saw a note from Maria I’m guessing.

                Isabella, we left to the surfing competition and we will be there rooting for you even though the boys are going to be shocked anyways meet you there mija.

                Maria

                Aha of course Maria would try to make me laugh and it worked. I remember when she would put notes for us and we would try to find her around the house it was a good time. I ran to my room and got my dad’s surf board and walked to the beach since it was like right in the backyard and went to the booth to check in. I saw some surfers I knew before I started to surf and said hello. Once I got to the Booth to check in they gave me my color shirt to wear so the judges can see what you do. I took off my Hurley shirt and got my Purple shirt on. I got my phone and called Maria.

                -Hello, Isabella is everything alright?- Maria asks worriedly.

                -Yeah Maria it is I called you to see where you guys were located at?- I asked her.

                -We are over here In the middle where you can see everything.- she tells me.

                -alright bye Maria.- I tell her hanging up when she said her goodbye.
