summer surf

starting a new life

I love the feeling off salt water against my skin, the water running threw my hair and the way the wind blows on my wet skin when I stand up on my board, I love surfing so much I would not be able to live without it.

Today was the first day at my new school in Queensland. My parents made us move from California to Queensland in Australia I heard that Queensland has some really good surfing competitions so I might enter in one but first I have to start practicing.

''Stephanie get up now'' I hear my mum screaming from the kitchen.

I slowly drag myself out of bed and go straight to the window and open and I stare out to the wonderful blue ocean waves rolling over and over, then an instant woft off pancakes hits my nose I then quickly run downstairs.

''morning sweet heart'' my mum says to me

''morning mum'' I reply in my sleepy voice

''excited for your first day'' I hear my dad's voice from behind me, ''actually a little nervous'' I say back.

I quickly eat my breakfast and them run back upstairs to get ready, I throw my school dress on and then go into the bathroom to do my hair, I put it in a half up and half down style, I them brushed my teeth and then got my bag and started heading to school.

As soon as I got to school I whet straight to the office to get my time table and locker number and combination. The lady at the office was really nice she even walked me to my locker so I didn't get lost and so I wasn't late to my first class. When I got to my first class witch was English, when I walked in everyone was staring at me I started to feel very uncomfterble. I quickly found a seat and waited for the teacher to come in.

When the teacher came in everyone went silent and waited for class to begin.

After English was art and I actually made a friend her name is Britney. At recess I hung out with Britney and we got along really well and she even introduced me to her other friends Lucy, Amanda, Alana and Billy. We all got along really well.

''so what do you like to do outside of school'' Brooke asked me

''um I actually surf so yeah I can't wait to go surfing after school when I get home'' I replied

''omg I have always wanted to learn how to surf'' Lucy said

''me to'' Amanda started going on.

Suddenly the bell went for third class so we had to go to class, I had science with bill and Amanda. Class went pretty fast, all we done was colour in a diagram showing the digestive system.

When we went to lunch and a group of girls came up to us and started saying mean things to Alana and Alana got really upset and ran away so I followed her to make sure that she was okay.

''hey Alana slow down are you okay'' I said trying to get her to slow down

''just leave me alone Steph I don't won't to talk about it'' I heard her say through her tears.

I followed her into the bathroom and she ran into a cubicle and started crying even more.

''Alana please open up talk to me''

''I don't want to talk about it, can you please go away'' she said still crying.

I didn't want to leave her in there all alone crying, I hated seeing people cry. She finally opened the door and threw herself into my arms.

''they have been bullying me since primary school and I am just so sick of it, they never leave me alone'' she said through sobs.

''why have they been bullying you'' I asked

''because when I was younger the leader of that group Emily lived across from me and while she got everything I got more than her so she has just been bullying me ever since my parents got divorced and now that I have nothing she thinks that she can do anything she wants and gets everything she wants'' she said stopping her tears from falling down her cheek.

I didn't know what to say so I just gave her a hug instead, then the bell went for forth and last period which was maths, and I had that class with Alana. Maths went quite fast we basically spent the whole session trying not to piss ourselves from laughing too much.

As soon as I got home I ran up to my room and grabbed my bathing soot and chucked in on along with a pair of shorts and grabbed my board and went straight to the beach.

When I got to the beach I ran straight to the water and paddled out, the feeling of the water agenst my skin felt so good. I kept paddling out and a wave was coming and when I got close enough to it I duck dived under, I opened my eyes as the wave rolled over the top of me and it looked amazing. I paddled out to the back and sat there waiting for a wave. After a minute a wave finally came alone I paddled and paddled and I caught it, I rode that wave like it was the last day on earth, I done a snap of off the top and went into the barrel, it was amazing I ran my fingers along the side of the wave and soon enough I came out of the end of the wave and dived of my board into the ocean. When I came back up I couldn't help but smile the biggest smile ever.

I paddled back to sore and started to head of back home, when I got home I went straight to the shower. When I got out of the shower I put on a pair of trackies and a plain tank top.

I turned on my phone and went on Instagram to add my new friends and to talk to them.
