It's too bright, I can feel the welcoming awareness that disappears from my head before my body wakes up from the best sleep ever.
Schools just ended and I'm free from the hell I have been going to. I can still don't understand how a pupil should be expected to be successful but wakes up at seven to be at school at eight, then go on for eight hours of studying. I'm not that type of person. No thank you I'm much better at the practical stuff. Opening one eye to see the light streaming in from my window I can see the great weather I'm having today.

I stretch my arms above my head and yawn. The feeling is like a blessing form above. Then glancing at the alarm clock on my nightstand I can see a blurry 9:30 on it.

"Ooo shit" I can't stop my self from saying realising I have really been sleeping in and I'm late for my swimming lessons I'm teaching. The kids in my neighbourhood is my income the next two months and there parents won't be happy to hear I'm late the first day.

With a roll on to my side I swing my legs over the bed and drop them to the floor in search of my pink fluffy unicorn slippers. It's a must whenever the floor heaters are off during summer. Running in to my bathroom I turn to look at the mirror in horror of what I'm seeing.

"O my good, this can't be happening" the pure desperation in my voice is so clear. I need a miracle to save me. Texting Zoe I will be at the pier 5 minuts late based on the messy hair day I've been waking up with. I throw on my swimsuit and a par of jean short on and frantically try to tame the beast on my head will running like a maniac down the two flights of stairs to enter are basement where the family store all of there shit, including my neon green bike I got on my birthday when I turned teen. I know I'm a bit too big but I chaos things can't always fit. Throwing everything out of my way to drag it out, when it's out I jump on it to bike to the pier.

"Uhhh, your late" says my best friend while I climb of the miniature bike trying to breath a lung full of air.
"Yeah like I already haven't texted you about it" dropping my shoulders and starting to go over to the line of kids waiting for me and Zoe to begin the lesson.
"You could have started without me you know" I tell Zoe and try not to laugh due to the face she's making.
" Yeah right like I'm interested in these kids. I'm just here for the money and you know it." Looking over at me she says"Don't look so smug. I told you when you asked if I was busy this summer that I would be busy making money. Plus my mom always tells me to be honest to who ever I'm talking to."

Zoe is the definition of honesty. Me and her have been hocked at the waist since kindergarten. My brother always says we are basically sisters by now and that's rich coming from him when he is the one related to me. But I know that my so called "sister" don't like the remembrance to us not because of my crazy and very wired family. No no, but because Zoe has been carrying the biggest and the heaviest crush on my brother Sam since about the first time she saw him and chose me to be her best friend. I'm not mad about the so called taken advantage of as much as getting a person that not only wants to hang out with me but also tries to make herself a permanent presence in my life but at my brothers side. The bantering and flirtatious comments between those two is a romcom I would watch every day.

Counting the kids one by one and making sure everyone that doesn't know how to keep a float stays out of the water without my direct supervision.
Waving my hand I say " Hi guys I'm Bella and this is Zoe" pointing a finger in the direction of Zoe who sits on a sunbathing bed with her glasses down over her eyes. Looking back at the tiny humans I smile encouraging them all "We will teach you to swim so you can have lots of fun this summer. I'm hoping you all will be great swimmers by the end of the eight weeks I'll be her teaching the lessons. For starters I need all of you to be careful so no accidents happens" I look in to everyone's eyes and make sure I don't have to worry about having to tell one of the parents that, ooo sorry Harry won't be coming home because he loves to swim so much he probably be sleeping on the sea floor from now on. After checking all there names I start the lesson.

Two hours later...
I would call a successful two hours with a lot of splashing and kicking in the water. Turns out I'm extremely tiered even if I only been up for a short time. Caring for children is a hard task I'm not to happy about but money is money and I need it.
"Okey thanks for today remember to practice on the tre movement on your legs. Frog, grain and Bang. One by one the kids goes up from the water to dry of and go back home with there parent. Looking over the chart I write down the name on all of them plus a list of phone numbers in case it would be necessary to contact a responsible person for the kid.
" I think I need a break" Zoe breathed out, still haven't move a muscle since I started.
"That was the first lesson how will you survive" I say sarcastically and chuckled to myself.
"I don't know I'm not sure I can do this all summer, I'm not built the same way you are. I'm fragile like a porcelain doll, you know like the one we saw at the second hand shop" she explains.
"You don't mean the creepy one with a crack skull and a scary haunted vibe, right?" I ask.
"No of course not! I mean the cute with pastel colours and a tiny flower in the hand. Why would I mean the creepy one?" Scowling at me she says "You are the creepy one if any of us have to be it."
"Bullshit you know I'm a pussy when it comes to horror. I'm the one to ask for a Disney movie on the first date and you know that because I have been asking that on a date before" I clap back with.
"True, yeah you're right I'm the creepy one but you love me no lesser do you?" Moving her eyebrows up and down like a crazy person she looks back at me. Smiling broadly I shake my head and we start to laugh.

The laugh becomes so easy whenever she's around and a minute turns in to five of us just laugh at something know one will think is funny but us. A low cough sounds and both me and Zoe turns around and my jaw drops. My eyes move from the sort cut chestnut brown hair to the big green eyes meting mine. Travelling down his broad shoulders and his big chest here his t-shirt is licked to his muscles, making my stomach drop in reaction. He is tall almost as tall as Sam and he plays basketball which in my brain makes him tall. My eyes slowly keeps on going downward to his thighs. I mean they are huge like really big. In my swim-team we would call them thunder thighs because of the amount of power they would give. Only imagining how hard and strong they would feel against my body. It took me one, okey maybe teen seconds for me to stop ogling him.

Zoe saves me by throwing her hand out and shaking his with the most enthusiastic shake ever that not only makes her go up and down but almost takes his arm out of its sockets, which looks like it would be harder for a 5 foot 6 long red head in her girly area but apparently not. " Hello there I'm Zoe and this is my mute friend Bella" Zoe says. Then I wake up from the dreamy plaice I was stuck in and say faster then what's supposed to be consider cool " nope just friend not mute, I can talk if you wish, just tell me too." Turning 20 degrees hotter and a color of beetroot red on my cheeks I stammer " Not only if you like, I can talk just fine without an order, but I can also be kind quiet. Not like totally silent but you know a little shy. Not that I'm that now, now it looks like I can talk for days. Omg make me stop!" I beg Zoe who just stands next to me trying to hold in her laughter.

The brown haired goddess shakes his head a little to make sense of the moment and stretches his hand to take mine. " Hi Zoe and Bella nice to meet you." Looking over to a girl not older than nine he says " I'm Caroline's brother Jake. I hope I'll be seeing you around." With that he does a three sixty and walks away. Still staring as his arm when he opens the passenger door to his car to let his sister in and im staring with no shame in my body. Only to stop when I no longer can see the taillights of the vehicle.
"This summer will probably be the best one yet" Zoe says also still looking in to the direction he went.
" Who was that?" I ask flabbergasted of the prospect of maybe being in his dream just as he will be in mine tonight, living there rent free.
