A Boy And His Bike

A loud bang echoed throughout the entire house, followed by footsteps racing up the stairs. I opened my eyes and looked at my surroundings. I was still half asleep so I couldn't function what just happened. My bedroom door burst open.

"You idiot!" My dad roared with laughter as he notice I was laying next to my bed. Yep..that's right... I fell out of the bed and didn't even notice.

I didn't say a word, I just sleepily smiled. I could hear my dad still laughing to himself once he left my room, leaving me to get up and get ready. I grabbed my clock that sat on my nightstand. 10:30. To me that was still early. Fuck it! I sighed and placed my head on the ground, curling up into a ball. It didn't phase me that I was still on the floor. I closed my eyes and fell back sleep.

I only slept an hour after the incident. Technically I didn't have a choice considering my dad was shouting me, telling me my grandma was on the phone and wanted to speak to me. 'Meh' I said to myself before finally getting off of the floor and heading downstairs. I entered the kitchen, my dad was in the middle of explain to my grandma about me falling out of the bed. He acted like it was the funniest this in the world. He smiled over at me and handed me the phone.

"Hey grandma" I mumbled, rubbing my eyes.

"Good morning, did you sleep well?" Her soft voice gave me comfort.

"I did, how are you?" A plate of pancakes was placed in front of me. I high fived my dad.

As I ate, my grandma asked how my first day on Santa Carla had been. Dad had already informed her about Madison. Memories came flooding back from the night, one person in particular. Marko. I barely knew him, but there was a strange attraction to him. There was something about him.

"Chandler is by far the best character on friends!" I blurted out.

"I'm gonna have to disagree with you and go with Joey" she argued back, reaching over and stealing a handful of fries off of my plate.

I spent a majority of the day with Madison. She didn't have a day shift,which benefited me tones. Even though I wasn't one for shopping, it's what our day consisted of.

"Can you believe it's already half 8" I exclaimed looking at her watch.

"Shit! I better get to work or else I'm going to be fired. I'm meant to be covering for someone" Madison stood up. "I'll speak to my boss about getting you a job their, we have a vacancy"

"You don't have to.." I began to protest.

"Shit up, I'm doing it. Same time tomorrow?" I nodded and watched her jog off.

I scanned the crowd to see if I could find him, but he was no where to be seen. I huffed and decide to make my way down to the beach. In the distance, I heard the sound of motorcycles approaching the boardwalk. I took no notice. I slipped of my shoes, picked them up and walked towards the ocean. The sand was soft against my feet but cold, just how I liked it. I found a spot a few inches away from the water and took a seat.

I looked out, studying the ocean. It was such a pretty colour during the day, but at night dark and dull. As I watched the calm waves come and go I started to daydream, blocking out everything.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I heard a familiar voice say next to me. I'm not going to lie, my heart fluttered. I looked up to see Marko, hiding a smirk behind his gloved hand.

"Oh I'm sorry" I apologised. Trying my best not to smile but failing miserably.

"It's fine...Naomi?"

"Yes Naomi well done" I giggled.
