S4e4|| THE SWELL

(Y/n) pov

It happened a few times over the summer. There'd be a storm out over the Atlantic, hundreds of miles away...sending ripples right over the ponds. I grew up in Figure Eight so I couldn't tell much. But, if you were a Pogue, well, that's another story. No matter where you were, you could just hear it.

Today, though, is not your normal day. The weather is decent; the sun is out and there isn't that much wind. It's a perfect day, one might say. For my friends and I? It's the best day for a beach trip!

It doesn't matter much about what you were doing that day, honestly. Short-staffed? Too bad! Go have fun on the brake, you've earned it!

"Oh! This swell is perfect for us!", I cheered happily.

"You guys can't be serious. I mean, come on, surfing today?", Pope scoffed.

"I don't have any better ideas. What else do you expect us to do?", Kie asked calmly.

"For starters, I don't wanna sell the five million dollars I have in my hand for 50k so, I'm going to do some research on this thing.", he answered, referring to the amulet in his hand.

"Ya heard my girl, right? It's a perfect swell day, man.", JJ said to his friend.

"Heard the first time, and there'll be other swell days.", his friend replied.

"Wow, seriously? Such a fun man you are today, Pope.", I sighed, rolling my eyes at his statement,

After all the discussion, Pope left the building to gather more research on the amulet. We, however, went to the beach. One question, though, where's Cleo? Grabbing bait for the shop? Hm, okay, as long as she's safe.

It took us about fifteen minutes to get there but, with JJ's help, we pulled up to the beach with amazing swells. How did we know it was fifteen minutes? Well, we got through five songs of my summer playlist before we arrived to it. I do math through music, not my brain.

I giggled happily as I placed my feet on the sand, the grains tickling my toes. Usually I hate it because of the texture but, today is a good day, and I won't let it bug me. If it's a good day, I'll make sure it stays a good day. Nothing is gonna ruin today. After all, life is way better at the beach.

"Hey! Easy with that thing, man, I've had her since I was three.", JJ warned my brother.

The thing he was referring to was his beach lounge chair. Can it still hold him? I mean, unless it was his dad's then it will. Eh, whatever, I'm shutting my brain down for today. I'm just gonna let the waves and music control my mood.

Well, we were having a good day until these fuckass kooks pulled up. As per usual, they were lead by my boring brother, Topper, and his new narcissistic girlfriend, Ruthie. Seriously, I mean, what kinda name is Ruthie? That's the name of a girl who has mommy issues!

"They can't be fucking serious! They could literally park anywhere else! This beach has a lot of space and they choose to park here?! They're gonna fucking cause problems and then act like they're the victims.", I complained.

"Look, today is gonna be a good day. Also, uh, Topper's coming, so, uh, yeah.", JJ assured us.

Sighing, I walked over to Sarah and John B. After all, he always picks problems between them. Topper is just an ankle biter. Actually, the opposite of that; he's all bark and no bite whatsoever.
