Surf

III

Monday morning
~
My alarm blared out "Drag me down" by One Direction.
My initial thought was, "crap, it's Monday" until I realized it was summer.
I turned over and picked up my phone to stop the music.
It was 6:00 am, since I lived right on the beach and 1 hour away from my school I had to get up so early in the week.
Luckily the beach I live next to is the very same one the surf camp is being held at.
I stretched up and got out of my bed, if the past was any indication I can't fall asleep after waking up.
I slipped on my robe and slippers and padded down the hall.
I walked up the stairs quietly as not to wake my parents.
I unlocked and slid open the glass door that lead to my balcony.
I perched on the rails and watched the sun rise.
It was a beautiful sight, always was down at the beach.
I took a breath of deep sea air and smiled.
The camp started at 10:00 and of we had to sleep there, in rickety cabins that had zero ventilation.
I tried to argue with Gwen about just sleeping at my house since I live two minutes from the beach but she just refused.
After the sun had risen I went back inside and into my bedroom.
I had layed out my outfit (shorts, a crop top and my favourite nikes.) and packed the night before so I just had to get ready and go.
As I got dressed I thought about Morgan and Gwen, I tried to remember when they said they would arrive at my house but I couldn't for the life of me.
I walked to my bathroom and did the usual getting ready routine, brushed my teeth and hair etc.
Usually I slightly curl my hair but since we were going to be in the water I decided to just put in a high ponytail.
When I was completely ready to go I checked the time, 7:49.
I had plenty of time to get to the beach so I put some last minute things in my bag, toothbrush, hairbrush etc.
I checked the time again, 7:57.
So Iretreated to my thinking spot, the roof.
Even though I didn't really need to think.
As I climbed up the ladder that lead to the roof I slipped on the rain water that had landed on the ladder.
"Crap," I cussed.
I tried again, this time being succesful.
I sat on the ledge of my roof, watching the world below.
The ledge has always been my thinking spot, it makes you think even when you don't really need to, sometimes it makes you think of nice things, sometimes not so much.
Today was the latter.
I started thinking about life, my future, jobs, families and all sorts of things that are said in hushed tones during summer.
I started to think about relationships and whether I will ever be in one, I'm 16 and I haven't even been kissed yet and I was starting to think I never would be.
But that's when I saw him.

Kinda cheesy, I know but hey, such is life.
