"TA DA!!!" I proudly said after spending 2 hours building my sandcastle. I was out at the beach with my best friend, Elvin. Again. In fact, we used to hate each other and I'm dead serious.
How we met? Well, we became neighbours at the age of 9. Elvin was a mischievous kid back then. He had those evil black eyes and messy brown hair, while I got dark brown eyes and straight dark brown hair. He used to throw rocks at the birds and oooh, I'm so "lucky". The tree which the birds were living in happens to be in front of my room. Therefore, while throwing the rocks at them, they ended up breaking my bedroom window instead of killing the birds. "Good" throwing skills he got there huh. However, that's not it. I was studying in my room so a rock somehow managed to hit my forehead. I wasn't panicking or anything. I was annoyed. I used to hate boys ever since I was in kindergarten because my classmate, who was a boy, picked his nose and touched me. Almost everyone stayed away from me, even the teachers. Therefore, I tried my very best not to get involved with boys or whatever that has anything to do with boys but it seems like the world hates me and so I had to live beside this scumbag. I hated Elvin a lot. Elvin's mother ended up paying for the window and she was so sorry that she forced him to stay over for one night so that he can "express his guiltiness". Erm...I don't get how can staying over for one night helps, though the cookies that he brought over were delicious. Anyways, I was being mean to him. I never talked to him and whenever he tried to start a conversation I would end it with a harsh sentence. Also, all he did was tell us a long speech about how sorry he was and blah blah blah. I almost fell asleep while listening to his speech which I bet he totally memorised. However, before he went home he asked, "Do you hate me?". I answered with a simple yes and for the next 3 years, we were arch enemies. Plus, students in my school were laughing at me because of that scar on my forehead, which made me hate him even more. For some stupid bloody reason, my school didn't allow us to keep fringe. Now, my scar is covered by my fringe since I am in Secondary. Finally. We were in the same school so we kept on pulling pranks on each other. The pranks became more and more fun that we somehow ended up becoming friends. On one fine day, he asked me this question," Hey, it seems like we are friends now, so do you want to prank Mr Keith?"
I replied,"DUH, HE'S THE WORST TEACHER I EVER HAD SO FAR!" Therefore, we became best friends a.k.a prank buddies.
Back to the beach, we were competing to see who built the best sandcastle. I know it's too childish for us since we're both 15, but hey, we only built sandcastles so that we could admire them and then DESTROY them. By the way, the beach is the place where we hang out most of the times since it's my favourite place on earth. Feeling proud of myself, I turned around and saw Elvin's sandcastle. WOAH. I give up, his sandcastle was WAYYYYY better than mine. Me: WOAH, Elvin, how did you...
Elvin: HAHA. Impressive isn't it? I guess one more point for me being better than you.
Me: My points are still higher than you..hehe.
Elvin: Yeah, it's because you're a girl.
Me: Ugh, just admit it at the fact that I can win you in video games and not just because I'm a girl and so you were "giving in" to me.
Elvin: Nope, I was giving in to you.
Me: Ugh, sometimes, you really can be an ignorant idiot.
Elvin: I know, I know. As long as you keep on calling me that, it shows that I am doing a great job on annoying you.
Me: You certainly did an excellent job on that. You should receive an award or something.
After having fun destroying our sandcastles, we decided to, well, be immature again. We played rock paper scissors shoot and then we started running around. Elvin was on the path where it was meant for cyclists ONLY and unfortunately a cyclist was riding his bicycle towards Elvin's direction and so the cyclist was about to hit him. I immediately pushed Elvin off the path, fell and landed unceremoniously on the hard concrete ground with my head hitting the ground. Then, everything went into a total blackout.
