Since I've arrived on a Monday my mom didn't make me go to school. I'm already enrolled though 😒

She said I should go out and explore or something. I told her I don't have anyone to take me and show me around since she's leaving to work, so she told me which freeway to take and which exit to get to the best beach, in her opinion, which is Santa Monica.

She told me there's a pier and people who perform with guitars and violins, small shops and carts to buy your name on a grain of rice or people who would make a small clay statue of your face. She says its her favorite because of the mix of people everywhere, there's people who come from all.over the place to get on the roller coaster and rides at the pacific park or to try the funnel cakes and win prizes at the games they have there. I thought it would be the perfect place to go. I think I have been to the beach a few times, its always freezing in Canada so why go swimming when you can lay in bed and watch Netflix. This sounds like a whole new experience to me though. Ferris wheels and roller coasters. Why not? Its Monday so it can't be that full can it?

***

pulled up in a parking space on the pier. I'm already in love with this place. Its fairly hot back at my moms house so I wore some white shorts with a black tank top and some classic black converse. I let my curly hair loose and I carried a bag with a towel and some flip flops in case I wanted to sit on the sand.

It's already cooler over here and I'm in awe of everything. Driving here I saw they had a carousel and there was a Bubba Gump here. I've never gone to that restaurant but I saw it in the movie Forrest Gump and its on my bucket list to eat there so maybe I'll stop by there for lunch. Its nine thirty a.m. I forgot it was Monday and left the house not realizing how early it was. They have a trapeze school and an arcade. I love it here.

I was walking around when I noticed someone was shadowing me.

You're probably just being paranoid......

Maybe so but I've got to be alert.

I turned around and sat on an empty bench and pretended to rummage around looking for something and I grabbed my phone and tucked a pocket knife on the inside of my palm and placed the phone in my back pocket.

Then slowly I reached for my pepper spray, holding it tightly as I walked towards a restaurant called Pier Burger.

I saw him walking towards me faster and I felt his eyes on my back like daggers.

When I felt him nearly five feet away from me I turned on my heel to face him with my hand on the nozzle of the pepper spray.

He stopped with one foot in the air ready to take a step.

"U-um h-hi?" He was stuttering and looking at the bottle with a panicky expression.

"You need to tell me why you were following me, who you are, and what do you want," I said with an icy tone dripping from every word I said.

He took a deep breath and said, "Well m-my names Cristian a-and I just wanted to a-ask if you go to the school nearby?"

That's when I decided to look at him. He has tam skin but not extremely dark, just tan. He was tall and skinny, but he had muscles, you could tell. I couldn't tell from his chest because he was wearing a button-front shirt, that was a really nice light blue, paired with some dark gray joggers. He had curly black hair and light brown eyes. And he was wearing some black vans.

Now why would you wear that to the beach?.....

"I took a freeway to get here do.you consider that nearby?" I responded not letting any emotion show on my face besides the scowl I had since I pointed my spray at him.

"Well I was just wondering I come to the beach almost everyday and I've never seen you around here.....so I kind of figured...."

I just looked at him.

He is not an ugly dude.

"Our mascot is the titans..." Well he at least stopped stuttering.

Wait.....titans?.......

"Actually I think you're right. I think I go to the same school as you.....what'd you say your name was again?"

"Why does it matter you're still pointing that spray on me."

"Maybe because I don't know who you are and for all I know you could be a killer."

"Do I look like a killer to you???"

"I don't know. Looks can be decieving."

"Well I go to Sea Coast High, not sure if we go to the same one but if we do then I can be your personal guide to anything and everything we have."

He ended that sentence with a small smirk. Hmph.

"For somebody who was stuttering so much at the beginning of this conversation, you seem to have grown a lot more confident," I told him.

"What makes you say that?" He asked still holding up that irritating smirk.

"You carry yourself with more confidence and you keep smirking like your life depends on it."

He started laughing and I just looked at him, he was bending over with laughter, I couldn't really see what was so funny about it though.

"You crack me up beach girl."

"That's not my name."

"Well it is now. I have a feeling you won't tell me what your name is yet but I will probably find out soon. My class will be starting soon so I better be going, see you soon beach girl."

And with that he just winked and walked away. I have a feeling things are going to be changing a lot now.
