Hi i'm pearl and this is a story on how I started to love the water. Yes you might think that this will be a boring story but I promise you im like no one else you will ever know. my mom says im special but she doesn't know how special I am. I never told this story to anyone, but I haved lived this story with a lot of my friends who know me better then myself.
It all started a week after the day school got out for summer. I was so excited because know I could just sit up in my room and do nothing but read. I was a bookworm and I was shy at first, but according to my friends i was very 'outgoing' when you got to know me. I lived in Australlia for most of my life but after my dad left me and my mom we decided to move to Hawaii to get away from all the bad memories me and my mom had faced. My dad left us when I was 15, because my mom caught him cheating on her with my English teacher, Ms.Blake. I always loved that English class until that happen, now whenever i think of that class I gag a little. my mom knew it was hard for me to take that class, but also to go back to that school. so we moved to Hawaii to start a new life which I was kinda of thankful for.
but another important part about myself is I hated water, I never understood why but I did. And you would think just because my name involves the ocean that I would love it but wrongo. I hated it. even though we lived near the beach I never went to the water only the sand. there i would find shells and seaglass which i would hang in my oom. that is the closest i got to the water without touching it. bit it wasn't a weird hatered, i wasn't scared of all water only salt water like the ocean. i was scared of it because
*flashback*
i was 5. me and my dad were on are boat going fishing.
"look daddy a big fish" i said while pointing to this fin that came out of the water. my dad quickly turned around and said something. i couldn't hear because when he was saying it the fish rammed into the boat and made me fall into the water.
"AWWWWWWWWW" i said while falling into the water.
when i was under i opened my eyes and i was face to face with a shark. it was a tiger shark to be exact. he open his mouth ready to eat me up. i saw my life flash before my eyes. i was balling my eyes out under water if that was possible and closed my eyes waiting for the end.
all of a sudden two arms wrapped themselves around my arms and dragged me upwards. when i opened my eyes i was on the boat. that's when i started to really cry.
the wost pain i ever felt was coming from my leg i looked down and saw blood gushing out. i then passed out.
i woke up a couple of hours later. i was in a white room with white bed with white sheets. to much white for my taste. as i look around saw my mom at the side of the bed crying into her hands. well my dad was next to her softly rubbing her back to console her.
"mom, why are you crying?" when i said that her head shot up and i could see a little glint of happiness in her eyes. i then added on "what happen?" that's when i remembered what happen. i was attacked by a shark.
i then quickly looked down at my leg and it was bandaged up. my mom then spoke "oh pearly (my nickname) you got attacked by a shark- when your dad pulled you out of the water the shark grazed your leg- he then left a tooth behind inside your leg." she said and then too a bag with a shark tooth inside out of her bag and showed me. she started againg "you will have a small scare now." and after hearing that news i felt alittle tired and started to close my eyes
"hush pearl now go to bed we wil see you in the morning." said my dad
*end of flashback*
i use to have bad dreams about that day but they stopped a while ago.
i was turning 18 that day and i decided to stay in my room the whole day. it was around 7 o'clock when i herd a knock on my door. i swiftly looked over only to see my two best friends Emily who was like my twin sister and nikki. we became instant friends the first day i went to the high school in Hawaii.
Me i had Brown hair that had a little hint of red in it and i didn't even color my hair. i was 5'5in and had big boobs. my eyes changed color depending on my mood. hazel when i was calm. Brown when i was angry. blue when i was sad. And purple when i was feeling happy. lets just say that my eyes were always purple. thinking to myself i had the creepest eyes ever. i had beautiful olive color skin also. i was also shy, a bookworm, awakward, and alittle weird. i never had a boyfriend, and i was really self contiouas.
Emily looked just like me but her hair was just brown and she had plain old green eyes. her personality was the opposite from mine she was a party girl and i loved that about her but she olnt did good, she never drank or swore, but she always liked to go to parties that had people drunk there. you could say she was a goody two shoes with a edge to her. she always got me to do stuff i would never do. like kiss the hottest boy in school one time at a party that she forced me to go to. he didn't remember anything because he was drunk but i did. lets just say she was my twin sister, she completed me.
As for Nikki she was a badass. she had black hair with hazel eyes that i swear glow red when shes angry. she was a rebel and she as well made me do things i would never think of doing. like once she forced me, her, and Emily to all get small tattoos of are names on are ankles. that hurt like a son of a bitch. i wish i could have her confidence and be a badass. she was teaching me as you could say, but we were failing a little bit. she also completed me.
us three were like three pees in a pod a good one, a bad one, and an inbetweener. nothing could break us, only pull us closer.
well on that night the both of them dragged to a beach party. yeah i now a BEACH party how ironic seeing how i hated the water. well i got a couple of beers in me, and i don't drink a lot so after 3 i was a little wasted. not two wasted but drunk enough to go into the water and swim. that's when it all happen.
SO THIS IS MY SECOND BOOK. IM TRYING OUT DIFFERNT THINGS AND ALL THAT BUT I HOPE YOU READ/VOTE/COMMENT AND PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME <3333333333
