"You're a wave, Darcy. It comes towards you calmly and slowly, but soon you start to realize it's not calm at all. And it sends you underwater to drown.
You're like that wave. Calm at first, but as soon as you get too close to it, you start to drow...
The sun shining at my face wakes me up. I roll around the bed and see that the clock shows 14.34. I groan and get up. My feet carry me to the bathroom and I do my business, wash my face and brush my teeth.
I go downstairs and see Tina isn't here. Maybe she is sleeping or she spent the night with some guy at his place. I walk into the kitchen and make myself cereal. Just when I finish, I hear footsteps go down the stairs. I see Tina. She is wearing a plain white t-shirt with her white lace panties.
"Good morning." She yawns and stretches.
"Good morning to you, too." I say back to her.
Another pair of feet can be heard coming down the stairs. I look up and see an unfamiliar guy. He has brown hair, which reaches his shoulders. He is wearing a white t-shirt and black skinny jeans. And on his feet are white Converse.
"Hello?" I say to him. He looks at me confused.
"Oh, hi." He turns to Tina. "I'll see you around." She nods and I watch the guy walk out of the house.
I turn my head to Tina, who is now walking into the kitchen. I follow her and a confused look is still on my face.
"W-who was that?" I question her.
"That was Mike." I nod, while she grabs a glass and fills it with water. "Can my head be any heavier?" She groans and swallows down a pill with water. "I was so drunk last night. I wonder how I didn't throw up. Or maybe I did?" She shrugs her shoulders and drinks the rest of the water.
My phone rings and I look at the text.
Liam: hope u r awake
My eyes widen with realization.
Me: yeah
I sprint up the stairs. Tina is shouting after me. But I don't care. I quickly put on my black bikini. Over it, I put a loose purple crop top and quickly pull on black ripped shorts. On my feet, I put my black Vans. I let my hair loose. Next, I stuff my underwear in my fringe bag along with my wallet. I grab a towel and stick it in there as well.

Liam: I am here
I race down the stairs and out the door. I yelled "bye" to Tina, too. But I also left her confused. I spot Liam's car and I quickly run down the steps. I get in, out of breath.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah." I am still breathing heavily. "I just woke up about half an hour ago and I needed to get ready real quick." Liam laughs. "Plus, I left Tina completely confused."
"I could have waited, you know?" He says between laughs. He finally drives off and towards wherever we're going.
"I don't like to keep people waiting." I have caught my breath by now.
