I pulled my new Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG coupe into the empty car space overlooking the beautiful blue waves of Byron Bay’s beach. Stepping out of the car, the cool breeze and smell of salt water hits my face bringing an automatic smile to my lips. I turned around facing the two people I called my best friends, Hailey and Monique. “Are you guys ready for this?” I ask abruptly stepping to the side of my car. “Annalee, it’s just another training session. Only this time we have a younger and hopefully hotter trainer from before” Monique lets out with a little giggle. Rolling my eyes I look over to Hailey who is staring at the two of us with an amused smile “You know, if I’m honest, I don’t really care about training, I just want to see if our new trainer is hot” she let out with a cheeky grin plastered on her face. Hailey was always like that, worrying about boys and how hot they are. Shaking my head I turn my attention back to the girls and grab my short board to go down to the surf.

Walking along the edge of the water talking to the girls I look up to seeing a tent sent up a couple of metres away from us. As we begun to get closer a tall buff figure began to appear from the shadows of the tent and walk towards us. Being in the middle of both Monique and Hailey I could feel their excitement and anticipation radiating off them as they too noticed the figure drawing closer to us.
As we got to the edge of the tent I was able to gain a good look at the handsome person standing in front of me. He was around 6ft tall, with big shoulders and muscles pulsing through his tight t-shirt. He had light stubble traced from the sides of his head down to his chin, his eyes were laced with joy as a bright blue colour stood out the most out of all his features. I had to admit he was pretty hot. I turned to look at Monique whose mouth was practically touching the floor from the shock of how hot he was. I shook my head laughing quietly to myself at how much of an idiot she was. I was brought back into reality when the stranger kindly introduced himself. “Hi girls, I’m assuming that you’re Annalee, Monique and Hailey?” he questioned in an unsure tone. Realizing that the girls were going to be no help to me as they stared fondly at the man in front of us it was up to me to do all the talking. “Ah, hi. I’m Annalee and this is Monique and Hailey to my right” I let out quickly shaking my head as I looked back at the girls. “Well it’s nice to meet you all. I’m your new trainer Archie Field, I’m here to help you get ready and in shape for your next few competitions. Now I’m going to let you girls know this is going to be hard. I don’t know what you are used to but I am going to push you all to the limit in order to get you girls results in your competitions”. His voice was firm and straight away I knew that he was serious, something about him told me that he was not going to treat us kindly when it came to training. “Right, get down into some comfortable clothes, we are going to start training” and with that he walked away.

After a two hour intense workout I had sweat dripping down my body from places I didn’t even know I could sweat from and not to mention we still hadn’t even gotten into the surf yet. While the girls continued to ogle Archie I tried hard to focus on what we had to do next. “Okay girls, I want you to go and get your boards we are going to go out the surf and you are one by one going to show me what you can do.” Archie was already on his way to the water with his board by the time we had even gotten up from our push up position in the sand.
After our four hours of training was over it was time for us to go home and get ready for school which started in 1 hour. Lucky for us our school was designed for athletes like the girls and I and we had special time tables based around our training sessions. A lot of people had gotten scholarships into special sporting academies from going to Winsten high as it was a very prestigious school and was very hard to get into due to the expense of it. Winsten High was a school you could look forward to going to each day.
The girls decided that they would just come over to my place to get ready as it was easier. They practically had their own rooms anyway so it didn’t really matter.
Pulling up to the front gate it slowly started opening allowing a view of our long drive way. It was summer now and all of the trees had full sets of leaves overthrowing shadows everywhere. The flowers and hedges looked perfect along the bendy drive way. It gave a secluded and relaxing feeling as we made our way to the house. Parking the car I made my way to the glass doors opening them fully and letting the cool air conditioning hit my face. Climbing up the long spiral staircase the three of us split off into our separate rooms to go and get ready for school.
Having a quick shower, I washed my hair and made sure that I smelt nice before getting out. Walking out of my bathroom and into my walk in wardrobe I look through it for what I can wear for the day. I stumble across my favourite pair of torn blue denim shorts and white flowing singlet. Feeling happy with my choice I walk over to my floor mirror and tie my long blonde hair into a high pony tail feeling little droplets of water cascade down my back from the wetness of my hair.
“MONIQUE, HAILEY, LETS GO, WE’RE GOING TO BE LATE” walking down the stairs I went into the kitchen finding something to eat. Hmm, what do I feel like. Opening the fridge I find dads stock of chocolate hidden behind some food in the fridge. Good old Petie leaving me some chocolate. “And what do you think you’re doing Annalee Karman Peirce?” shit. “Um, n-nothing Monique, what are you doing?” she was onto me. she’s going to kill me for eating chocolate because its ‘not part of our diet’ “You know you shouldn’t be eating that shit Anne, we have a comp next week and we can’t be ruining our chances by eating junk” Hailey pestered me as she too walked into the room. “Guys, I don’t think that eating one bit of chocolate is going to make my performance shit”. With so many competitions coming up everybody has been really strict with everything. Even my parents. “Whatever, let’s just go”.

Pulling into my usual car park I let a sigh of relief when I see Joe leaning against his car, smiling as usual. He was so sexy, with his bludging muscles outside of his shirt, his stubble traced around his face and gorgeous deep brown eyes. I still can’t comprehend the fact that he is mine and nobody else’s like honestly he just looks like a dam Greek God. Coming back to reality I step out of my car and am quickly engulfed in a massive bear hug “Happy one year anniversary baby, I got these for you” turning around to face Joe, I was surprised to see that he was holding a massive bunch of roses and chocolates in his hands. Huh, where did he pull that from? Looking up at him, I grabbed both sides of his cheeks pulling him into a kiss letting my lips fit in perfectly with his. It didn’t matter how long I had been with Joe, I always got butterflies every time he kissed me. He pulled away and gave me a gently kiss on the cheek as he whispered huskily in my ear “I love you my baby girl”. Goosebumps. “Get out of it you two faggots, this is not something I want to see this early in the morning” aw god she is an idiot “Monique, shut up you dickhead” she always knows how to make me laugh. Suddenly someone started slapping my arm. “Ouch Hailey that does actually hurt” as I turned around to face her I looked at her face curious to see what she was looking at. “Ahrm isn’t that our training?”
