Hi everyone, this is my first story on this site so I don't know how good it is. Anyway I hope you like it.
"Lucy, c'mon Riker's here!" I hear my mum say from the kitchen. My name is Lucy Taylor, I'm eighteen and I am about to start my senior year. I quickly change into some black skinny jeans, a checked shirt and a pair of converse. I'm not your typical girl, instead of enjoying make-up and shopping I prefer playing music and doing more 'guy' stuff. I quickly brush my hair before heading to the kitchen to join my mum and Riker. Riker is my next door neighbour and my best friend. He is also my crush of two years however he doesn't know. Luckily. Anyway me and my mum have known the Lynches since I was little. Riker and his two brothers Ross and Rocky always were protective of me and Rydel 'cause we were the only girls in the group. I smile at him before moving to my mum and kissing her cheek.
"I can't believe you are starting your senior year Lu" she mummers as I grab some toast. "Think how I feel mum! I have exams and prom this year" I reply as Riker and I leave to meet the rest of them. I look over at Riker. I start to notice things about him that I had not really looked at before. Like the way his platinum hair almost glowed in the sunlight or how his perfectly toned abs were on show through his shirt. I am brought out of my thoughts by making contact with a brick wall. I stagger backwards and Riker grabs hold of me from behind. "Thanks" I say quietly as Rydel, Ross, Rocky and Ratliff join us. We make our way to the school. When we arrive some of our other friends come and join us.
"Hey Luce! How was your summer?" Asks Maria. "It was great" I reply before being consumed by my thoughts.
"Right then, how's about we go surfing?" Ross asks us. We were just chilling at the Lynches. (We always hang out there because their house is bigger. And has a pool. But also because I feel more comfortable there. Did I mention they have a pool in their back garden?) "Great idea" Riker and Rocky say in unision. "Why don't you want to go Luce?" Riker asks me. He knew how I was feeling even though he was facing the other way, that was a beautiful part of our friendship, we knew how the other was feeling without them saying anything. "I have no idea what to do, and I have never learnt" I explain. "Well, it's about time you did" was Riker's answer before we left for the beach.
"Rike, you know that this is going to end badly don't you?" I say as he litterally drags me to the sea. "You'll be fine when you get the hang of it, trust me" he answers. We put our boards on the waves and begin to paddle out. I watch as he catches a wave perfectly. "Show off!" I yell before having a go myself. I make my way to a wave and nervously stand up. Before I know it, I'm surfing it and not failling. "There you go Luce, told you that you could do it!" Riker exclaims. This was then my cue to fall of my board. I hoist myself back up. "You were saying?" I say sarcastically before we both start into a laughing fit.
"Hey, earth to Lucy!" I notice a hand shaking in front of me. "You okay? That's twice you've zoned out" Riker asks. "Yeah. I'm fine." I answer. "Anyway, see you in Drama, okay babe?" he says. Yes I know what you are thinking. Why the heck does he call you 'babe' when you aren't dating? Well, people assume that me and him are dating so we have kept it as an inside joke between us and our group of friends. I check my timetable. "Dang. I don't have drama till lesson five." Today was going to be a long day.
