Just my luck

We all walk inside and plonk on the couch. Tayas mum comes in with home made smoothies. 'Awe, thank you...!' Both skyla and I say at the same time. I take a sip of mine... Mmmmm 'mixed berry!' I say. Then Jaxon, Taya's 21 year old brother walks in takes Taya's drink out of her hand and takes a sip, then makes sure we see him rub his tongue all over the straw. Skyla and I burst out laughing and spitting smoothie all over the living room. Taya sits there. Staring. Her mouth wide open.

Skyla and I burst out laughing again at Taya's face and Jax puts the cup in her hand again and walks off to his room. Skyla and I try so hard not laugh while Taya looks back at us. I have to put my hands on my mouth to stop me from laughing. Taya looks at us giving us her common 'let's get him' look. We all stand up and charge in to his room. It's a bit odd for 3 16 year old girls to be chasing a 21 year old brother. But Yolo. Skyla goes first but we didn't realise his door was locked and in the middle of running, skyla attempts to turn he door handle but it doesn't open and she runs right into the door.
I laugh so hard I literally fall down the staircase doing two backwards summer salts. Skyla gets up to see what has happened then we realise there is a camera above Jax's door, it was all on camera! OF COURSE IT WAS!

Jaxon comes out of his room looking down the staircase obviously he saw what happened. I lay on the cold tiles at the bottom of the staircase on my back. Skyla and Taya are laughing so hard you can't hear them. I start laughing too. My back kinda hurts but oh well. Jaxon walked down the stairs and held a hand to help me up. 'Cheers' I say. Skyla and Taya walk up to me. I feel pain in my thigh and I have a look. Great! A massive bruise! I walk over to the couch and Finnish my smoothie and so does Skyla. Taya chucks hers at Jax. He just walks away saying that she has to clean it up.

That night we went to bed at 10 which is really early for us. We only went at that time because we knew tomorrow would be an extra late night and plus we were tired from horse riding all day.

I lay on the blow up mattress, in my cozy sleeping bag, staring at the boring white ceiling thinking about how amazing tomorrow will be. Then I hear a voice, quiet and musky. 'You guys up?' After a few seconds I realise it was Taya. 'Yah' both Skyla and I whisper at the same time. I find it fascinating how we say the exact same thing at the same time. 'I can't sleep.' Whispers Taya. 'I can't stop thinking about tomorrow...' She adds. 'Neither' I say. 'Same here!' Skyla speaks softly. 'We could go surfing tomorrow morning and early arvo...' I blurt out quietly. 'That sounds nice...' Skyla says after a while. 'Dad has the day off tomorrow,' Taya mentions. 'I can ask him if he could take us.'

Taya's dad is a pro surfer, he taught Taya and I how to surf. He has been Since we were 7. Skyla's dad taught her. My dad is a business man, he never has time for me. That's why I feel like I need a guy in my life. Everybody in class knows I like Daniel Skye. Charlise play-teases me about it. I laugh with her. But only Skyla and Taya know my relationship with my dad and only they understand why I'm always hanging out with guys. Not that it's a bad thing, It just happens. I'm glad to have friends like Skyla and Taya. The room is quiet. I slightly hear and owl in the nearest tree.

It's been an hour and I still can't get to sleep. My thigh is sore and my head is spinning. Eventually, I get to sleep. I dream of the concert and meeting Daniel. He chooses one person from the crowd and their friends to meet him after the show but out of 12 thousand pretty girls -who actually have a chance of having Daniel- I'm sure he won't choose me. I have another dream where Skyla, Taya and Trent from our home group were in a threesome and I was sitting there like, 'XD'. Then Charlise came up and like started beating up Nathan (another guy from our class) because she wanted a lollipop and he wouldn't give her one. Idk! It was really weird. The rest of the night was quiet.

I wake up with the sun shining in my eyes and I can hear birds singing their morning song. Taya and Skyla soundly sleep either side of me. I normally sleep with 3 pillows but today I had 2. So I grabbed both of them and at the same time hit both Skyla and Taya in the face with my pillows. They both immediately sit up not knowing what just happened and they look at me. I put on the most innocent face I could come up with. They look at me, both of them, with their evil death stares.

"Don't attack me!" I announce. "I need to look OK for when I see Daniel!" I laugh, Taya chuckles but Skyla drops back down and puts her pillow on her face while groaning.  "Morning" I say looking at Taya. She looks at me like I'm an idiot. Well... I did fall down a staircase yesterday. I know she's kidding. I smile at her, and break her concentration. She cracks a smile. Taya's Dad comes in the room, he looks like he is still half asleep.
"Dad?"
Taya says breaking the silence. Skyla sits up.
"Yes?"
He says making himself a coffee.
"Can u take us surfing this morning before the concert?"
"Sure!" He whispers hoping not to wake up Mrs. Grey. "Get ready now then."
We all get up. Well... Taya and I had to help Skyla a bit. Eventually, she gets up and we go get dressed. We all go in Taya's room. I mean we are 16, the best of friends and all girls, so it doesn't really matter. It's hot today so I just put on my black bikini, Taya in her yellow one and Skyla in her rainbow one - obviously. We all put shorts on and a half tee over the top as well as some sunscreen. I have 2 boards. One at my house and one at Taya's. Skyla has one at Taya's as well.

Taya's dad goes out and ties 4 surfboards to the back of the ute after putting wax on them. As I open the front door to get to their car, hot air rushes into the house. So we quickly get out and get in the car and turn the aircon on. At leased it's not really windy. It takes 20 minuets to get to the beach with all the traffic. We have a special part of the beach that nobody knows about. It's got the best waves there. We park at the main beach parking and grab our surfboards and walk towards the toilet block. We make sure no one is looking as we sneak behind and follow the track we made when we were 10.

We haven't seen anyone on our beach before. No one is there. I like it. I walk over to the sun and take my top and shorts off leaving me in my bikini. The water will be warm today. It's in the morning and I'm already boiling hot. I leave my phone with my clothes and I grab my board. Taya's dad always says he too old for surfing, even tho he is not. So when he takes us. He uses his waterproof pro camera. Sim times he straps the camera to our boards. It looks really cool when we watch the videos afterward.

My feet splash into the water as another wave comes crashing in. I run in further so the water it up to my knees. I stop and look around. Mr Grey is preparing his camera and Taya is 5 meters off to my left and Skyla, another 5 meters to the left of Taya. I start running in farther. It gets really difficult running in water. By the time the water is just above my hips, I put the board on the water and get on. I start to paddle. I remember the first time I did this my arms were so weak I couldn't even lift my surfboard properly! A wave forms ahead of me and I paddle faster. I won't be able to get over that, so I'll have to go under.

I push the nose of my board down bringing my nose with is. I go under perfectly. If I tried to stand up in the water now... It would probably be over my head. Another wave forms in front of me and I quickly turn my self around. I start to stand up just as the wave hits my board. It crashes on the back of my legs as I turn.
