“Again Summer! You have to land this!” my dad yells from the sand
“You better let the guys come over tonight! It’s our movie night” I yell back
“When are they never not here Sum? Land it and I’ll be out of your hair until tomorrow.”
Huffing, I turn around and paddle out to the break. The waves look small, wave after wave I sit there waiting. Finally I see a big set rolling in I paddle, hard. I time the lift perfectly so It picks me up immediately, sending me flying across the face of the wave. I cut back a few times until I gain enough speed to prepare for my aerial, I pick up speed and race along the face towards the crest, I fly up, disconnect my feet from the board wile grabbing the rails quickly, replant my feet and land perfectly. That’s how you do a superman air dad. I came out grinning at my dad, who sat in the same spot as he had for a few hours with a smile on his face.
“Now that’s what I was talking about Summer. You did great honey” kissing the top of my head and handing me my towel
“Thanks dad, I suppose you were right, it did feel pretty good to finally get it right”
“Yeah, I’m always right you should know that by now Summer” he joked
I shoved him and walked back up to our house, which was exactly 20 steps from the start of the sand, on the sunny beach at Snapper Rocks in Queensland Australia. Mum wasn’t home as usual, she’s the CEO of the major surfing company Roxy, she travels so much with the girls on tour, and I don’t think I’ve seen her in like 2 years. As I grab an apple out of the bowl I head downstairs to my room.
My room is the centre for all of my friends, they’re always here and I really don’t mind. They come and go as they please, sleep over when they want to and eat all the food in my mini fridge and the big fridge, that’s the only downfall of having 5 guys as your best friends.
The turquoise walls match the colour of the waves out back, the 2 old black leather couches that face my TV are usually always occupied by my boys, my suspended bed that hangs casually in the left corner of my room, the hidden walk in wardrobe that has a secret bathroom inside is tucked away under the stairs and, my walls that are covered in surfing posters and pictures of me and my boys, my family and just my life in general.
Putting my board in the custom made rack that covers most of one of the walls, I head straight for the shower. I get out feeling refreshed, I throw on some ripped jeans and a tank top putting my brown curly hair into a messy bun and walking into my room. I find one of my best friends Torren lounging on my couch playing Halo on my Xbox. Torren is average height, with dirty blond hair, golden eyes and a nice 8 pack. He is sponsored by RipCurl and competes almost as often as I do.
“Hey Tor” I say as I plop down next to him
“How was training?” he mumbled, they all knew with dad being my coach he pushed me to the absolute limits
“Hell, but I landed my superman air perfectly after like 3 hours” I replied
His eyes widened, and he hit pause “what the hell! It took me fucking ages to land my air perfectly!”
I smirked “I must just be better at it than you then”
“Are not!”
“Are too”
“Are not!”
“Are too”
We both stop talking as the door slides open, revealing Tristan and Blake. Tristan is, really tall, has chestnut hair, really awesome purple eyes and a solid 6 pack. Blake, is pretty tall, beach blond hair, electric blue eyes and working on his 8 pack.
“Hey guys, how was the tournament? Sorry I couldn’t be there dad had me out there for hours”
They grinned at the same time causing me to smirk
“We tied, they had to postpone the next heat till next week coz they’ve got some grom search coming up soon” Blake announced
“That’s awesome guys! Please don’t do that ‘I’m cooler than you so I’m going to be in my own little world until the next heat and not talk to anyone, just train for the next week’ thing again, it got to all of us last time you guys tied”
“Fine! Fine just order pizza and I won’t” Blake said
“Neither, I just want food” Tristan agreed
I rolled my eyes and raced upstairs, trying to find dad.
“Dad!! Can you please order the usual? They guys finished a comp and are dying in my room!! Get food if you don’t wanna find a place to hide their bodies!” I yelled
“I’ll get right on it sweetie, food to feed an army. Got it.” He replied
I laughed and headed back downstairs, finding Jace and Jayden lazing on the couches.
Jayden, is tall and has black hair with sea green eyes, and has the usual surfer 6 pack.
And finally Jace, he’s tall, has dirty blond curls, gold brown eyes and a 6 pack.
I raced over to them and jumped onto the mass of bodies littering the couch, hearing an oof coming from under me. I grabbed my controller and settled down, leaning my back on Torren, legs on Blake and head on Jayden’s stomach.
“Ok, remember the theme tonight is chick flicks, what movies did you guys bring?” I broke the silence
A bunch of DVD cases flew in my direction and I only just had time to duck before most of them hit me in the face. I sifted through them
The notebook
Titanic
Dirty dancing
Bend it like beckham
And clueless
Ew, these are all gross. Well the only reason were going to watch them is to laugh at how girly all the girls are and just pretty much diss everything about them. Ok, I’m a major tomboy if you haven’t already noticed. I surf, skate, don’t wear pink, all my friends are guys and I find girly girls funny. This is my way of life.
“Nice choices guys” my dad says from the bottom of the stairs, holding 10 pizza boxes.
“FOOD!!” we all scream at the same time
Sprinting up from the top of the pile of people I run over to dad and grab the first 2 boxes.
“Thanks daddy” I say as I walk back over to the couch
The rest of the guys go grab 2 boxes each.
“Thanks dad” they all chime at the same time, were all practically family so they just call my dad their dad.
I flick on the first movie and settle back down with the pizza and the boys, wrapping Tristan’s arms around me and scoffing down my pizza.
I feel my eyes drooping and hearing soft snores coming from the others.
