Deep In The Ocean

Prologue

The white haired girl looked into the ocean with her pearly, light blue eyes, it sparkled as the light from the ocean reflects into her eyes. Her hair flowing with the wind, she clutches her books near to her chest and breathed in the smell of the fresh salt water of the ocean. She sighed in satisfaction she walked towards the glistening water and crouched down, touching the cold water in her grasp. She softly laid her blue bag and text books on the gradient sand.

She walked back towards the ocean and cupped some of the water in her soft yet cold grasp. She focused of the reflection of the suns light in the liquid, the coldness of the water and the smell of the fresh sea salt. She softly placed the liquid back with the ocean, she wiped the access water with her black school skirt, leaving small dots of sand and salt. She grabbed her belongings and off to school she went.

It was 5:00am when she had visited her dear love and left at 7:50pm to go to school, this was the girl's routine to visit the ocean. If she wakes up early than 5:00am then she stays a lot longer, she would even sleep near the ocean, listening to the waves, watching it dance and see the white horses gallop and disappear. She would wake around 7:40pm having 9 minutes to stay.

As the girl reaches the bus top she was greeted with insults and violent shoves maybe a few light punches or two, the girl never minded the insults and constant bullying she was already used to it.

"Hey wave freak, aren't you going to say anything!?" Yelled a classmate of hers, the girl only smiled as the young man stopped shoving so did the his other friends. The girls that were watching stopped snickering and making remarks, they looked at her as the girl opened her mouth, once to reply.

"I look flat, but I am deep, Hidden realms I shelter. Lives I take, but food I offer. At times I am beautiful. I can be calm, angry and turbulent. I have no heart, but offer pleasure as well as death. No man can own me, yet I encompass what all men must have," The girl had said, the boys and the girls were shocked at the words she had spoken and how she had spoken in such calmness.

The bus had pulled in the driver looked strangely at the boys and girls who gawked at the girl's saying. "Er, are they okay?" The driver spoke with a gruff and curious voice, the girl only nodded and head inside the bus, going to the back seat to look back at the path from when she came.

The previous group that assaulted her at the stop had started whispering and chattering. "The weird freak said something to me at the bus stop," the boy had said. "What did she say?" His friend has asked, the boy and thought for awhile on what she had said to him and finally remembered. "She had said 'I look flat, but I am deep, Hidden realms I shelter. Lives I take, but food I offer. At times I am beautiful. I can be calm, angry and turbulent. I have no heart, but offer pleasure as well as death. No man can own me, yet I encompass what all men must have' do you understand what it means?" His friend only shocked his head, as time passed the two boys had ignored what happened earlier and started to talk about sports and such.

Meanwhile the ocean girl had over heard their conversation and smiled just a twitch, she looked outside her window and saw a small shimmering glint from the ocean. This caught the four boys at the back attentions, these boys were photographers and videographers of course they took this opportunity to take pictures of the beauty of the ocean girl, she didn't mind because she had no interest but the ocean.

As they arrived to their Senior High School the ocean girl had stood up first and made her way out, wanting to get her studies done, return home to change her clothing and visit her love once again. "Hello class," her teacher spoke with such kind voice. "We all know it's the last day till summer term," some of the students we relieved and filled with joy, but the ocean girl didn't mind as long as she could visit her precious ocean. During class the ocean girl couldn't help but look at the clock waiting for school to be over and done with, she waited for seconds to turn to minutes, minutes turn to hours and eventually school was over. She was the first person to stand up, pack her needed items and left the school, dashing towards her home.

As the ocean girl finished changing into a silky, light blue dress that goes down below her knees she rushed towards the path that leads to the ocean, she didn't care of the sticks and stones that was caught on her soft skin for the ocean would suck the sticks and stones  under the waves and make it one with itself. As she reach the end of the path she saw her love she ran to the ocean and dipped her feet in, she raised her dress a little and sat on the wet sand.

She slowly lowered her dress onto the sand she knew it would get wet and it did, the ocean girl wanted the dress to smell like the ocean as she returned home. The ocean girl started to sing a song for the ocean as the sun sets.

"Well there's fifteen hours more riding before we hit the silver sea,
It's just a reason for surviving till we find our destiny.
And do you see the river rolling as we're climbing up this hill?
It's miles from here to anywhere, but you know we're riding still.
     And it's ebb and flow out here on the road,
     Yes, it's ebb and flow out here on the road.

And there's a small boat in the harbour with oceans still to sail,
Each of us tied to the mast as we run before the gale.
And as we're driven onward into the dark before dawn
We close our minds against the fear as we're riding out the storm.
     And it's ebb and flow in the undertow,
     Yes, it's ebb and flow in the undertow.

And the morning comes so quietly like a whisper or a wish,
The sunlight brushes against our skin in the softest mermaid kiss
And we're somewhere that is nowhere beneath the endless sky
As we rock and roll so gently to the ocean's lullaby.
     And it's ebb and flow in the undertow,
     Yes, it's ebb and flow in the undertow...."

As the sun daylight slowly fades and the ocean currents starts to calm, the ocean girl returned safely to her home. She kneels on her bed, looked out her window and said.

"G'night thy ocean, be calm and still, for tomorrow I will return because it's you that I yearn,"
