The Island of The Legend: The Awakening

The Awakening

It's Monday, April 8th, and I am losing my mind with all these finals we are taking this week. I'm just a senior in high school but I don't think college is the right fit for me. Although I have straight C's I'm pretty smart for a person my age. It's just all the teachers wine about every little detail like capitalization. Thank God that I can finally do whatever I want after I'm done with this week.

. . . . .

I graduated!!! Not like I care because I'm not going to college but I feel good about getting decent grades on my finals. My girlfriend of course got an A on every single final she took. She is such a nerd I swear. I have no idea why I am still dating her but once she goes to Yale I doubt I follow her there.

Now that I can focus on anything I want, I'd like to travel all over the World. My parents are filthy rich and I could get anything I asked for almost except for my own car. I have to buy my first one with my own money then they'll get me whatever I want. They tell me I have to get a job if I want to travel everywhere but that is too much work! They're already rich and I'm an only child so who else will they give it to? My dead grandparents? Nah, I don't think so.

Do you ever think of random questions like if people can read your mind? It happens to me all the time and I get scared if a girl I like just stares at me and I randomly see her and think she is reading my mind. OK so I can get off topic a little bit. All you need to know about me is I like parties, I am a picky eater, hates school, and likes traveling all over the place. May not be a regular person but hey it's the life I'm telling you now.

I'm not exactly a sporty guy like most people think I am. Tall, athletic, and handsome. Yes. But sporty? I don't think so. So I got lots of friends and all of that but I don't think I'm going to see them this summer because I have to take pilot lessons almost every day. That's right, pilot lessons. My mom gets all of her money because of that. She flies only very famous people all over the place. Anyways right now I'm about to go to my house that my parents bought for me this summer. I can't wait to live alone but once I have a party and the cops come I'm back to the mansion.

We live in Miami, Florida and it's hot every single day. But this summer I am looking forward to going to the beach and trying to swim out to the "islands of legend" that says there is an island miles out but when people fly they can't see it. And whenever people would go there they would not return. I think I should bring my friends because they are the best surfers in the whole world. Well probably not but they are really good and they could help get there a lot. Just made my first goal for the summer! I know its dangerous but even if I go there and die there is nothing I'm leaving behind except for my parents. And their money.

My girlfriend and I broke up yesterday even though I knew that was going to happen. It wasn't a big deal since we both knew it was going to happen soon. In fact, I don't know why I dated her, we are complete opposites. She's nerdy, I'm average. I'm athletic, she's clumsy even though she plays sports while I don't.

My name is Jonny Lee Phillips and now that you know all about me and where I live you probably tell I don't care about many things except peace and quiet and friends. However, there are some things that are left untold like the time I got arrested for... Nevermind.

Anyways, after my senior year I went out to the beach the very next day early in the morning to see how the water was to ask my friends if they wanted to come with me. It looked great at first but then all of a sudden a shark came out of nowhere. Notice I have a big fear of sharks with the big teeth even though I learned cows kill more people than sharks in a year. However, this was no regular shark. I am almost positive it was about 20 feet long so I quickly grabbed my phone and took a picture of it to show my friends.

I made a group message for all of my friends to see but once they saw it they were trying to say it was only 5 feet long. That is the point when I would have started to argue with them but I looked at the picture very hard this time and realized I may have been overreacting earlier. However, the very next morning I went out to check the water but once I got there, I not only saw one shark but two. I took out my phone as quick as I could but the wierdest thing happened. Once I took my phone out of my pocket and pushed the power button but it didn't turn on. I tried todo it again and it said something this time; it stated " watch your back". That scared me enough to make me turn, run, and scream like a little girl all the way to my car.
