So I have never written a story before, I only have written essays so I WILL have mistakes, so enjoy, and here goes nothing!

* MEG'S P. O. V. *

Waking up to the smell of the ocean on the shore is like nothing else. The sun shines through your blinds and the waves are crashing. This morning the tide is high and its a perfect day to surf. I checked my phone to see if Matt texted me, and he didn't, he's probably still sleeping. I send him a text:

< Wake up Matty! We're going surfing!>

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Meg Platzke. I have long, straight, blonde hair that ends mid-back and gray- blue eyes. I am 16 years old. I live on the eastern shore and most of my friends are guys. My best friend is Matt Espinosa.

I went to my dresser and pulled out my favorite surfing bikini, a pair of lacrosse sweatpants, and my Carroll Manor lacrosse pinnie. If you can't tell by now, I play lacrosse and surf. There was a ding sound that came from my bed. I went and checked an Matt had texted me back:

< Well hello to you too. Thanks for waking me up! So kind of you!!

( A/N: note the sarcasm pls, I use it ALOT.)Meet you at our spot in 10. >

I started to walk up the stairs, my room being the basement, and I grabbed the usual protein bar for breakfast. I wrote a note for my cousins telling them I would be out surfing with Matt. Oh, and since it is the summer, I'm living with my cousins on the beach so I can be "free", well somewhat, they still take care of me, they are all in there 20's. My actual house is about 20 minutes from the beach, I live on a ranch, have 14 horses, 19 chickens, 3 dogs, and 4 sheep. Oh, and a 12 year old brother.

My dad works and my mom stays at home to take care of the ranch.

I grabbed my light teal surfboard and started to head off to the beach. I saw Matt sitting in our spot. But, he didn't see me, so i decided to scare him. I grabbed a piece of beach grass, put my surfboard down and snuck up behind Matt. He was on his phone so he didn't hear me. I started to tickle his ear with the beach grass and he jumped with a high pitched squeal.

" Crap Meg. You almost made me piss myself! You KNOW I hate bugs!"

Matt shouted.

"I LOVE you Matt"

I told him in return, hoping he would be quieter so he didn't wake the whole shore up.

Matt came over to me, arms flung out, wrapped me in a hug, and whispered in my ear, "I LOVE you too."

Me and Matt were just best friends. We met in kindergarten and we were the ones who made the jokes and got in a little bit of trouble sometimes. Once we tag teamed our teacher, Ms. Ploskon, and ranted on how she was mean to make us only have one period of recess a day. We got sent to the time out corner together and we instantly became best friends.

"MEG!" Matt said fairly loudly while snapping his fingers in front of my face, trying to get my attention.

"Oh, sorry Matty, I was just thinking back to the time in kindergarten when Ms. Ploskon was being a bitch and sent us to the time out corner."

I replied.

*MATT'S P.O. V. *

"Oh, I remember that." I said to Meg. "Lets surf now!"

We both took off our clothes so we were just in our suits and picked up our boards and raced off into the ocean. I was ahead of Meg, but only by a little. I spotted a wave far out and I knew it was a good one and called it before Meg did. Then my thoughts started to wonder. When was I going to tell her? 2 Million followers on Vine, and going on tour for 2 months in 2 weeks was a lot to handle. My thoughts dropped as i got smashed by a wave, getting thrown under water. It wasn't a new experience for me so after i got to the surface I was fine, but a little dizzy.

" Meg, I'm going back to the beach, just a little dizzy." I called out to her while paddling back.

I saw her paddling back too, she cared so much and I just don't know how she will take me telling her I'm famous and leaving her for 2 months. That is a lot to handle. Maybe we can have a movie night tonight at my house and i will order pizza and go to the store and get her Ben & Jerry's. I am brilliant.

I reached the shore, Meg following. We decided to head in for the day. She offered for me to go to her ranch today and go on a trail ride. I took her up on it. We headed off to our separate shore houses to put our boards back and get changed so we can ride.

*MEG'S P. O. V. *

Me and Matt headed to our separate houses to get changed to go riding. My oldest cousin Emily and her husband were on their honeymoon. They just got married two weeks ago. My cousins Rachel and Jacob are twins, 21 years old and are staying in California for the week to see some friends form high school. So at the moment, It was just me and my cousin Allie in the house. Allie is probably the cousin I am closest to, considering she was only a year older than me. I went to her room and told her i was heading to the ranch with Matt and she said to have fun. I went and changed real quick and found my keys for my new, black range rover ( thank you parents ) and headed out to the car. Matt only lived next door, but he wasn't outside yet so I pulled into his driveway and honked the horn and he came rushing out the side door and hopped into the passenger seat. I noticed he was a little antsy today, but what ever. We talked a little bit and once we turned the radio on, we were screaming out the lyrics to a few songs and we arrived at the ranch. We went in the house and talked to my parents and then we told them we were going to ride and they said ok and to have fun.

* MATT'S P. O. V. *

Meg hasn't been to the ranch that much this summer, so she dashed over to say hi to her horses, especially the horse that she owned that she has had since she was 7. His name was Kricket and he was her pride and joy. Then she went and said hi to Cisco, her jumping horse, and Red, her jousting horse. And after that she said hi to her mom's polo horses, Sunny and Sparkle. My favorite horse out of all of the horses on the ranch was Turnie. He was a white and black Appaloosa (the ones with all the speckles). I learned how to ride on him and i still ride on him. We went to the tack room together and she decided she wanted to ride English today, and I only ride English, so we grabbed our English saddles and bridles and reigns. We saddled up the horses, i got a little help from Meg because it had been a while.

We mounted on our horses, I was riding Turnie and she decided to ride Red. We talked about our memories on the trail ride. It was a lot of fun.

* MEG'S P. O. V. *

After we had brushed the horses when we were done the trail ride, Matt asked to have a movie night and I of course said yes.

I drove us back to our houses and he went to get everything ready and i went back to mine and checked in with my cousin and got changed out of my riding clothes. I changed into my club lacrosse sweatshirt and my club pinnie, i would probably end up spending the night with Matt.

A/N: So that is Ch. 1, sorry it sucks. Can you please give me some feedback?
