We put on our bathing suits and got our wet suits on. We ran into the garage and grabbed our surf boards. I looked over by Zach's house. He was sitting on the steps to his door. He seemed to be crying. I signaled to Kylie to wait one second. I held my board and ran over to him.

"Hey are you ok?" I asked. "What do you want I was a jerk to you anyway" he said. "Ahh see you even admit it" I laugh. He skoots over and I sit next to him. I place my board next to me. I see Kylie start to walk down to the beach.

"I was just on the phone with my now ex girlfriend and she broke up with me, she told me she had cheated on me and she couldn't be in a long distance relationship anymore either" he said. He looked down into his arms. I placed my hand on his shoulder and rubbed it. "Is that why your so mean to girls, because you can't trust them" I asked. "Well yea I mean this isn't the first time it's happened" he said. "I'm sorry dude" I added. "I'm sorry about today I mean the past few days i knew she was going to do it and I tried to make a good impression on my self the first day" he said. "By being a jerk, and hanging with the jerks? Doesn't seem like you and I barley know you" I said. "I know I just try to fit in but can I take you up on the friendship offer?" He asked and smiled at me. I nodded and smiled back.

"Well me and my friend are going surfing wanna come?" I asked. "Is it the one that pinned me against that wall?" He asked. "Well yea kinda" I slowly answered. "As long as she doesn't kill me I guess but I don't have a board" he said. "Plus I have no clue how to surf" he said. I laughed. And showed him my board. "I can teach you don't worry, you will be a pro by the end of the day" I smiled. He nodded. "I will meet you there" he said. I waved him off and ran down to the beach.

"Kylie!" I yelled as she was waxing her board. "I cracked him, cute boy gone nice and he had a backstory so" I said. she rolled her eyes and continued. "What?" I asked. "Just sayin if he wants to be a jerk, I will shove him in the water" she said. I laughed and watched for him to come. He came down in a black bathing suit with read and orange stripes at the bottom. He was skinny. Very skinny. But he was cute.

"Hey loser" I said. I still didn't even know his name. "I have something to tell you" He said. "Me to" I laughed. "Say it on the count of three" he said. I nodded. "One... two... three... I don't know you name" we both said. We looked at each other funny and laughed. "I'm Ashlyn, call me ash if your lazy" I said. "I'm zach" he laughed. "Just zach, not Zachary?" I asked. "Well my full name is Zachary dean herron but do not call me that" he commanded. I laughed and grabbed my board out of the sand. We walked towards the ocean.

"How do you surf?" He asked. "Watch" I said. I ran into the ocean And laid on the my board and swam out. I swam pretty far out and waited for a wave. I found one and waited to catch it. Once I did I stood up quickly. And rode it. Swerving side to side and steadying my self towards the shore and eventually wiping out. I grabbed my board and walked out with my hair soaking wet. I handed him the board.

"How in the actual fuck" he said with his jaw open. I laughed and tied the wrist band attaching the board to his wrist. As I wrapped it around he looked down at it. I looked up at him. He looked straight into my eyes. Inches away. I felt something. I turned away after finishing and handed the board to him. Kylie was off surfing by herself. "Scary girl is good to" he added. "Her name is Kylie and yea she is, she has won every surf comp she's ever been in" I said. "How have you won?" He asked. "Well not to brag but almost every match" I said. " I can see" he laughed.

He started to swim out and I told him to wait for the wave to come. And he would feel it when it would come. Today there were good waves so he should get it. Or not. After 15 tries he still couldn't stand up. Until the last one. He stood up but wiped out after a little. He came back looking all tired.

"Not bad dean" I said. "That's not my name!" He screamed. I started laughing. "Seriously though first time not bad" I added. He was out of breath. "Thank... you" He said taking deep breaths. I took the wrist band off and waited for Kylie to come. "You will teach me more right?" He asked. "Of course, but you owe me" I said. He nodded his head and Kylie came by. He looked very tense and nervous.

"Zach Kylie, Kylie zach" I said. "We've met"Kylie said and gave him a mean look. Zach instantly looked scared. "Ok Kylie calm he has forgot about his douche ways" I laughed. Well all laughed and went inside my house. I liked this kid. A lot.
