Maggie's POV:
I put my pencil down as I finish the last bit of my homework.
"Tom, what's for dinner?" I ask looking towards him.
"I was planning on making rice bowls. Is that okay?" He says from the kitchen.
"Yeah." I whisper looking down. I want to go home.
"Everything okay Mags?" Tom says looking my way.
"I miss them. I want to go home." I whisper looking down.
"I know, but you know it's too dangerous to go back. You can get hurt. You got to stay positive kid." Tom says putting plates down.
"Can I go to Katrina's house tonight?" I ask changing the topic.
"I don't know..."
"I'll be back by 10pm and all my homework is done. It's just down the street. Please Tom." I plead.
"Ok fine. You are back here by 10pm not a minute later." Tom sternly says.
"Ok. Thank you." I smile. I'm not actually going to Katrina's house. I'm meeting this boy at the beach, but Tom doesn't need to know that. After we eat I go up to my room and put on my swimsuit underneath my shorts and tank top. I grab my phone and water bottle before heading downstairs.
"I'll be back." I yell before walking out. I skip down the street saying hi to the different neighbors. I like it here, but I wish they were with me.
"Hey Bo." I say jumping on his back as I get to the beach. His full name is Bowen but I just call him Bo.
"Hey Mags. How was school?" He asks putting me down. He graduated last year and works locally.
"Eh I guess okay. I had a lot of homework." I say taking off my tank top and shorts.
"First one to the water wins." I scream taking off.
