The flight was long. Not as long as the others, but staying in an airplane for six hours was enough to drive the four of us insane. We arrived at Denpasar (where Bali's airport is) safe & sound and now we couldn't wait to get to the house we bought alongside Kuta beach.
"There's so much sun. I can't believe it." Michael said while flailing his arms around.
"Mike, just shut up." Ashton said sighing. The two continued to bicker whilst we decided to hail a cab.
The entire ride was silent. It was completely evident that we were all exhausted from the long-ass flight. I took the time and silence to look at Bali real close. To say it was nice is an understatement, it was breathtakingly beautiful. The sun was shining but it didn't make the weather unbearably hot, just normal.
"Jesus. Look at those waves." Luke muttered while looking wide-eyed at the beach of Kuta. It was enormous. The people surfing looked perfectly at ease with controlling their boards. It made me want to take lessons. Maybe tomorrow.
"Those are just the waves. I can't wait to see the girls!" We all laughed at Ashton's comment. The four of us shared the same love for girls. Even if we did like girls a lot, none of us ever had a serious relationship with any of them before, I was hoping that would change within our stay here. Which was hard to imagine since we had to leave in a year.
We arrived at our house not more than ten minutes later. It seemed odd to not experience traffic, people appeared to drive beyond the speed limit here. Luke paid the cab and we all unloaded our luggage from its trunk.
There were only a few houses on that street, four to be exact. Three of those were styled traditionally while the other looked amazing, built in a more modern way but not losing Bali's touch.
"Luke, which one is ours?" I asked. Hoping it was the latter of the four.
"Oh, that one," He pointed towards the white villa and I think I died of sheer happiness then.
We entered and I was oogly-eyed all over.
If you think the exterior looked amazing.
The inside was just... Wow.
I dropped my bags on the floor and began to explore the first floor. Ashton, who had just entered, remained shocked. "Luke, who on earth paid for this?"
"I got some help from dad." He replied while shrugging, like this was no big deal to him and his family. Knowing Luke, this house wouldn't even make a dent on his family's bank accounts. "Rooms are upstairs, by the way."
It made perfect sense though since we, under no circumstances, would ever be able to pay for such a house.
We hurriedly made our way upstairs, calling dibs on our rooms. Which, as it turned out, looked identical to the others.
I made my way inside and thrashed down on my bed. I was so tired but I know I didn't want to waste a day in bed while I was here in Bali. So, I began to unpack and once I finished I went to Michael's room to see if he wanted to take a walk outside and see the beach. And maybe, look at some girls.
"Mike, want to go outside? I want to see the beach." I said with a big smile on my face.
He replied almost instantly, "Oh yeah, sure. Just give me a sec." And with that he looked for something more comfortable to wear. I looked down at my black skinny jeans and Vans and decided to change as well. I wouldn't want to head outside the heat with black jeans piercing my legs along with the sun.

We asked Luke and Ashton to come with, but they passed. They were too tired from the flight and just wanted to take a nap before everything else.
I didn't though. I was too excited to even sleep.
Mike and I were by the beach now, watching people as they surfed across the ocean. It was a cool thing to see and it made me want to try it even more now.
"Hey, Cal. Look at that girl over there. She's soooo fit." He laughed to himself and repeatedly asked him which girl he was talking about.
"Over there," He tried to sneakily point out the girl he was talking about to me.
"Where the fuck?" I urged him some more. There were so many people, it was hard to tell which one.
"Jesus, are you persistent." He chuckled and pointed at her once more and this time I did see her.
She was pretty, to say the least. She was surfing earlier but was now paddling with the board towards the shore. I noticed she was laughing along with an American looking guy. They appeared to be talking about something until they reached Micahel and I.
"Hi." The girl smiled at me and the guy beside him was laughing uncontrollably. She glared at him to stop and he did as she said.
"The next time you check me out, make sure I don't notice." She giggled this time and picked up her board. The two of them began to walk towards some surf shop before I could even get a chance to reply. I stood there motionless with a laughing Clifford beside me.
"Holy damn, did you see those tits!" Michael pointed out once they were gone earshot. I had to admit, she looked really cute up close. She talked rather slowly which sounded English to me.
-
Michael and I decided to take surfing lessons. We went inside the same surf shop that the girl and guy from earlier went to. They were both gone now, obviously, but I couldn't help but wish that she was still here.
I felt odd.
"Hello, welcome to Surf's Up. How may I help you?" A Balinese woman asked us with smile.
"Oh, um, how much are surfing lessons?' I asked.
"One person is for 400000 Rupiahs for two hours. We also have a family package, maximum of four."
"How much is that?"
"Seven-hundred thousand Rupiahs." She grinned at me, waiting for me to decide.
"Can we have that package for four please. For tomorrow at around 3pm?"
She nodded and began to type something on her computer, "Sir, there are only two instructors left tomorrw. One girl and one boy."
"Are they both good?"
"Of course, sir. The boy is a pro at surfing and the girl is the best one I've seen here so far. She used to be a student, as well before becoming an instructor." She answered politely and I told her that I'd settle with the two of them.
She thanked me as I grabbed Michael who was by the shelves of surfboards hanging around before he could damage some expensive shit.
"Come on. Let's go home."
"Can't I pick some chicks up on our way?"
