Beneath The Waves

The Beginning

"Careful now! Don't want to dirty those good shoes Zerl!"
I rolled my eyes. They weren't even close to good...nor clean. Even still, I listened to mother and pulled of my worn and ripped shoes and tossed them far away, near a dune somewhere. Knees hit the sand as I crumpled down. Hands fisted the sand and I watched those tiny little grained powders fall like water from a tap. Looking out, I watched the sun set, coloring the sky with soft, warm colors.
A soft sigh escaped my partially closed lips. I turned my head to watch others who were also admiring the view. That was when I saw him. Brown hair, tan skin that sparkled in the setting sun. His eyes met mine in a flash and I felt sparks fly. His eyes... were blue, clear and bright as sapphires. My breath hitched. He was... familiar, like I'd seen him somewhere. I tossed my head away, blinking back tears that welled up in my eyes and shadowed my vision. Why was I crying? Was he someone I loved? Someone I missed? He was there, I just could not place where. Amber eyes looked back at the boy but, he was no longer there. Were my eyes playing tricks on me? No, it could not be. I felt him. He is here.
My eyes darted back and forth through the sandy dunes but nothing, not even a sign. Yet another sigh escaped me. I stood up, walking back to my mother, who was gazing at me curiously. I rolled my eyes and stalked back to the flock of white coloured beach houses.
Stepping into a plain green yard of mine, I sat on the lonely swing, shifting my body to rock the swing. Taking a swig of whatever was on the nearby table, I looked forward, seeking the clear blue eyes of him.
No, still nothing. I groaned.
"Zerl! Come now! Stop drinking that god awful sugar drink! We're eating takeaway dinner. Come in ." My mother commanded. I sighed, stomping to a nearby green trashcan to throw away my unfinished drink.

I slunk into the dining room. Pizzas, Pastas, Milk and some leftover sliced cake were spread out on the checkered table. I swung by and grabbed a plate grappling my share. Alfredo with two slices of mushroom swiss pizza on a plate. Desert after. I carried my food into the family room and sat, back against the velvet cushions. Putting the hot food on my lap, I flicked the remote switch and the television fired to life. Documentaries, Commercials, News, News, Ah..Movies. I turned on Netflix and watched a couple of Teen flicks. Mother stopped by to drop my Iphone with a cup of cooled milk with cheesecake and cream cookies. I smiled at her gratefully. "Don't eat too much though. Fat tummy later don't blame me." She sang before exiting. I blew a raspberry. She did not see. Whatever.
