Forget It.
I was taking the ferry to my sister's place – and I didn't feel like reading any of my textbooks or the book I brought over with me…so I decided to write a story. It's been so long since I've written one, considering I haven't even finished my other one – which is still somewhat in progress. Just having writer's block, plus, college is kind of kicking my ass. I'm hoping while I work on a different story, it would give me some ideas for the other one. That, and I figured if I worked on this, the hour and a half ferry ride would go by faster…which it did hurrah I got this idea one night when I couldn't sleep and all I really did was daydream haha – we've all had those moments – it's usually when the best ideas come up. Reviews – good or bad is appreciated.
Don't own any of the characters and such…although I did make up the characters 'Cassidy' and other names/settings that aren't part of the series that show up on this fanfic. Everything else is owned by the creator of the show Josh Schwartz.
Chapter 1
It was your typical beautiful Saturday morning – blue skies, no clouds, the sun shining brightly and the ocean sparkling the suns rays. All that's left to completely perfect the image and your day was what you held snug underneath your left arm – your surfboard. You scan the ocean and already see half a dozen people on the beach running around, sun tanning, skim boarding or surfing. How could anyone ever stay home on a day like this? Then her thoughts side tracked to the waves as she grinned in excitement. Alex looked at her watch and looked around to see if her friend, Jen, was here yet. And, not to her surprise, she wasn't. So, she decided to hit the waves first.
As she headed towards the water, she heard someone call out her name behind her, "Alex?!" I turn around and see four girls sitting on their towels. I look closely and I begin to recognize two of the girls. Summer and Taylor. "Hey, what's up?" I grinned as I walk towards them. "Enjoying the sun, DUH! You surf?" asked Summer. "Well, I do have a surf board under my arm, so either I do, or I just like to stand here and carry this thing around and pretend I'm cool." I replied back sarcastically. "Ha Ha! Very funny, smartass! Don't make me go rage black out on your skinny white ass" she replied back. "Whatever, you like my ass!" I retorted back. Everyone else started laughing. The other two girls, I only really met a few times. Cassidy and Marissa. Marissa was the only one who seemed to continue on laughing a little longer than the other girls, which made everyone turn towards her. We all then burst out laughing as she started to blush. God, was she beautiful. I give her a little smile – which she returns shyly. "I've always wanted to learn how to surf," said Taylor. "Me too!" "Me too!" "Me too!" As they all agreed. "Well, I could teach you, but we should wait for Jen too, it'd be easier if she were here as well." They all nodded there heads in agreement. "Well, until then, I'm gonna leave you ladies so I can catch a few waves myself before she gets here," they all nodded there heads, "just keep a look-out for her and tell her what's in the up and up, alright?" "okay!" replied Summer. Me, Jen, Summer and Taylor all work together at Harbours Movie Theatre – which is kind of like high school in a way – the drama never ends there because it's mainly made up of 98.9 of teenagers. It's like a second high school! Except the only difference was that I never really finished high school and Summer and all of them are in there senior year. Maybe that's why I've been working at the theatre for so long; I guess this is what I would've been missing if I had stayed. But sometimes, or a lot of times, it just becomes a little bit too much. "I'm not exactly a pro – so don't expect to be amazed or anything," I chuckled as I turned towards the water.
As soon as I paddled out far enough, I sat on top of my board and waited for a decent wave to come. I looked over my shoulder, to see if I could see Jen anywhere, but she still hasn't arrived yet. "Hmmm, I wonder what's taking her so long. Wouldn't be surprised if Kat was somehow involved haha." I move my gaze over to the four girls watching me from the beach – Summer yelling out supportive shouts. I look over toward Marissa and all I can see was her smiling at me. Or maybe I'm just imagining things? I've always had a little crush on Marissa when I first met her. Her piercing grey-blue eyes not to mention she's absolutely gorgeous! I smile back at her and gave her a small wave. Her smile grew even bigger and … wait. Did she just blush? No way. Must've been my imagination – I mean I'm all the way out here, that's just crazy. I turn my attention back towards the water.
---Back on the Beach---
"Did Alex just smile and wave at you, Riss?" "Um, I don't know?" she half laughed half blushed. "Are you blushing?" asked Cassidy. "No...It's the sun – I think I have a little sun burn..." "Uh huh, sure...You sure you two weren't flirting with each other across the big blue water and sand, ha ha" "What? No you guys! I have a boyfriend, remember?" "Just because you have a boyfriend doesn't mean you still can't be interested in someone else. Besides, I'd take Alex over Eric any day." "Oh, would you now? Hmmm?" Taylor said playfully nudging Summer's arm. "Oh shut up! Seth is enough to drive me insane that even all my handbags aren't enough to keep him away." "Whatever you enjoy his geekiness," replied Marissa. "Ya…I really do," Summer smiles. "Oh! She just slipped into la-la land…better to just leave her there – but if she starts foaming at the mouth I'm not saving her!" stated Taylor. They all started laughing. "Ya, so Riss if you're interested in Alex, you should totally go for it!" replied Cassidy. "You guys, if you're not forgetting…the person we're talking about is Alex. I barely know her! And the other obvious fact that she's…a…GIRL!" "So?" replied Taylor and Summer. Marissa just looks at her two friends as if they had two heads. "You guys are idiots!" "pfft sure whatever Riss…" Taylor and Summer shared a look that doesn't go unnoticed by the other two. "Whoah! Okay, what was that look?" asked Cassidy. "What look?" they both replied back innocently. "The look that says 'we know something you don't' look," stated Marissa. "I don't know what you guys are talking about…" replied Summer. "Oh, hey look!" Alex is about to take a wave!" All four turned their attention towards the water as the blonde was paddling hard with the wave.
