Chapter 1
Summer Holidays a time for students to break loose and to whatever, but this year something magical is coming.
A blue van drove through town; it had a light blue color scheme which matched well with the beach. Parking the van by the beach the driver walked out, he stood on the side of the van and took a board from the top. Locking the van after grabbing his backpack, he walked towards the shoreline with his backpack and his board. He marveled at the waves, he hasn't seen waves like this ever since he was a kid. Feeling the rush envelop him he dropped his backpack and ran towards the water with his board. When he got far enough, he got on and started paddling towards the closest wave. Lifting himself up, he rode his first wave and it felt good. He wiped the board around the edge and then curved to launch from the top. He splashed down then swam back up, he held onto his board and laughed at how much fun he had. Another wave was about to form, it looked like a good one but he didn't paddle towards it for something else caught his eye. Three guys were calling out to a girl waking across the beach, she looked irritated. This is my cue; he took the wave closest to the three boys. And when he got close enough to them he wiped his board so that they would get sprayed by water. He rode away but it didn't take long for the boys to notice what he did to them. They tried chasing him down, but he was all the way in the other side of the beach. He laughed at this sitting on his board and then he saw the girl that the boys were fusing over. She sat by herself on a sand hill, maybe he should see what's up with her. He agreed with the thought and paddled towards shore.
Sitting alone she looked around the beach, having moved from Ireland it was hard to adjust. Where there used to be open fields are now buildings and beaches. The worst part of it all is that she has no one to talk to, a friend would be nice. She sighed looking at the buildings, unable to notice a boy walking up towards her. He was very dry considering how far he walked to get to this girl. Dropping his board made a slight thud which alerted the girl to his presence. "Sorry about that… I can be so clumsy." She gave a short laugh, the boy got close to her and asked "Is this seat taken?" she shifted to the side a little "Sure why not?" He chuckled then sat next to her "So how's the view?" taken back by this she looked at him very curious "What?" he just smiled "Well it looks like the only thing you're doing." She looked away shaking her head, the boy moved his head so he can see her better "Hey want to do something fun?" the girl turned to look at him with the same curious expression, he stood and offered his hand "Come on." She thought it through in her head, but he was persistent "Come on…" seeing that she has nothing else to do why not? She took his hand and was pulled up from the sand hill. Unexpectedly she bumped straight into him; she slightly blushed then walked back slowly. The boy grabbed his board and gestured for a walk.
The two walked around the beach just talking, laughing occasionally both enjoying each other's company. "I'm sorry… I didn't catch your name?" the boy asked, the girl nodded "True… it's Bella." "Chase" they smiled at each other. Time passed by fast, a little too fast because both of them got hungry "Uh oh." The two friends ran towards a seafood shack and ordered their lunch. "So how did you end up here?" asked Chase, Bella looked at the distance as she answers "I was finally old enough to go off on my own, so I did…" "And you ended up here…" Chase finished for her, "Yeah... Hey!" she playfully smacked him on the shoulder. And then the waitress dropped of their orders, "Fish and chips… really?" teased Bella grabbing a chip and playing with it. "Oh really? Like fish fingers are a lot better." Bella dipped the chip in ketchup and accidentally threw it at Chase. She gasped and Chase planned his revenge he did the same thing and threw a chip at Bella. They playfully had a small fight till there were sauce all over their faces then they laughed at each other.
The sky started to get dark, so Chase decided to take Bella to his van. Seeing that it was late and she had nowhere to go. There was a slight chill, Chase was fine but Bella was shivering so Chase put a towel from his backpack over her. She smiled gratefully, when they were close Chase ran ahead to start the van. With the side doors open, Bella sat inside the van on a couch. The van was unusually comfortable the ferry lights lit up the back of the van. It was so comfortable that Bella yawned; Chase gave her a drink and sat next to her. "So where are you staying? I can drive you?" she looked very tired "I don't know all I have is my stuff." "Oh…" Chase thought for a bit should I ask her if she would like to stay at my place. Well all she has is her stuff "Wait where is your stuff?" Bella was suddenly alerted "Oh no I must have left it by the beach." Chase stood up "No I'll find it!" but a little too much for he hit the top of the van then he fell out, Bella laughed at him.
