It was one of the hottest days in Playa Linda and yet, it was storming. 17-year-old Bradin Westerly woke up and automatically looked out his window to see how the surf was. He peered out the window and sighed discontentedly.

"Damn, its raining again! How am I supposed to surf?" He wondered to himself.

Defeated he walked to his bathroom to get ready for the day. Once he was done, he pulled on board shorts and a t-shirt. He ran his fingers through his hair one last time before he exited his room. He walked up the stairs to the main level and was greeted by silence. There was a note on the counter explaining that Aunt Ava brought Nicky and Derrick out to eat for breakfast.

"Great, can this day get any better?"He asks himself before grabbing a bowl and the box of Honey comb cereal.

After finishing his mammoth bowl of cereal and cleaning up he decided to brave the rain and go surfing anyways. He walked outside onto the deck and down to the patio where the equipment was stored. By the time he changed into his wet suit the rain had stopped, and the sun was shinning brightly. He grabbed his board and walked out onto the sand and down to the water. Before he got into the water he stopped to look around and that's when he noticed her.

A girl about his age was sitting on the rocks staring out at the ocean. He grabbed his board and walked towards her, his desire to surf replaced by his piqued interest in the mystery girl. As he got closer he could tell that she definitely wasn't from Playa Linda. She had shoulder length curly brown-gold hair and was wearing glasses. He pretended like he didn't see her there and kept walking, until he bumped into her.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" She exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, I'm Bradin what's your name?"

"I'm Rosie, listen I'm sorry about being rude just now, but the locals I've met haven't been all that nice to me." She said.

"His name wasn't Tanner by any chance, was it?" He asked.

"No, it wasn't any one person. Just the attitude some have given me." She says.

"Oh, do you mind if I sit?" He asks.

"Go ahead," She says moving over.

"So, where are you from?"

"I was born in Italy, but I've lived in Michigan since I was 10 years-old. I just moved here I'm gonna be attending U.C.L.A."

"Cool, me too." He said.

"Great, I officially know someone that goes to the same school as me." She says with a smile.

"Hey do you surf?" He asks her.

"In Italy we don't really surf, I went a few times. Living in Michigan though you don't see much water, except for what comes out of your shower head." She says and then blushes when she realizes what she just said.

"Well, I'm originally from Kansas, but I guess you can't surf on still water." He replied.

"Hey, I have to go. It's my parents last day here so I need to go and finish up some last minute things." She said looking at her watch, getting up.

"Oh, ok" he said following suit, but he failed to hide the disappointment in his voice.

"Here give me a call this week." She said taking out pen and paper to write down her phone number.

"Ok, I'll see you. Hey, why don't you come down here like maybe tomorrow around same time?" he asked her with a hopeful voice.

"Sure why not, my parents are leaving tomorrow so I'll be free after I drop them off at the airport. I just might be a little late." He smiled happy that he would be able to see her again tomorrow.

They looked at each other briefly, before she looked down at her feet.

"Ok, well I guess I'm going to now. I'll see you tomorrow." She says.

"Ok, bye." He said pulling her to him and hugging her.

"Oh!" she says surprised before hugging him back.

They pulled back and she said bye one last time before walking in the opposite direction. He watched her leave and ran his hand through his hair sighing. He had fallen for the new girl.
