Narrator"s P.O.V.
Chelsea smiled to herself as the boat pulled away from her city life. She was finally breaking away.
Chelsea's P.O.V.
I felt content as I leaned over the railing of the boat. I don't like the way the ocean smells though, it brought up too many memories.
And yet you move to a chain of islands. Chelsea, I will never understand you.
I sighed and turned around, managing to bump into someone as I walked. I really have to stop looking down when I walk.
"Sorry about that," I apologized to the cowboy I bumped into.
Wait, cowboy? That's new. Or old. Whichever.
"Watch where you're going, idiot." he growled, attempting to kill me with his glare.
"Well, geez! I apologized, no need to act all hostile!" I rolled my eyes and stomped away, not bothering to listen to what he said next.
Yeah, I have a short temper. That was actually pretty calm for me, that cowboy's lucky I wasn't worse. I don't get too much worse, but worse. I mean come on, I only bumped into him! I'm not the one going around calling innocent people idiots. Eh, I'll never have to see him again anyway.
My thoughts were interrupted as my phone vibrated in my pocket. It was a text from Julia, one of my best friends, whom I was going to be living with on- what was it? - oh yeah, Verdure Island.
"Heyy! Are you gonna b here soon?!" it read. I laughed to myself, Julia was always impatient. Especially now since it's been more than a year since I've seen her.
"Still on the boat, I think it's only another 15 mins until I arrive, though!" I sent my reply.
"Yayyyyyy! I'm SO excited! Can't wait!" I smiled and put my phone away.
Soon enough, a dock came into view.
"Arriving at Verdure Island!" the Captain called.
While disembarking, I noticed the cowboy from earlier was also getting off at Verdure Island, and he didn't have any luggage. Oh great. He lives on the Islands. So much for never seeing him again. Maybe I'll be lucky for once in my life and he'll live far, far from Julia's.
Author's Note:
I know, it's extremely short. I just wanted to get the first chapter in before the end of the day. (5 minutes before midnight where I am, i made my goal!) A bug flew right in front of me while I was writing! I freaked, cuz im afraid of bugs. Pathetic, I know. Now he's resting on a bottle of nail polish despite my threats. Anyway, I hope you like it! Please review so I know if it's any good and if I should continue! Constructive criticism is welcome, tips are greatly appreciated. It will get better, I promise! Thanks for reading!
