Mack and Brady had spent a day surfing and having fun on the beach. They walked up to the surf shop and began to wax their boards. The sky was starting to turn black and a breeze whipped along the empty shoreline blowing Mack's hair into her face, snapping her out of a mist of thoughts she'd been in all day. She turned to Brady, who was standing next to her, waxing his board and just stared at him. Brady, feeling Mack's gaze, blushed and turned to her, "You ok?" he asked.
Mack hadn't realised how long she had been staring at Brady and was now feeling slightly embarrassed, "what? Oh…yeah I'm fine."
"You've been acting strange all day," Brady said, the worry in his voice noticeable. He walked over to Mack and put an arm around her, "I care about you that's all."
"I know you do," Mack said snuggling up to him, "but…"
"But what? You can tell me," Brady answered.
"I think I made the wrong choice," Mack burst out.
"What?" Brady asked confused.
"I love spending time here with you but somehow I feel like I should have gone to that school with my aunt," Mack gushed. But as she saw Brady's face fall and his perfect brown eyes glaze over and lose their sparkle, her heart felt like it was wilting. Brady moved away from her and grabbed his surf board and ran to the ocean. His face showed how much he was hurt.
"Brady…" Mack gasped almost in tears herself.
Lightning flashed on the horizon and was quickly followed by a deafening clap of thunder. Rain started to pour but Brady didn't seem to be coming back inside and Mack was getting worried.
"Brady come back in it's not safe," Mack shouted to the blonde boy on a surfboard in the quickly growing waves.
Brady either didn't hear her or was ignoring her. Far from shore a huge wave was forming and both Mack and Brady saw this.
Mack was getting really panicked now, "Brady please come in now it's not safe!"
Brady didn't even look at Mack and began to swim closer to the wave. Before Mack knew what she was doing she grabbed the nearest surfboard to her, traced the intricate pattern on her families surfboard and sprinted down the beach as fast as she could. Brady was far into the ocean and the huge wave was fast approaching. Mack was stood on the beach getting soaked from the rain and another strike of lightning and deafening thunder followed quickly after. Mack saw how far out Brady was and started swimming out towards him. With a wave towering above him, Brady stood up and began to surf but without success and the wave soon crashed down on his head, throwing him into the blue sea, now turning black to Brady.
"Brady!" Mack screeched in horror and dove into the water before the wave could reach her. Trying to find Brady in a blind panic was tiring Mack out and the blue waves were starting to become black to her too.
