Chapter 9

In a small crowded city in the Gold Coast, a thirteen-year-old girl was walking along the street thinking about the boy in her dreams and the next surf competition. The girl's short, sea blue hair with a plat on the side of her face was blowing in the wind. This girl was one of the last five of the Fairtch children that were placed on Earth. Her name was Wave and you could see her love for the ocean in her sparkling blue eyes. Wave was in a really bad mood. She was angry with her foster mum, again.

"Wave! She didn't know. She said that she would go to the next one." said a ghostly figure, beside her. The ghost was about twenty-four, male and he looked a lot like Wave. Wave was the only one who could see this spirit. Beside them both was Wave's dog, Fin. Wave signed. She knew that he was right, but she was still angry with her.

"I know dad, but the competition is today." Wave was upset that her foster mum, Julia wasn't going to her surf competition. Wave loved to play any sport but her favorite was surfing. She was the tomboy of the group. She was better than any boy at surfing and she loved it.

"Why is it that she never comes to anything that I do, but she would do anything for Rosso?"

As they reached her home, Wave grabbed her surfboard and changed into her bathers. She, her dad and Fin ran off to the beach. Wave knew that her anger would cool down once she started surfing.

The weather was perfect for surfing. Wave couldn't wait to show everyone what she could do. A boy and girl the same age as Wave were waiting near the judges. They were looking out over the water. When Wave saw them she ran over to them and hugged the boy with sliver dark blue hair from behind. His sliver dark blue eyes turned to Wave with surprise. The girl started laughing.

"Wave, why did you do that to me?"

"Come on Alex, I was just happy to see you two and plus I've had a really bad day."

"You mean Julia's not coming again?" Wave nodded and turned to the ghost.

"See dad, I'm not the only one who thinks that way." Alex and Lucy looked at each other thinking that she had gone mad.

Lucy's dark blue eyes saw Fin near and bent down to pick him up. Lucy patted Fin and told Wave that they already signed her up and that she should get out there. Wave couldn't argue with that. She smiled and grabbed her board. Wave swam out there. She did a few tricks for practice then went onto the sand. Wave sat on the sand with Lucy and Alex, to watch the rest of the others go out. Wave knew that her dad was staying behind with Fin. Wave started to feel nervous but at the same time she couldn't wait to get out there again.

The judges called out the five girls' names, whom would show them what they could do. The horn went and five teenage girls, with their surfboards, ran to the water and started swimming out. Wave watched with excitement. She really wanted to win this so she could give the money to Julia and her foster dad, David, for their café.

Soon it was Wave's turn to go out there. Wave swam out with her board and had five waves. She did her best tricks and landed them all.

When Wave returned to shore and walked back to Lucy and Alex, she asked them what they thought about her making it into the final five. They both thought that she would. The judges called out the final five and Wave was happy to be one of them. The judges then announced that they would continue the competition in five minutes.

As soon as they recommenced, Wave ran into the ocean and began paddling out. Lucy, Alex, Fin and the ghost of her father, watched as she blew the other girls out of the water.

When it was finally over the judges announced third and second places. Then it was time to announce the winner and it was …… "Wave Shall on 20 points". Wave and Lucy screamed. Wave walked up and received her prize, a trophy and a cheque for five thousand dollars.

She walked with Lucy, Alex and her Dad, to the café owned by David and Julia.

"You did great out there, Wave. I'm so proud of you."

Wave loved how her Dad would always say how proud he was of her. Even though he was dead and only a ghost, Wave loved him no matter what. It made her happy that he was always there for her and she smiled up at him. Lucy and Alex asked whom she was smiling at. Wave knew that they couldn't see her Dad, so she told them that she was just so happy that she had won.

A girl's voice called out to her. They all turned around to see a fifteen-year-old girl standing there with her fist in her hand. She was one of the final five. Wave, Lucy and Alex knew her from school. This girl had long, brown hair with cold, dark green eyes. And she looked angry. Her name was Ann, but everyone just called her Wipeout, because she would always wipe out competitions. Ann accused Wave of cheating and said that she didn't deserve to win the competition. Wave replied that Ann was only jealous that she had lost. Wave and her friends walked away just as Ann said something that made Wave angry, enough for Wave to kill her with a 'tidal wave'.

"You have no family. Julia and David don't even want you."

Wave knew this wasn't true but something inside of her just exploded. As she became angry the sea tides were starting to become wild. Lucy, Alex and Wave's Dad saw the sea's reaction. Lucy and Alex yelled to Ann to get lost, but she didn't listen to them. They all knew was that this wasn't good. Ann screamed at Wave that she had never been loved and she had no family who wanted her. This pulled Wave's anger over the edge. She was so annoyed that a tidal wave fell directly upon Ann. Ann felt more than saw this happening and was about to run away when it hit her. As Ann lay there, Wave calmed down and began to realize that she was really scared herself. Wave thought to herself "Did I do this? How did this happen?"
