Holiday Sun- chapter 11- Surfing and Bad Dress-sense

Here you are, this is dedicated to Cooper 101 for the idea of surfing, I thank you and hope that everyone reading beyond this point likes it :) I haven't written for ages for many reasons- mainly as I have returned to school and got sooo much homework!

Connor stared at Abby and shook his head slowly.

"C'mon Connor it's not that bad!" Abby cried handing him the shirt.

Connor pouted and tipped his head to look at her like she was insane. "It's seriously not funny!" Connor laughed backing away slowly in the process. But Abby would still make him wear it one way or the other- she has a knack with this kind of thing. It was unfair sometimes.

Abby was holing out a shirt that Connor was just supposed to put on... It was bright yellow in colour but that wasn't the bad point about it!

The writing on the front made it so much worse...

But at least it hadn't got a dinosaur on it- those one's would make you want to hide.

But still no matter how much Connor tried to get out of wearing it... Abby already had one up on him. He knew, he'd have to wear it now!

Becker looked at Jess, "can you see what he's wearing?" Becker whispered to Jess as they stood just outside their room.

"From a mile away." Jess grinned and looked over at Becker slyly. Jess's smile suddenly broadened and she looked suddenly very pleased with herself all in a sudden. "I may, I may have convinced Abby to make him wear it," Jess stared at Becker with a smirk on her face.

"Well done!" Becker grinned triumphantly. "You've made him look like an idiot; even before he has the chance to fall over," Becker explained.

"Why? What are we doing today?" Jess asked Becker as she shut the hotel door, and steadily walked towards Abby and the now increasingly embarrassed Connor.

"We're surfing- remember?" Abby commented as if to answer the question she had blatantly overheard.

They all met down by the beach in around half an hour's time. Abby was already leaning on the reserve shed; she had decided against getting any surf boards as she was actually unsure as to who would be participating.

Connor had already told everyone repeatedly that 'Abby wanted to make me look silly'.

Jess disagreed with this statement and giggled lightly, "You can do that on your own Connor." By saying that Connor just began to grumble about the fact that everyone was being 'very mean'.

Finally they rented a surfboard for everyone there. Lester refused outright to go on them, so he went back to the hotel- he wanted to finish his book...

So Abby collected a white one and so did Emily. Matt got a light green, Becker collected a light blue one (to everyone's surprise), and Jess ended up getting a pick which made her giggle and grin. And Connor... well he ended up with a fluorescent blue.

Emily and Abby just laughed at him. He looked incredibly stupid!

Connor had now a reddening blush across his face when he drew Abby away from the group to talk to her privately.

"You look ridiculous Connor!" Abby laughed. Still thinking he looked like a real idiot.

Then Connor's body language suddenly changed... you could notice the anxiety and fear edging into his voice. So it was serious at least. "Can you see it?" Connor whispered shushing Abby down.

Abby turned around to face Connor and furrowed her brow. "What do you mean Connor?" Abby asked looking at Connor.

Connor stared at her in utter concern. "Can you see the bruises, as you made me wear a shirt with no collar at all?"Connor hissed in indignation.

Abby frowned, "You should have said Con. I thought... I'm sorry Connor. I can't see any, but I didn't know you had an alternative motive," Abby looked apologetically at him frowning slightly.

"Abby, it's my fault. I should've told you why..." Connor never managed to finish as Emily walked over and interrupted their conversation. She slowly ushered them over towards the water...

Within minutes of starting to actually surf; Becker had tried to teach them exactly how to surf and the best techniques. Well he did actually consider himself an expert.

So Abby showed him up, she caught the next wave and stayed on her board until the wave ceased. "Who's really better?" Abby asked looking over at everyone else.

"Abby!" Connor cried as he fell off the board into the glistening water.

"Becker!" Jess cried as Becker continued to hold her board up as she steadied herself.

"Abby!" Emily added arching her shoulders are grimacing as Matt tried to get her on the board.

Matt glared across at the others who were still arguing. "Stop being immature you lot! Have fun- it's our holiday!" Matt cried sighing lightly to prove his frustration to the others.

After a short while Jess (with help from Becker) was surfing. Everyone was except from Emily who had decided she hated water-sports altogether. So she had resulted in just sitting on the board and paddling and really, really trying not to fall off. It was actually so much easier! Plus, she hadn't any idea how you're not supposed to fall off.

But at that precise moment the group were totally unaware that they were being watched.

The man chuckled as he saw Connor fall off bringing Abby and Becker down with him. Even from here he could see them laughing and talking away together.

He was a traitor! That man was a traitor. And he was going to pay!

Becker tripped up Connor and he fell back into the water. "Oops, were you walking there?" Becker laughed looking at the now sand-covered Connor, who was currently glaring up at him still on the floor lying on his back.

Then the two were interrupted from Connor glaring and Becker thinking he looked like a total idiot. "Guys! Massive wave coming!" Jess shrieked pointing into the distance. She probably wanted Becker to help her get back on the board, as she always ended up falling in.

Immediately after Becker heard this he pulled Connor upright and they headed towards everyone else, who were now rather deep in the sea.

Finally Connor and Becker reached the others. "I'm gonna fall off!" Connor cried as the over-sized wave inched closer to them.

Abby just laughed as the wave washed over Connor. "Smooth, Con. Way to go!" Abby cried and watched him aimlessly trying to catch his board which was gradually drifting away.

"I didn't drown!" laughed Emily clapping her hand in utter excitement and pleaser, and then she turned to stare at a very spluttering Becker. Maybe her wasn't the best surfer of them all? Emil had stayed on and Becker had fallen off! "Hey, what happened?" Emily asked. She must have missed something.

Becker grinned up at Emily and edged to his board to clamber onto it. "Jess was falling in- so I saved her-," Becker broke into a smile and Jess just blushed.

"Well... thanks Becker," Jess commented nervously.

Becker just began to laugh at how she said it and steadied himself on his board, splashing water at Jess in doing so.

"Has anyone seen my board?" Connor asked who was still trying to stay above the waves long enough to spot it.

Abby turned around on her board and studied the sea; there it was, just over that ridge. "Just over there Con," Abby told him pointing in one direction.

Connor began to swim towards it, just then they all heard as he suddenly cried, "OW!" As the board just hit him full force as he had tried to catch it.

"Connor, you did deserve that. You did get in the way," Matt told Connor who was still splashing around in the waves.

Emily just broke into hysterics as Connor tried to get onto his board. He ended up once more flipping the board and falling into the water on the other side with a confused and stunned expression on his face.

"You look like an utter idiot!" Abby laughed holding his board steadier so he had a better chance of actually getting on it.

"I'm not an idiot!" groaned Connor sadly. Immediately after he actually told Abby that he nearly fell off the board again. Maybe his balance wasn't something to be desired. "I just have absolutely no balance!" he cried as he somehow managed to face-plant the water.

"You can say that again!" Abby cried as he broke the surface spluttering and seaweed dangling off his shoulder. How exactly had it even got there? Abby didn't even bother to ask, it was Connor and that was excuse enough.

Becker grinned at Jess; Jess was actually surfing now- and rather well! She didn't fall off as much as Connor, which was rather easy to achieve.

Sometimes Becker was sure that Connor fell in for the sake of it now and again. However, he was sure Connor wasn't about to stop being clumsy. It was actually quite funny to watch.

There was nothing else they were planning to do that day so they all went their separate ways. Emily and Matt went to have a walk around the area, Abby and Connor returned to the beach to go back into the sea or something along those lines. Then after a while Connor and Abby ended up climbing on some rocks they had discovered.

Jess and Becker returned to the cliff they had grown to love. They planned to stay there until they were meeting up with everyone for food.

Then there was Lester... he was in his room- getting slightly drunk.

Lester walked across his room and smiled. Thankfully Connor had supplied him with a load of free alcohol- which will be fun! Lester was surprised by how much Connor had been able to get him. Lester slowly bent down and picked one out the cabinet and took a sip. Then in second thoughts he drank it all down.

Only a few hours Lester was quite drunk and for some odd reason he was looking through his wallet. Lester looked at the photo's he had... maybe? Lester lifted his phone.

He knew his wife had told him to take the whole two weeks off- but he simply couldn't stay this long away from home.

Lester lifted the phone to his ear and placed the photo back down. It was a small image of his little girl... there was one underneath of the ARC, the old one (with Cutter and Stephen). Lester grinned as he heard a voice on the other end...

H'd'you like? It was longer than some of the others- for good reason! I will update every Thursday from now on as this is the only day I actually have free now!
