Chapter 1: It Starts
Shooting Star awoke with a jolt, to the sound of her older sister screaming. At first Shooting Star just tossed her pillow at her sister Wild Rose. It didn't make her stop screaming. This attempt fail with falling colors.
"DON'T TAKE HER!!!! SHES MY ONLY SISTER I NEED HER TAKE ME INSTEAD!!" Wild Rose screamed. A red handprint appeared on her face. Shooting Star had to wake her. She started to shake her. Finally after about 5 minuets of violent shaking her sister, Wild Rose was awake.
"Rose, you alright?" Shooting Star asked her sister.
"Yeah, that was freaky."
"What happened?" Shooting Star asked.
"You know that Surf Tournament that is in a later today?" Wild Rose asked and Shooting Star nodded in reply. "I saw you and Alex surfing and me and this guy I called Scott on the beach watching, it was your pratics runs. You were falling and then everything stopped me and you were still moving. You were able to get your balance back and you saw that the waves were frozen. Alex had his mouth wide open and a whole bunch stuff flashed before my eyes. You were being taken away and I tried to stop it getting slapped by this really big guy and flew across the beach." She stopped and felt her face.
"Don't worry about it. All it was, was a dream… right"
"There was something different about this one. It was way too real; I could hear the ocean, feel the sand, the sun and I could even feel the feeling of the slap. I think something is going to happen."
"Come on lets just get ready for the tournament. It's in a few hours." Star said
"Sure."
Suited and ready, Shooting Star (Star for short) grabbed her surfboard and called up the stairs to her sister.
"Hurry up, Rose, we're going to be late! I don't want to miss ALEX!" Her voice became a soft mushy mess when the name of her yearlong crush was mentioned, and a dreamy look appeared upon her face, like a rabbit, hidden in a corner relieving itself.
"Oh stop it, you look like Bambi's mother before she got shot." Rose snapped grouchily, lifting her hand to her dark purple strands and fixing the light purple highlights in front. She blinked her eyes with a tired determination before latching her hand around Star's tan arm and pushing her out the door.
The walk to Falls City public beach was a silent one. Star's black flip-flops smacked against the hot, sand covered pavement as they made their way. The sun beat down upon her multi-shaded blue hair, making it feel as though it was on fire. Rose's light blue flip-flops soon joined in unison smacking with her own, and Star noticed that the older twin was also wearing a surfing suit similar to her own.
She immediately jumped at the opportunity of conversation.
"So, you're thinking about going surfing?" Star's bouncy voice jumped into Rose's obviously far away thoughts.
"What? I mean, what do you want?!" Her angry voice startled Star to stop walking, as Rose continued.
"What's YOUR problem?" Star gawked, running to catch up with her. Her sister was practically never this negative, even at eight thirty in the morning.
Rose chose not to meet eyes with her eager sister. "I just...can't stop thinking of that dream, Star."
Star nodded and opened her mouth to comment, when they were interrupted by a high, squeaky voice shouting,
"STAR!" It shouted, and both Star and Rose turned to identify it.
There stood Jessica Chamberlin, most popular girl in the whole history Falls City High School. Her long, bleached blonde hair hung short around her face, and she clung onto the side of Alex Masters. Star's face lit up at the sight of them, and she waved.
"Hey guys, hey!"
They laughed and waved back, while star grabbed Rose's reluctant shoulder and pulled her along.
"Hey Star!" Jessica greeted, giving Rose a quick glance dripping with disapproval.
"So like, are you entering the surf competition?"
Star nodded and turned her eyes to Alex, also holding a surfboard. "So...um...Alex, are you, um...uh..." She pointed dumbly to the surfboard in his hand, blushing furiously.
He, of course, understood, and smiled his wonderful smile admits nods, sending his sun blonde hair bouncing beside his ears. "Yeah! I'm totally planning to wipe out the competition." He looked behind him and called in a louder voice, "Hey Scott, you coming, Bro?"
A taller, (must have been SIX feet), more muscular male appeared behind them. His hair was a chocolate brown, and his complexion was much paler than that of Alex. "Already ahead of you." His voice was deep and manly.
"Scott, this is Star, and her twin sister Rose. You haven't met them yet." Scott nodded.
"Nice to meet you." His eyes drifted to their surfboards. "So, you adding to Alex's list of people he's going to kick off the opponent board?"
Star attempted a small, girlish giggle alike to Jessica's, but failed miserably, so just put on a shy smile.
"Um, ya, I plan to put up a fight..." But Jessica was in front of her before she could say anything more.
"But like, Alex is the best in all of Hawaii, right Alex?"
Alex shrugged, but there was a confident grin on his face that showed he himself thought so. Jessica linked her arm protectively around his and dragged him away, twittering noisily all the way.
"Well, good luck on the surf competition, Star. Nice meeting you, Rose."
Rose looked up at the sound of her name. She wasn't use to be acknowledged among Star's friends.
"Oh ya, you too." She murmured under her breath, than looked up. "Hey are you surfing?" She asked
"Yeah, I'm going against my brother and everybody else here." Scott said.
"Cool." She was still very distant from everybody else. "Star, I'll see you on the waves, I wanna get one or two in before all the shoe bee's get here." She walked off carrying her blue surfboard that read in red text 'Rose For All Time.'
"See ya Rose." She said paying attention to Alex.
"Alex, I'm going to go watch her, just to make sure she's okay."
"See ya bro. Remember she's a bit younger then you." Alex replied slyly to annoy his older brother.
Shooting Star awoke with a jolt, to the sound of her older sister screaming. At first Shooting Star just tossed her pillow at her sister Wild Rose. It didn't make her stop screaming. This attempt fail with falling colors.
