The Boys Of Summer
ST: Here we go readers! My long awaited 6thie! I sorry it took so long, but I really wanted to finish Awalk.
TK: Yea right, you're just lazy.
ST: Why are you here?
TK: Umm, cause I want to be?
ST: Bs! You were only here cause you and Dais were supposed to make sure that I didn't "do anything stupid" to your characters! Well, fyi, that story's over, so go back to where ever it is that you came from!
TK: Woa, chill. I came from your mind.
ST: Oh. Then stay out, I've got too much crap in there already.
TK: Naw, it's not that full. Lots of storage space and cobwebs. But I'd rather be here, cause dude, you've got some freaky-shit ideas in there.
ST: Yea, well you were one of 'em.
TK True, true.
ST: Well, my excuse for not being able to update is one word: Grounded. Yep, I was grounded for a week. But I'm back!
TK: Yea, yea. On with the story already!
Chapter 6
(((((((TK)))))))
Okay, maybe I was overreacting, which I really wasn't. But I did feel bad for being a jerk to everyone. It wasn't like I was trying, really! But, how would you feel if someone grabbed your tongue and didn't let go?
Yea, but I guess I didn't have to shun Davis like that. He has been really nice to me lately.
My guilt and my thoughts were what made me emerge from my lair of darkness and approach the young surfer's door.
Tai was still on the couch and Matt was in the kitchen sweeping. He's such a freaking neat freak when it comes to that damn kitchen of his. What you should see is his room.
I knew Davis was in his room. I heard his door slam shut and felt its after math rumble my walls.
I walked to his door and kicked it. I heard ruffling and waited patiently until it opened. When it did, I was greeted by a scowling burgundy-head. Once he saw my green hat, he perked up.
"Teeks! What's up dude?"
Glad to see a happy face, I smiled and said, "Nothing really. Wanna do something?"
Dai vigorously nodded his head and told me to wait while he changed. Within second he popped back out with only his trunks. Call it coincidence that mine were on as well.
"Today, I'm gonna teach you how to surf!"
It was about 1:00, so we didn't have that much time to waste if I was "going to learn how to surf" by today. We left the apartment and jaywalked to the beach. I followed Davis as he jogged up to the water's edge.
Davis seemed to embrace the ocean, gazing lovingly out at the waves as they rolled back and forth, back and fourth. His arms were raised and ready to hug the gulf. We stood there, Davis watching the sea, and me watching Davis watch the sea. Soon, the rip tide crept up on me, causing me to slightly loose my footing.
"Davis, I thought-"
He held a finger up to my face. "Shhh. Be one with the ocean."
Oh boy. Now here's something I should've gotten on tape. Davis and the ocean...
To my absolute joy and sheer luck, someone else appeared beside me. And not to join our "being one with the ocean".
"Hey TK. He's in his ocean mode, isn't he?"
I nodded at the girl in the red bikini. She giggled and took my hand.
"C'mere. You here to learn how to surf?"
I nodded again and she drug me towards a place with a sign that read "The Shack". Davis had told me that this was the surfboard rental shop, but mostly him, Ken, and Kari's hangout. Sure enough, along with a bunch of surfboards, there were pictures of the three of them everywhere.
"Then I'll teach you."
(a/n: I dunno if I've mentioned this but: If you have ever read the Jonah Black books, the girl Posie, you know? Kari is a take off of her. Posie kicks! That is all.)
(((((Norm)))))
TK and Kari finished up around 5:30, right when the sun was entering towards the sea.
"Good. You did real good. For your first time. Tomorrow I'll have you up."
TK nodded and handed the board back to Kari. "Thank you, really."
Kari shrugged and began to carry both boards back up to the shack. "No problem. See ya tomorrow, 10 am sharp."
TK watched her for a moment before turning back to look for his friend. He dug his hat out of his (large) pocket and stuck it back on his head as he walked back down the shore where he last saw Dai.
Sure enough, there stood Davis, arms out and eyes closed.
TK sniggered and said, "O wise mentor, don't you think that you've embraced the ocean enough? It's almost 6."
Davis, obviously startled, opened his eyes and turned to face the blonde. "Five?! Awww man! I fell asleep."
TK did a double take. "Pardon, but did you say that you fell asleep?"
Davis nodded. "Yea, and I can't move my arms."
TK began to laugh and Davis scowled. "Dude, that's not funny! Help me!"
TK, trying to keep his giggles to himself, attempted to push Davis' arms down. When he released them, thought, they popped right back up. TK, perplexed, tried to hold them down. After about two minutes, he got them to stick.
"I'm a genius!" he cried and threw his hands into the air.
Davis rubbed his sore arms and laughed, "C'mon, let's get your genius ass back home. It's late."
TK slung an arm over Davis' shoulder and walked back up the beach, the whole time explaining to Davis what Kari had taught him, only to have Davis nod in agreement.
(((((Dai)))))
Okay, so I can't teach. Kar seems to have been pretty damn successful in that department. Actually, she's pretty much better than me in everything that I'm bad at. Hmmm, twilight zone moment.
Well, anyways, now that TK had the basics on how to surf, we could both enter the upcoming, local surf contest.
"Hey Teeks, did you have fun out there?"
He nodded. "Yea, it's pretty cool."
"Well, if you want, you could enter a local contest."
He seemed to actually think about it! Like you really need to..
"Sure! Kari says that I'll be better than you in, like, no time."
Yes! "That's the spirit, Teeks! Awsomely awsome! You won't regret it."
As we walked up to the complex, I explained everything to him. "It's next week, so you'll have plenty time to improve, kay? And that's about it! No worries!"
He eyed me cautiously, as if I were about to lash out at him at any moment. "Dude, what are you doing?"
TK shook his head and smiled. "Davis, have you ever thought of hearing aids?"
I don't think he wanted an answer to that question, like it was one of those hypo-whatch-macall-thetics. Before i could think it over, he walked into the apartment, leaving me to ponder: Hearing aids? I have perfect vision!

ST: Sorry if it was short. Cause it was. Please Review! Comments and praise are always accepted.
TK: And the occasional flame.
ST: Yep!
TK: Yep.
ST: Oh, just asking but, am I just stupid or is there some kind of secret on how to get italics or bolds or extra spaces? Someone please assist me!
TK: 'Til then.
