Forever is too long
Chapter One
"Daddy, do we have to move here," I said standing on the edge of the ship. "Yes Arisa, we have to," my dad said chuckling, "You love the islands." "Yes, Hawaii and Maui, but here," I said making a face. "Come on, maybe you'll make some new friends," my dad smiled showing his white teeth." "Maybe", I mumbled.
See, only a couple of weeks ago, I was a happy normal 15-year old girl, I, Arisa Tanaka. I had a great life in the city, I had great friends and I was the coolest and smartest person in my school. The cutest boy in the whole school had asked me to the hottest teen night club in town. My life was perfect, nothing was wrong, I loved my life, till my dad decided to move to a place called Destiny Island, or is it Future Island, I'm not sure.
"Arisa, look. You can go back to the café and hang out with someone your age," my dad turned to me. "There is nobody my age." "Yes there is, how about that girl named Kita, she's the daughter of my business partner, you remember her," my father said pointing to a girl with light brown hair that was curled and with a butterfly hairclip and she wore a really, and I mean a really short, plaid skirt and a pink tube-top. Instead of wearing shoes, she wore fuzzy slippers that looked like they had a diamond pendent on them.
If I was still in my old school, this is the type of girl that would give me some competition, but now she's just not worth my time.
I walked over but made a sharp turn towards the bar and ordered a mocha frap. (frappuccino to all the non-coffee drinkers) I saw my dad look at me and he laughed to himself as he walked off somewhere. I walked back to where me and my dad were and stood there staring at my new home. I wonder, what kinda people will be there? Will there be any cute guys! Omigod! What if it's just filled with old men! I see a glare coming from the island and I see start seeing three people lounging on the beach. Old people do not lounge! Alleluia! And the angels sing! I noticed that it was two guys and one girl. Lucky, two guys to yourself!
"Oh, Arisa! How are you doing, darling." I turned around to see Kita walking over giving me one of those frilly waves , so there's only one thing to do. I waved back and said my 'hello' and 'goodbye' in only two-minutes. My new world record. I went back to my quarters and changed into a short forest green skirt. Paired off with a bright yellow bare-midriff tank-top. I wore a pair of black knee high, lace-up boots, I wore my chestnut brown hair in a high ponytail with beads hanging from the strands that I left out. I knew that little Miss Kita would be envious of my appearance so I smiled to my self.
I walked out and saw that we had stopped while I was getting dressed. I saw Kita walking down the plank on to a smaller boat that took at least an hour to making it to the island, I realized that there were two ways of getting to the island, A) taking a boat that took at least an hour or B) to swim and take about thirty minutes. I chose B and jumped into the water, I heard shouts to get back on the boat, but I ignored them. I swam like there was no tomorrow. Back at my old school I was on the swim team and the water relaxes me.
About thirty-five minutes later I was on dry land and saw Kita still coming in the boat. "Arisa! Where have you been!" I guess my dad made it there earlier cause he was there behind me and his face all red. "Hi daddy," I said weakly.
