Once again Bradin was in love with Erika. Although he knew he couldn't be together, they had to be. They were meant to be together. "Erika." Bradin touched her arm. He was five minutes late for surf team practice on purpose. He knew all the boys would already be in the water and that would give him at least 40 seconds to say a sincere hello and run into the water. "Oh thank god your here. I have great news!" Erika said her smile so bright and vibrant it made Bradin's knee's shake. "I've talked to all the head coaches, everyone. And, well I've been promoted and as long as I'm not coaching your team, we can be together. Its my last practice! Isn't this great!" "You mean your not going to be my coach anymore?" Bradin asked surpirsed. "Well, I guess. But that means we don't have to sneak around anymore and we can surf together without it being mistaken for cheating." Erika was so excited she was practicly jumping up and down. "Yeah. This is really great. Plus everyone knows they pay tons more with the older girls." Bradin said raising his eyebrows. "You mean they pay higher with the older guys." Bradin looked confused. "Wait, older guys. You mean boys?" Bradin asked. He didn't want Erika coaching older guys, she was two years older then him and those guys were exactly her age. "Yeah. Its the only job that was open, you don't mind right?" Erika asked reaching for a board behind her. "Well-" "Bradin, I love you. You know I would never ever do anything to hurt you! Please, its a great job, we can be together, and hey, if you want you can come to the practice, watch my every move. You can follow me around everywhere." Erika laughed handing him a board. "Can I live with you?" Bradin smiled. "Ha Ha. No!" Erika laughed and pushed him toward the water.
Ava perfected all the outfits and stuck them on a hanger. "Do you think were ready?" Susannah asked. "Yeah. Well, Kolby you called all the models to make sure they were showing up right?" Ava turned toward Kolby. "Of coarse. Keisha couldn't but I got a sub and they are all coming a hour earlier then they have to for extra prepreation." Kobly said placing a ourfit on a hanger. "Im nervous." Ava said as she put the hanger on a rack. "Tommorrow is gonna be great. You wait. It'll be awsome. Just wait." Susannah assured her.
Nikki paced back and forth infront of the movies. She stopped to check her watch every 2 minutes or so. Cam was never late. Maybe her clock was wrong and she was early. Nikki looked inside the theater and looked at the clock, it was still 4:29. He was twenty-nine minutes late. Nikki took out her cell and dialed Cam's number. He better have a good excuse, Nikki thought. "Cam? Where are you. Your where? Uh...yeah like twenty-nine minutes ago!" Nikki was full of rage but didn't want to yell. She already had a pretty horrible sore throat and yelling would just make it worse. "You were busy? Oh really? Whatever Cam, bye." Nikki hung up the phone. She couldn't believe Cam stood her up. Even if he was 'busy' he should have called. She walked to Beyond the Blue, maybe someone there could cheer her up.
Bradin couldn't concentrate in the water. He kept falling and then finally after four attemps to do a 180, Erika called him in. "Whats up Kansas?" Erika asked sitting on the edge of the table. "How'd you know?" Bradin said trying not to let her read him. "Its not my fault I can read you like a book." Erika said folding her arms across her chest. "Well, its just a little weird you not being my coach anymore." Bradin mumbled. "Uh huh." Erika gave him a stern face. "Fine. I don't want you coaching guys your age...its just to I don't know." Bradin said as he leaned against the table. "Come on Bray." Erika said standing up tall focasing her eyes on his. "There is nothing to worry about." Erika said patting his shoulder. "Yeah. Your right." Bradin nodded and picked up his board.
