"Ugh, too early…" I moaned into my pillow (they made them out of old shirts and cotton plants that are one the island) the birds would not shut up. I opened my eyes and a light fled in through my window. I shared a room with Bijou and Pepper. Penelope and Pashmina shared a room directly across from us. I slowly got up and got my clothes and walked about a mile to the lake shore. I stripped naked and dived in. I ran my hands through my wet hair and swam in my giant bath tub.

I felt as if someone was watching me as I got dressed. I looked at my reflection after I got dressed. My figure has grown out of the awkward stage of adolescents. I am finally mentally and physically mature. I have been feeling these strange feelings when I am around Maxwell. I don't know what it is. I remember watching movies and my parents do things like kiss (which was totally disgusting) and I have started to want to do that stuff to him. Bijou and Hamtaro do it, as well as Pepper and Oxnard, even Stan and Pashmina do. The only girls who don't are me and Penelope. I mean, I am 15 years old, almost 16 now. Aren't I a little late?

When I got back to our house, I walked into our kitchen and started making breakfast (random bird eggs, fish, crab, and fruit) I crushed some berries and mixed their juices with cocoa nut milk). I grabbed the rock plates (they craved into them to make them the shape and stuff) and put the food on them.

"Wake up! Breakfast is ready!" I yelled to the house. I heard moaning and complaining from a couple different voices. The first one to walk into the kitchen was my crush or something more, Maxwell. He smiled at me.

"Good Morning, Sandy. What did you make?" He asked me

"Eggs, fruit, fish, and crab. The drink is a new experiment." I told him, smiling. It felt like the giant butterflies from the Mountain across the island were fluttering all around in my stomach.

"Sounds great! Thanks!" He kissed me on the cheek and grabbed a plate. Heat surrounded me for a minute and I followed him.

Today is Stan and Panda's turn to do the dishes so I got to go outside. I threw my hair up in a ponytail and my trademark red ribbon and went to the shore. We all know our way around the island and all of the dangers. We marked them 2 years or so ago. Not much lives on the island. The worst thing we have to worry about are the snakes, which Boss just steps on their head and kills them. They tried to make me cook it so we could have some form or meat besides fish and crab, but I refused. I sang to myself as I gathered sea shells, letting the sand in between my toes.

"Sandy, wait up!" I heard Maxwell call from behind me. I turned around and waited. "Hey." He said to me, out of breath. "How are you?"

"Good." I answered, "And you?"

"I'm good. Why do you always walk alone or swim alone instead of hanging out with the girls?" He asked me

"I don't know. I just like to think, I guess. And besides, I don't ALWAYS do stuff alone. I hang out with the girls sometimes. Just not very often."

"Well, why not?"

"Because all they talk about are boys. I mean, there are only 6 guys on the island and nothing to do, but still. Isn't there anything else to talk about?" I ranted

"I'm sure it's not that bad." He laughed

"Oh yeah? What do you guys talk about we us girls are out around the island?"

His face was expressionless. "Nothing of real importance. Just guys stuff."

"As in girls, right?" I smirked

"Yeah, kind of." He chuckled under his breath. I smiled and picked up a shell. It was snow white and was completely round.

"What's this one called?" I asked him. I always asked him what things were ever since before I could remember.

"It's called a sand dollar. Supposedly, they are good luck." He explained

"Well, are they?" I waited eyes big and full of question.

"I think that if you wish hard enough, anything can come true." He smiled at me again and I have to tell myself to calm down. He grabbed my hand and we walked around until lunch, where, even though I didn't know, something big would happen that would change my life.
