"Push yourself up faster, Mizushima!" The instructor yelled from the shore.
Tsuikiko straddled her board and rolled her eyes, "Trust me I'm moving at the speed of light."
She bobbed up and down in the water with the blue oval. Other students were laughing and crashing into the water with every wave. Brushing her slightly damp hair out of her eyes, she looked over to Ji-Chi who was further away. He paddled out, looked back, and caught a large wave. The wave started to die around were Tsuikiko was idling and he kicked over to her.
"Well, you look about ready to join a competition. Don't you agree?"
Her eyes looked at him blankly. There was silence until interrupted by Tsuikiko flipping his board over.
The third year rose from underwater and hugged his board, "Why?!"
"I hope you drown," Tsuikiko answered.
Watching the other students was a peaceful activity to Tsuikiko. Being forced to participate was not. Cool water lapped against her calves. Ji-Chi kept her company, splashing her with the water once in a while.
An hour passed and the students were called in to return their boards.
"Place the boards up against one another and go back to swimming or something," Ms. Nikazi screamed out into the ocean.
The pair competed to see who could make it back to shore with the obvious winner being Ji-Chi.
She huffed and picked her board up from the water, struggling with the suctioned plastic. It was finally released and her shoulder took the weight of the 6' piece.
Turning with purpose, she hit Ji-Chi in the upper back.
"My mistake," she sung.
Ji-Chi growled and broke the velcro seal around his ankle, "You could've broken something, idiot."
Tsuikiko cocked her head to the side, "You're right. This board is quite expensive."
She walked off to the rental stands and dropped it in front. The sand shifted beneath its weight.
The rental building was small and placed further away from the beach than it should be. It provided customers with not only surfboards, but jet-skis, paddle boards, etc. Other classmates were running back into the water with delight and Tsuikiko's mouth twitched in disgust.
A hand grabbed the board at her feet and lifted it up with ease.
Her attention shifted from the teens around her to the teen beside her. "Oh."
Lightly tanned abs were directly before her. She could see his biceps clench while adjusting the board onto his broad shoulders. The veins going up his forearms bulged. He shook his head to the side to get his dripping raven hair off of his eyebrows.
"Don't leave it on the ground. People will trip," Genji told her. There wasn't any bite or harshness to it, just a blatant fact.
She swallowed, "Thanks." Oh my god. Where are his clothes? Why is he so good looking? Why is here, wait what? "Why are you here anyways? You aren't in Group D," she stuttered to fill the pause.
He walked towards the rest of the boards and leaned hers against it.
"My jet-ski is too small."
Her giggle made the situation of having a walking sculpture in front of you a little less awkward. "You're just too big."
Genji nodded and started to walk back in the direction he came. "Coming?"
"Why?"
He looked over his shoulder. Her slender body was accented by her grey sweetheart bikini and white bottoms. Hair was draped over her left side and droplets of saltwater hit the sand from the tips. Licking his bottom lip, he grabbed her wrist and took him with her.
The blush on his face was becoming more and more difficult to hide, "Because."
Ji-Chi was walking towards the stands and paused when he saw Genji pulling Tsuikiko along. He could hear her sounds of protest in the distance. She moved her head around and caught his eye.
He shot her the thumbs up and winked. They walked down the beach with other students noticing them, some whistling.
Her wrist was released and she raised her head.
"Get on," Genji told her. He nodded his head to the jet-ski in front of them.
Disbelief made her refuse, "I can't drive."
He stepped closer to her forcing her towards the water toy. She made eye contact with him one last time to communicate her doubt and stepped onto it. It bounced and Genji wrapped his large arm around her waist to steady her. He made her skin hot and she sat down.
"Ok, now what?" She said loosely gripping the handles. The ski bounced again. It tilted slightly more upwards with the added weight to the back.
Larger hands were placed besides her. "Now we can go."
The engine roared and mist brushed at their ankles.
