Surf & Love

Jade’s POV Grrrr..(alarm clock rings) Urghhhh..I’m beginning to hate this sound..Jade said as she picks up the clock and flings it over her bed stand,as it lands on the floor with a loud thud she hears her mom yell from downstairs “did you just destroy your alarm again” “no mom” urghhh why I’m I always in a shitty mood on Mondays..I get out of bed and go get ready for school..at exactly 7 I’m fully dressed and heading downstairs where I meet mom,dad and Cora in the kitchen eating breakfast “Morning mom,Morning dad” I say “morning baby”mom says with a mouthful of toast while dad mumbles a very inaudible “howdy daughter” which makes me chuckle, “hmm..hmm” I hear Cora clear her throat clearly expecting me to greet her.. “ morning Cora” and incase y’all wondering Cora’s my “wonderful” elder sis who everyone adores..I grab a toast and an orange juice,i put the juice in my backpack and start to munch on my toast when mum decides to remind me of my much dreaded surf lessons “so, you excited for today” since I clearly wasn’t I decide to act like I forgot hoping that would make i forget “uhhh..what’s today,is it take your kids to work day” I say with a fake smile “no Jade it’s not take your kids to work day and even if it was we’d take Joey not you” mom says clearly not pleased by my stalling so I try a different approach “heyy,speaking of,where is Joey, I haven’t seen him since I came down” I say while pretending to look around “He’s still in bed, and that’s not the f**cking point” mom yells “uh..uh” i hear Cora say “stop trying to change the topic” “fine mom,I’m not excited, I don’t even wanna go” I say already fuming “ common baby, you come from a whole family of surfers I know you don’t like it but you have to try” she says with a small smile “dad” I say trying to get dad to say something or at least help me out but he just shrugged and go back to his phone “baby” my mom says “at least go for the lessons for my sake, i and your dad spent a fortune on them” but I don’t want to “buy you need to” she says a little sterner than before “ok, I will, but that doesn’t mean I’m happy with it” I say and grab my backpack as I run out the door but not before I hear mum say a faint goodbye baby.. Why can’t she just understand,I don’t like surfing,I hate the salty sea, I don’t really like the breeze in my face.. why can’t I just go to an art camp or something,must I be part of the family history..I think on my way to school..the whole walk was a blurrr cause before I could think straight again I was bumping head first into a huge rock hard chest that sends me off to the ground .. “Heyy, can’t you see” it was Danny,Malibu high’s football captain .. “I’m sorry” I managed to say “it’s no p, are you ok” he says looking genuinely consigned “I’m..I’m fine” I say in a shaky voice “do you need a hand” he says as he stretch’s forth his hand dragging me back to reality that I was on the floor in the hall way with everyone staring at me like I was coo-coo,I instantly grab his hand and I fly back up,which was a very bad idea cause the next thing I knew we were standing first to face like we wanted to kiss which was weird ,I could have stayed in that position forever but Mandy just had to cut it short.. “hmm..hmm,I think you’ve got the wrong man” I instantly jump back and stare at the floor.. “ uhh, why were your filthy hands all over my boyfriend” she asks..no, I mean yell and I practically shrink into myself hoping I’d just disappear.. “the next time I see you rubbing or touching my boyfriend like he was some toy I’d cut your hands off,is that clear” “ye..yes” I say whilst on the verge of tears..I look at Danny for help but he just averts his gaze and I was left to stare at the ground again.. “good,now skiddadle out of my way” Mandy yells and i skamper away like a drenched squirrel..well that was humiliating,now I’m going to be the talk of the whole school for at least 3days ..sighhh, I walk to my locker and pick out my geography textbook and head straight to class where I see savvy waving at me..I go to her and sit directly at her back while she turns and faces me “I heard what happened” she says with a sorry look on her face “really, so fast,how ?? “I heard Mandy’s sidekick talking about it” “urggg..Stacy” I say as her name forms a bitter taste in my mouth “it’s fine,it’s not that bad”Savvy coo’s “at least is better than when you got Mandy’s dress stained” “no it’s not !! I yell, “she literally caught me in her boyfriends arm staring dreamily at him” “OMG..how was it!! Savvy asks curiously “It was fantastic, his abs are so strong and his eyes are haaa..and his arms I could just melt in them” “squeee..” “shhhh savvy, not so loud” I try to quiet her down “but anyways that not the point,the point is I’m going to be the talk of the whole school for 3 days or even more “think of the bright side, you’re the school clown,you get laughed at everytime it shouldn’t mean anything” “Savvy!! I say faking mock anger “I’m sorry but it’s true” sadly yes it’s true,this shouldn’t seem new to me but it is cause I just hate it,I mean who likes to be the school clown,a constant source of mockery for everyone ..no one right, “are you even listening to me” I hear savvy say “yea..yea,hm..hm” I say as the geography teacher walks in “I’m sorry I’m late,now bring out your notes..” she says and starts writing something on the board making savvy to face front and leaving me in my on my own once again..sighhh, what an awful morning..
