Niuhi
A shark aware of its prey; a shark that can walk among humans.
I shaded my eyes, scanning the water.
“Kalei’s going to scare the surfers,” I said.
Maka put her hand on my shoulder.
“No, Zader, he’s not.”
“Well, what’s he doing then? He’s headed right toward them.”
“He’ll circle first,” she whispered.
I saw Jay wash over the top and down the backside of a wave, heading back to the line-up.
Dang.
I missed his ride.
Wait.
Jay!
I squinted against the glare, trying to spot the dorsal fin in the water.
“You mean Kalei will circle before he bumps? Who’s he gonna bump?”
I felt Maka shake her head beside me, my eyes never leaving the surf.
“Jay? Kalei’s going to bump Jay? If that happens, Jay will never surf again!” I said.
I felt panic rise like a tsunami
