Beach
Bo walked onto the beach, surfboard under her arm. Glancing around she slowly walked towards the ocean. The sun was out, the air was warm, their was a nice breeze, and the waves were perfect for surfing. Today would be great.
Baylor walked on to the beach, running a hand threw his hair and looking around. It wasn't too busy but it wasn't exactly clear either. He had finally managed to ditch his sister who wouldn't stop talking about the book she had finished, not that he hated hearing about it... He just hated hearing about it 27/7. He walked onto the sand in search for a clear spot.
Tossing the board onto the ground she glanced around before pulling her red rash guard top on and sliding out of her jean shorts to reveal black bikini bottoms. Bending over, Bo quickly tied a thin rope around her ankle that connected to her board and picked it up.
Baylor sat in the sand, close to the water, slipping his shirt off, already having his swim shorts on. She set his feet into the cold salt waiter, this is where he came to think. The salty air cleared his head well. He liked to watch others surf and he always made note's in hopes to some day be able to do it himself. He never liked getting taught, he always taught himself how to do thing's. He felt it was easier.
With a small grin she ran past a boy around her age and dove into the water with her board pressed to her chest. As she surfaced, Bo started paddling out farther into the water before reaching a far enough spot. She slowly sat back on her board, the end dipping under the water slightly cause of the sudden directed weight. Waiting for a wave would be the most boring part.
Baylor watched as a girl ran past him, diving into the water and landing on her board. Why did everyone make it seem so easy? He watched her, closely, as she paddled out into the water and wait for that perfect wave. He glanced, nervously, back at where his apartment was hoping his sister wouldn't come down. She had probably started a new book already or occupied herself some other way.
Bo started paddling and once she reached the wave speak she got to her feet and surfed down the wave, rather amazingly might I add.(view spoiler)
(( Make sure you are doing two or three sentences each post, please ^-^ ))Baylor supported him self with his hand's, watching the girl surf the wave. Everyone that surfed made it look so easy! The movies and everyone... Why was it so hard for him? He just didn't have balance. That's what Bridget told him any way.
((Whoops XD i was helping my sister and just wanted to reply so i did a short one))Falling bak into the white water, the board went shooting up into the air before falling back into the water. Bo got to her feet and tucked the board back under her arm. As she ran onto the shore she tossed the board down into the sand and squeezed the salt water form her hair
(( It's alright, just watch out for it next time. (: )) Baylor watched the girl run up to shore trying not to stare. She was pretty, but mostly he was interested in how she could surf like that. Of course he wouldn't ask, he hated asking for help. He had no problem talking to people though.
"Hi." He said before he even processed that he was going to say hello. He smiled up at her anyway.
"Oh hey" she grinned slightly before clearing her throat. "Mind if I sit..." she asked slowly calming her nerves. It was such a rush to surf, and everyone always told her she acted really hyper after surfing. So she tried to sit still and not stare at the water.... or the boy. He looked as though he had just walked off the front page of a fashion magazine.
Baylor smiled at her and shook his head, looking down at the empty spot next to him. "Not at all. Take a seat." He encouraged.He looked back up at her waiting for her to sit. He enjoyed talking to people. He looked at her for a while, trying to remember if he had seen her somewhere before. He couldn't think of it now, but maybe he would think about it later.
"Thanks" she smiled and sat down, crossing her legs. Trailing a finger over the sand she started writing the two letters of her name into the damp sand. "I'm Bo by the way, and you are?" she only glanced over at him for a split second. Pulling her damp hair into a messy bun, the feeling of water trickling down her neck caused her to shudder slightly.
"Baylor." He said smiling. He watched her draw in the sand. 'Bo.' Unique yet strange name. "Nice to meet you,Bo." He said. He kind of liked it, though the name felt weird in his mouth kind of. "Do you go to UCLA?" He questioned, feeling like he had seen her face before. He had probably seen her around at the school, or maybe at some party or something.
"No idea what your talking about. If it's a school, I don't go to school. Haven't gone for over four years" she smirked as if proud of that fact. Education was overrated... that was her excuse anyways. Better than saying she didn't have enough money.
Baylor nodded slowly. "Oh." He sat back a little again, watching the the ocean's waves crash together. "Okay then... How about parties... Do you go to any parties that are thrown around here?" He asked her a bit hopefully. If he didn't find out where he had seen her then he might just go crazy. He hadn't been here that long but her new a lot of people around. But, LA was big. Maybe it was just in his head.
"Of course." she smiled at him thinking he was slightly insane. "Just cause I don't go to school doesn't mean I don't have a life" Bo joked while wiping the sand off her rash guard. Giving up on getting the sand out she turned to watch him with a slightly amused look on her face.
"Oh, I didn't mean that you didn't have a life." Baylor said, shaking his head glancing at her for a moment. "I just knew I recognized you from somewhere. And... If it wasn't school, then it was parties." He said simply. "I'm not... Crazy or anything..." He laughed lightly. "Though, I'm sure you think I am..." He muttered running a hand through his hair again.
"Don't worry, all the best people are. Crazy I mean" she fell back into the sand with a sigh. Staring up at the sky, she slowly placed her hands over her stomach. Her hair was now covered in sand and the small particles pressed into her skin. It was uncomfortable thoough not un barable
(( Sorry. )) "Mmm. Then I am the best of the best." Baylor said, jokingly. He pulled his feet from the water and lay down on the hot sand. He folded his hand's behind his head wondering why the girl hadn't gone to school. Why she didn't want to... You could just do so much more after graduating and he never understood why people wouldn't want to. But he was sure they ha their reason's and he didn't want to invade in personal space so he didn't ask.
"Uhhuh, sure" she grinned at him momentarily before burrying her hands in the sand. "So.... Do you surf?" She picked up one hand and ran it over her surf board. Rubbing her thumb over the waxy coating she let out a small sigh.
Baylor laughed lightly and shook his head. "No." He said plainly. He wasn't going to tell her that he wished he knew how. He would just leave it at that. "I don't surf... I play basketball." He added kind of wishing he had went to a basketball court instead. He usually always spends free time in a court. He even enjoyed playing with his sister. Even though she sucked at it terribly. It was still fun.
"Ah, basketball. The most peculiar sport of all. I used to play, but uh... As you can tell I'm a bit short" she shielded her eyes with the back of her hand from the sun. Rolling over and onto her stomach she propped herself up on her elbows.
"You use to play?" He asked, slightly shocked, smiling at her. "That's pretty cool. Just because you are short does not mean you are not good. Or can be good." Baylor told her. He had known many short basketball players', of course not as many short one's as tall but still, their are some. One of his old friends was really shot but one of the best her knew!
"Ya but it was a long time ago. Like when I was 17 or 18." She shrugged it off. Swinging her legs ever so slightly through the air she looked at the boardwalk. "What's school like?" Bo suddenly blurted out and the moment it left her mouth she regretted saying it.
Baylor nodded."I see." He said. "What's school like?" He repeated. "I don't know. I guess it's different for everyone. But I'm doing what I love when I'm there. I love it... But some people have a different opinion on it. If you went to school... What would you be going to school for?" He asked her curiously.
"I would go so that So I could get a job. A good one. Not working at a fast food place or cleaning up after people. I really wanted to be a..... Never mind it's stupid" she smiled nervously after realizing she had been rambling on again. She always did that. Talking too much about stupid things. At least that's what her employer always said. "Less talking, more cleaning." She said though not loud enough to be heard.
Baylor smiled, likening to hear about it. When she stopped her frowned at her. "It's not stupid. What can be more stupid then throwing a ball into a hoop for a career?" He said, jokingly. "Come on," he nudged her softly, trying to encourage her. Bo seemed like a nice girl, she was pretty and she didn't seem to like to hide behind some mask like most girls. Of course, he could be wrong. Maybe the mask just haven't come off yet.
"Good point" she said with a small smile. "And don't laugh at my dreams of becoming an E.R nurse" she brushed her hands over her hair nervously waiting for his response. Dozens of people had told her she would never become a nurse: even her parents thought it was dumb.
Baylor nodded and smiled, not laughing. "That's pretty cool. I have a sister, she was interested in Anatomy for a little while. But she finds new interest really fast and it didn't last long." He said. "Why did you ever give up in your dream?" He asked. "... If you don't mind me asking, that is." He added, smiling at her. Doctor typed stuff was common for people to be interested in. And you could go far with it, why would she give that up?
"Money issues" she shrugged it off quickly. "I decided the money would be better spent on a house and food." she nodded a little to herself. Bo needed someone to agree with her: to tell her that she made the right choice. Surviving was all that had been important to her. Shaking off the bad memories, she then turned to look at him. "What about you? You must have a dream..." she smiled awkwardly in an attempt to talk about something else.
Baylor studied her a little longer. Of course, the reason a lot of people don't go to collage. It always made him upset to see people who couldn't live there dream because of something so small. Why did money play such a big part in this world? Why did it rule over all of them? He didn't like it, he was lucky enough to get a scholarship for Basketball and Bridget had saved up all her life for collage. "Basketball is my dream." He said. "Though at one point I was sure going to be a pop star. Didn't work out." He said, chuckling.
"Nice" she laughed a little then stood up brushing herself off. "Well I should be going. The maid has some cleaning to do" she smiled sadly before pulling a strand of hair around her finger and twirling it. It was one of her nervous habbits. Wanting an excuse to not go to work, she lingered for a moment or two longer: it was as if she was waiting for an objection, a reason for her to stay, something to convince her.
Baylor nodded, he got to his feet just as his phone went off. "Well..." He muttered, trailing off as he saw Bridget's name pop up. He sighed and when he didn't answer it he revived a text, begging for him to come back. He swore this sister of his didn't have a life without him and school. "... Looks like I have to leave to." He said, sadly, pulling his shirt back on. "Maybe I'll see you around." He said, smiling at her.
"Yea, maybe. I'll uh... see you around" she turned quickly scooping up her surf board and walking off. She had no right to be disapointed: after all she had just met this guy. But still, it had been forever since she had a friend. And it was nice talking to someone about normal things: not which cleaning supplies to use or how to save money. A girl could still dream....
Cameron pulled up to the beach and parked his truck. He got out, grabbed his surf board. He walked over to an open spot on the beach and sat his things down. Cam took his shirt off and sat down in the sand. He looked around then got up and walked up to the water with his surf board in his hand. He went out into the water and started surfing.
Mod
Cameron came back from the water and laid his.surf board down in the sand. He sat down and noticed the girl laying close to him. He looked at her and smiled "Hi I'm Cameron buy everyone calls me cam." he introduced him self to her
Mod
"Its nice to meet you." he said. Cameron looked at her. She looked way younger that me was and didn't want her to think he was trying to do anything, he was just trying to be nice. He didn't know much people around. He.began to dry off his hair.
Mod
"Is that so?' he slightly chuckled "I have graduated already." he smiled over at her "I have lived hhere for a whilr but o haven't really met anyone her
Mod
"That's cool." Cameron smiled. "What team do you cheer for?" he finished drying his hair and put his towel next to him. He picked up his water bottle and took a drink of it while he waited for her to answer. He then put his bottle down and looked back at her
Mod
"Yeah I have a younger sister named Alexis but people call her Alex and her best friend which is pretty much family named Nicole but people call her Nikki, a younger brother named Justin and another younger sister named kassidy." he smiled "I think Alex and Nikki know you. They both go to LAHS and both are seniors." Cameron thought she was a beautiful girl but he didn't want to take things too far because she was younger than he was. "You have any siblings?" he looked at her
Mod
Cameron nodded and smiled. He tried not to look over her body but failed. He smiled at her again after he looked over her body. "So I guess your miss popular at school?" he asked chuckling. He looked her in her eyes and waited for her to answer him. When he was in school he was captain of the football team so he was pretty popular.
Mod
Beach to just lay out in the sun, go surfing, or go swimming with some friends or family.
