Fynn Mako - District 4
The first signs of activity were the sounds of whitecaps crashing against the shore followed by the calls and splashes of seagulls as they dove into the ocean for their morning catch. These sounds preceded the gradual fade of darkness and appearance of light in Fynn’s vision. He rubbed his eyes to clear up the rest as he began to fully come into consciousness. He awoke in the damp sand left by the early morning tide and sat up to take in the beauty around him. The clear sunny sky hanging above the vast blue ocean combined with the warm spring air and cool sea breeze brought instant peace and calm to Fynn. This truly was his home.
Fynn looked about, trying to gather himself and come out of the confusion of a deep sleep. He must have fallen asleep on the beach after a long evening of fishing. He noticed the empty basket and fishing pole beside him and couldn’t help but envy the seagulls as they continued to feast. Why do they have it so easy? Fynn had fished for nearly four hours last night and had come up with a few measly pogeys that were too tiny to make even a bite of food. Depressed by his failure and stiff from not moving for so long, Fynn stood up and stretched, then turned to walk a ways down the beach to loosen and wake up.
That was when he noticed someone standing knee-deep in the surf, looking out over the ocean. She looked slightly younger than Fynn but fairly tall for her apparent age. Her voluptuous brown hair reached her shoulders which Fynn noticed were very toned for a girl, but not in any way masculine. She had long legs and a good feminine build, and Fynn decided she was an overall attractive girl. However, it was the profile view of her face that really got his attention. He had seen this girl before.
It was several weeks before in the late winter/early spring, and Fynn was in his smaller boat, only about fifty or so yards offshore. He was fishing, and as he continued to cast out and heave in nets, he began to hear sudden giggles and other noises. He stopped for a moment to look out back to the shore. He noticed a group of teenage girls, slightly younger or close to the same age as him, staring at him and laughing. Fynn had experienced with this kind of thing many times before. He knew most girls found him attractive and was used to this attention, but he rarely shared the feeling back toward the girl. Not amused by their immaturity and slightly annoyed, he was about to turn back to his work when he noticed the brown hair, toned arms, and long legs. However, it wasn’t her looks that made the girl intriguing, it was her demeanor. Unlike the other girls, she wasn’t obsessing over and drooling at Fynn. She seemed uninterested, possibly daydreaming. This amused Fynn. It was nice to find someone who was mature and seemed interested in more important things than just guys or shopping or gossiping.
It was this same girl that Fynn looked at now. She hadn’t even noticed him yet. He began to walk closer, wondering how long it would take until she heard him, if in fact she did at all.
