Chelsea explains the scar, how she saved her sister from a boat. I'm about to give her some words of sympathy, when we are joined by a boy who is probably older than me and younger than Chelsea. About sixteen, probably. "Hi... lovely day isn't it... going in for a swim?" he asks, throwing off his shirt. Personally, I don't consider myself the romantic type, and don't have the same dirty thoughts Chelsea could possibly be having right now. Okay, I do stare a little, but make sure to minimize it.

He runs in to the water and introduces himself as Devlin. "Celia Ostberg," I say. Chelsea introduces herself, too. "Do you live near the beach?" he asks. "Actually, yeah. I live about two blocks that way. If that house wasn't there, you'd see mine," Chelsea replies. "What about you two? Do you live anywhere close?" I nod. In fact, my house is the one Chelsea pointed out, but I don't feel like sharing that right now.

"I live exactly two minutes away from you. How old are you?"Devlin asks. Then he gets hit by some other guy's board. I gawk at the scene.

"Oh... don't worry. I'm Devlin, what's your name?"

"Nick. I swear I didn't aim for you. Just didn't see you before plus I have no idea how to change direction on this thing. First time today. I'll open my eyes from now on so I don't hit your friend in the head anymore. Nice meeting you two. I'll see you around."

Another girl enters the scene now. "Hey..." she addresses Nick, awkwardly. "So, anyway, I just wanted to tell you...that... I totally don’t know who you are. I mean, I feel like I should introduce myself. My name is Asella." I look back and forth between the two of them, wondering if they alerady sort of know each other already, in that awkward not-knowing-eachother's-names way. Or maybe Asella is just one of those people who judges people by their cover.

"Did you initially want to come over here?" he asks her. "Sit down, you're taking my sun. I'm Nick. Wow, did you see that? That's me in three days. Ever tried surfing?"

I look out at the sea, following his gaze to find out what he saw. It turns out to be some guy surfing in practically perfect form. Probably showing off for Chelsea or Asella. Not me. I don't flirt, which in some ways makes me more comfortable around guys and in other ways less comfortable. Not that I'm homosexual- I'm just less romantically. . . ugh than other girls. Luckily both Nick and Devlin have their own girl toy right now, or at least it seems. Devlin with Chelsea and Nick with Asella.

((Phew. . . that was a lot of catch up. Sorry it's been so long. ))

She's right. It would be hard to do it in three days but I'm confident that I can do it. My body controll is bang on so I'm sure, once I put my head into it, I'll get the hang of it. While she talks I study the motions of one of the surfers. The man is looking back to where the wave is coming and them as it's about three seconds away from he starts paddling hard on his belly, then rolls his hips to the side, pops up on his feet and balances it out before cutting to the left. When the waves has enough speed he steps further towards the front of the wave and as soon as it looses power dives into the waves head first so his board has no chance to buck him off. I try my best to memorize his moves and mimic them sitting on the sand.

Then I turn back to the beautiful girl next to me. I'm not sure how it always happens but it sure enough does happen a lot that cute girls find their way to me, even when I'm not looking for company. She's got blonde hair with lighter strands, that were bleached by the sun, and admittedly an awesome smile with nice, straight teeth. Her proportions are pretty much perfect although she's a little short. Most definetly a girl I could get attracted to. First impression: A+ except for the uncoordinated walk.

"If you've tried it before, maybe you can teach me a trick or two?" I raise my brows leaving it open what I'm even talking about. She seems to get a little lost in thoughts, obviously very much at ease here on the beach.

Soon a girl joins us. I don't think I recognise her but she might know me, who knows. She doesn't say much so she must know my new friend.

I wipe the dripping water from my face and ask. "Do you come here a lot? I usually sleep around this time of the day because I fish at night but if you're here tomorrow, I'll try to come back even if I fall asleep on the board." I laugh at the thought. That would be really awkward.

"Do you come here a lot? I usually sleep around this time of the day because I fish at night but if you're here tomorrow, I'll try to come back even if I fall asleep on the board.”

Asella finally snaps out of her little reverie when she hears him speak again. She almost thinks that she needs to have him repeat it but after a moment she figures out what he just said. So he fishes then, another unsurprising fact, even if she’s not looking for surprises. Asella takes a minute to look around, trying to see if she recognizes the area as the part of the beach that she does go to frequently. It’s the same sand and the same waves, but she shakes her head, “Not this part of the beach. Normally I am closer to the docks, so.. over that way actually.” She directs her thumb to the left, the direction in which she was originally walking from. Asella’s gaze turned onto the distant harbor. There were a few shops on the land right next to it that she like to go into, so she preferred to stay close whenever she actually went to the beach for fun.

As she turned her attention back to her acquaintance, Asella suddenly noticed another girl with them. Whoa, how long has she been there? I didn’t even notice her. Better say hi somehow. Oh but I’m talking. I’ll just wave. Before continuing on, the girl smiled sheepishly, and gave a small wave to the stranger. Taking a second to give her a quick once over, she can immediately tell that she is quite beautiful, and they both are actually pretty similar. Though, Asella has shorter hair, slightly tanner skin, different body type, and darker eyes.... Okay maybe they are only as comparably similar as two girls from district 4 could be. Either way, she’s sure that this new girl is a wonderful person.

“Tomorrow? I’m sure that I’ll be around here since I pretty much never leave,” she explains. Back to looking at the girl that she didn’t know the name of, Asella wonders if she’s the only one that didn’t know her. Again, she had no idea how old she was so Asella wondered if the girl was actually Nick’s girlfriend. They hadn’t said anything to each other but that could just be because she missed their little “Sup, babe, “ and “hello lover, how you doin.” exchange. Or it could have been just a head nod of, “Hey beautiful, yeah, I am acknowledging your presence, take a seat and bask in my awesome.” But maybe Asella was the only one who interpreted head nod’s like that or thought that couples automatically became super laid back around their beloved other’s so much so that they would say “Sup” or “doin”.

Glancing from between the two of them, Asella found it easier and easier to just see them as a couple. Oh the tragic irony!! She could only wish that one day, she could talk with a new stranger who fell in love at first sight only to be harshly let down by the fact that she already had her own prince charming already. Her toes curled up in the sand while a blush had found it’s way onto her cheeks at the thought of it. Asella really needed to get out more. If she kept this up, then she'd never be able to get rid of her title as a hopeless romantic. She was 17, clearly guys shouldn't be the only thing that she had to occupy her thoughts.

Asella sighed, but didn't say anything so that she could leave it up to them for interpretation. Now she was just drawing small circles in the sand with her index finger, giving up on the whole romance thing for today.

Everything is looking like a wonderful beginning to a wonderful friendship. Who knows, maybe there's even more in the future. You never can tell at a first glance. Everything, life, it's all so unpredictable and that is the true beauty of life and nature. Chelsea smiles warmly at Devlin, who has captured her attention completely, even if it's only been a short time. There is just something about him that makes her smile, even if he is a bit younger than her. Chelsea silently wonders if that's weird, but takes a moment to reassure herself and reply to his question.

"I actually just turned 18. By just turned, I mean, like... four days ago. What about you?" She speaks with a subtle caution, eagerly waiting to find out how old her newest friend is.

As she is entranced on the beauty of the ocean, she takes a moment to watch the waves as they advance towards the shore, pushing gently towards the shore. In the distance, she can see her father's fishing boat, which she was lucky enough not to be on this morning. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices a flicker of movement aside Devlin's head. She gasps loudly, expressing the surprise she felt to the sight.

"Oh my gosh, watch-" And before she can finish her statement, Devlin is whacked in the head with someone's surfing board. She watches in horror for a moment while Devlin recollects himself and the boys exchange formalities. She feels guilty for the accident, telling herself that if she was just one second faster, she could have prevented the accident.

"Are you alright? I'm so sorry, I should have been paying attention. Maybe I could have... I'm sorry."

Her melancholic eyes focus on Devlin's as she frantically tries to apologize, knowing deep inside that it wasn't her fault in the first place. She looks over to Celia and waves, trying to be friendly and show that she hasn't been forgotten.

((OOC: Sorry I was gone so long, I was watching to see where it went and where to reply.))

"Do you come here a lot? I usually sleep around this time of the day because I fish at night but if you're here tomorrow, I'll try to come back even if I fall asleep on the board." Nick says. I usually fish during the day but I have had the night shift a few times before. Personally I prefer daytime to do work though. It comes more naturally that way. Plus, I sometimes manage to get the barest hint of a tan without burn.

Asella responds, “Not this part of the beach. Normally I am closer to the docks, so.. over that way actually... Tomorrow? I’m sure that I’ll be around here since I pretty much never leave,” I arch a brow. So maybe I'm correct and they do know each other. But that would have to be a very awkward relationship since they didn't seem to know one another's names before today.

I feel like there are two little goey conversations going on now and I belong in neither. What makes it even worse is that I'm so much younger than all of the others. Chelsea seems to notice my discomfort and as I gaze in a general direction that includes where she's standing, she offers a bit of what could possibly be a smile and a wave. I wave back. Maybe this will all work out after all.

But I did not come here to socialize, I remind myself. I came here to swim, which is why I now run out to where I can just barely touch my feet to the bottom and jump into a freestyle swim. Who cares what they think? I'm full of excitement as I swim out into the sea like a fish, just like I wanted to do today.
