ummer is just around the corner, and it's my favorite time of year - spending time in the shops finding new swim wear only this time I didn't have to drag Falcon along. Mom was content knowing someone else was going with me. It's very disheartening knowing she doesn't trust me, and that she wants Falcon to spy on me. But I got out of his way by telling her I had a friend going with me. I think of her more than a friend, yet I can't tell mom or dad because they'll only turn her away. I've spent a lot of time at the beach with her. We've surfed together. We've jumped off the cliffs together - my back hasn't been the same since, but I had a blast and that masks the pain until jolts of electricity shoot down my legs. A large grin twists across my face as I move through the shop looking for the perfect design. "What do you think of these shorts?" I ask quietly hoping they're not too ugly. Normally I try to find a theme. It may be strange, but matching my shorts with the design on the top of my surfboard makes me happy. Last year, I got the surfboard first which made shopping so much easier. I just figured I would try something different. And maybe Mina can find some swimwear she enjoys. The day seems to be going perfect, but something seems off. Something fills the air, and it's nothing I've ever felt before. Every hair stands on end as screams of citizens buzz through my ears. I turn towards Mina before shifting my gaze out the window. I don't even know how to describe the sight lingering in front of me. A giant wave pushes towards the district. Taller than any wave I've ever seen before.
"Mina! We have to move!" I shout at the top of my lungs trying to catch her attention hoping she hears me. "Mina! Run!" But I know it's too late because the world comes crashing down, and there's nothing I can do to stop it.
