ArtemisFowl Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Jecht watched as they both swam away on their boards. One bent on getting a girl, the other wanting to get to land. Jecht decided he might aswell go ashore and open shop. He began swimming towards land, hoping today nobody wanted to get surf lessons. He didn't need any money at this point. Once he got ashore he began walking across the hot sand. It was amazing how fast it could heat up but he was mostly used to it. Jecht worked in a shack that was near the entrance to the beach. He had posters up around the place. It was $30 an hour. "Maybe today will be trainquil." He muttered to himself as he got behind the counter, waiting for someone to come up.

Fader Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Alex moaned "ugh" "the only shop open that pays good has to teach surf lessons!" I thought i had a job coming up. Alex took a deep breath and pulled out a notepad and a black pen. in it he wrote "Met a boy around my age named tommy." "Tommy likes the land...a lot" "saw a guy on a board in the middle of the ocean" "Saw the only chick on the beach who apparently is interested in the guy who was on the board." "still looking for a job" "Dont surf" under it he wrote goals1.Get a job2.Get a girl3.Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. SHINee <3 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Britney got up, Irritated that the boy had just ignored her completely. "Well if he wants to play hard ball then thats alright, I'll just play even better" . Britney said as she got up and immediately ran to her car, She immediately grabbed her phone and called her aunt. From outside the car you could here Britney yelling in spanish to her aunt, Who rudely yelled back at her, It finally ended with Britney saying something happily then running out her car, Straight into Jecht's shack. "Hey whats up, I saw you surfing and i just wanted to know if you could teach me how to surf, I will give you one-hundred dollars, And you teach me for just two days, Sound like a deal" . Britney said, Her accent was in full swing now and it sounded like she was trying to say things in spanish, But they came out english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Alex was secretly looking in apparently jealous of jecht.He tried to be quiet. Alex wasnt used to being jealous, he usually ends up with the girl. Apparently she seemed to like Jecht's surfing. Alex pulled out a 50 of his Thunderbird car that has apparently been through better days. Hey jecht can u give me a lesson real quick winking at him as jecht rolled his eyes.

ArtemisFowl Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Jecht heard someone yelling from her car and his head snapped to the direction it was coming from. Can't people learn how to speak at a normal volume? Jecht thought as he watched as she came up to his shack. And there goes my peaceful day. He thought as the girl was running towards him. As she talked to him, Jecht could tell she was spanish. Where from, he didn't know. "Deal." He said not really knowing if that was a good idea or not, he didn't do the math. Jecht went into the back of the shack and got his surfboard and a spare one. "Here." He said handing her the board and tossed her a bar of board wax. Then the same guy from before came up to him. How does he know my name? He thought and then replied, "Obivously I'm with somebody." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Alex feeling completely ignored began to think. Fine then i will teach myself. Alex drags his board to the ocean waiting for a wave. he apparently didnt know a good from a bad. he was a city boy. Eventually he saw one that was ok. He tried to keep balanced on the bored. He got up on his feet shaking a bit while chanting "im doing it" the wave hit and threw him a bit. He closed his eyes hoping he was aalive let alone standing.He opened his eyes and jumped and yelled "yeah i did it!" he landed in the water where waves splashed on him. He checked to see if anyone saw his first wave. Of course nobody payed attention. So Alex walked back over to Jecht and he askedwhat the secret to surfing and not closing your eyes waiting for it to end was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. SHINee <3 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 "Well thank you and here is the money" . Britney said as she handed Jecht a huge wad of cash, It was definitely more than two-hundred dollars but Britney didn't care about how much cash she gave to Jecht, All she cared about was getting to spend time with Jecht and that was important to her. "And who knows, Maybe if you do surf really well i might even recommend you to do this little surfing competition in South America, Its were all the big surfers go and they sponsor different companies, Whoever wins gets like two hundred thousand dollars to split evenly among their sponsor and themselves" . Britney said as she took the board and the Board Wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Alex came up and added a 50 to the wad and added me too. Alex thought about winning that surfing thing in south america. He thought about then being able to get the girl. Alex lost focus. Job first....then get anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtemisFowl Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Jecht looked at the money and then at the girl with an eyebrow raised but just put the money in the bottom of the bag. Another rich girl. He thought. There had been rich people that traveled here because Florida was famous for its beaches. She said something about a competetion. "Oh really?" He said jumping over the counter with his surfboard and wax. "I'm Jecht by the way." He said walking walking with the girl to behind the shop. Where he dragged out two stands, each one to hold a surfboard and Jecht set down his on one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. SHINee <3 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Britney put her surfboard on the stand and looked at Jecht with a smile, But the smile faded into a frown when she turned to look at Alex. "Excuse me but im about to be in the middle of a surfing lesson, And im not trying to be rude or anything to you but i really need this time to learn how to surf before i go back to Argentina because I need to shoe everyone that i can surf and that im not a total surfer wannabe that has too much money to her name" . Britney said, Her voice sounded pleading and desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Alex felt the feeling inside him his stomach was in his throat his fist clenched his face turned red. He didnt know to step off or to yell back.He tried to speak but all that came out was byuck. Alex facepalmed "ugh" "stupid stupid"...he worked up the nerve to talk...I paid for my lesson and i plan on learning how to surf. His temper flew up he was about to yell but decided not to he walked towards the beach and filled his hands with sand he put his hand in the water and watched it leave his hands. He picked up his board and stood up trembling a bit. He remembered skateboarding with his friends.He saw a wave and without hesitation,instruction, or coordination he went to it the wave was large. Alex stood up high hoping to make it. A loud splash came and a snap in the wave. Two halves of the board on top of the water. Alex nowhere in sight wen a weird inhumane chirping came. There was Alex grabbing on to the dolphin who wouldve agreed that alex should stick to land. Alex bought a new board and apologized to jecht for the trouble and to the girl who now saw him as a total idiot and loser. He put his bag in his car and drove with his last words shouted on the beach were "I will just drive and never stop" He started up his black thunderbird and drove.

ArtemisFowl Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Jecht thought the guy was dead when he called the girl a "psycho girl" but was proven wrong. Yeah, its a rich girl. He thought as he watch the girl pleaded with the guy as he continued to pester them. So she's from Argentina. He thought and then the guy went for a wave and was brought back amazingly by a dolphin. Jecht watched as he drived away saying he wouldn't ever stop. He didn't know what to say, he just looked at the girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fader Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 As the sand flew from the tires Alex started to mutter under his breath and facepalm himself. he Decided to let himself go and pretty much die he thought again and again but he realized it was for the best. The girl is happy with jecht and jecht dont have to put up with me he thought over and over then he remembered tommy. He drove and saw the sign reading "Now leaving Florida" He was blown away at the time that passed until he saw flashing lights he slowed down and pulled over the officer asked for a liscence. Alex pulled out his liscense muttering. The trooper asked "Do you know how fast you were going?" Alex replied quickly this car only goes to 60??? The cop grinned "try 95" Alex was given a ticket but begn to drive either hoping to crash or starve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Platypus Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Tommy shoved in next to Jecht after the show of surfing was over, hoping to have a conversation that made more sense than talking to Alex or the rich South American chick. "Hey, Jecht. So, you live here for a while? I figured. I'm not cut out for water, really, I'm a land person through and through." Tommy began to continue his chatter, speaking at about 10 words per second.-----Morgan ended up on the shores of the beach, Willis clutched in her arms. She saw Jecht, who she knew from coming down to the beach a lot every summer, with some kids who was yapping at the speed of sound. "Better go save him."

Fader Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Alex was driving some more now thinking about Tommy. Alex Tryed not to feel sorry for himself. He threw in a CD and began to sing.Only was it then he saw a Jeep flying at him full speed.Alex swerved slinging himself into the guardrail. Then he realized he cant give up on the beach and that whatever he plans on doing he will prevail. Ignoring the fact he just slammed into the guardrail.

Mighty Platypus Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 When Morgan reached Jecht and the much smaller kid, she realized that the kid was still talking, and Jecht seemed to be trying not to slap him. Morgan sighed. Tourist season was worse than ever this year, with more tourists that were significantly more annoying. Morgan grabbed the boy, who was still smaller than her, in her free arm and began to drag him off. "C'mon, kid, time to move it on. Jecht, you can thank me later."

CristalFlames Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Cristal was working at the rental shop. There was no customers around so she read a book quietly to herself. She kept quiet and didn't bother anyone else on the beach. She sat on the stool listening to the sounds around her while she was reading. Cristal sighed wishing she was on break but it wasn't until later. She wanted a job on the beach and she got one. One where the boss told her how to do everything and left. He never came back to check on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterium Tremendum Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Vallen arrived at the concession stand late. It was the first day of one of the best seasons of the summer; tourist season, and Vallen already started it off on a sour note. He ran through the hallway, grabbed his uniform, and reported in. His boss was not happy, the customers had already started lining up and the stand was having a hard time keeping up with the orders. After getting a sorrowful speech from Mr. Stevenson, it was settled that his punishment would be latrine duty after lunch. Vallen mentally groaned, he hated latrine duty more than anything but he had no choice. As soon as the boss was sure that Vallen understood the "severity of his actions and realized that he could be immediately fired if he was late 1 more time." Vallen left the office and marched sullenly to the freezer to grab some hamburger patties for the chef and (as much as he didn't feel like it) smiled as he started taking orders from customers from behind the register.

Navras Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Samuel came walking down the sidewalk, wearing his signature Fedora hat, a black overcoat with the sleves rolled up, a red and blue tropical T-shirt under that, a pair of white jeans, and no shoes. Though teh concrete was blisteringly hot, he didn't mind. His feet had been through worse. He had just come from a small shop that he loved that selled The best coffe in town. He was holing a cup in his hands as he walked down the street now, singin to himself and swinging his head, the small bits of gold he had on the end of his dread-locks making a delightful sound to his ears."Down in the Treme, It's me and my baby, We're all going crazy, We're jumpin' and havin' fun!" He sang out for whoever to hear.Samuel looked up and saw a familiar face: Tommy, young tommy. A cool cat, to keep it short, but still young. Samuel turned directions and headed down to the beach towards tommy, still singing to himself or whoever."Trumpet Bells a ringin', Bass drum a swingin', as the trombone groans, and the big horn moans, there's a saxaphone!"He walked up behind Tommy and clapped him on the shoulder."Well well well, if it isn't Tommy the cat! What up been up to Tommy?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Platypus Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Tommy looked up at the face of Samuel-well, as well as he could look while being dragged through the sand by some psycho chick with a Westie-, a good friend of his back in New Orleans, before he moved, apparently to here. "Hey, Samuel, what's shaking? Haven't seen you in a while. Either way, what am I up to? Well, as you can tell, I'm being dragged though the sand by this chick and her lapdog." Tommy was brought into a rock for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navras Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 "I can see that," Samuel said, folwoing tommy as he was dragged away. "And I must say my cool cat, not a cool way to travel, especially someone of your style!" he said, lifting up his arms to show his point."As for where I been, well, Marte Gras is just around the corner little man, gotta prepare for that and all. But riddle me this cat-man, why, oh why, are you being dragged in the first place?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Platypus Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Tommy shook his head in confusion. "I don't have a clue, Samuel. I was talking to some guy over their on the beach-"he gestured towards Jecht-"and this chick comes down with a Westie and starts pulling me by the arm to who knows where. Yeah, Mardi Gras is always around the corner, isn't it?" Morgan sighed. First this annoying little weasel, and now a guy who talks like he's from a bad 60's movie? Great summer, isn't it?

Navras Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Samuel turned around and walked backwards eyeing Jecht, though not sure what to make of him."I see..." Samuel said, raising up his cup of coffe and taking a sip of it. He turned back around and said, "So Tommy, who is this person draggin' you around again? She don't look like she belong here in the Treme, I know I aint seen her before. Wait, she ain't no tourist is she? Tommy! Why you bein' puled around by a tourist?" Samuel asked, joggin to catch up to the two of them since he had been falling behind from walking backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CristalFlames Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Cristal put her book down when she heard talking. She sighed. she knew that there wasn't going to be much business today like always. She wish she could go play on the beach. Her boss walked up out of nowhere. "Cristal!" She stood straight up. "Yes sir?!" Her boss was like a drill sargent. She didn't move. He didn't say her last name so people wouldn't think there was a fire."You're not getting me any customers. You need to find a way to attact them." He told her. He was really muscular and nearly 7 foot tall. Cristal was so tiny compared to him. "Here put this on." He handed her a small two piece bathing suit. "But sir..." "No buts!" He walked off without another word. Cristal sighed and went to the back to go change. She came back out feeling uncomfortable.
