n San Diego, California, where there are lots of sandy shores, the waves come in high and very fast. Only expert surfers can handle them. When you walk on the sand it feels like cotton balls on your feet. Any time you stick your nose in the air the smell of saltwater smacks your face.
My name is Cidney and I live in California with my dad, mom, and my sister Asia. I am 15 years old, but in seven days I will be 16. My best friends name is Dasha and she is already 16. Both Dasha and I love surfing that I like, our major hobby! I went over to Dasha's house to see if she if she could go surfing. Her mom answered the door. "Is Dasha Home?" I asked. As luck would have it, she wasn't. I knew it wasn't safe to go surfing alone, but iI needed to catch a wave. So, aginst my better judgement, I decided to go surfing anyway.
I went down to the beach where I like to the beach where I like to surf. I saw my sister hangin' with her friends.
I wave and ," Hi Asia!"
"Get lost, would ya?" she replies.When she is around her friends, i might as well be dead. I wish that things were better between us, like when we were young. We were so close and I miss that so much. Somtimes i feel as though we are not even related.
I try not to thing too much of my sister and headed straight for the beach. The waves were crashing together as if they were very angry. "Mabey this isn't such a good idea," I say to myself. I was scared as I got on my surfboard, but I continued to paddle out. Then out of no where a tsunami hit. I was trying to stay above water so I could scream for help, but the force was sucking me in. Suddenly, my surfboard hit me in the back of my head. I was knocked unconsious.
All of a sudden, I saw a bright light and my life began flashing before my eyes. Then, everything stopped and i was on the beach with my sister. We were building a sand castle together, laghing and having a wonderful time. "I love you asia,"I said.
"I will always be there for you,"she cried.The next voice I heard was that of my mom's. It had been three weeks since the accident and I have been in a coma until this day. "what happened?"I asked her.
"You were in a accident," my mom explained, "but everything is going to be fine now."Then, Asia came into the room. She sat down besides me and kissed my cheek.
" I'm so glade that you're okay. i don't know what i would do I f something happened to you,"she said.
"Did you like the sand castle we built on the beach together?"I asked. She looked pzzeled. I knew at that moment she had saved me.
