Amanda++-++Paige,+Patrycja

  It was the first day of school in a new place. No one would talk to me because they thought I was the snotty, new, rich girl. I sat alone at the lunch table. But then a guy came up to me and sat down. He said, "Hey. I'm Jack. You must be new. I've never seen you before. What's your name?" His voice was as dreamy as his eyes. " I'm... uhhh... Amanda. I just moved here from Maine. No one likes me. They think im stuck up just because I'm rich." He smiled. "I don't think you are," he said with an even bigger grin. I looked down and blushed, then back at him. "Thanks." We were quiet for a while. "Do you want to go to the beach later? I'm a lifeguard there." //OMG!! Did he just ask me on a DATE?? Okay, don't scream!!// "Yea! Sure. I'd love to." I tried not to sound so eager. "Okay, great. Meet me there at 4:30 near the snack bar. I'll see you later. Bye! When I got home I saw my mom carrying boxes into he living room and unpacking them. “How was your first day for school Amanda?” “Terrible. No one likes me! The only friend I made was this boy named Jack. He’s really nice but I wish more people would be like him. He asked me to go to the beach with him. Is that okay Mom?” “Sure. Just be back at 6:30 for dinner. And your beach things are in the box upstairs with your summer cloths in them.” My little 9 year old brother Adam ran downstairs. “Oh looks like butt face got a boyfriend!” “Adam, Leave your sister alone.” I ran upstairs and changed in to my pretty, new pink bikini with the white peace signs on it. Then I ran out the door and started walking to the beach. My house was right across from it. When I saw him standing there, my jaw dropped. His hair was a chocolate brown color, and it was gorgeous flowing in the wind. He was tan and had a six-pack. I walked over. "Uhh, hi," I said shyly "Hey." He answered. It felt really awkward. "Let's go for a walk," he said with a smile. "Ok." He took my hand and I blushed. We started walking. "So, is Florida a lot more different than Maine?" He asked. "Um, yeah it's colder there." "Oh." "So, is it hard being a lifeguard?" I asked. "Kind of, but it's rewarding." That day we just walked on the beach and talked for a few hours. We have a lot In common. We like the same music, and the same food and a lot more. The sun was starting to set. I looked at my watch. Oh crap it was 6:30!! "I got to go. See you tomorrow," I said.  The next day, I went up to him. "Hey, I was wondering, do you think I can be a lifeguard? I had training in Maine but then I had to move so I couldn’t take the job there." I asked. "Yeah! That would be great! We could definitely use another life guard. The beach is so big but we don’t have enough lifeguards to keep an eye on the whole beach. Meet me after school on the beach and I’ll talk to my boss." He answered gladly. As I walked to the beach, I saw a girl on her laptop. "Darn it!!" She exclaimed very loudly. "What’s wrong?" I asked. "Oh nothing, I just got D/Ced". She sighed. "Huh?" I said in a confused voice. "Never mind. “She responded. I kept walking until I got to the snack bar to meet Jack. When he saw me he ran up to me. "Great news! You got the job!" He said out of breath. He hugged me. "I’m so happy!"I said very happily.

The next day was my first day on the job. I was relaxing on the lifeguard chair watching the beautiful crystal clear water and the little children playing and people surfing. It was an absolute amazing day. My chair was right next to Jack's chair so we talked a lot. "I'll be right back. I’m going to go get a soda. Do you think you can handle everything while I'm gone?" "Yup." I answered. He walked to the snack bar. Then all of a sudden I heard someone screaming for help. I Jumped off my chair and dove into the water with my surf board. There was a guy stuck at the buoy drowning. His dread locks were tangled around it. I quickly untangled his hair and put him on the surf board and swam back to shore. He wasn’t breathing. People quickly saw what was going on and gathered around me. There was only one thing to do... give him mouth to mouth. So I did. Nothing. I did it again. Nothing. I tried one more time. Then he spit up some water and started coughing. I could tell he was breathing. Everyone cheered for me. "Thank you," he said," You saved my life. How can I ever repay you?" "It's just my job. What's your name?" I asked with a smile. "Um, McFizzy. My dad was drunk when he named me." "Oh, interesting. I'm Amanda." Then I saw Jack run from the snack bar. He said he was proud of me for knowing how to handle everything while he was gone. "Thank you again." He said. The ambulance took McFizzy away to make sure everything was okay with and that he wasn't hurt.

"I'm proud of you, Amanda. You really proved you're worthy of this job," The boss said to me. I felt like i was at the top of the world. "Do you mind working on Friday? It's our busiest day. We really need the extra help." "Yeah, I guess so. Why not? " "Great! See you then. Your shift is over for tonight. But you're welcome to stay at the beach if you want." When I got home my mom, as usual asked me how my day was. " Mom, I saved someones life! It felt so good. I saved someones life and everyone was cheering for me." "Im so proud of you!" she said. Then my lirrle twerp brother ran downstairs and tried to ruin my day.
