This is a story a friend of mine wrote, I thought I would share it with you because I thought it was good so tell us what you think.
All in all it was shaping up to be the most boring summer, having to spend it at Auntie Sue’s. Nothing to do except: hang out by the beach alone? Check. Miss all my friends back in Melbourne? Check. Discover lots of hot skater boys, jumping gutters and generally just looking cool…um check!
Kimmy pushed her long, brown hair behind her ear and did a quick mental check.
Shorts: Sass and Bide. Shoes: Cons dirty but ok.
Hair: semi fabulous. Maybe this weekend wouldn’t be so boring after all…
When her well-intentioned dad lent her his camera for some stupid school assignment, she was sure he had this in mind, I mean seriously he wouldn’t just want her to take some random pictures of stupid animal would he? Looking carefully through the lens, she started snapping away, trying to catch some of the boys more jackass-inspired airborne activity until…
“Hey did you ask for our permission to take those photos?”
Standing over her was a tall mess of dark curly hair, big brown eyes and a hard stare, and looking pretty sexy with his dickies shirt and old skool shorts.
Suddenly the usually quick, loud and happy Kimmy couldn’t even get her words right.
“Um no… I was just…”
“Look if you’re from the council and this is about that whole public space thing, I thought we made it clear that…”
“I’m not from the council. I’m from Melbourne. I’m just… taking pictures.”
“Why?”
“Because… you guys look cool and…”
Kimmy shoved the camera back in her bag, embarrassed. ‘Look cool what am I, 13 years old?’ she thought to herself.
“Oh” brown eyes still staring, grinning. “Well I guess we are pretty cool. My name is Aaron” “Kimmy” she took his outstretched hand and shook it firmly. He winked at her playfully. Oh-Kay, definitely a major hottie.
“Nice camera.”
“Thanks I don’t usually do the whole stalker thing.”
“Oh really,” he replied, looking at her up and down. “What do you usually take photos of?” “People doing stuff,” she shrugged. “Friends, bands” “really? I play in a band. Were not very good, like, we haven’t really played that much and I can’t really sing. I suck to tell you the truth, but you know, im learning, or trying to…wow that sounded pretty stupid didn’t it.”
“Yeah kind of”Kimmy replied, smiling, he smiled back. “Were playing a gig tonight if you wanna come.” “Yeah I’d love to! I mean, yeah, maybe. That might be cool…”
“Cool.”
Aaron plonked himself down next to her and took her hand, writing an address down on her palm. His hair hung down in his eyes, and up close she could see the little goatee that he had obviously tried to grow, but just couldn’t get it right…
“Maybe see you there then. Bye Kimmy.”
Aaron grabbed his deck and skated off to his mates. Suddenly this little beach town had gotten a whole lot more interesting.
After 3 hours of getting ready, she was ready to rock. When she arrived, there were so many hot blondes with big boos, and mini shorts sipping diet cokes as if they were going to be on a TV commercial. As she turned to look for Aaron a snobby girl pushed past Kimmy rudely managing to spill half her coke down Kimmy no longer white top. “Oops sorry, I didn’t see you there.”
‘Great,’ thought Kimmy, trying to wipe up that disgusting mess. ‘Well its lucky I haven’t seen…’ and there he was. Now if she thought he was hot before, seeing him up onstage, holding his black guitar awww you couldn’t explain it in words. The crowd cheered loudly as Aaron was waving someone to come up on stage with him. “Yes I’m talking to you Kimmy baby.” Kimmy ran up there in joy. The crowd went wild as Kimmy was moshing up on stage while Aaron was singing and playing his heart out. Then Aaron just grabbed her and gave her the pash of a life time…
