The Sunlit Tides Surfing Academy
This is a story in progress which will be, mostly, about my teen legacy heir, William, living the most perfect life I can imagine - attending a surfing boarding school in Sunlit Tides. I felt the need...

Soon after his first experience with surfing, a notice on the school notice board caught William's eye.

"Scholarships offered for the Sunlit Tides Surfing Academy."

William told his friends Mindy Hamada and Valiant Vanderburg - son of Ella and Sebastian - about the notice.

"Apparently, a famous surfer from Sunlit Tides - who is also the teacher at the Academy - is coming here to Isla Paradiso! To get the scholarship we need the highest marks in school, a statement of permission from our parents, and we need to pass an athletics test. Are you interested?"

His friends were both, interested very much so. They were all A students, so they decided to work on their athletic skill.

Mindy also told Jeanette Collins, a friend of hers who was very good at athletics, about the scholarship. Jeanette decided to train for the test too.

The day of the athletics test came. The teens' parents and other curious townies gathered at the gym to watch.

Matiu Henare, the surfer from Sunlit Tides, was a very friendly person and, as Mindy whispered to Jeanette, very good looking!

He explained to the teens that they will be tested in cardio exercises, strength exercises and swimming.

Even more enthusiastic now that they knew they liked their teacher, the four friends did their best to prove themselves.

William lifted as much weight as he could. "It's no big deal if I have sore muscles tomorrow", he thought.

"Or maybe sore muscles today..."

Jeanette dived into the pool a little ungracefully but, luckily, the method of entering the pool wasn't part of the test.

And time was up! ... and Matiu was happy to inform them they had all passed the test.

A few days later, the four teens were saying goodbye to their parents at Isla Paradiso international airport.

"Take care of yourself, Will. And I know that the sea and music are what you like most, but please don't neglect regular school!"
"I won't. I promise."

Valiant Vanderburg was a little bit nervous - he'd never traveled by airplane before, and his loner trait made him uneasy in such a crowded place.
"Travelling is a wonderful thing. You won't regret it!" his mother Ella assured him.

Soon they were all sitting aboard Paradise Airlines flight #27 to Sunlit Tides.

The airplane took off, and they saw Isla Paradiso from above for the first time.

Minutes later, the islands became just specks of green on the ocean.

And then there was no more green, and they were flying west over the Simcific ocean.
