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...

Ruru was the first to wake up the next day. The weather was perfect, so he thought he could go surfing, at least for a short while, before breakfast and school.

Jeanette and Lilinoe also woke up early and decided to finish their opportunity books in bed.

But poor Ruru was suddenly called back to shore by an angry policeman. He had forgotten that going out before dawn still counted as breaking the curfew.

The police officer awoke Matiu, who angrily scolded Ruru.
"How could you do that? You know you aren't allowed to go out at night."

"I'm truly sorry! I couldn't wait to go to the beach and surf, because we missed yesterday because of the rain. The sun was already rising and I forgot that it was, technically, still night! I won't do it again."

Matiu accepted the apology, to Ruru's relief, and told him not to worry - today was going to be sunny and they would go surfing again.

After the kids went to school, Matiu took a taxi boat to a remote part of the island and spent the day fishing.

The kids went on a field trip to the Sunlit Tides Police Station. This was a little awkward for Ruru, because he met the officer who took him home that morning again. But the trip was very useful: they gained a level in Athletic skill each.

Students can make mistakes, as Ruru did, but even teachers do embarrassing things sometimes!
When everyone returned home, Matiu wished to write a love letter to Noelani. He was so absorbed in his emotions, he sat down to write the letter in the midst of his students who were writing their homework. Most of them didn't notice what he was doing, but William, who finished his homework first, might have noticed something. He is looking away so pointedly!

The three students who finished their homework first - William, Jeanette and Ruru - went to the beach with Matiu to have today's surfing lesson.

They surfed until after sunset - since Matiu was on the beach, watching over them, the curfew wasn't being broken.

It was Mindy Hamada's turn to prepare supper that day. They had a guest for supper: Matiu invited Noelani over.

The students went to sleep, and Noelani and Matiu stayed downstairs, watching the Fishing Channel.

The two got a bit romantic on the sofa. Matiu didn't invite her to stay over, although he wanted to - that would be highly improper for a teacher at boarding school to do - so they said good night after a while.
