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...

Cyril the paparazzo is still lurking around the boarding school every night, hoping something story-worthy would happen.

Rascal woke up and went outside, but he is just a puppy, unable to do anything unfriendly to the unwanted guest. He just happily ran around (which is, I think, what most real-life Labradors would do!)

Some of the students woke up very early, and each one took a skill book to read. Rainy season will start soon, so it's best to do the studying while it's still dark, so that every precious moment of daylight can be saved for the beach!

The paparazzo is immensely irritated by this.
"Sitting quietly and reading, really? These are the most boring celebrities I've ever stalked!"

William bonded with Rascal, and this brought out his family-oriented trait. He was reminded of how he couldn't wait to become an adult and have a baby!

His good friend Mindy wanted to talk to him before school.
"Hey, Will, I... I'm developing these feelings for Ruru, and I think that he feels the same. I wanted to check if that was okay with you. I mean, the tow of us were never close in that way, but still..."

William assured her it was okay. Although Mindy and he had spent a lot of time together back in Isla Paradiso, there was never a spark between them. He sincerely wished her all the best with Ruru.

Still, he was left with a little pang of self-doubt.
Jeanette and Valiant had been getting pretty close lately, now the same was happening with Mindy and Ruru, and Lilinoe found she had a crush on their schoolmate Luna Wahine. William was now the only one of the six who had never felt this spark with anyone.
Was there something wrong with him?

There was no need to cook that day: there was plenty of food and drinks left over from yesterday's party.

When the teens left on the school bus, Matiu went scuba-diving and caught a tuna.

A pretty girl called Oliana Wahine came home after school with the students. William went to introduce himself to her.

Yes! Instant hearts! There was nothing wrong with William after all.

I loved the face he made afterwards. He just looked so relieved, while Oliana was very cool and poised. This must happen to her a lot!

William, Jeanette and Ruru were the first to finish their homework, so Matiu took them to the beach to have that day's surfing lesson. (He also took Rascal, because he was so eager to go with them!)
This would be the first time they used their new surfboards; Matiu warned them to take good care of them and to beware of inquisitive seals. If the surfboards got damaged, they would have to use their own money to buy new ones.

All three were visibly more confident on their surfboards now.

Still, accidents do happen...

Poor William!

But he leaped spectacularly out of the water, his surfboard intact. This wasn't a seal attack, just a temporary loss of balance!

Something similar happened to Ruru and Jeanette, and they both regained control of their surfboards by leaping out of the sea and landing on them, each in their own style:

By that time Mindy and Lilinoe had finished their homework and were ready to start surfing, so the first three joined Matiu and Rascal in watching.

The lesson lasted until after sunset.

It was Friday night, so there was no reason to go to bed early. They ended the day at The Hot Spot which was, fittingly, the hotspot for the evening. William was glad to find they had a drum kit he could use for practice.
