The sky was unusually cloudless that morning and the slight breeze the wind was casting felt more refreshing than chilling on their salt covered bodies. Bodie and Ziggy were on their way back from a morning swim off the coast of Boca Raton, their bodies aching slightly from the rough waves they had attempted to bodysurf. Bodie lived about three blocks up from the beach in a cozy little house with his mother. Summer break had started roughly three weeks ago and the last day of school was the same day as ZIggy’s 16h birthday. There was an extra reason to celebrate that year.
“Thank God the ocean floor is all sand, otherwise I think I would have bashed my head on some coral on that last one.”, Bodie said massaging his neck.
“Maybe if you were a better bodysurfer you wouldn’t have that problem.”, Ziggy quipped back. Bodie gave him a friendly jab with his fist.
“Well, you saw those girls that were watching, I had to do something impressive.”, laughed Bodie.
