Not+So+Average

Her freshly painted pink toes burned as they hit the sand, and her bleach blonde hair fell perfectly at her shoulders. As she released her locks from the grasp of the ponytail. She looked perfect as she ran towards the waves, almost as turquoise as her bright eyes. The only thing not perfect about her was that she had a huge brand new cut on her leg.

She plunged head first into the ocean, and her bronzed legs disappeared into the ocean. She was totally out of my league I thought, as I looked at her through the bushes near were she was sitting. I was just Charlie an average boy from Minnesota. I have chocolate brown hair, and navy blue eyes, nothing special. I knew a girl like her would never date an “average ``like me.

A huge wave crashed right where she was swimming, and she got sucked into the ocean! Was she going to be all right, I thought? I could barely see her anymore; she was soo far out into the ocean. Then I saw a fin come out of the water, and five other fins with it. She was going to be attacked by the sharks. I bet they could smell the blood from her cut.

My instincts kicked in and I ran towards the ocean. I franticly searched for her in the ocean! Then finally I saw her, and the sharks were circling around her about to attack! Quickly I swam into the shark circle and grabbed her. The she looked up at me, and I felt my insides flip! In my arms, we swam away from the sharks.

Finally we reached shore, and Svea was gasping for breath. “Thank you, your are my hero” she exclaimed. “No problem”, I got worried when I saw those sharks swimming around you. ``I exclaimed. “You were looking at me in the ocean? ``she asked kind of jokingly. “Maybe.” I said “I’m Svea, do you live here.” she asked “Oh, I’m Charlie, no I live in Minnesota”, I explained. “Neither do I, I live in California “, she said. “This is going to sound kind of weird but, would you like to go on a date with me?” I asked. “Totally, you seem nice. `` she said. “Kay, I will meet you here at sunset tonight.” I said. “Sounds great!” she said, and she gave me a peck on the cheek.
