To make her feel better, John B decided to take Isis to the beach. They picked up Kiara on their way. The latter asked if she'd have to take her surfboard. Even if Isis couldn't, she said she would love to watch them surf. Though John B didn't agree at first, she succeeded to convince him. She meant it, she'd really love to watch them. She knew it could soothe her.

She sat on the beach. Grains of sand were slipping through her fingers. She loved everything about the sea, especially in days like this. The reflection of the sun on the water; the waves, from the greatest to the smallest; and the soft pleasant wind.

Suddenly, a cap landed on her head. She looked up, wondering how it got there. She recognized Pope and JJ's half-naked bodies. The cap was from the first one.

"Finally, you're here!" she exclaimed, straightened up. "We were waiting for you."

"You don't come with us?" asked Pope, pointing his board.

"I can't surf," she winced. "I've never learned to."

"Oh, no, that's a shame," complained JJ sitting next to her.

"No! I'll be watching you from there. Go ride these huge ass waves."

He looked at her, unsure.

"I mean it," she insisted.

He kissed her cheek.

"I'll come get you later," he said standing up.

"As you wish," she replied with a smile. "All right, surf's up, boys! Impress me."

"Count on us," said Pope.

They ran to John B and Kie, settled on their boards.

"Hey, save some for us!" yelled JJ.

Isis chuckled.

They surfed many waves under her bright gaze. She kept a wide smile on her face all along. She watched each of them, but her eyes were obviously more focused on JJ. She couldn't help herself. And she felt so proud. This gifted, soft, and handsome blonde surfer boy belonged with her.

'Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the luckiest of them all?'

100 percent Isis Grubbs.

She won. She got the best boyfriend among all.

Yeah, obvisously they weren't together yet. Officially, at least. But as she saw him riding the wave with such fascinating look, she just thought he was boyfriend material. Hands down.

She was proud, and happy. To be the one he held in his arms. The one he always cared about. The one he gave his ring and hoodies to. The one he would protect dirt-cheap. The one he wanted to kiss.

Her heart was racing just thinking about it.

She definitly won. And she didn't even have to play.

Speaking of the devil, he just got out of the water. He walked to her and held out his hand.

"Come on, get up."

"For what?"

"I'll teach you."

"You don't have to."

"But I want to. Come on!"

She smiled.

(To be the one he wanted to teach how to surf.)

She grabbed his hand and stood up. She took off her T-shirt, leaving it in the sand. JJ led her to the sea under the others' knowing looks.

Isis sat on the board while JJ was standing next to her, water up to his waist.

He explained some basic moves. Isis wanted to try, but her legs were shaking everytime she rose on her feet.

"Forget it, JJ, I'll never be able to make it tonight," she finally said.

He sighed.

"It sucks."

"It's not a big deal, honey, we'll try again later if you want."

"No, you just spent an hour watching us-"

"And that was fine!" she assured.

"-- I wanted you to give it a try! A successful one."

"I swear, it's okay," she said softly. "I don't mind."

He looked more disappointed than she did, and it seemed like all the love she felt towards him intensifying.

He seemed to think for a second, then looked up at her.

"You know what?" he finally asked. "You'll just come with me."

"What? How?"

"Wait. Hold on."

He got behind her on the board.

"We're doing that together," he said. "Just, lie forward and hang on."

She complied.

"Are you sure about this?" she asked though as he lied down on her legs.

"100 percent."

He swam right to a wave coming and managed to ride it.

"Watch out!" he yelled as he got on his feet. "Take my hand!"

Isis got on her knees and did what he asked. They started to go faster, and she catched hold of his whole arm. She widened her eyes. She could feel ocean drops on her face, but she kept them open. JJ was leaning over her back, his protective arm keeping her pressed against his legs.

Isis let out a genuine laugh. It was the first time she had experienced this, and she already knew it was one of the best moments in her life. Because of the thrill, and mostly because of the fact that she was with JJ.

They did it again and again, until they all decided it was time to go home.

After a quick dinner, they settled outside to sleep under the stars. Isis lay down next to JJ, who immediatly wrapped his arms around her.

"You really think it's out there?" asked Pope to John B. "Like, no bullshit?"

"My father thought it was," he answered in a sleepy voice.

"But do you?"

"After sharing his voice on that tape... I think I do."

"Only one way to find out," said Pope after a second, giving John B a high five.

"And it's by sleeping, now, kids," mumbled Isis, her head resting on JJ's shoulder.

They remained quiet for a while.

"Look, we're gonna find it, you know?" said then Kie. "Even JJ believes."

"Oh my God, JJ, do you really believe?" teased John B.

"Totally! Wait. Are we talking about 4 mil?"

"400 mil," rectified Kie and Pope.

"Wow" JJ replied. "I'm gonna dream about shipwrecks. Good night, Bird!"

"Good night, birt shit," John B snapped back.

JJ raised his middle finger at him. Isis let out a giggle. He hugged her tighter, settling in a more comfortable way to sleep. She could breathe his smell, and his arms kept her warm. She still had the picture of their wave rides in her mind.

She was feeling good.
