Evil Torrent

Chapter Two
We Meet Again

Cye headed out to for the beach the next day for some surfing time. He would have brought

Kento along, but he knew that if he did, Kento would just start bugging him about Hana. It

was best to leave him behind with the other guys. The beach wasn’t as packed as it was

yesterday, but there were still a lot of people. Cye carried his surf board down to the

ocean and to an area where four little kids were playing in the wet sand. The four kids

stopped what they were doing and watched as Cye walked passed. Cye rested his board against

the water and got on, flat on his stomach. He paddled his way out to the deep water and

waited for waves to form. It didn’t take long before Cye was on his feet, riding a wave that

was heading for shore. Cye steered his board away from the collasping wave and back onto the

shore. As Cye stepped onto the damp sand, he heard someone calling his name. He looked to

his right and saw a girl running towards him. His eyes opened wide in shock at to who it

was.

“H-Hana,” he said, still in shock.

“Hey Cye!” she cried, waving her hand in the air. She was wearing a pink bakini and her hair

was up in a ponytail. She stopped in front of him, panting.

“Hi Hana,” Cye said, watching her as she caught her breath.

“I saw you surfing out there. You’re really good.”

“I’m not that good.” Cye blushed and turned his head to the ocean.

“But you are. I’ve been here lots of times and I’ve never seen anyone who takes the waves

like you can.”

Cye chuckled softly and turned to face her. She had a big smile on her face and her eyes

seemed to sparkle just like the ocean does when the sun hits it.

“How about you? Do you surf?” Cye asked.

“Nah. No one’s willing to teach me,” Hana said, the smile fading into a frown.

“I can teach you.”

“You can?”

“Sure. I can do it right now if you want.”

The frown on her face turned back into a smile as she jumped in place.

“Oh thank you Cye!”

“No problem. We’ll start with the basics and go from there.”

Hana nodded and followed Cye to a less crowded area.

“I’m bored,” Kento groaned as he flopped onto the couch.

“I’m sure there’s something for you to do,” Rowen said. He was sitting in one of the

armchairs with his nose in a book.

“Well, I ate lunch, had a snack, made another sandwich, had a bag of chips. That’s all I

could think of.”

Rowen didn’t answer or give him a look.

“I’ll go see what Ryo and Sage are up to,” Kento said and got off the couch.

Kento walked outside into the front yard where he saw Ryo kicking around a soccer ball with

White Blaze hot on his tail. Mia was sitting on a blanket on the grass, watching them play.

Sage wasn’t anywhere to be seen so he decided to spend sometime with Mia on the lawn.

“Hey what’s up Mia?” Kento said cheerfully.

“Oh nothing. Just watching Ryo and White Blaze play with the soccer ball,” Mia said, looking

up at Kento with a smile.

“Cool. Care if I join you?”

“Not at all.” Mia scooted over, giving Kento some room on the blanket. Kento sat down next

to her, giving out a big yawn as he did so.

“Busy day?” Mia asked with a smile.

“Oh yeah. Real busy,” Kento said sarcastically.

“Whatever happened with going surfing with Cye?”

“Eh. He said that it was best if he went alone this time. I don’t see why he couldn’t take

me along.”

“Well you did bug him about that girl Hana for the rest of the day yesterday.”

“I guess I did, didn’t I?”

Mia simply nodded and went back to watch Ryo as he chased White Blaze around.

Meanwhile back on the beach, Hana was having trouble staying on the board. With a loud

splash, she fell back into the water.

“This is starting to get annoying,” she said.

“You are doing great,” Cye said.

“I am?”

Cye nodded with a smile on his face.

“I guess I can give it another go.”

“That’s the spirit!”

Hana smiled as she got back on the board. She paddled further away from where she was and

waited. Cye just watched patiently for the next wave to arrive. A rumbling like sound came

from behind her. Cye watched as Hana got herself ready to get onto her feet again as the

wave came in. At that time Hana was riding the surf board with the wave behind her. Cye

clapped as she made her way back to him. The wave crashed back into the water, leaving

behind mini waves.

“I did it!” Hana said excitedly.

“You did very well,” Cye said.

“Thank you Cye for teaching me!” Hana ran up to him and gave him a big hug.

Cye stood there with his cheeks red as she pulled away and smiled up at him.

“It’s getting late,” Cye said.

“Yeah,” Hana said sadly.

“Time goes by quick doesn’t?”

“You got that right. But hey, how about we meet again tomorrow?”

“What?”

“Yeah. But not here. I know a great place where we can get sundaes.”

“Like a date?”

“Yeah. I guess you can call it that if you want to. So how about it?”


“O-okay.”

“Great! It’s called the Yuki Ice Cream Palor. It’s by where all the main resturaunts are.”

“Oh. I know where that is.”

“Great. So I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

“Bye Cye!” Hana yelled as she ran the opposite direction.

Cye just waved and headed back himself.
