The suggestion & answer (open)

[Finn Calder]

Finn Abel Calder sat on the beach on his day 'off' from school. Now it wasn't exactly a day off for everyone else. He just decided to ditch, and get away from everyone. Sometimes he felt as if the school social system was very very biased. But he would never try to change it for fear of being kicked out of top dog. He liked being top dog. It was great to feel as if he had a sense of power, which was something that he never got at home. At home there was no one to get a sense of power over. His father was always at the courts and his mother was always at the hospital. It seemed as if he was living by himself whenever he was there. On average, his parents spent four days out of the week overnight at there place of work. They even had beds in their offices, so that they could catch a wink in between their busy schedules. Sometimes he wished that they did come home.

Finn laid back into the sand and enjoyed the sun hitting his skin, he was drinking it all in. He pulled out his headphones from his ipod and let it play out loud. The song play was probably the closest thing to his theme song. It was S.E.X by Nickelback. Ah, a great song in his opinion. He thought that people should live by that song as a motto. Its always a question, never an answer cause the answers yes or the answers yes. It was something that he felt was an amazing thing. He knew that he could do that. He would always say yes when a girl asked. It would seem almost prissy for him to ever say no. It's not like he'd ever said it before, so in his mind why start now? Why break the beautiful chain? There was absolutely no reason in his mind.

Finn looked around the beach, seeing nearly nobody. It was a very nice day out, yet everyone was either in school or at work. So he had the beach to nearly himself. It was barren for but a few people here and there. Finn tapped his surfboard with his foot and looked at the nice swells that were coming in. None were too big for him, nor too small for him to ride. He sighed and plopped back onto his blanket. He was too lazy so early in the morning. In about an hour he'd go. But until then he'd take a nap. He told the nurse he didn't feel well so she excused him from school and said that he should go and sleep. So if he did that now, it wouldn't be completely lying to her. And if someone caught him he could always say that laying out in the sun with fresh, moist air always helped him to feel better. God, it was times like this that he thought of himself as a mini genius.

The Silver Honda Accord pulled up to the edge of the sand. A view of the ocean and of the sun rising was as beautiful as ever. The girl sat in her car and enjoyed the view for a moment. She remembered coming here before a while ago with her ex when they were still talking. She would often come back to reminisce about their past conversations.

She opened the car door and got out.She slammed the door behind her and pressed the lock button. She made her way toward the ocean waves.The warm rays from the sun made her skin glow ever so brightly. Her eyes were squinted because of the light hitting them.

She took out her phone and looked at it. She had no missed calls or no new message. She slipped her phone back into her pocket as she looked back at the view. It reminded her of how Lake Michigan used to look in the morning on a warm summer day. The way the sun peered from behind the buildings and glistened brightly and beautifully on a sunny morning. It was just as beautiful, maybe even more when the sun was setting.

She looked down at the crystal clear blue water.When the rays of the sun hit, it looked as if glass were cutting through the strong and smooth waves. The sea gulls screeched and flew over her.She smiled and thought about all the times she had come here with her dad and mom. She sat down for a moment and just took the view in. She took off her bag from her back and pulled out her sketchbook.

She took a moment to review all the sketches she had done before. She flipped through and smiled and then came to the one that she did and she read the caption under it. Me and you are forever and I love you.It was the sketch she had done of her and her ex Finn. A tear escaped from her eye as she flipped from the page and found a blank one. She took out a pencil from the side of her back and began to draw the view in front of her.

After she had done the rough sketch, she took out her oil pastels, her colored pencils, crayons, and paints. She began to color the picture. Whenever she did a picture, she loved to use different medias. After about twenty minutes of filling it in, the picture was complete but there was still something missing it seems. She added to it and then smiled.. Only someone really open-minded could appreciate this type of beauty Her eyes looked around.She smiled.
