Victoria's+Story!!!!!!!!!!

“Look over there! Underneath that bridge! What is it?” Victoria asked squinting at the faraway sight of the arch ahead. The other 3 girls glanced over with the sun beating down on this hot summer day on the beach. Rebecca, Julissa, and Emily all ran over to the black, jagged rocks that threatened to give you a big cut if you slid down too fast. The soft sand burned their feet as they ran across the beach. “Come on! Let’s go over there. It is going to drive me crazy if I don’t find out what is down there!” Julissa yelled excitedly with a grin spreading out on her face. “Small problem there, Julissa. We aren’t supposed to go down there and we could get really hurt if we climb down the rocks too quickly.” Emily answered shyly backing away from the rocks with a scared expression trying to hide from her face. The ocean breeze blew past in that moment of silence and they could hear the waves crashing and colliding. “Come on! Nothing will happen! It’s a beautiful day and we should enjoy it!” Julissa yelled climbing swiftly down the rocks maiming her arm a bit in the process. All of the girls knew that once Julissa made up her mind, she could not be dissuaded. The friends rolled their eyes trying not to show their real feeling toward Julissa’s idea, but went with her anyway because they were afraid to leave her alone. Down on the rocks, you could really smell the freshness that came from the water and then all of the girls than relaxed a bit and headed on. The bright blue waves now acted like a black hole trying to suck you in and not letting you go, which then washed away all of the relaxed feelings. The girls followed in a close proximity to Julissa and were getting closer to the sight that seemed to move farther away every time they took a step forward. The water was now running toward the friends as they were about 20 feet away from the bridge.

“Wow! Look at that! We are so close to the bridge and nothing has happened!” Julissa cried. Just as she said that, her foot slipped off the rock all in that one second.

“Oh no! Julissa, hold onto my hand!” Victoria cried with Emily behind her ready to help in case she failed. Victoria eventually pulled Julissa up and they slowly started to continue. The rough winds now blew past quickly left the girl’s hair blowing behind them as if they were in a photo shoot.

Suddenly, the water rushed up to the girls and even though the sun was beating down, the girls were in the shade from the bridge, which meant the water was like ice except in liquid form. Now as Emily, Victoria, Rebecca, and Julissa moved forward, they finally set their feet on the little porch under the bridge. On the bridge walls were colors from the ocean that were left after the waves washed up. They were like a rainbow except missing a few of the brighter colors.

“I told you we should come! Look at this!! It is so cool!” Julissa said to the other 3 girls who just stared. The friends smiled to each other silently agreeing. The waves made a crashing noise against the porch. The sun started to change into a light lilac and now the girls knew it was time to go back to the beach. The friend would not forget what they saw. Now they knew to give new adventures a try and to have faith in your friends. Even though they had to leave now, it was known that they would soon return to the scene that made them just smile and enjoy the peaceful time underneath the bridge.
