Summer had come to an end school time awaited , ritha had to return to school, she woke up and had a shower she ran down stairs and had breakfast as her usual school routine , her dad drove her to school. Merry hill high school she read and got ready to enter the gates of her school upon entering she saw everyone happy , greeting and cheering with their friends she went to her class and she took her diary and started writing, the alarm rang and every one had to go to their class , Jennifer came and sat next to her , " hey is everything alright you seem up to something" , " no just writing about my new unforgettable memories and besides I want to keep this first day a memory", "ok whatever" . Moments later the teacher entered and e introduced himself , he was new he spoke English and he also spoke Spanish . "Ritha did you just hear that this new teacher is cool he can even speak Spanish , you know what I really love Spanish we'll talk at the end of the day ,I'll go sit in front , later ritha" Jennifer said and then went to sit in front . She switched places with another guy in glasses , he was quite like a nerd , he had lots of gadgets ritha was confused and had to greet him , "uhm hi , are you a nerd" , " no , I am carlos" , ritha laughed " you are a funny guy" , " and nope you failed again I am a scientist guy" , "ok you win carlos, but how comes you sit at the back and guys like you need to sit at the font to focus" , "I am more comfortable to sit next to quiet people like you which helps me focus more on my work" , "I am ritha, ritha miles nice to meet you" she said and carlos shook ritha's hand.They had their morning study session and the alarm rang and then they all went out for the break pause , ritha went to check on her friends , "hi pete", she approached pete and asked if tom actually came to school he thought tom didn't actually come to school but she was shocked to hear that he was even getting along w ith the other friends of ritha so she left pete and went back to class trying to keep away from tom . The bell rang and every one came back into class "ritha you have no idea who is new in this school he is even more than cool h has got some cool tricks" , "I think I know him he is one of my friends back at home , you know what never mind I'll go talk to Jennifer", ritha said and went to meet Jennifer. " Jennifer you won't believe this , lanna and tom are finally getting together", " ritha is everything okay I think you are behaving strange you would never be surprised about that or is this all about the plan you were talking about" , "no Jennifer why don't you get what I mean but everything is fine even more than ever , bye Jennifer ,I got to go we'll talk after class" , ritha said and went back to her seat . Jennifer looked behind and talked to pete , " hey , pete over here , what's up with ritha she is behaving like a lunatic" , " I have no Jennifer idea but I guess she is trying to clean her mind up and forget about tom" , "ok may be let's just just give her time she is going to figure it out" Jennifer said then the teacher entered . The day was so boring for ritha she could not resist to all the boring talks of her class mates they all talked about the awesomeness of tom it would stress her up when she tried to forget all about tom , the day ended and it was time to go back home she headed to the beach after reaching home she saw the cool view of the sea and she felt the cool sea reeze she wanted to go surfing but it was getting late the waves were growing bigger and she hated when the sea was out of control the , sun was setting and then she had no other option she back home . Ritha looked upset minded at the dining table but no one noticed it , she lost her appetite and asked her dad to leave the dining table but her dad was suspicious about it so she asked her why, " ritha , is everything ok why do you choose to leave the dining table yet it is your favorite meal tonight", " dad everything is ok I promise I just feel a little bit sleepy", she went upstairs and went to her room she then lied on her bed and then turned on her smooth jazz and fell asleep. Early in the morning she rose and did her morning routines as fast as she could and entered went to school with her dad she entered , she entered class and she was first in her class room , she had time to prepare all her books and wrote in her diary and very soon others arrived in class and so did the teacher , then the morning session started . In the break time ritha preferred to stay all alone then she walked to the dinner hall to drink water she found some posters on the walls and came to one strange poster, " Surffing mayhem to be held in a month ahead" she read in amazement , " how is this possible , I've got to tell the others" she said to herself . Ritha was'nt patient she was so eager to tell the others but she had to wait until the end of the day because break time was almost over , she then drank and returned to class . Finally the day came to an end , she called upon all her friends and told them to meet at the barracuda club center. Ad so they went and met there , " coach I have very good and exciting news there is compe.....". Ritha ra out of words , she fell to the ground , miley was lying down she could have fainted or died but ritha had no idea all she had to do was to call for help , "ahhhhh someone help…" she shouted out calling for help the others came running and they entered miley's office , " what happened here" , Jennifer said " I don't know but it doesn't look god at all someone call an ambulance we must search for help" , ritha said and pete immediately took his phone and called an ambulance, the ambulance from the local clinic came in ten minutes , miley was put on board and carried to the hospital . Miley recovered she was on medication all ritha's friends were all around her , " Why are you atanding around me , and why am i here, " miley don't worry you'll be alright soon" lanna said to miley as she touched her forehead , the doctor returned from the inspection room , " doctor what did you find" , Jennifer said to the nurse she had took miley's blood sample , " no big problems she has a hypoglycemia , but she is going to be stuck here for a little while but nothing to worry about we are giving her extra care" . Ritha was confused she didn't have any idea of what hypoglycemia meant so she had to ask the nurse about it , but they all laughrd at her he was shocked to know that it was a low concentration of blood sugar , but she was a little bit sad because without coach miley for awhile she would have no one to encourage her and she would possibly decline a bit . " miley who is going to train us when you are not around , I recently read at school that there is a surfing competition in a month to come" , " ritha I think it is your time to shine as a true champion , and tom you are a good example of a leader , so when you come together and work as a team you are going to be able to do everything on your own" , " ok coach thanks for your trust we shall leave from here and we shall visit often" , tom said and they left , they returned to the barracuda club center. " Ritha about what you said about the competitions was it serious" , " yeah I read it at school and they are so near we have to get more training", " so what's the deal" lanna said , " we have to practice everytime we get a chance , mainly Wednesdays because we literally go home earlier than other days , and also Weekends until miley is alright deal" , " deal" they all said to tom . " so guys I think we are free this afternoon let's head to the beach and practice" , they all agreed to head to the beach and practice . They arrived and put on their swim suits and took their surfing boards and went into the water , " so tom , how is it going with your new girl" , " huh , you won't believe , lanna and I , it's hard to tell she's just so beautiful but literally no much interest in love I don't why", " I've been watching ritha she seems to be broken hearted and she's the one who truly oved you but she seems to have forgotten all about it" , " you know what pete let's just join the others and practice I think what lanna needs is time but maybe i think I really liked ritha she seemed more attractive , any way let's go". "Alright girls timeout lets go for a run in the sand " pete shouted and they came out of the water and went for a run . " Ritha , I think we've not talked in a couple of days now" tom approached ritha , " why it's no big deal I see you often" ritha said confidently , " I think I don't bother you , I mean me being with lanna" , " why did you say so tom ? I'm so happy for the two of you", " ritha what I meant to say is ….." , " tom don't mention it you and lanna make the greatest couple they ever could be , let's just go on with practice" . they continued the jogging. "Jennifer did you see what I just saw" , " yep I sure did they are finally getting along and reconciling , this is another good moment right for them" Jennifer said . " guys check this out", pete said shouted in amazement "The school prom awards are two weeks ahesd which means that will be Friday" , " what , so we have to get ready for prom awards , whatever we've got our own prom queen" , " how is it possible the school prom is held at the end of the year" tom said looking confused , " there's a slit change that it's going to be held every term because we've got many contestants" said pete. " So let's go home before it's too late we'll think about that and organize it tomorrow" tom said and they all went home. " Hi mom" said ritha as she opened the door her mom was done with preparing diner , " where were you ritha ritha you've been too late than normal" , " mom I am fine no need to be worried it was practice at the club we have a completion in a month to come" , " ok then get ready for diner , you're late" her dad said . After diner ritha headed to bed but before she slept she thougt tom's words and she wondered about it but she had changed her mind to think about tom anymore she fell asleep . The next day in class in class the science teacher took the whole class on a field trip , their assignment was to do some species diversity , ritha and carlos were lucky , carlos had the most amazing gadgets and reference books to help them , suddenly ritha's phone rang a strange numer called her , but she wasn't sure about it but she decided to not answer it , it rang again she wondered about it and she answered it . " Hello it is the doctor , don't hang up, w need you right here at the clinic" she was frightened , she decided to tell the others , they were also frightened upon hearing it , miley could be in danger they told the teacher about their situation and by luck he understood and they had to leave they headed to the clinic . They arrived at the clinic upon entering miley's room , she was standing , looking outside the window , " sorry for frightening you but she is in good condition now" , said the doctor , " you almost scared our souls out on the phone" , ritha said , " so coch are you good to go now?" ,ritha asked , " I think the she has to stay a bit longer to fully recover and then be good to go" , the doctor said , " so for how long actually" , " ritha it is almost a week" miley said to her , " so we're not practicing this Saturday" , " I guess so , but you can still practice on your own" , " ok so get well soon coach I think we have to return to school" , they went out her room and they went back to school They returned school the assignment had been done they had to go to class , there was a guy named ill who sat at the back , he used to surf with the others at the barracuda club but he had quit he approached ritha and asked her about miley's condition she explained all to bill but had no idea why bill needed to know . After class ritha was ready to head home but before she went bill held her hand , " ritha can we meet at the mariachi restaurant , I'll come pick you from home" , " sure , no problem I am all free this evening" , after bill then left ritha had no idea what just happened , she then took her bag and went home . Awhile ago after arriving home remembered about bill , " mom I will not be home for dinner tonight" , " honey have you got a date" , " no mom it is just an ordinary friend" , " ok honey do what suits you" , " thanks mom" she said and returned to her room . The night fell tom was still not arriving , the agreed time passed then ritha started to to think that bill was not going to come , she she then called bill but bill hang up . A car arrived ritha heard it from her room and went out o check who it was , it was a black and white Porsche , bill stepped out of it and held ritha's hand " I am sorry for being late the road was very busy that's why I even hang up on you" , " ok that's fine with me" , " so hop in" , bill said and ritha entered in the car and they went, " nice car bill is it yours", " yep my dad got it for me I had helped him with handling patient at his hospital" , " he has a hospital", " ah you never knew" , " wow have such a wonderful life" , " don't boher knowing about it my mother left me when I was young so dad does all to make me happy" , " oh sorry" , " it is fine I am used to it" .

" What would you like to have, " the waiter said ritha took the menu , " sushi" she said , "wow you read my mind I wanted sushi too" , the waiter took the command . "So ritha the main reason I called you for dinner tonight is because I wanted to apologize to miley I quit surfing on purpose and I didn't have time to apologize because I was mad at miley because of the situation that was going on between us , and I don't really think it will be easy for her to understand me because I want to return to the club I ,have changed my mind", " you know bill I don't think there is nothing impossible , just approach her I trust you she'll understand you" ritha said to bill as she held bill's hand bill looked at ritha's hand " no way I had one of those" , " you mean my barracuda bracelet", " yeah , but I lost it" , " yeah everyone has one you'll get it back when you return I probably think she will accept you never give up on her" , ritha said as she held bill's arm , bill smiled to her and she smiled back . After dinner they went back in the car bill played his favorite playlist , " hey , I love that song" , " sure , it's my favorite too" , they sang together all the way to ritha's place . They arrived ritha stopped the car , " here we are ritha" bill said to ritha as she escorted her out of the car and into the gate , " bill do you care greeting my parents" , " oh sure it is fine" , ritha knocked the door and her mom opened the door , " hi ritha and …" , " it is bill I am ritha's friend", " oh and I am ritha's mom angie", " so bill next time be carefull with my daughter don't damage her bright future hear me" , " dad it's just normal friendship don't be hard on him" , ritha said and then went and escorted bill.
