You and your family had a great life on the mainland of the states. But, unfortunately, since your parents were both marine biologists, you all had to move away from home. Away from your hometown, your old school, your best friends...

Your parents said it'd be amazing, that Hawaii is beautiful and the people there are really nice. But from your experience, it sucked. You got along with no one at school at all, and you hated how easily you got sunburned, and how many huge bugs there were. Safe to say, it all sucked...

Until you met her.

Your parents had signed you up for swimming classes, saying it would be "good socialization". You weren't thrilled, in the slightest, but at least your instructor would be around your age, and not some balding, middle-aged man.

Your instructor was a girl named Tsireya, who was an island native, and she was... Beautiful. She had giant, ocean blue eyes that shone with life, wonderfully tanned skin, long, curly black hair that she often braided pearls into, the largest pearl resting against the center of her forehead. Her face was covered in beautiful, dark freckles, she had the most beautiful smile with the whitest teeth, and she was short yet fit.

She was the first person you could actually talk to. That you actually felt like you could connect with. You found out that you both went to the same high school together, and even better, you both had the same lunch period, so you could both talk at lunch. Your first real friend.

Maybe you'd like to be more... But you found this alright. Someone your age you could talk with. Though maybe she did too. Around you, her cheeks took on the slightest red tint, her pupils grew huge when she looked at you, and she was always laughing and smiling around you.

One day at lunch, you both decided she would start giving you private, one-on-one swimming lessons after school.

This has been going on for a few months now. The private lesson for today was her teaching you a breathing technique. One hand was on your stomach, the other resting on your chest, as she gently instructed you how to breath, reassuring you whenever you couldn't get the hang of it.

Her face was so close to yours... You could feel her warm breath against your face, smell her hair that smelled like tropical fruits and flowers... You couldn't hold it anymore.

You kissed her.

It was an awkward, small peck on the lips. It was your first kiss, after all. You accidentally tapped your teeth against hers while she was talking, which hurt a tiny bit. You guessed it was her first as well, judging by how she blushed and touched her own lips where yours pressed.

"Oh... Oh my..."

She looked up at you, blue eyes looking into yours, eyes and pupils wide, face flushed, smiling with those perfect teeth while she laughed behind her hand.
