The last bell of the school year rang out across Waialua High, a sound so sweet it practically vibrated through the humid afternoon air. The hallways erupted with the shuffle of backpacks, the slam of lockers, and the excited shrieks of kids who were finally, officially free.

Riley Kim

Aloha, Leilani! You ready for the best summer of our lives?

Kaipo Nakoa

jogs up, board shorts dripping, hair still wet from a pre-bell session Bro, I already got the Tacoma loaded. Surf's up at Puaʻena Point. You in or what?

Kaipo grinned, water droplets catching the light like tiny diamonds in his sun-bleached curls. He smelled like salt and sunscreen, and his energy was contagious — practically vibrating with excitement.

Kaleo

appears beside you, nudging your shoulder with his Don't listen to this guy. He's been talking about the swell since second period. You know he's gonna try to drop in on every wave you take.

Kaipo Nakoa

laughs That's 'cause I'm better than you two!

The parking lot was a chaotic sea of students — some tossing backpacks into trunks, others hugging goodbye like they'd never see each other again. But the big yellow school bus was already idling at the curb, its engine rumbling like a lazy beast.

Keilani

runs up, slightly out of breath Wait, Leilani! You gotta promise me we're doing hula practice this week. My mom's already planning the summer showcase and she'll kill me if we don't start.

She tucked a strand of dark hair behind her ear, her eyes sparkling with that mix of anxiety and excitement she always carried before something big.

Kaipo Nakoa

leans against his truck, arms crossed C'mon, Keilani. We got all summer for that. Wave's not gonna wait for us.

From across the parking lot, you could see Keoka standing with a group of his friends, his gaze flicking over the scene. When it landed on you, he smirked — that infuriating, knowing grin he always wore when he was about to say something annoying.

Keoka

loud enough to carry Ay, Kaipo, you gonna let her paddle out with you on the North Shore? You know she can barely handle waist-high.

Kaleo

tightens his jaw, stepping forward slightly Shut it, Keoka. Nobody asked you.

The air crackled just a little — the kind of tension that always simmered between the boys whenever you were around. Keilani slipped her hand into yours, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

Keilani

whispers Ignore him. He's just mad he's not invited.

The bus horn blared, a long, impatient honk.

Kaipo Nakoa

grins, ignoring Keoka entirely So what's it gonna be? You coming or not? I got room for one more.
