"The Monster Waves" by Vai Holani

It’s funny because she thought she’s cool jumping off the reef

A few years ago my family and I went swimming at the beach, it was cold when you first get inside, the waves were ruff going back and forth, and the turtles were out of the shells and in the water. My family loves going to the beach. We go on the reefs and jump on turtles, riding them like boards on the sea, and then we jump off the reef when big waves come in so we can get to shore easier. One day we went swimming and the waves were mad. My cousin decide to jump off the reefs again, (she loves to do dangerous stunts) we were like best friends to the end; we would climb trees, jump off the house, and always go to the beach. But on that day she thought she was cool for being the only one jumping off the reef. She would always tell us to come, but we were too sacred to go. Then we were going home and she decides to take a last jump, but that last jump the waves made a plan and took her out to sea. My family was laughing so hard our faces were red. Her hair was over her face so she’s choking on her hair and all            we see was a little black dot with arms screaming. Then my mom told me to go get her, but I was still laughing. So her brother went to go get her and when she got to shore she was crying like a baby and she wouldn’t shut up so we went to the movies after that.
