Nags Head

Our first full day at Nags Head was really fun. We ate breakfast out at a little beach shack. Then I started to clean up around the house... I mean RV a little. Then, I went and saw the beach and tried to bike on it. FAIL! The sand was too soft and there were too many shells. The next thing I did yesterday was take a long, hard walk to the pier and look around. We all (the whole family) walked down the beach. Rebecca was picking up shells constantly. I observing (spying) on people, Dad eating peanuts and Mom talking to everyone that we passed. (She's a people person!) Very close to the pier, were two girls in the sand. They were about my age. I was wondering about how to surf, and they had boogie boards in their area, so I asked them a question. I started out with, "Are you any of you surfers"?

"We both are," they said at the same time.

"That was weird," I stated under my breath.

"Just kidding", the brunet said. She continued, "We're probably the worst out here."

As I only came to ask the question, I started to walk away.

"What's your name?" The blond asked.

"Andrew", I said, still trying to get away.

"Haley", the brunet stated.

"Halie", the blond stated.

"No, I don't believe that."

"Mom!" Haley (brunet) screamed. "Are we both named Haley?"

"Yes," turning to look at me, "This one", pointing to the brunet, is Haley with a Y.

"This one," pointing to the blond, "is Halie with an i. Goodbye," and she walked away.

"See", teased the blond Halie.

"I stand corrected," I said.

Over the next few minutes they asked me a few questions, found out where I lived, what I liked. I learned they live in Charlotte.

"What do you like to do?" Halie asked.

"I like to make movies and..."

The brunet interrupted me. "Wait, stop right there. What if you could make a movie of us?"

"Well I..."

"That would be so cool!"

"I don't exactly have my vide...

"Ooh! Can you come tomorrow?"

"I guess I can..."

"Alright, tomorrow then. We'll be right here."

"But I..."

"Say no more. Tomorrow it is."

I was bewildered. That was the only time I had been forced into a date.

I guess I'll meet her today then.

The next part of the day included us waiting a storm out that didn't come, riding bikes with two boys, and eating a nice dinner. It was a good day.

Til next time,

Andrew
