This is just a one shot. And although I have been asked to expand this story quite a few times over the past two years, I decided not to. I don't want to ruin this. This was one of my first stories! Cet is the original, British name that the name Keith is derived from, and Luila is the Irish version of Julia/Jillian. Although in Ireland my name would be Gillian.
Cet and his friend Luila were at the beach because Cet wanted to go surfing. Luila was explaining to him that if he used some of the wax on his heels he'd be able to do a lot better than he normally did.
Cet: That's crazy! I'm not gonna use wax on me feet!
Luila: But it'll help!
Cet: You're crazy, it's a waste of board wax!
Luila: But-
Cet: Be back later.
He started surfing and Luila thought to herself...
She walked over to a lad who was sitting on the beach waxing his surfboard. He looked up at her when she sat beside him.
Luila: Hey.
boy: ... Hey.
Luila: Will you help me prove someone wrong?
boy: What?
Luila: I'm pretty sure I didn't mumble the question.
boy: What do I have to do?
She got the wax out and handed it to the boy.
Luila: Put it on your feet.
boy: Huh?
Luila: Oh for crying out loud! You put the wax on your feet and it'll help you surf better!
He just looked at her for a few minutes not saying anything. She was about to get up and walk away when he said, "Wait. That's all I have to do?"
Luila: Yep, that's all you gotta do.
boy: Fine, give me the wax.
Luila smiled and handed him the container and he sighed but put the wax on his feet. When he was done, Luila looked at him expectedly.
boy: You want me to surf now?
Luila: Well, yeah. No one's ever actually tried putting wax on their feet before they start surfing and I wanna see if it'll work for em.
boy: I thought you said it would!
Luila: It should, I've just not seen anyone prove it.
The boy started muttering to himself but got up and went in the water. He got a pretty good wave a few minutes after going in and did a 360. Forty minutes later, he came back up on the beach to the sound of cheering and clapping and was completely proud of himself. He was quickly surrounded by people who kept giving him high fives and shaking his hand and slapping him on the back, congratulating him on the way he surfed. He found Luila and went over to her.
boy: Thanks so much for telling me to put wax on me feet! If you never told me to do that, I don't think I'd ever have surfed like that.
Luila: The waves were good today too. That's why I'm here with Cet. He wanted to go surfing but when I told him about the wax, he said I was crazy. Thank you so much for proving him wrong.
Luila shook his hand and said she had to go. When she got near the spot where Cet was, she could hear him cursing and ranting about what happened. Cet spotted her and stomped over to her.
Cet *angry*: YOU!
Luila *quietly* What?
Cet *still angry*: I CAN'T... I DON'T... HOW CAN THAT... GAH!!
Luila *not understanding what he was trying to say*: I'm sorry.
Cet *still yelling but not angry*: IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!
Luila: THEN WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?!
Cet *shocked*: I'm mad at meself. I hate when you prove me wrong! I wish I would have listened to you. Why'd you have to prove me wrong?! I could have been the one who was being congratulated when I got done with surfing. Why didn't you force me to use wax on me feet?! Don't walk away from me, I'm not done talking!
Cet starts following her off the beach and his voice fades as they get farther away...
