That evening, Mack was back in Lela’s bedroom. She was trying to put a record on the record player. She had no idea how the machine worked!

Lela came up behind her and took the record out of her hands. She placed it on the turntable and lowered the needle. “I know,” she said, “this electronic stuff can be really complicated.”

Mack laughed to herself. If only Lela knew how she usually played music! When the record started, Mack walked over to the window and gazed at the night sky.

“Are you okay?” Lela asked her.

“Sure…just homesick,” Mack said sadly.

“Is it the decor?” Lela asked, a little horrified.

“No, I’m not sick of your home,” Mack quickly explained. “I’m…” She didn’t want to get into the whole story, so she changed the subject. “So, how are things going with Brady?”

“Good, I guess,” Lela said, slightly distracted. “How are things going with Tanner?”

“Good, I guess,” Mack replied.

Lela picked up her brush and began combing her hair. “Sometimes I think boys don’t tell us what they’re thinking, mostly because thinking would involve more thinking,” she said. “But they make up for it by being cute. And boys.”

Mack couldn’t help but smile at Lela’s simple honesty. She noticed Lela’s necklace. It had a round medallion with a rose engraved in the center. “That’s a really pretty necklace.”

“It’s Hawaiian,” Lela told her. “It means ‘friendship forever.’ Like us, now.”

“Lela…you’re not at all what I thought you’d be,” Mack told her.

“Yeah, I’m a lot less like me than people think,” she said, laughing. “It’s funny, I feel like I can tell you anything.”

Mack nodded. “I know, it does feel like that.”

Suddenly, Lela’s eyes grew wide, and she let out a yelp. She scurried over closer to Mack. “I have a secret I’ve never told anyone!”

“I’d be happy to be your ‘anyone’ if you want,” Mack offered.

“Okay. Ready?” Lela asked. She squeezed Mack’s hands and then closed her eyes tightly as if she were making a wish on a birthday cake. “I want to surf.”

“Surf? Really!” Mack exclaimed.

“I mean, like a pro!” Lela exclaimed. “It’s insane, I know. And if my brother found out, he’d blow a gasket.” She got up and walked. “Plus, no girl ever surfed like a boy, until you!” She saw Mack staring at her. “You think I’m crazy, right?”

Mack stood up. “Not at all. Lela, never let anyone tell you that you can’t do what you want in life.”

“But, how do you do that?” Lela asked.

Mack paused for a moment. “It’s not always easy,” she said. “Believe me!”

“So you think I should surf?” Lela pressed on. “Like you do, like the surfers do?”

A fantastic idea popped into Mack’s head. “I think you should definitely surf like the surfers do! In fact, Brady could teach you. He taught me everything I know, and I’m a great surfer, right?”

Lela clapped her hands together. “You think he would?”

“I think he’ll agree. It’s a perfect plan!”

The next morning, Lela was on a surfboard, wading into the shallow water. Brady stood beside her, giving her directions.
