Before you could ponder the potential issues that would come with your new assignment, you felt the RC boat surge into motion as Gigi manoeuvred it forward. She was sure to avoid most of the larger waves, displaying a skill at controlling the vehicle that you hadn’t had the chance to fully appreciate yesterday, during the emergency situation that you had last ridden on the boat in.
Although she did at one point steer the boat straight into a small cresting wave, which soaked you. You turned back to see her smirking and suppressing a laugh, and you could only chuckle to yourself, amused by the slightly older girl’s immature joke.
You spent the next thirty minutes sitting in Gigi’s boat as she drove it along the shore as she walked along the shore keeping pace with you. Aside from keeping an eye out for trouble you didn’t have a whole lot to do, it was pretty relaxing. You were too far out to be able to converse with Gigi while you patrolled, but you recall Bridgitte saying that if this partnership worked out she would look into getting a tiny sized walkie talkie for you to be able to communicate easier with Gigi, plus you were sure you would be able to get to know her better when you two stopped for lunch.
Just as you were starting to get a little bored, you noticed a teenage girl, maybe around fourteen or so, who seemed to be struggling to swim and was fairly far out to sea, you looked back to Gigi, and saw that she had noticed her as well. Gigi gave you a thumbs up and began steering you out towards the struggling teen.
The boat was pretty fast, so you made it out to her in record time. You couldn’t really make out a whole lot about her, as she was flailing and struggling in the water, all you could really make out was her long, red hair and pale skin.
As you approached you pulled out your megaphone.
“Are you ok? What’s wrong? I’m a lifeguard so I’m here to help,” you said these words with confidence, but you weren’t sure exactly how you would be able to help her.
“I- ugh,” she seemed to be struggling to keep her head above water and thus wasn’t really able to communicate what was wrong.
“Ok, if you’re struggling to swim just lay back and try to float, ok. Can you do that?”
The girl didn’t seem to acknowledge what you had said, but she shifted in the water and managed to, after a small struggle, start to float on her back. The motion of her body shifting like that so close to the boat rocked it slightly in the water, but you managed to keep your footing.
She seemed to be struggling to keep herself afloat and her plain, freckled face was contorted in pain. Her posture seemed off, she seemed unable to lie straight on her back, her skinny body was hunched slightly as she clutched her midsection. Now that she wasn’t struggling to keep her head above water she turned to speak to you, revealing a mouth filled with braces.
“H-hi... I’m Sandy, s-sorry for the trouble, I just got cramp and started to panic,” she blushed in embarrassment at the trivial reason that she was struggling. “I-It’s just that I didn’t want to come out this far... B-but my sister and her friends sorta forced me to come out this far or they said they’d tell a boy at school that I liked him.”
As she said this you followed her eyes to a group of girls sat on the beach laughing at her. They looked older than Sandy, you would guess around eighteen or nineteen, and in terms of looks they were a far cry from the scrawny girl you were helping. Each of the four girls were absolute knockouts, even from this distance.
One in particular grabbed your attention as you surveyed the group. She sat in the middle of the group, that fact along with the approval seeking looks that the others gave her as they chatted, which made you think that she was at the top of the pecking order. She was similar in appearance to Sandy, sharing her red hair and pale skin, which told you this was probably her sister, however the resemblance ended there. Her sister was a bombshell, she looked incredibly tall, with long, toned legs. You could see where her younger sister was thin and scrawny, this girl was curvy and toned. Her body looked sculpted by years of athletics, and her face was incredibly pretty, even if it was currently twisted in a mean spirited smirk.
You tore your gaze away from the gorgeous older sister back to Sandy.
“Hey, don’t worry about them. They sound like jerks. The best thing you can do right now is just breathe, the cramp will go away if you just relax and breathe.”
You coached Sandy’s breathing for a few minutes until the cramp went away. She gave you a small “T-thanks” before paddling back towards the shore. You could tell from the way she swam back to shore that she wasn’t a confident swimmer, and seeing her older sister and her friends teasing her made your blood boil. Gigi didn’t seem to notice the group of mean girls, as her gaze was fixed on the ocean, and you.
Putting your anger to the back of your mind you began to scan the rest of the beach as Gigi steered you further down the beach.
*****
You and Gigi had just patrolled all the way down to the left hand side of the beach with very few incidents, you had to be driven out to tell some kids to turn around as they were swimming too far out to sea, but that was about it.
You were patrolling back up to the middle of the beach when you spotted a commotion further out to sea. Looking to Gigi, she nodded before steering you out to check it out.
The section of water that you were speeding across wasn’t very deep, which meant that most people could stand up in it, with the water coming up to an average person’s stomach, but it was still quite a distance out and your boat moved much faster through the water than it would take Gigi to wade through it.
As you pulled closer to the source of the commotion you saw what was causing it. A familiar group of four girls were cruelly cackling as their leader repeatedly dunked another girl headfirst in the water over and over. As their victim was pulled up for air you recognised the gasping face of Sandy. Your blood boiled at the sight of this young girl being picked on like this. You knew how it felt to be picked on by someone massively larger and more powerful than yourself, so you sympathised with her.
As your boat zoomed towards the group you pulled out your megaphone.
“HEY!” You shouted out, loud enough for them to hear thanks to the megaphone. The four girls were momentarily distracted by your voice as they tried to figure out where it was coming from. As your boat drifted to a stop you continued. “Down here. Stop picking on people, the last thing this beach needs is a group of bullies.”
As they all turned to look down at you, their looks of confusion turned to amusement as they spotted you.
“Oh, lookie here girls, it’s a little shrimpy tiny. What’s the plan tough guy, you trying to help my little wuss of a sister?” The lead girl smirked down at you with her hands on her hips. She was an intimidating sight for sure, she was tall enough that the water lapped at her belly button, so you were at the same height as her lean stomach. You looked past her to see Sandy slipping away while her sister was distracted. Her sister noticed this and turned to watch her scamper off.
Satisfied that you had allowed Sandy to escape, you turned and tried to signal for Gigi to steer you away and surprisingly, Gigi noticed you and started to steer you out of there. A split second after the boat started to move, you struggled to keep your footing as it lifted from the water to the face of Sandy’s gorgeous, vindictive sister lifted the boat up, preventing your escape.
“Leaving so soon?” She pouted. “But you’ve already lost me my entertainment, it would be rude not to make it up to me.”
Looking around for any kind of escape from these gigantic bullies, you spotted Gigi wading her way towards you in the relatively shallow water. You sighed in relief knowing that your partner would be able to help you out of this situation.
1) Gigi talks the girls down and they thankfully recognise her authority as a lifeguard. They leave you alone.
2) The girls intimidate Gigi and she has to leave to go get help, but it takes a while, so the girls have free reign to torment you.
3) The girls intimidate Gigi and she has to leave to go get help. She returns later quickly with Bridgitte and Quinn, and they save you. Bridgitte decides you need some training to “toughen you up” before she can send you out with Gigi again.
