Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
Elizabeth rose out of the water with her hands straight out. She collapsed to where she was resting on her lower part of her left leg. She gripped the sand with her hands. As her head rose, her glowing red eyes turned back to the normal jade green. Elizabeth's blond hair was soaked but had perfect waves.Her toes squeezed the sand and her arms began to shake. She stood up wearing short dark blue jean shorts and a jade green tank top. People didn't seem to notice her. Elizabeth's nose cringed and she pulled a piece of seaweed off her arm. She felt the strangely dry clothes no longer wet or clinging to her tan body. Everywhere she turned she saw teenage couples running or kissing under the docks or children chasing each other. Nobody had noticed her at all. A voice came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Awfully strange to see a girl rise out of the water completely dry."
Well, this is an intriguing start, we have what appears to be a fairly mysterious sounding girl just emerging right out of the ocean and said person's clothes just so happen to be very dry. I think you do a pretty decent entrance, normally I'd say this is a touch too much description but since this starts with said description, it actually manages to work out okay here....not to mention I do love how she's immediately spotted by someone that points out the whole strangely dry clothes thing. That just doesn't happen enough in stories..and well, this is off to a nice start here.
Her back cringed and she turned. There stood a guy about 17 years of age and had long shaggy black hair. He wore red and black swim trunks that fell just below his 6 pack of abs. His body was perfectly tan and his eyes were a deep shade of blue.
"Oh, well...my clothes dry quickly." Was all Elizabeth could say.
"Interesting what brand if you don't mind me asking." He said looking at her. "My names Jake by the way."
She stared at him.
"I'm Elizabeth."
Well, for someone that sounded as suspicious as this guy did with that question, this one managed to switch from being suspicious to almost being lightly flirty there, or maybe I just read too much into that based on the description that was given...I'm not entirely sure..at any rate, believing that rather lame excuse aside, this is an interesting start. Its a bit too short to give us much, but as far as opening scenes go, this one is sufficiently mysterious and interesting enough that I'd want to read more.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
