That Beautiful Summer Night Walking down the empty road, I could finally see the waves calling me towards them. Finally, I had reached my safe haven. I left my shoes at the side and stepped into the soft sand, relaxing at once. The beach was my home and the waves, my family. Today was one of the hardest days of my life and lying here on the sand and looking at the stars twinkling, I felt at peace. Suddenly I saw something glimmer in the sand, so I walked towards it and found that it was a beautiful piece of stone, shaped like a star. What luck! As I continued walking along the stretch of the beach, I suddenly felt someone following me. 'Oh, I’m in such danger!' I thought to myself. I still turned around slowly to find a boy staring at me, with his sparkling black eyes looking deeply into mine. “Who are you?” I asked. “I’m Bond, James Bond,” he said. “And I’m Hazel, Hazel Grace,” I responded with a smile. “Your name is really Hazel Grace??!!” he asked surprised.
