Seems like only yesterday, Cassie had never spoken to a real live boy. Cut to now: not only has she already smooched with adorable Micah, she's actually missing him while he's away at a surfing competition. Part of her loves the way it feels to have feelings for someone. But another part of her wonders if Micah will just be a distraction once she starts surfing competitively again. And then there's a third part - the part that still hasn't stepped foot in the ocean since that fateful day with the shark. And if that part doesn't find a way to get over itself, Cassie may never surf competitively again.
