NEWALU 18 | HETEROSEXUAL | PROFESSIONAL SURFER | HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT | XAVIER SAMUEL So Kanoa, you're new to Brunswick High. How are you adapting? "Excuse me miss, but I think you're a little late to be asking me this. I've been here for the entire year and you're only now asking me how I'm adapting? Right... well I guess I'm adapting just fine? I've made some pretty cool friends around here, so that's a plus. Luke is pretty much my best friend which is weird since I don't think I've ever really had a best friend... anyway, classes suck but when are they ever fun? The town itself isn't that bad but there's no place for me to catch any waves. Now that is frustrating considering surfing is my job. Honestly I'm contemplating just moving back to Hawaii because that's where I should be. But yeah, there you have it. I'm adapting to this place just fine. I'm very adaptable." It's good that you're making friends, but how come you've been missing so much school? "Ha, I knew this was why I was being called down here. Look, I already know I'm going to have to go through summer school in order to graduate, so you don't have to give me that lecture. I skip school because I can't stand it. I understand that I could probably do better if I had the motivation to do so, but school has never really... been my thing. Sports and the great outdoors is where I belong. Being stuck inside for eight hours of the day isn't exactly ideal for me. So I just don't go... Can't really tell you what I'm doing while I'm not in school because then my whole cover will be blown, but yeah. Technically I don't even have to be here. I could drop out if I wanted to. Just so you know." Do you think the loss of your parents has something to do with your bad behavior? "Alright, fuck you. Just because you're some sort of counselor doesn't mean you get to go around bringing up the ghosts of my dead parents. Not that it really bothers me because it doesn't. I never saw eye-to-eye with them. In their heads I was destined to be this peachy law school student or maybe work in some medical field. Honestly they just wanted me to break out of that beach bum stereotype that comes with being a Hawaiian native. Unfortunately for them... that's exactly what I was. I love the beach, the sun, the waves... all of it. That's the only thing that has ever given me enough drive to do anything. And...wow I got totally off topic there. Anyway, no I don't think the death of my parents has anything to do with my skipping. What has me ditching school all the time is that I don't enjoy being stuck in a cage for eight hours while I could be outside doing something more productive and entertaining with my time. I've already got my career started so at this point, a high school education hardly seems necessary." Perhaps it's all the fame that's getting to your head? "Haha, not likely. Sure I sign autographs a lot and plenty of people ask to take pictures with me, but I'm not one of those young celebrities who's gonna fall off the bandwagon. I don't do drugs because that shit will mess with your head and it's not good for your body. I can admit that I do drink from time to time, but that's about it. What teenager doesn't drink? Anyway, the fame doesn't really matter to me. Sure interviews are fun and it's kind of cool that people know who I am and aspire to be like me, but in all honesty I don't like the lack of privacy that comes with being famous. People are always sticking their noses in my business and sometimes that's a little irritating. As for my fans... I'd like to say I'm pretty good to them. Never once have I ever snapped at someone for asking to take a picture with me or asking me to sign something. Hell, if I'm not busy I'll probably talk to them for a while. Because I actually do like to make them feel like I do care about each and every one of them because I do. Weird, huh? But it's true. I try to be a nice guy on the whole, my sarcasm just gets in the way sometimes and I'll end up being an asshole without meaning to. Kind of got off track again, didn't I?" What about the stress of it all? I know there's rumors about you and your girlfriend. "Oh yeah, Lindi? There's some stuff buzzing around in the news and magazines, but I'm not really going to get into any detail about that because it's not of your business. All of that is between her and myself. Don't know why you would even care. Perhaps you find it kind of weird that a high school student is dating a twenty-one year old? Wouldn't surprise me if that was the case because most other feel the same. Anyway, fuck what you all think because Lindi is probably the only one who has ever been able to sort of... tame me. It's weird but we have a mutual sort of competitiveness that works for the two of us. Not about to get into all that relationship weirdness with you though because it's nothing you really need to know. And that's what this is about, right? The need to know stuff only?" You know you failed your senior year, correct? "Yep. Got a letter about that earlier this week. Apparently I have to go to summer school or something in order to graduate or else I'll be retaking my senior year. So... basically that means I'll be seeing you again next year. I don't have time to be wasting my summer on school when I could be out surfing and enjoying time with my girlfriend. So that's it yeah? Okay, good. Talk to you later" BEHIND THE MASK LEAH | 16 | EASTERN | IDK | A WHOLE HOARD OF THEM  |
