I swam to Catalina

It didn’t take long.
The tides can silently, lapping gently around my body as I shifted my head left, right, left to take in a gulp of air every few seconds. Pretty soon, by natural current, I was brought upon Catalina.
Shaking my head to remove the excess water, I walked onto the shore feeling pretty proud of myself.
But it wasn’t the Catalina I remembered from 8th grade–it was Fountain Valley High School in the middle of yellowish shore sand.
More specifically, I was facing the back senior parking lot gated entrance/ exit near the history buildings and since I was on the sidewalk leading into the history buildings, behind me, to my right, was the back gate of the band room.
There was a bike lying on the sidewalk.
So I carefully climbed on.
