Max goes on a two week cruise with bff Lissa.
The warmth was hitting me as I lay on the beach chair at the pool, wearing my blue bikini. I had my sunglasses on and my eyes closed. "Be careful! Don't run!" I heard a woman yell across the pool. Little kids were screaming at the kiddie water playground, while families swam in the swimming pool.VRRR! VRRR! My phone vibrated. I grab my phone off the side table. It was Lissa. "Hello?" I said into my phone.
"Max! Where are you? Your mom's coming back to your hotel room," Lissa whispered in the phone that I barely could hear through the loud noise at the pool.
"Shoot. 'Kay thanks," I hung up the phone and quickly put my clothes over my bikini and ran to the hotel room. Lissa had somewhat been a good best friend to me. We've been best friends since we were in 2nd grade up to this year on the summer of going to to 10th grade. She was there for me, but at times she and I would fight about stupid things that led to crying. Now how do I get there? What was our hotel number again? I opened the door towards the inside of the cruise where the stores and restaurants were. Wow, this cruise is fancy, I thought. High white ceilings and three stories of stores and restaurants. The place was crowded with people walking back and forth. Quickly I walked through the cruise mall, pushing through people with many sorry's. My flip-flops were flopping on the marble floor as I speed walked. "Oof!" I fell butt first on the marble floor. A heavy body lay over me. "Watch it!" I said
"Sorry," said a boy with black, beachy hair that almost covers his eyes. He gets up and reaches his hand out. "Forget it," I take his hand and quickly get up. "Sorry, I'm in a rush," and I quickly run towards my hotel room.
"Oh, hey mom," I said laying on the bed watching TV when my mom walked into the cruise hotel room. "Hi, honey. Did you unpack yet?" she said putting down her bag on the white couch next to our small flat screen.
"Yah, can I go to the pool now with Lissa?"
"No, you're grounded till tomorrow remember?" My mom lay on the bed next to mine.
I groaned. "Mom, we're on a cruise and it's summer! Can I just be grounded when we come back from the cruise?"
"Don't give me a headache, Max,"
"Fine, can we have Lissa sleepover in our room?" I crossed my fingers mentally.
"No!" my mom started to become annoyed. "Can you get me some ice and put it in a Ziploc bag? I have a headache,"
I get off the bed and walk over to our little refrigerator in the little hallway in our cruise hotel room. "Mom," I call. "There's no ice in the fridge,"
"There's ice downstairs near the vending machine. It's in like this big gray thing. You open it up and there's the ice. Can you get me some please?"
The things my mom makes me do for her. I rolled my eyes and said, "'Kay,"
I take my hotel card and leave the room. I rubbed my temples. My head hurt from the fall when I hit the boy. I go down the stairs thinking that the elevator would just waste my time and walk down the corridor of red and golden carpeting and many, many doors. I take out my iPod from my pocket and put on my headphones, listening to my music. I turn around the corner in the middle of the hallway and in a little space were a soda machine and a big, gray ice-lined refrigerator. I grab one of the clear plastic bags that were in the basket on a plastic table and put ice into it.
I walked back the corridor. Ew, Jar of Hearts. I take out my iPod with my available right hand and change the song. "AHH!" I screamed. I landed hard on the floor on the ice I had in my hands. All the air was knocked out of me. I struggled for a bit of air and I yanked my headphones out and shout, "Watch where you're going!" I look up. It was the boy I ran to earlier today. "You again?"
"Sorry," He reaches his man hands out to me.
"I can help myself up," I coldly said. Why do I keep running into this boy? I get up and push him back.
"Okay," He pulled back his hands to the sides of his ear. "Just trying to help,"
I picked up my iPod and put the bag of ice on my head. My headache had gotten worse. "Thanks a lot. My headache's worse,"
"Your welcome," He laughs.
I roll my eyes.
"How about I make it up to you," he says.
"How?"
"Ummm… I'll take you the arcade,"
"Do I look like a child to you?" I said sarcastically.
"In fact-"He started.
"Don't make me make you fall,"
"Kidding. By the way, I'm Fang. You?"
"Max," I started to rub my temples.
"Cool. So do you want to go to the arcade tomorrow night, Max?"
What? I just met him. I like ran into him like two times and now he's asking me to go to the arcade with him? Of course I won't go, but what would be the fun of not going. "We'll see. What time?" I asked.
"6:30,"
"'K. We'll see," And I walked back to the hotel room.
