A week before the infection.
Our plane just landed at the airport in Banoi. I looked up at my older brother, and then to my parents. Today was the first day of our family vacation. I've been looking forward to it all year.
"Excited?" I heard my brother say.
"Very!" I answered, as he chuckled.
We waited until they said we were able to get off the plane. As soon as we were off, a cab took us to the hotel.
"So, what's the first thing you want to do while we're here?" My brother asked.
"Swim?" I answered.
Even though we're only a year apart, we like being together when we're on vacation. He's protective and adventurous, and I'm relaxed and prepared.
"Sounds good." He said with a smile.
As soon as we got to the Hotel, Mom and Dad went to check us in. As soon as they got our room keys we ran to the elevator. Excitement and anxiety rushed through me.
When we arrived to the room, we put our stuff down and claimed beds. I chose the bed closest to the window. My brother chose the bed closest to me, then my mom and dad.
"What are you guys going to do now that we're here?" My mom asked, looking at me.
"Swim." I replied while going through my bag looking for my bikini.
"Same." My brother responded with his hands behind his head.
I got up and went to put on the bikini. I tied my hair back and grabbed one of the white towels that was in the bathroom. As I walked out my brother walked in getting ready to go to the pool with me.
"I'll meet you at the pool!" I yelled to him.
"'Kay!" I heard him yell back as I was already out the door.
I ran down the hallway to the elevator, and as soon as I got to the lobby, I ran out and towards the pool. I found a somewhat shaded spot. I placed my towel on the lounge chair and put on some sun block before getting into the pool. I'll admit there were some good looking boys here. Of course none of them would go for me. I'm athletic, short, and stronger than a guy. Though I had many feminine features. I laid on my back and began to float, just relaxing as the hot sun beat down on me, warming the cold water. I could stay like this for days. I closed my eyes.
A few moments later, I felt someone next to me, though I didn't want to open my eyes, the feeling was eerie. I ignored it though, thinking it would go away. Another couple minutes passed and I felt hands grab my shoulders. My reaction was to kick it, so I did. I heard my brother groan and a few other guys laughing. I opened my eyes to see my brother trying to stand tall, even though it was obvious where the impact was. The rest of the day went good. We swam until nightfall then went up and watched movies in the room. So far, I could tell this was going to be a great vacation.
The first few days went really well. We hiked, swam, sunbathed, partied at the teen club they had on Wednesday nights, slept, and relaxed. Nothing could possibly ruin this vacation.
