I slammed the car door after giving my mother one last glare full of loathing before taking my luggage out of the trunk and dragging it behind me towards the large group of completely unfamiliar teens standing on the dock next to a large sailboat.
I hated my parents. I came home from boarding school only a couple days ago, and already they're sending me away. Not that I didn't expect it. My parents have never really cared for me, the wanted a super manly 'Let's go camping in the bush for three weeks' kind of son…and they got me instead, sparkly, and obviously gay…a disgrace to the Bane family, in their opinion.
They didn't care that I was actually quite a good kid…I got decent grades, I was artistic and talented, and I listened to them when they talked to me. I hardly ever agreed with them, but still I listened.
So here I was about to go on a boat trip with a bunch of other kids for the whole summer. My parents said I should get some fresh air, and get out in nature a bit, it would apparently build character. Ha, yeah right, I know that they just don't want to deal with me.
I set my luggage on the dock and looked at the other teens, as they looked back at me. There were a lot of obviously excited 'I begged my parents to let me come' kids, as well as a bunch of kids that looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. Only a few of them really stood out in my mind, two teens who had dark blond hair with dark blue streaks and hazel eyes, one boy and one girl, both wearing lots of makeup, cool clothes and crazily happy expressions, they appeared to be twins, and I was sure we'd become friends. The other person who really stood out was an awesome looking guy with black hair and the brightest most amazing blue eyes I've ever seen. He seemed really unhappy to be here and was wearing the ugliest clothes I've ever seen, full of tons of holes and hideously faded. He was standing next to a girl who appeared to be his sister, maybe a couple years younger, and looked to be the complete opposite of her brother style wise.
"Ok kids! I'm Bob and I'm going to be looking after you this summer! Take your luggage and bring it on the boat!" said an overly enthusiastically guy with reddish hair who seemed to be in his twenties. I can already tell I won't like this guy; he treats us like little kids and name is Bob. Not that I have anything against people named Bob, but really, come on, Bob the Boater, wow.
Me and everyone else pick up our luggage and drag it onto the boat.
"Alright, so kids, how about we start by telling each other our names and a bit about our selves, I'll go first," Bob says. "So I'm Bob as I told you, and I've been a boating instructor for a few years now. Ok, now it's your turn!" Bob points at the girl next to him.
I listen to all of the kids go before it's finally my turn. The twins are named Summer and Zack, and the guy and his sister are named Alec and Isabelle. "Ok," I start, "My names Magnus Bane, I don't really want to be here, but my parents, who I absolutely can't stand signed me up for this. I'm gay. If you don't like me, just know that I make a really bad enemy," I told everyone, and then added randomly, "And I really hate camping."
Most of the kids had huge smiles on their faces and were obviously trying not to laugh, Alec just stood there doing nothing. Bob looked pretty shocked and seemed to not know what to say, but finally decided on, "Uhhh so now that we know each other I'll let you guys have a look around the boat and choose your rooms."
So what did you guys think of that? I wanted to write something slightly more serious, but still slightly funny at times…Since my last story was so random and pretty easy to write.
I know that Magnus is pretty out of character, but really, his parents just dropped him off with a group of people he's never seen before, and so he's pretty angry and upset. You would be too haha. I think he'll be more Magnusy in later chapters…
Oh and it's just Magnus, Alec, and Isabelle in this story most likely…the rest are OC's….hmm that's funny, same as my last story lol…I guess I'm just pretty Malec obsessed and then I'm like, wait, I need another character so I just pick Isabelle…Wow.
And I don't own TMI! Surprise. Surprise….
review?
