Chelsea's POV
I filled in the form with the ridiculous pen so that I could actually get on board of the ferry, I was quitting from the university in the city to live a new life on a group of islands. Of course I had to say goodbye to my parents and my best friends Ellie and Trent but my other best friend Luke decided he would come too, just so I wasn't alone. We loaded our bags onto a trolley then handed it to one of the men taking them- yes it was that posh! I had paid a lot of money so we would be travelling in comfort, it would take about one week to get to our destination so I needed my comfort. I was a normal city girl, concerned about my looks, particularly my hair. Every night I tended to my natural curls using anti-frizz conditioner and sometimes straightening it, Ellie always complained at this saying that my curls were beautiful and that I should leave them alone. I laughed at this, I mean I always saw Ellie attempting to sneak into my room to get at my hair products; I had them along with my most beautiful clothes packed into my big suitcase. We were led along to our rooms by a lady wearing a short, black dress, Luke looked happy that she was leading him so I gave him a nudge with a stern look on my face. He looked down in shame, I think, but he could have just been looking at her legs.
The rooms that we picked were adjacent to each other and they looked so frigging posh, they were an en-suite so that made them look amazing compared to the rubbish dorm that we used to live in.
"Woah, this is so flipping posh, how much did we bloody spend on it?" Luke was in the dorm at university with me, Trent and Ellie but he took no notice of his surroundings.
"I took the money out of our shared jar, Trent and Ellie probably only just found out." I laughed as I saw Ellie and Trent run up to the dock. Ellie stuck out her two fingers at us, she waved after that whilst Trent shook his head at her. Ellie punched him on the shoulder then he waved to us out on deck. I laughed at them then waved back, Luke joined me in waving then as we watched our best friends disappear under the horizon.
"Right what are we going to do? Let's have some fun!" I questioned then finished in excitement.
"Ummm, I don't know. How about we booby-trap the showers?"
"Ok, I'll get the hair dye out of my bag." I ran towards my cabin at the end of the ferry where the sun was setting, and got out the hair dye I kept for pranks.
"I've got it Luke!" I shouted as I sprinted out of my cabin.
"Shhhh not so loud! Come on let's go."
We walked over to the showers and gently put the hair dye in the free shampoo, and poured the normal shampoo over our hair then we rinsed it under the shower with only our head sticking in the shower. We then went over to our cabins to unpack, I decided to go visit Luke so we could see if our prank worked. When I walked in he was asleep- his head on the couch, his body slumped on the floor.
I walked out without him but carrying my iphone so I could take pictures. I walked over to the showers and saw a girl crying, she had blue curls tied up into a high ponytail, we had put in blue hair dye so I could see our results.
"Hey, are you ok?" I asked.
"Someone booby-trapped the shower and put in hair dye." She sobbed.
I looked down in shame and she saw this look, "Was it you?" She asked quietly.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't think someone as pretty as you would get it. Anyway my friend has blue hair..."
"But I don't want blue hair!" She wailed, interupting me.
"Hey look I will go get you some more, what is your natural colour? Oh and what is your name?"
"I'm a blonde and my name is Julia. I will come with you so I can tell you the right colour."
"I'm Chelsea." I smiled at her.
We walked into Luke's room where he had the normal colours of hair dye.
"This is Luke, one of my best friends." I pointed over to Luke where he was still asleep.
She giggled, "He is cute ever thought of you and him being more then friends?"
"No!" I continued, this girl was quite nice so I was fast making firm friends with her.
I picked up a shade of dishwater blonde and she shook her head, I then took out a shade of golden blonde and she nodded her head excitedly, "This is my shade! Let's go to the showers!"
We went over to the showers and I stepped in to the room, it was filled with a loo, sink and a shower. We went over to the shower and I passed her the hair dye and the gloves that came with it. Luckily her hands weren't stained because we had left gloves there as if you needed them for the shampoo. I put down the toilet seat then sat down to wait for her.
"Lala! Oh I thought you had gone Chelsea. Thanks for staying, what do you think then?"
Her blonde curls were now loosened around her shoulders she must have been combing and styling it.
"Woah! You look absolutely beaute. So is this your natural look?"
"Yeah, so ummm well I was thinking in the shower that it would be cool if you were going to the same place as me. I'm going to the Sunshine Islands"
"Hey me too! Wow! That is so cool." I replied.
"Well then I will go introduce you to my boyfriend and his family also my family. Ok?"
"Ok!"
We walked over to two different cabins, and she introduced me to her boyfriend, "Hi Elliott baby!" Julia called out.
"Hi Julia, who is this?" He said sounding a little rude.
"Oh, I'm Chelsea I met Julia after she had a shower." I said looking at Julia a little uncertainly wondering if she would tell them, she just smiled signalling she wouldn't tell them so I continued, "I'm heading to the same place as you lot." I smiled hoping to make myself seem like a nice person and my smile was returned by everyone. They all introduced themselves: the old man was named Taro, the middle-aged woman Felicia and the two twins Natalie and Elliott, I learned that Elliott was a few minutes older then Natalie though Natalie acted as if she was older than him.
Julia then kissed Elliott goodbye and took me over to her cabin to introduce me to her family, she actually only had two members of her family with her, "Hi mum, hi Vaughn! This is Chelsea she is my new mate, we met outside of the shower and she is coming over to Sunshine Islands as well with her friend Luke."
"Wow! That is cool did you take her over to see Taro and co?"
"Yes mum." Julia replied.
Vaughn raised his newspaper and ignored us all, "I'm Mirabelle sweety." The lady said.
"Ok."
"Vaughn introduce yourself, Vaughn. Vaughn! Now please!" Mirabelle shouted over at him.
"You have said my name a million times so I think that she knows." Vaughn replied in response to his aunty.
"She has actually got a name." I said showing my short temper.
"Well I didn't hear it." Vaughn replied lowering his Stetson hat.
"It is Chelsea."
"My name is Vaughn. Alright!" He replied angrily.
"Yeah fine but you better get used to being a nice boy around me. See you later Mirabelle and goodbye cowboy." I walked off dragging Julia along with me.
"And good riddance!" I said as we left the door.
"Wow, you really told him!" Julia said admiring me.
"Yeah I guess I did." I beamed at myself as we walked back over to Taro and co as Mirabelle called them.
"Hi guys." I said as we entered the room.
"Hi Natalie and Elliott are upstairs if you want them." Taro informed us.
"Ok thanks Taro" Julia thanked him as she led me upstairs to their room.
"H-hey!" I stammered.
"You don't have to be so nervous you know, it is fine just relax." Elliott said pushing his glasses up his nose and smiling.
"Yeah it is fine; I guess we will be going to the same island anyway so we should make friends." Natalie surprisingly said.
"Oh ok." I said as Julia dumped herself on the floor and Natalie threw some magazines at her so I copied her and did the same thing Natalie threw me some magazines as well as a smile so I threw one back at her. I watched as Elliott pretended to read a car magazine before taking quick glances at me, I whispered this to Julia who passed it onto Natalie with a giggle.
"Enjoying that magazine, Elliott? What is it about?" I asked so he could prove that he wasn't looking at me even though he was.
"U-ummm it is about ummm cars, it is quite good you can borrow it if y-you like."
"Ok." I chuckled.
We read magazines until Natalie started yawning so I and Julia suggested we go home and meet tomorrow. So I went back to Luke's cabin to see what he was up to. He was chatting up a lady which I finally realised was the lady from earlier who was wearing the short, black dress.
"Hi Luke, oh I am Chelsea. Luke's best friend and I'm only friend so don't worry."
"Oh ok, I am Lanna."
"Oh you're that popstar from that music video aren't you?" I replied.
She blushed, "I-It wasn't me who wanted to do that video. It was my manager..." She looked down in shame. Her music video had men drooling all over it and my ex-boyfriend from the university had it on replay all of the time.
"It is ok, Luke be a good boy now. Oh and by the way I have found a friend who is coming to Sunshine Islands with us, she saw you asleep." He blushed as I giggled and went into my own cabin to leave Luke and Lanna alone, they actually looked pretty cute together. I then settled down to sleep in my soft bed that was neatly set out for me.
