-1Chapter 1 Meet and Greet
"You know… I extremely excited to do this" Rosalyn said happily. She was just invited to join a program where kids from different areas of the world, come together and love together for the summer. Her friend Mara wasn't as happy. Rosalyn wouldn't be allowed to talk to anyone else during the summer. She counted on Rosalyn a little too much anyway… but they knew each other since they were 3 and Rosalyn is the only reasons the other girls won't pick on Mara. This is because they respected Rosalyn.
"I just hate the fact that I can't talk to you for the whole summer" Mara muttered but Rosalyn heard it.
"Oh come on Mara, my brother will look after you. He promised" Rosalyn reassured. Rosalyn's brother was who Mara had the hugest crush on. He was already in college, yet Mara was only a senior so he never thought of her much more than his baby sister's best friend. Mara nodded and looked out the window. The rest of the ride was silent except the Rosalyn's parents embarrassing singing to country music.
Rosalyn spotted the sign that spelled her name. "I'm Rosalyn Myers" She said and smiled at the guy in black suit. She put together that he was a limo driver. He grabbed her bag and motions her to follow him. Back in the limo, a business woman pulled her in. Rosalyn caught herself before her chin almost slammed on the seat.
"Sorry bout that" The women had a British accent. And flipped through the folders. The door slammed shut and the car was in gear "And you must be Rosalyn" She smiled and put on her reading glassed.
"Yes. I'm from…."
"Crescent City, California" The lady finished and handed Rosalyn a folder. Rosalyn slowly opened the folder and read on. It was a list of the people in the house she would be living in. "Turn the page" The lady ordered. Rosalyn did and it was a picture of a beautiful kind of estate home. "This is the house you would be living in. There are 5 rooms. 4 would be bedrooms. I'll let you all take care of the roommate status. Now if you turn the page… that's the floor plan. Turn the page again and there is a small bio on each one of the people in the house" Rosalyn scanned and she could help but notice there were all… like models. It made her feel a little uneasy but she hid the feeling well. "Now… if at any point you feel like leaving… you can't because of the contract you signed. The only reason at all for you being able to leave is if one of the members harms you in any way. Do you understand?" The women asked. Rosalyn nodded.
"Do you honestly… think someone would harm another person in this house?" Rosalyn asked cautiously. The women laughed.
"No of course not. We checked out every single person and they have no history of criminal records at all and if they do… we made sure it was harmless" She added that part because Rosalyn was arrested once for a DUI. All the excitement Rosalyn had felt how disappeared and she started to dread as the minute when on. Finally the limo stopped and there were a boy and a girl standing in front of the house. It was beautiful house with different likes of plants everywhere. It was like one of those homes you see in Cribs.
"Thank the lord!" The girl exaggerated. She kissed the sky and shielded the sun from her eyes while she watched the lady and Rosalyn coming up. "Mrs. Flanders… do you understand that when you said 5 o'clock… it means 5 o'clock and not 5:10? I'm sun burned. She complained. When they got in she breathed in a stopped.
"Well I'll let you all get acquainted" She handed out the folders. "Francesca and Roman will be here at night. Please remember they have that disease and can't be out in the afternoon. I'll be by tonight to tell you guys what is expected and things. Now I guess you can chit-chat while I go pick up the others" She waved and left.
"Hi, I'm Melissa Allister" The girl greeted. She held out her hands and Rosalyn shook it. "And this here is Jake Fritz, which I just found out. I think we should just all him Fritz" Melissa smiled.
"Yeah I think we just might" Rosalyn replied. 'Well they are friendly' Rosalyn thought.
"Hey. Only been here a couple minutes and your handing out nicknames. Hmm.. I think I'm just going to call you Alice and um.. What is your name?" He asked.
"Oh.. I'm Rosalyn Myers" Rosalyn said flustered. Fritz made a face then shook his head.
"I can't think of anything" He said and scratched his head. Melissa looked like she was about to say something then stopped.
"Neither can I" She frowned. Melissa was gorgeous. She was auburn haired with full lashed and deep lips that seemed elegant. Fritz or Jake was a darker brunette with a strong chin. He looked like those totally bad boys but appearance can be misleading.
"Hey… lets pick out the best rooms before the others get here" Melissa said and ran up the stairs.
"Oh no you don't" Fritz said and ran after her.
"Hey Rosalyn, You'll be my roommate right?" She called from somewhere upstairs.
"Yeah! Of course" Rosalyn shouted and started up the stairs. Thing were going well right now. Melissa chose the one with the entrance to the roof and Fritz chose the one downstairs directly to the pool. About 2 hours later, three new people arrived.
"Melissa! Rosalyn! Jake! Come down here" Mrs. Flanders called when she got inside.
It wasn't a surprise when the new people also gorgeous. The three before were going through the profiled before the others had arrived. She handed out the folders again and didn't introduce anyone. She left saying she'll be back around 7.
"Hi, I'm Melissa" She automatically greeted. Melissa was already too hyper to control herself. She was glad for the chance to leave her home the British Isle's and join this place to meet new people. "This is Rosalyn and Fritz" She introduced. Rosalyn shook their hands.
"The name is Jake… Fritz is my last name. Alice here likes giving out nicknames" Fritz said. Melissa rolled her eyes.
"I'm Corwin Vertigen" one of the guys said. His hair looked so shiny and soft. It was blonde and silky. He looked like a swimmer or a surfer maybe… but his accent was totally Australian.
"I'm Dana Kara" She too looked like a swimmer. Her hair was blonde and she was very delicate looking. Her movements were fluid like a mermaid.
"And I'm Cal Began" The last guy introduced himself. He was a brunette and looking at him you can tell he was from the city. Sun glasses, Jeans, and t-shirt. His accent says he from the Boston or New York.
"I have an Idea" Rosalyn finally announced after everything was at ease with one another. "Why don't you three go pick out your rooms and meet us in the pool? It's very hot and we have about 3 more hours until Mrs. Flanders comes back"
"That sounds great" Corwin immediately said. He already missed the water. He didn't get to swim here like he wanted. Everyone insisted he took the plane to be safe, incase someone sees him.
"Hey Dana. Why don't you take the room upstairs with us? It can be Girls upstairs and boys downstairs" Melissa suggested.
"Yeah. That would be fabulous" Dana smiled and walked up. She was still getting use to the gravity from the air and everything pretty much seemed heavier above ground.
They enjoyed the afternoon swimming and lounging by the pool. The people bonded of course. Nothing special happened that much until the doorbell rung. Rosalyn went to open the door and there stood the most handsome guy she has ever seen………..
