Ski Trip Scare
"We're almost there!" 19-year-old Melissa Norris said, looking up from her fashion designer game. She wasn't as creative as her friend, Stella, but tried for Stella's sake. Melissa had straight blond hair and ocean blue eyes, which complemented her lightly tanned skin. She was really into fashion and a bit of a girly-girl. She was brave and tough when she had to be. Melissa was the wise one of the group. She always stopped and worked things out, unlike her 18-year-old sister. Jody Norris looked up from he portable TV and said
"I can't wait to hit the slopes," Jody was watching a college basketball game between her favorite team, the North Carolina Tar heels, and the Duke Blue Devils. She had light brown hair and striking green eyes. She was the exact opposite of her sister. While Melissa was more girly and up on the latest trends, Jody was tomboy. She knew everything there was to know about baseball, hockey, football, and especially basketball. She loved watching the Olympics, especially the winter ones. Her favorite winter Olympic game was speed-skating. Her favorite Olympic athlete was Apolo Anton Ohno. Jody was amazing at basketball. She always wanted to act before she thought, so it was a good thing she had Melissa to stop her. Jody looked at her best friend from across the limo. Emily Brooks was a 20-year old tomboy like Jody. She had dirty blond hair and captivating hazel eyes. She was quite strong for a girl. She paused her Ipod.
"Me too," Emily said, referring to what Jody had said about the slopes. Melissa's 19 ½- year-old best friend, Stella Jones, was sitting next to Emily. She had perfect, wavy blond hair, chocolate brown eyes that could melt your heart, and a perfect, slightly tan complexion. She was a little girly, but was brave and tough if need be, like Melissa. She looked up from her laptop and said loudly
"There are going to be a plethora of cute, handsome ski instructors and guides at the lodge, and all you guys can thin about is skiing! I can't believe you!" From the spa in the back of the limo, Mrs. Norris called
"Now girls, I know you're excited. You can do whatever you want when we get to the lodge, but until then, keep it down so we can relax back here." 'We' meant Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Brooks, and herself. Their husbands had decided to stay home. They were going skiing in Colorado. They were staying at Mountain Lodge. It was in the middle of the forest at the bottom of the mountain. It was pretty much secluded.
"OK, sorry Mom," Jody called back. "Well," she continued. "I also can't wait to explore the old mine shafts we read about the Internet. They used to mine for silver, gold, and gems up there."
"Cool. That should be interesting," Emily agreed.
"OMG! OMG! OMG!" Stella shouted. "The Jonas Brothers are going to be there for a month, just like us, staying at the same hotel!"
"No way!" Emily yelled.
"For real?!" Melissa squealed.
"OMG!" Jody screamed.
"Girls, calm down. It's just the Jonas Brothers," Mrs. Jones called. Stella gasped in horror.
"Just the Jonas Brothers, just the Jonas Brothers! They are the hottest band ever. They have four albums, twenty top ten hits, three sold out tours, another tour this summer, a TV show called JONAS, and not to mention how cute they are. Never say just the Jonas Brothers, Mom!" Stella yelled.
"Sorry, dear," Mrs. Jones called.
"You guys should probably get changed. We're going to be there in about five minutes," Melissa said.
"Thanks, Mel," Mrs. Norris said. The girls heard water splashing as their mothers got out of the hot tub.
"Some heiress named Lori Shara is going to be staying at the lodge for a month too," Stella said. She began reading from her laptop. "It says here that she is bringing a very expensive necklace. It has one hundred pearls, ninety sapphires, eighty rubies, seventy emeralds, sixty topazes, fifty amethysts, forty chocolate colored pearls, thirty turquoises, twenty canary diamonds, and ten diamonds. It is set in pure gold with a pure silver clasp. It is worth over fifty million dollars and is worth about two hundred million dollars in insurance money. It is going to be on display in the lobby at all times except when she is wearing it." Stella took a deep breath.
"That's a lot," Mrs. Brooks called from the spa.
"We know," Emily called to her mom. "I wonder what her personality is like. How old is she, Stella?" Emily asked.
"It says she is twenty-six," Stella answered.
"I hate to interrupt, but could we continue this at the lodge?" Jody asked.
"Why?" Melissa asked, confused.
"We're here," Jody answered. Melissa looked out the window and saw the 5-star, 30 floor lodge looming ahead of them.
"Oh," Melissa answered.
I am working on a sequel called "Horror In Hawaii". It is about a kidnapping of one of our. I will probably do one story mostly about each main character. The last one was about Joe. Then I will probably continue with an equal amount from all of the characters. This series will continue when I get chance to publish it. Please read and review my new story when I publish it and thanks for reading.
P.S. I am in the midst of writing a Camp Rock story, which I don't have a title for yet, so put me on author alert please, and a Law and Order: SVU, which also has no title, so again, add me to your author alerts. Thank you so much again to my loyal readers and I hope you review my future stories. Thanks.
