"What is this? Am I supposed to be spending Summer Vacation HERE?" I say without thinking, startling myself with my rudeness.

"Penni Billie Houseman, don't be so rude, what do you say to your Grandparents?!" My mother explodes back at me. Woah, bit harsh there Mum... I look and see that even my Nana and Grandad are taken aback by the unusual anger that my Mother is expressing towards me. This place must be special to her.

"Sorry Mum, I didn't realise this place was important to you, its just a lot different to the kind of holidays we usually go on." Actually, its far from the holidays we usually go on, we have trips to Europe, 22 countries in 3 days and that kind of thing. Not a mountain resort which is home to the Fox-trot. What the hell is a Fox-trot?

We get out the car to be greeted by a dark slimy haired man pushing a balding man I recognise as Max Kellerman. He wasn't in a wheelchair last year at Grandad's birthday Party. I look at Mum and she whispers "Stroke, 3 months ago, don't mention it." I attempt to envolope him in a hug which proves difficult as he can't move his left arm but we manage. I go to the car to get the bags out and I jump as a hand overlaps mine on the handle of Aunt Lisa's suitcase dedicated to shoes.

"Alright there, I ain't gonna hurt ya!" I spin round to see a cute guy in a dirty white t-shirt. Woah, he sure is fine. His blue eyes lap me up as he says "Hey there."

"Sorry I didn't realise there was anyone behind me," and I turn back round to get the case. He's totally checking me out.

"Hey I'm the one with the job here! You'll get me the sack!" He chuckles and moves me aside and picks up 6 suitcases at once. Wow. Now its time for me to check him out. I don't have time to move my eyes and he catches me looking at his broad arms as he turns round. He winks "Catch ya later. Got cases to unload" and off he walks. I lean back against the car and my cousin Sylvia comes over as her car with her two brothers, Neil and Robbie and her parents Aunt Lisa and Uncle Rob has arrived and been unloaded while I was dallying with...oh my God, I didn't get his name!

"Starting already, you cheated cause you got here first" she laughs, joining me at watching him walk up some old concrete steps and I grin back to her.

"He totally just checked me out." I say proudly, adding "Perhaps he has a brother." We both giggle and get called back to our family where I'm supposed to be greeting Neil. So the slimy black haired guy is Neil, I figure as he kisses mine and Sylvia's hand in turn. Ew. I look at Sylvia and we share a glance and I splutter, disguising it as a cough.

The best thing about family holidays is, Sylvia is my best friend. This holiday is looking better already.

The night we met I knew I needed you so

And if I had the chance I'd never let you go

So won't you say you love me? I'll make you so proud of me

We'll make them turn their heads every place you go
