Clare's POV
"There is no way this is going to work," I said shaking my head. In front of me on Ali's dining room table several cell phones and a house phone were laid out all with the same number pre-dialed.
"It has to and it will," Ali said confidently. A couple days ago Ali heard about a radio contest for two weeks all-expenses paid beach vacation. Together Ali and I did more research and found out that the 10th caller would win two weeks in a huge beach house at the most popular and exclusive beach for miles.
"There's less than a one in five hundred chance of us winning," I said trying to be pessimistic. I was mentally preparing myself for Ali's breakdown when we lost. She hit my arm hard. "Shush it's about to start!" Ali cranked the radio to full volume and put one hand on the call button of a phone. I shook my head and did the same. The announcer on the radio called start and Ali and I went crazy pushing buttons on all the phones we could before the voice said they had found a winner. Ali and I froze, completely paralyzed.
"Hello? You are the lucky winner! Anyone there?" The voice wasn't coming from the radio but from Ali's cell phone. We broke out of our shock and Ali grabbed her phone.
"Yes, I'm here! Our names are Ali and Clare," she said into the phone.
"You two have won a luxurious beach vacation to ..." Ali lost it and we both started screaming and jumping up and down.
"I can't believe we won!"
Holly J's POV
I lazily swirled my coffee with my spoon as Fiona went on and on about the new beach house her family had bought. Lately I wasn't able to focus on whatever Fiona was talking about because I was so wrapped up in my own misery. For example, my tragic and messy break-up with Declan or the SATs which were only weeks away.
"So anyways are you in?"
"Huh?" I said. Fiona gave me an annoyed glare.
"Do you want to come to the beach with me or not?" She asked impatiently.
"It sounds great Fiona but ..."
"Then it's settled. We leave Saturday morning." I shook my head.
"Fiona you know I can't. Won't Declan be there? And I have work and SAT tutoring ..." I trailed off, getting stressed from just thinking about all the things I had to do. So much for a fun spring break.
"Declan will only be there for a couple of days and I promise you'll barely see him," she said. I wasn't convinced."Please? You're the only real friend I can invite! It'll be so boring if I have to sit in the big huge mansion all by myself," she begged. I could feel myself giving in. I was about to say no when loud shrieking noises came from the radio. Two sophomore girls just won a beach vacation. They sounded happy and excited. If they could have fun why couldn't I?
"Alright, I'll go."
