Ok, so, I'm a little disappointed. Why? Well, last chapter I only got one review when I was hoping for more... I mean, I know you guys don't have to review, but, if I don't get a couple of reviews, it seems like there's nobody reading this story. And I hate writing a story for people who aren't reading it. I'm not trying to sound rude or mean it's just that I was a little shocked that I only got one review on the last chapter. But…I guess I need to stop complaining.

Anyways, please enjoy chapter three. I think you guys are going to like this one.

The next morning the four of us woke up around 9:00 and we then decided to get something to eat in the lobby breakfast area. The breakfast area was literally amazing. It was a buffet and the food was absolutely out of this world. They had the best chefs in Hawaii doing the cooking and it really was just marvelous. The buffet had everything you can imagine that was related to breakfast. The food consisted of cinnamon apple pancakes, all the way to crispy, spicy pieces of bacon. Let's just say I might have stuffed some extra food in my purse for later, that's just how good the meal was. And to think I'll be eating this delectable food every day for the whole summer. Oh my god, yes.

Once we all finished eating we went back to our suite to get dressed, etc. "So, what are we going to do today?" Adam said, as he looked at a brochure of Hawaii. "There's so much to do! We could go rock climbing or scuba diving…oh, we could go to the zoo. Or maybe we could go to the aquarium?"

"I don't care what we do as long as I'm with my girl," Drew answered as he gave Alli a warming hug.

I rolled my eyes. "How cute,"

"Jealous much?"

"Ha, think again, Drew." I laughed.

"I think we should go to the beach. Or maybe the hotel's pool, it's giant and looks totally fun," Alli suggested.

"I think the beach. Let's do it!" Adam said.

I replied, "I would love to go swimming guys, but uh…you know how I get self-conscious about my body and…"

"Oh Clare, c'mon! There's nothing wrong with your body," Alli insisted.

"Yeah, you're hot." Drew added.

Alli gave Drew a fuming look, crossing her arms. "Excuse me?"

"Kidding, kidding," he replied.

"Uh….should I be offended?" I questioned Drew.

"No, no, no. what I meant to say is you're gorgeous Clare. But my heart belongs to Alli." Drew gave Alli a kiss on her head and she smiled in response.

"Oh, ok then?" I replied, still a little confused. "But Alli, I don't really have a good bathing suit. Oh darn, I guess I can't swim,"

"Clare, how bad can it be?"

"It's an ugly one-piece," I admitted.

"Oh. Well…" Alli tapped her foot on the ground and thought for a second before saying, "You can just use one of my bathing suits. Problem solved!"

"Uh…no thanks. Your bathing suits are a bit too revealing for my taste. But thanks for the offer."

"Clare, you love swimming. And I'm not letting you not swim because of how you'll look in a hot bikini,"

"Can you guys just hurry up and get changed?" Drew begged. "Adam and I have been ready for the past five minutes now."

"Here, we'll just meet you guys down at the beach down the street in a few minutes, ok?"

"Fine,"

"Save us a good spot on the beach, ok sweetie?"

"Sure thing, see you guys in a few," Drew said as he gave Alli a kiss.

"I got towels by the way, so you two don't need to bring any!" Adam shouted as he left the room with Drew behind him.

"Ok, so, what bikini do you like better?" Alli asked. She went through one of her suitcases and pulled out a few choices. Pick your favorite!"

"Why did you bring so many bathing suits? I only brought one…"

"Stop trying to change the subject and just pick a damn bikini please!"

I groaned and picked a bikini I liked best. "This one,"

Alli looked at the bikini, then back at me, and then back at the bikini. "I don't think so. This one looks too young for you. Here, this one will do," Alli handed me another bikini which made me groan even more. "This one right here just shouts 'Clare!'"

"You've got to be kidding me. This thing is like the more sluttish bikini I've ever seen."

"Come on! It's just a bright yellow color with a few white stripes. It's nothing over the top. Go put it on and I'll get my hot pink suit that Drew loves so much!"

After putting the suit on I had to admit I did like it. It made me look…good. Hot. But I'm not confessing and telling Alli I like it. The bikini fit me in all the right places the only part that bothered me was the top part, which was a little small for my figure but it was alright. I guess the guys will like it right? Oh god, I'm starting to sound like Alli...

I stepped out of the bathroom and showed Alli. She squealed in excitement as she jumped up in down clapping her hands. "Clare you look incredible!"

I blushed. "Thanks Alli. You don't look too bad yourself," I giggled.

"Are you ready to go to the beach?"

"Yep. Let's go!"

When we arrived at the beach we soon spotted Adam and Drew and walked toward them. I was wearing a cover-up so the boys didn't see my suit right away and Drew asked, "Did you pick out a bikini?"

I nodded. "Yes I did. Thanks to the help of Alli here,"

"Aw, no need to thank me." Alli took off her cover-up and smiled. "Do you like what you see?"

"Oh I do like what I see. Very much," Drew replied as he stared at Alli's body, practically drooling over her.

I wanted to take off my cover-up but I was still too nervous at the fact that I'd be in a bikini in front of my friends and an entire beach of people. C'mon Clare, just be brave!

"Clare, why don't you show the boys your new, amazing bikini?" Alli asked.

"Yeah, let's see it," Drew said.

Somehow I got up the courage to take off the cover-up and stand in nothing but my bikini. It felt weird at first, but then I got more comfortable and relaxed in just a few seconds.

"Oh. My. God. You really should wear bikinis more often…" Adam replied. I slapped him in the arm.

"Shut up. Let's go swim and have fun!" I cheered.

It was now 1:30 in the afternoon so the four of us decided to eat lunch and take a little break from swimming to relax. We ate on our blanket and we also bought a big umbrella in order to block the sun's hot rays. "So, are you guys having fun?" Adam asked us.

We all nodded our heads as we stuffed our mouths with food. "Are you kidding me, this is like the best beach I've ever been to!" I replied, "I'll be right back. I'm going to get a smoothie from the concession stand." I got up and grabbed my purse, only to realize that I left my wallet in the hotel room. "Can I borrow five dollars from someone?"

"Yeah, sure. Here." Alli said, handing me the money from her purse.

"Thanks." I replied, walking toward the stand.

When I got to the stand someone who looked somewhat familiar was standing in line. It was that guy I saw in the airport. What was his name again? Elliot? No. Eddy? No. Eli? Yeah, that was it. Eli. He had on black swim trunks and his hair was a little damp. I stood in line right behind him and I could just feel my cheeks turn a bright red color. I just begged he didn't turn around because then I'd probably collapse of nervousness.

Everything was going good as the line moved and I got closer and closer to the front of the stand. Eli hadn't turned around and I was completely fine. I was just very scared at the fact that he'd turn around I would be lost of words.

Suddenly, my nose just thought it'd be great idea to sneeze. I sneezed and when my eyes opened Eli had turned around looking at me in curiosity. Damn it, why do I have to sneeze so loud?

Eli looked at me (checked me out?) and smirked. I looked into his eyes and they were completely gorgeous and I was completely lost for words…as I said I would be. "You…you were the girl that was at the airport, aren't you?"

I nodded my head. "Uh-huh. That's me," I smiled slightly.

"Are you from around here?"

"No, not really." I giggled.

"Oh, I guess that was a stupid question. Why would you be from here if you got off a plane that came from Canada?"

I laughed. "Are you from here?"

"As a matter of fact I am. I live right down the street with my parents,"

"An only child?" All of a sudden I didn't seem so shy talking to Eli. Why was that? It was like I knew him for years.

"Yep. So, what brings you to the beautiful state of Hawaii?"

"I won a trip here for the entire summer,"

"Oh really? Cool,"

"Yeah, I won this expensive vacation here and I'm staying at the Pineapple Castle with my three best friends,"

"Lucky you,"

"Excuse me?"

"I've heard people say that place is amazing. I've never been in it before but everyone in town talks about how it's the best hotel in the world. I've always dreamt of someday going there but it's far too pricy for my budget."

"Do you have a job?"

"Yeah, I work at the museum on Main Street. Yeah, I'm a tour guide. It's not the best paying job in the world but I somehow manage to live with it,"

"A museum, eh?" eh

"Yeah, it's a really cool place. You should come by sometime,"

"I'd like that. Maybe I will…"

"Next in line!" a voice came from the stand. Eli turned away from me and ordered something.

"What do you want?" Eli asked me.

"Uh, I can pay for myself,"

"No. Don't worry, I'm happy to pay. My treat."

I grinned and said, "I'd like a smoothie please." A few seconds later I had my smoothie and Eli had his sandwich that he ordered.

"Thanks for paying for me. Are you sure you don't want any money?"

"Don't worry about it. It's not that much money anyway,"

"Well then…I'll…see you around?"

Eli took a bite of his sandwich and replied, "Guess you will.

We both parted away from the stand and my face almost hurt from smiling so much while talking with him. He was just so sweet. And his face is so stunning and the way he communicates to me so easily….it's all so remarkable. One thing's for sure…I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Museum here I come.

Once I arrived back to my friends I handed Alli back her money. "Why didn't you pay?" Alli questioned me.

"Oh, uh…someone else paid for me." I responded.

"Who?"

"A guy named Eli. I met him at the airport yesterday,"

"Ooh, tell me all about this guy 'Eli'. What is he? Your new lover?"

I playfully punched Alli. "Shut up."

And that's the end of this chapter. I like how this chapter turned out. I think it's kind of sweet. Ha, anyways, please review. Thanks so much! Chapter four is coming soon. Oh, and warning: next chapter there will be a lot of Clare and Eli cuteness!

READ. IMPORTANT: In this story Adam is not transgender. I'm sorry if that upsets any of you but I did this because if they're going swimming…well, I hope you get the point. Again, I'm sorry if you do not like this, but this is what I'm doing. It's just to make things simpler. I hope you all understand.
