Chapter Four
The Best Night
Caleb and I actually had a lot in common. His favorite author was also Jerry Spinnelli. He had two younger sisters. I told him that I was an only child but wished I had younger sisters. He wished he was an only child.
We talked for a while that night. Everyone else had gone of to the lobby but we walked around the ship (probably like ten times). The water was beautiful that night. We talked about some of Jerry Spinnelli' books he hadn't read Stargirl and I let him borrow my copy. We probably went back to our separate cabins around ten o'clock. Amy and Lucy and a couple others were there. The rest were still in the lounge or roaming around the ship deck.
Lucy had already showered and her shiny blonde hair was pulled back into a bum on the top of her head. Amy's orange hair was flowing down her back loose she had also taken a shower. I gathered some shampoo, conditioner and some clothes to change into and headed towards the bathroom. There were three stalls to use the toilet and four basins with a mirror hanging above each on one side and the other side held four showers. Three of them were empty one was full. I took the second one from the left and started running the water. It was freezing outside since a cold front had come through and the warm water felt good against my body. I washed my hair and put on some clothes. Then went over to the mirror and brushed my hair out (I hated combs). I then put it up into a sloppy bun to keep it from falling on my shirt and getting my shirt wet.
Lucy and Amy were talking on Amy's bed. I swiftly walked past them and sat on my own bunk and pulled out "Love, Stargirl" the new sequel to Stargirl. When Lucy trotted over to my bed and sat down next to me. Amy must've gone to the bathroom because I couldn't see her anywhere.
"So did you have fun with Caleb? He's nice we've been friends for a long time."
"Yeah he is kinda cool," I muttered under my breath not paying any attention. I turned the page of my book and Lucy went up to her bunk and said goodnight. By 11:30 I was still reading the lights were out but I still had my book light. Turns out hat Love, Stargirl was a very addicting book.
