It was now midnight and my three best friends were still not back from the aquarium. I tried calling their cell phones, and I did this several times, but I had no luck. I even texted them and got no reply, which shocked me a lot especially since Alli checks her phone repeatedly every few minutes. I even started to get a little worry considering I had no idea where they were. But I soon forgot about it and just decided to just sit back in the little living room and watch TV, since I wasn't too tired to go to bed for once.
I flipped the channels with the TV remote trying to find something descent to watch. Since there was nothing interesting on, I just ended up turning on some cooking show that I could honestly care less about.
While watching TV, I started to doze off into a sleep. As I closed my eyes I reflected on how awesome my day was with Eli. Today couldn't have been better. Everything about Eli was just so…perfect, or at least it seems that way to me. Eli and I really hit it off and I starting to fall for him more and more every minute I was with him. I couldn't believe he lied to me just to see if I actually liked him. In a way I found this kind of weird and creepy, but then again, it was incredibly sweet. I mean, I'm here, on vacation, and I found a guy who likes me. Right now, my whole world seems so…carefree, which is how I act whenever I really like someone. I forgot about all the things around me and just focus on that one person who makes me feel happy, which in this case is Eli.
This has rarely ever happened to me, someone who makes me feel very happy. I never have really felt this feeling before, I mean, I've dated a few guys in the past so it's not like I have never not been liked, but…I don't know, something about Eli just seems different. He seems like the kind of guy who could possibly love me one day and-whoa, I'm getting too ahead of myself. Eli can't possibly love me when we've just met. But that's just how I am; I get my hopes up very high sometimes. I've never really had a guy love me before, so whenever I get into a new relationship I always think he'll someday love me forever. Which, has obviously, never happened. But I can dream, right?

I woke up a few hours later to a bunch of laughing and yelling. I then realized I had fallen asleep on the couch while the TV was still on. I looked at the clock at it read 2:46 AM. I rubbed my eyes and turned around to find my three friends walk through the door of the suite.
"Clare! You're still awake!" Alli asked in a very piercing tone.
"Uh…no, I was sleeping," I replied, "Well, I was sleeping until you guys walked through the door and woke me up."
"We had the best time at the aquarium!" Drew shouted.
"Yeah, it was the bomb! You should've been there!" Adam screeched, "Yeah, and afterwards we even went to this awesome nightclub and…and…we partied all night long!"
Where they drunk? I'm going to go with a yes…
"Have you guys been drinking?" I asked.
"We might've had two…five…or fifteen drinks of something," Drew slurred.
"I think you guys should go to bed. Get some rest and get ready for the biggest hangover ever when you all wake up," I said as I ushered my three best friends into their bedrooms.
I finally got them all into their beds and I ended up going back to the couch to sleep. If you ask me, the couch seems way more comfy then the bed. Besides, it seems like I also fall asleep quicker on couches…weird, right? Yeah, I'm weird like that.

I was the first one out of my friends to wake up the next morning. I had to eat breakfast in the lobby by myself since my three friends were still sleeping. I mean, I would've woken them up, but, I chose to just let them sleep off all the fun they had last night. When I arrived back in the suite my friends were all still sleeping and since I had nothing else to do, I decided to go swimming in the hotel pool since I had yet to swim in it since we got here.
The pool was amazing, it was filled with tube slides and waterfalls and it even had a wave pool, which I love the most. I spent about an hour and a half in the hotel pool until I got out. I would've stayed longer except for the fact that I was by myself and not with any friends, so I felt kind of lonely, which I was.
"Are you guys up yet?" I asked, making sure not to raise my voice to loud as I walked into the suite. Nobody replied, which I took as they were still fast asleep. I looked over at the clock on the wall and it read 12:13. "Well, if any of you are up yet, I'm going to go out somewhere for lunch!" I felt weird for saying that as I was pretty much talking to no one. I grabbed my purse from the kitchen table and headed out the door.
I didn't exactly know where I was going all I knew was that I was glad I was doing something instead of lying on the couch watching bad TV shows. Since I wasn't in the mood for walking today I decided I'd just take the free limo we had won for the entire summer. I mean, it was pretty much the best limo I've ever seen and I didn't have to drive, so why not take it?
When I got into the limo I told the driver to take me someplace with good food, since I was starving. He told me he'd take me to the finest restaurant in town, and I accepted even though I had no idea how good the food actually tasted. While waiting in the limo I had the radio on full blast and I turned on the TV, even though there was nothing to watch. All of a sudden, my phone beeped so I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that it was a text from Eli:
Hey! Are you doing anything today? Cause I was wondering if you wanted to hang out.
I giggled and replied:
Sure, I'd love to! I have nothing to do anyways, since my friends are sleeping all day.
Eli replied:
Sleeping all day? What did you do? Give them some sleeping pills?
I replied:
Haha it's a LONG story…so, where do you wanna go?
Eli replied:
Have you ever been bowling?
I replied:
I love bowling!
Eli replied:
Great cause there's this bowling alley on west madison street. Meet me there?
I replied:
Now?
Eli replied:
Yeah now!
I put my phone in my pocket and yelled out, "Sylvester! Change of plans, I was wondering if you could take me to the bowling alley on West Madison Street, do you know where that is?"
Sylvester answered, "Of course, no problem Ms. Edwards."
I smiled. "Thanks so much Sylvester!"
"Anytime darling."

Sylvester pulled up to the bowling alley and opened up the door for me as I got out of the limo. "Thanks again," I said.
"It's my job child, no need to thank me." Sylvester said as he watched me walk into the bowling alley.
When I walked in I looked around the bowling alley and realized how enormous it actually was. The room was dark, but was bright at the same time. By that I mean, there were strobe lights flashing the room and the walls were covered in multicolored lights; it was pretty cool.
"Clare!" I heard a voice call out to me. I looked around and tried to find where the voice came from, but it was a little hard since there were a ton of people in this place. "Clare, over here!" I heard the voice again. And I turned around and there stood Eli. "Whoa, finally found you."
I laughed. "I know, this place is so big. I'm getting lost just looking at it."
"Here, follow me I already have our game set up,"
"Really?"
"Yeah, and I want you to meet a few of my friends,"
"Friends?"
"Yeah, I hope its ok but I brought along a few of my buddies to come play with us,"
"Oh, it's ok. It's cool…"
"You don't seem too excited." Eli stopped us from walking.
I shrugged. "No, it's fine Eli, really,"
"I'm sorry. I feel like such an ass. I should've asked you first,"
"Eli, it's alright. As long as you're here I'll be having fun," I grinned.
Eli smirked. "Great. Now c'mon, we need to get you your shoes and a ball before we start."

After I got all the stuff I needed to bowl Eli and I walked to our bowling lane. When we got there I was introduced to Eli's friends.
"Clare, I want you to meet my friends," he said pointing to them. "This is Fitz and Bianca."
"It's nice to meet you two." I said as I flashed a smile at them. I looked again at Eli's friends and realized that the three of them all had one thing in common…they all loved the color black. I then realized that Bianca was sitting on top of Fitz which gave me the impression that they were dating. They also seemed flirty towards each other so I just guessed that they were in fact a couple.
"So…are we gonna bowl or not?" Bianca barked.
"Of course, Fitz you're up first." Eli replied.
I looked over at Eli and he smirked back at me. Ah, how I love his smirk.
So that's the end of chapter seven and I hope you all liked it. It was kind of a filler chapter as you can tell but I promise next chapter there will be more drama. Yes, drama is coming your way…
Please review! Thanks so much for reading.
