After we got all of our things, the ship set sail and we were off to find our rooms.
"This way, ladies." One man said to us. Each of our rooms were in the same hall. The all had one master bedroom that was huge with a living room, kitchen, and huge bathroom. I was in the room next to Bijou and across to Penelope who was next to Pashmina. The boys' rooms were in the next hall.
After all of my belongings (which weren't much) were in my room, I decided to take a shower. They had a radio in the bathroom and I turned it on. The band was some new one called Hinder. The song was called How Long. I listened to the lyrics carefully.
Why'd
you go and break what's already broken I
can't seem to get my heart over you I can tell you're lying when your lips move She
said she wants to be friends
I try to take a breath but
I'm already choking
How long till this goes away
I try to
remember to forget you
But I break down every time I do
It's
left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him
with you
Why'd you go and break what's already broken
I try
to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look
I can see how you hold him
How long till this goes away
Cause you creep into
everything I do
And now I'm dying to know
How he touches you
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and break what's
already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How long
till this goes away
How long till this goes away
She said she
wants to be friends
I took a big step back
She said
She
said
She said she's sorry
With one finger
I said fuck
that
Cause of
one lie it's not me it's you
It's left me less than zero
Beat
down and bruised
I can't see him with you
Why'd you go and
break what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm
already choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold
him
How long till this goes away
Why'd you go and break
what's already broken
I try to take a breath but I'm already
choking
Cause everywhere I look I can see how you hold him
How
long till this goes away
How long till this goes away
I took a big step back
She said
She said
She said she's sorry
With one finger
With
one finger
I said fuck that
By the end of the song, I had washed off my body and my hair. I got out and dried my hair. I didn't know how long it had gotten or how good it could look. I didn't know what to expect of the people on the ship, they seemed pretty formal. So I got my mothers best dress. A beautiful white one with no sleeves and went down right above my knees. I got our some of her white gloves and the necklace she gave to me. It was a silver heart with my name engraved into it. I plucked my eyebrows and put on some of my mother's make up. I stood back to see how I looked. I looked much better. It was strange not having to look at my reflection from the lake.
I got on some of her shoes (which were a little too big) and walked next door to Bijou's room.
"Hello?" I called in as I opened the door.
"In here, Sandy!" She called from another room. I walked in to her kitchen and she stood there in her mother's best dress. It is baby blue and went just above her ankles. Her shoes were baby blue high heels and she had on silver bracelets and a necklace with a star. Her hair a berets in them. I don't remember her hair being that long either.
"You look beautiful, Sandy! Is that a dress of your mother's too?" She asked me
"Yes, is everyone wearing their parents stuff?" I questioned her
"I believe so. I don't know how the people on this ship act so I don't know what to wear or how to act."
"I was thinking the same thing." I responded
"So, what is going on with you and Maxwell? Something is. I saw him hold your hand." She waved her eyebrows at me.
"We are… all…. like together now." I blushed and smiled
"OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! This is AMAZING! Oh, I HAVE to tell someone!" Bijou exclaimed
"Go ahead, you might as well…" I mumbled under my breath. She pulled me out of her room into Pashmina's, where Stan and Penelope were too.
"SANDY AND MAXWELL ARE TOGETHER!" Bijou yelled as she ran into the room. They stopped their laughter and grew silent.
"What?" Stan asked coldly. Bijou didn't respond. "What did you say!" He boomed. I jumped. I had never seen him so mad. He walked over to me and grabbed my shoulders. "What did she say?" He questioned quietly, looking straight into my eyes.
"M-Maxwell and I-I are t-together now." I whispered, looking at the ground.
"Oh, so it's ok for you to go around and be a slut but I can't kiss my girlfriend?" I yelled at me
"I would hardly call what you too were doing just kissing and how could you call me a slut? I haven't been with anyone and I just had my first kiss today!" I snapped. We argued back and fourth until he slapped me across my face.
"Sandy, I-" He tried to explain
"Save it." I said coldly. I walked out of Pashmina's room into mine. I threw off my mother's clothes and got into some pajama pants and a tight tank top. I threw my hair up into the red ribbon and climbed into bed. Even though it was still light outside, I shut the curtains and fell asleep. Things were better on the island.
