Italics are the character's thoughts

Bold are the narrative words

CHAPTER 1 – SEASICK

Troy Bolten was the son of Jack bolten, millionaire and famous NBA basketball coach. To celebrate New Year Eve, jack had brought Troy and his mum, lily on a five day cruise ship.

"Oh shit!" Troy managed to shout out before vomiting again. He was leaning against the railings at the edge of the ship, vomiting uncontrollably. He didn't believe that he, 17 year old muscular Troy bolten and captain of his school's basket ball team was reduced to a vomiting wreck on a cruise ship. I knew I so shouldn't have come on this ship...

Damn that sea sickness

"Hey are you ok?" a voice full of concern appeared next to him, he turned and saw a beautiful girl with hazel brown hair and black eyes wearing a cute red dress standing next to him.

"Blarghhhhh" Troy vomited again… but this time he felt lucky that he had vomited, whoa… she is sooo cute… phew... I bet I would be drooling at her if I had not vomited …she's so beautiful... … … what the hell? What am I talking about? I don't even know her…

Troy's POV

"I am Troy" I said, offering my hands to the lady. "Gabriella" she said, shaking my hands. "Soooo…. why are you on the cruise ship?" I was curious, she smiled at me and replied "well… my mum decided to celebrate New Years Eve on this ship and dragged me along." Hey… she's in the same situation as me, I hope I can be good friends with her

Gabriella's POV

I cant believed that I would be talking to such a cute guy here on board… and his blue eyes are so mesmerizing……I shook myself out of my day dream to hear him say that he was Troy bolten. "THE Troy bolten?" I asked. "yeah." He nodded his head. Wow im actually talking to the famous Troy Bolten, no wonder he looks so familiar, I saw him on television. He looks much cuter out here than in on tv, I bet my friends at home would be sooo jealous.

NO one's POV

"Umm… you want to grab some lunch?" Troy asked Gabriella, which nodded. Troy than grabbed Gabriella's hand, which made her blush, and pulled her along. Soon they reached a French pizza restaurant. Troy opened the door for Gabriella and said "Wil aan u gou uit met mij?" Translation: Will at you gou from with Me. thinking that he was asking Gabriella whether she wants to go in with him in French

Gabriella burst out laughing and explained "Troy you are speaking Dutch, not French." Troy looked away, obviously embarrassed.

Both of them went into the French restaurant and chosen a seat next to the window

Troy was feeling very uncomfortable, the menu is in French and he did not want Gabriella to look down on him, so he did not dare ask the waiter for the meaning. I will have the "terei o peixe e lascas" Translation: I will have the fish and chips. He said, remembering the name from a cooking show he saw on TV, not realizing that he spoke Portuguese, instead of French

The waiter stood there smiling and said. "Que l'enfer?"Translation: What the hell?

Gabriella laughed at Troy and said "Avrò il formaggio frigge" Translation: I will have the cheese fries.

The waiter figured out that Troy did not know French and decided to have some fun with him. "Je suggère que vous mangez des larves fraîches" Translation: I suggest you eat fresh maggots. "That's what I'm talking about!" Troy shouted. Gabriella was giggling away ahahahaha Troy obviously did not know what he just ordered.

Minutes later, the waiter came back with a big grin on his face and put down a plate with maggots with cheese in front of Troy. "est ici votre monsieur frais de larves apprécie s'il vous plaît votre repas" Translation: here is your fresh maggots sir please enjoy your meal.

Troy looked at his food and at Gabriella who is squealing non-stop with a face so disturbing, it can kill you in your sleep.

A/N Lol I don't feel like explaining how Troy ate his maggots its too disturbing… oh yeah … he enjoyed it
