NEW EXPERIENCES (The Caroline Chronicles)

Chapter 2: He's The One

After setting all our stuff into the little wardrobes, Stef and I wonder around the enormous ship, trying to visit every deck, so that we get familiarized with the place and, most importantly, with the people.

"Ouch!" I shout loudly, after my cousin gently squeezes my forearm. I look at her, with a "WTF?!" face and I notice that her large emerald eyes are glued to one person. A boy. Big boy indeed. My eyes scan his perfect tanned body. His white t-shirt almost exploding due to his built chest and back. His brown messy hair combine his eyes and tanned face. This boy is god in person.

"He's the one" I whisper next to my cousin's ear, making sure that no one else listens, and she immediately gets what I try to communicate.

A few months ago, when our grandparents told us about this trip, we had been discussing. We talked about the ship and its parties and, after a few discussions, we finally made an agreement. I was going to make-out with someone, for the first time in my life; and he needed to be sexy like hell for him to be my first. So, right there I was. Looking at "the one". Stef had promised to make-out with someone too, but she wanted mine to be unforgettable.

So, here I stand. Looking at "the one". Instantly, I know. I fight the desire to go and talk to him, but sadly, I will have to wait for the party tonight.

After exchanging glances with the mentioned god, we arrive to the theatre, where we get together with the rest of our family, and watch today's performance.

Later on, leaving the Theatre, which, by the way was amazing, we go straight to our room, where we find a little "Welcome" note from our cabin service man, Alfred. Once again, we switch on the music, with the volume as loud as possible, and start jumping on the bed, earning a few complains from our room neighbors. However, that doesn't stop us from having our exclusive little room party.

After taking a shower, putting some clothes on, and applying some foundation on my face to cover imperfections, we go to our assigned restaurant, where we meet the rest of our family, and have the largest and delicious meal I've ever had in my entire life.

After eating almost all the options in the menu, which most of them are Pasta, since we are on an Italian cruise-line ship, we leave the dinning table and decide to go to the one place we've been longing to go for so long.

Stef and I flop down the stairs, towards the D'luna Disco on deck 11, without knowing what to expect from it. We have no clue of the way Italian teenagers dress, or the type of music they play at parties. For a second I doubt on changing my outfit, since it seems too casual for a party, however, I don't want to seem too dressed on my first night here, so I keep on going.

As soon as we approach the place, the electro coming from the other side of the door in front of me invades my body, making me immediately active and desperate for heavy partying. This usually happens when I arrive to parties, since I am kind of a soul clubber, and so is Stef. As soon as we enter the disco, in party mood already, the atmosphere exceeds my expectations. The first thing I do is follow Stef to the bar at the back of the room to get this party started.
