“Dad, I’m going down to the pool!” I called out over my shoulder as I slid my feet into my thongs.
“Can you take, Josie with you?”
“Seriously…” I groaned, I hadn’t come on this summer vacation to babysit a 9-year-old while my dad sits down and watches T.V.
“Just take her; she isn’t going to bug you. I’m sure of it” he replied. I sighed knowing there was no chance I could get out of this. I looked towards the front door of our holiday apartment and saw Josie standing there in her swimmers and with a towel all ready to go. I turned towards my dad, who was now standing behind me, and offered him one of my you owe me looks.
We left the apartment, jumping in the lift; we made our way down the ground level. As soon as the doors were opened Josie had run off in the direction of the pool. If she were with anyone else, she would have been told off her running in their on her own, but seeing as she was with me and I was in no mood to cooperate, I didn’t care. It was my second day of summer vacation and I just wanted to relax.
I found that the pool actually had a few people who looked around 17 just relaxing by the edge, all engaged in conversation with each other and a bunch of younger kids splashing about. Josie jumped straight in and was already making friends, as I took my time. I spread my towel over one of the banana chairs and took a seat.
“Hey you!” someone had called out,
I looked up to see who they were talking to, and I noticed a bunch of boys and three girls facing me, “Uh, yeah?”
“What’s your name?” The only blonde boy in the group had asked me, I could pinpoint his accent straight away, he was from Ireland.
“Chantel and yours?”
“Hi Chantel, I’m Niall” He waved, “Come sit with us”
“Oh um, okay then” I got up and made my way over to take a seat by him. As soon as I sat down I big wave of water had hit me, I looked up to see Josie with a cheeky grin on her face, I was going to get her.
“Hoe come I’ve never seen you all around before?” I asked politely,
“We usually all travel some place a little further but we decided it was time for a change and all came here instead, are you here often?”
“Yeah,” I nodded, “I come every year for the summer holidays”
“That’s great!” He smiled, “we are here all summer too!”
Niall speaking a little too loud caught the attention of everyone else in the group. They didn’t seem too happy with what they heard, as if he were going to let some outside in on their little group. I shifted uncomfortably, looking away from their gazes.
“Hey guys, this is Chantel” My lifted my head to the sound of my name, “Chantel, this is; Zayn, Harry, Louis, Liam, Danielle, Perrie and Eleanor”
“Hey” I said and in return received a bunch of hello’s and hey’s.
Not knowing what else to do, I slipped off the edge into the water and swam over to my little sister. “I am so going to get you back” I told her and with that the war was on. The group by the edge weren’t too happy except for Niall who jumped straight in along with the bunch of younger kids who were now joining in.
A few hours had passed since the little hour at the pool and it was now dark outside, my mum had come back and cooked dinner, my dad was now asleep on the couch and Josie and I were watching a few episodes of SpongeBob, don’t blame me… there was nothing else on.
I am someone who will lose focus really easily if I am not into something, and SpongeBob was one of those things. I grabbed a light cardigan and decided I’d get some fresh air and sit on the balcony. It faced the beach, which I couldn’t see right now but I could hear the sound of the waves crashing against the shoreline, a sound which always seems to relax me.
“Chantel” I heard my name being called, I looked inside thinking it was my dad, “Up here”
I looked up and could see a familiar looking blonde boy on the balcony above me, “Niall?”
“Yeah, who knew I was staying right above you” He laughed,
“Obviously not us” I answered back
“Hey, I know my friends weren’t so welcoming this morning and I spoke with them, in a way of saying sorry I am inviting you to come with us tomorrow”
“Uh, thanks Niall. But where exactly are you going?”
“We have a boat that were going out on, do you wanna join?”
I took my time thinking of an answer but finally decided it wasn’t such a bad idea.
“Great,” he shouted down, “I’ll meet you tomorrow at eleven sharp in the lobby.”
I smiled stupidly at myself as I watched him disappear back inside.
