Un Dolce Momento

Day 1: Rome.

After what felt like forever, Summer and her family were finally boarding the ship. She turned on her camera and filmed the entrance which was right next to hers and Leila's favorite place, Sorrento's. She was greeted by crew members as she walked onto the massive ship. The first thing she did was pull out her phone and ring Leila, as she had managed to get on the ship a few minutes before Summer.

"Where are you?" she asked.

"Meet me at the windjammer. I'm on my way there right now to get us a table." There was a lot of background noise.

"Alright meet you there I'm starving" she hung up and walked towards the nearest elevator as she let her parents know where she was going. Both their families had eaten at the hotel's buffet while the girls slept.

Summer finally made it to the table after making her way through a crowd of people trying to get inside. She found Leila and sat down. The table had four seats, and little did the girls know that on one of the other chairs was a purse. Someone had planned on sitting there before Leila took their spot. But Leila had already gotten all of hers and Summer's food.

Just a few minutes after Summer sat down to eat, a girl and two other boys had come over. One of them looked very familiar to Summer, she felt like she had seen him with his family in the line to come onboard.

"Excuse me. This is our table." the girl said in a bratty voice.

"Actually if you couldn't tell we're the ones eating here. So um, it's ours."  Summer replied.

"Actually," she said mockingly, "I put my bag here, so actually it's ours. Go sit somewhere else." she grabbed her purse from one of the chairs.

The boy with blue eyes stepped in, "Rachel, nobody would have seen your bag, let's just go sit somewhere else," he pointed at the other boy who had hair way darker than his.
"Look Matteo already found us a better table, and it has a better view. Let's go."

"Ugh fine," said Rachel as she walked over to Matteo.

"Sorry about that." The blue-eyed boy mouthed to them as he walked with the spoiled brat.

Summer and Leila turned to each other and laughed. They couldn't believe what had just happened to them, their cruise was off to a great start.

By the time they were done eating it was 11 am, and the girls couldn't wait to see their rooms, even though they each had one they were gonna share one because they wanted to stay together. They had announced that the staterooms weren't going to open till 1 pm so it was going to take longer than they expected. After a while of walking around and exploring they decided to go to central park and take some pictures for their Instagrams, it was their birthday trip after all.

400 pictures later it was finally time. They ran up the stairs to deck 10 and found their rooms. They ended up staying in Summers' room since there was a mix-up and her room was the farthest from their parents. They didn't want to worry about having to sneak in and out.

Soon enough it was 2:30 and time for the final rehearsal. Once they finally made it they immediately started making friends with the other girls. There were 9 of them in total. They quickly became friends with the only other one from Tampa, Marissa. They also met a few other girls, some were from California, one from new york, and one from all the way in Washington. One of them was even from Puerto Rico.

After a while of talking, they all went into a room to practice the surprise dance they had set up. Thankfully everyone followed the videos the agency had sent out so all of them knew the choreography.
