2 - monday

jennie went downstairs to the pool in the hotel. she was quite thirsty. she had only had the smallest cup of water today, and nothing else.

she walked up to the drink area. "hi."

the girl working there turned around. "oh, hello! i didn't see you there!"

as the girl turned, jennie's jaw dropped.

she's so beautiful...

"what can i get you?" the girl asked, with a bright smile.

jennie didn't hear her, she was too busy staring at her to notice.

"hello? miss?" the girl asked, tilting her hand.

jennie shook her head. "i'm sorry, i zoned out. can i just have a... paloma, please?"

"sure!" the girl smiled again and flipped her hair.

as the girl got to work, jennie couldn't help but watch her. she was probably the most beautiful girl she'd ever seen in her life.

-

"here you go!" the girl finally finished making jennie's paloma and handed it to her.

"thank you..." jennie said, keeping her gaze at the girl's eyes, taking the paloma from her hands.

she walked away from the drink area, but sat on a deckchair close to it, so she could still watch the girl.

eventually, another girl approached the drink area and said, "hey, do you want me to take over?"

"oh, thank you, i could use a break."

-

a few minutes later, the pretty girl came out of the drink shack with a glass of iced lemonade, and started looking around, when she met jennie's eye.

jennie managed to pull a smile.

the girl smiled too and to jennie's surprise, she started walking over to her.

"hi again, may i sit with you?"

jennie's whole world stopped and she didn't know what to do for a second, but then managed to say, "sure."

the girl took a seat in the deckchair next to jennie, and sipped her lemonade.

jennie sipped her paloma as well, feeling kind of nervous.

"so," the pretty girl looked at jennie. "where are you from?"

"oh, um, south korea."

"that's cool! how long are you here for?"

"only a week."

"i see!"

the two of them stayed silent for a few seconds, until jennie got more confident and finally broke the silence.

"it's jennie."

"i'm sorry?"

"that's my name. jennie. jennie kim."

the girl smiled. "cool name! my name is lalisa manobal."

jennie turned to her with a confused face. "lali-what what?"

the girl laughed. "you can call me just lisa. that's what everyone calls me."

"okay." jennie took another sip of her paloma.

lisa...

"so, who's she?" jennie pointed at the other girl who took lisa's place in the drink shack.

lisa turned around to look, and then turned back to jennie. "oh, that's pharita. she's kind of new, and i'm helping her out."

"fair." jennie nodded.

-

soon, the drink area started to get a long queue and pharita started to look stressed, washing sympathy over lisa.

lisa got up from the deckchair. "i should go and help pharita. it was nice to meet you! see you around, jennie!"

she ran off.

"yeah, bye lisa..." jennie muttered quietly.

she kept her eyes on lisa. on top of her extreme beauty, she was also kind and friendly.

jennie had never met someone so perfect.
