**i will be changing things in the story and some things in the plot, also changing some dialogue that I dont remember**



**Hadley's POV**

"Hadley? Hello? Are you even listening?" Claire asks, snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"I'm sorry Ms. Claire, what did you say?" I say shaking my head, focusing on the ginger haired lady.

"Please, Hadley, call me Claire. I've told you this before," She says, waving me off. I nod, following her when she starts walking.

"My nephews are visiting, and I need you to keep them company." She says, walking towards the Innovation center doors.

"What about Zara?" I ask in confusion. Claire sighs and stops walking.

"I feel like they need someone around their age to show them around and have fun with them," Claire explains, looking at me in my eyes. "Also, Zach can be harsh to Gray when it's just the two of them,"

I nod slowly understanding. "I-I don't know Claire, I don't do well with people," I say quietly, looking at my sneakers. I hear her chuckle.

"I'm sure that they will love you," She says, making me look up. "One is around your age, the other is about 13-" She starts to say, but gets cut off by her phone ringing. 

She looks at me apologetically, and I give her an understanding smile. 

She answers it, and nods for me to follow her. I scurry next to her, and soon arrive to the Innovation doors. I take a deep breath, hoping I don't screw this up.

We walk through and make our way to the staircase when a voice calls out, "Aunt Claire!"

She smiles and says into her phone, "I gotta go, my nephews are here," and a couple other things that I don't pay attention to, but to not falling down these ridiculously spaced stairs.

Claire somehow leaves me in the dust, and I slip and fall off the remaining three stairs. I look up and see everyone staring.

"There are ancient dinosaurs here, and you choose to stare at me?" I ask, and everyone goes back to what they were doing.

I groan and push myself to my feet, and scan the room for Claire's ginger hair. I soon find it, and walk up next to her.

She chuckles and looks at me. 

"How was your trip?" I glare at her and she laughs.

"The stairs are ridiculously spaced," I mumble, kicking at the ground.

"Oh yes, boys! This is Hadley, my assistant, and she will be showing you around the park for today," She says, and I notice a boy with shaggy, blonde, curly hair. 

I see him look over to me and I smile. He half smiles back. I look over next to him. 

There is brunette around my age, eyes glued to his phone and headphones around his neck.

"You aren't coming with us?" The younger one asks, looking up at Claire.

She sighs sadly. "No, I have to work," He looks down in sadness.

"But, tomorrow, I get to show you the control room and behind the scenes," She explains, but he stays looking at the ground. "That'll be fun, right?" She asks, nudging his shoulder.

He nods sadly, looking up at Claire.

She hands me an envelope. "This is for food, and Hadley will show you to your room,"

I take it and see the kid looking up from his phone. He's actually..really attractive.

No! Hadley, don't even think about it, I scold myself.

Claire's phone rings, and she looks at her nephews apologetically. 

"I have to go, but I'll see you at 6:00," She says, slowly walking backwards.

"Oh no, don't forget about the thing," I remind her. She nods.

"Right, I'll see you two at 8:00, Hadley will take good care of you!" She yells, before walking off and answering her phone.

I look over at the two boys to see them already looking at me.

"Right, uh, I'm Hadley," I say awkwardly and scratch the back of my head.

"Which one of you is Zach and which one is Gray?" I ask, looking between them.

"I"m Zach, and that's Gray," Zach points out, sticking his hand out.

I smile and shake it. "Nice to meet you," I say, looking down at my sneakers. I have to break this habit!

I kneel down to Gray's level.

 "It's nice to meet you also, sir," I say in a fake business voice.

He giggles and shakes my hand also. I stand up and straighten out my blazer.

"Right, let's stop by your guy's hotel and drop your stuff off, then we will go do some things alright?" I ask, cocking my eyebrow. Gray nods and takes my hand, running off to the hotels. I giggle as Zach tries to keep up.

This might not be so bad after all.



We walk into their hotel room and Zach flops on the bed and Gray runs to look at the view. I follow up behind him and my eyes widen.

"Wow, you guys have got the best view," I say, looking out on the theme park. Gray nods, and Zach comes up behind me and looks also.

"Wow, you're right," He says, looking down at me. I look up and smile brightly at him, before looking out at the resort.

Gray jumps up and down in excitement. "C'mon! Let's go!" 

I giggle and look at my phone for the time. 

"If you want, we can go to the Mosasaurus feeding," I suggest and Gray nods, taking off again.

"You up for it?" I ask, looking up at Zach.

He smirks. "I'm up for anything princess," He winks and walks out after Zach.

I blink, my face turning red.



"Alright folks, let's see if she's still hungry after feeding today," Marie says, gesturing to the dead Great White being lowered.

I look over to my right to see Gray shaking Zach, who was looking at his phone with a confused look.

I peer over and see, 'Zach, I'm sorry but it's just not working out. We r done.'

I see him shrug and tuck his phone away to Grays happiness. I smirk a little, now knowing he's single.

Wait, WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!

I shake my head, and focus on the show.

"She's a bit shy, so give her a round of applause once she's done feeding!" Marie encourages.

And just as she says that, the Mosasaurus comes up and grabs the Great White whole, splashing me Zach and Gray. I was soaked!

I look over and see them laughing. I eventually crack and start laughing also.

"You guys wanna go see something else pretty cool?" I ask them, and Gray nods.

Zach nods also, winking at me. 

WHAT IS WITH THIS GUY AND WINKING? IS THERE SOMETHING IN HIS EYE?

I internally laugh, as our seats were lowered to get a better view of the Mosasaurs.
