4. Sugar we're going down

Saturday
Today's the day!! The day when I get to get a glimpse into what freedom and independence looks like just with me and my friends.
When I got up I headed straight for the shower before Andrew could beat me to it and spend hours in it. But today that wasn't going to happen.

-Later that day-
"okay hunny im going to miss you and ring me when you're there. Gosh I cant believe im letting you do this.."
"mum, mum, I'll be fine okay but my flights soon so I'll have to go."
"okay bye Lottie, have a good time!"
After we all bid our emotional goodbyes and 'safety' drills with our parents we were off...
Australia..

24 hours. 24 hours, how long it took to get from one end of the world to the other and I have to say it was hell.
I was sat with Chelsea, behind Aubrey and Delilah but who was behind me was the problem.
A little snotty kid who was kicking my chair for the WHOLE flight to Sydney and all I had was Chelsea laughing, at one point I was going to turn around to the kid and hit him.. But because im the nice person I am I decided against it.
That and his dad was a bit of alright and I didn't want to make a fool of myself.

Anyway after getting our bags we checked in at the hotel, and because it was only 2pm we headed for the beach.
So I got my coral bikini and a pair of acid washed shorts and we were away.

The beach was beautiful the sun shone over the sea and as it did so it glistened so brightly that.. "ow!" I screamed as some type of ball or even rock came into contact with my head. "oh my gosh I am so sorry!!" a thick Australian accent said while I was trying to scrape myself off the floor, "you will be bloody sorry when-" then I saw him his bright blue eyes, a neat blonde quiff that was gently steeped back and a dark vest top that complimented him in every way.
"hello? Are you there?" he said with a light chuckle, "oh yea sorry.." he then laughed even more which confused me even more confused. "what are you laughing at? Me falling because of your ball? Yea hilarious" I said rather irritated, "no, no im sorry about that by the way. And because you're apologising and im the one who made you fall" "oh well I can make you fall and then we can call it even?" he was about to answer when I got rescued from the conversation by Delilah, "Lottie we've met- who is this?" del said rather suggestively "erm.." "Luke" he said to fill my sentence "well hello Luke, I will leave you guys to it the-!" "oh no it's fine come on Del lets go" I suggested rather forcefully, "I didn't even get your name!" Luke shouted as I was fleeing "it's Lottie!!" Del shouted back with me punching her in the arm. "Bye Luke" she said in a flirty way again, "yea bye' I said dragging her back to everyone.

-Luke's POV-
Wow. Just wow.
All I could think of when she looked at me just wow. Her bright green eyes looked back into mine and I knew she was special, Lottie what a gorgeous name.
All I could think of was her when I went back to the lads.
"hey man" Ashton said breaking me out of my thoughts.
"hey" I said rather quiet for me, "I see you've met a girl, ooo and I also see you've got a little crush" Mike winked as he was trying to drag it out of me "not a crush just a girl who got knocked over by my ball, that's all" "oh yea" calum said in disbelief, "yea".
"anyway..." Ash said quietly "we've also met some ladies and they are smokin.." "like bacon" mike butted in " yea! Like bacon and we've invited all 4 of them to the barbecue tonight at my place" Ash continued putting emphasis on the '4' but I can't get my mind off Lottie, she isn't just another girl.
