It Was Just A Bet

The Arrival

Justin

"I'll miss you too, mom." I muttered, giving her one last final hug. I was trying my hardest not to roll my eyes.

"You have to call me. A lot. And I will definitely visit at least once during the summer, okay?" 

"Yes, mom, yes." 

"Okay. Be safe and have fun. Well, not too much fun."

"Mom, I'm almost twenty years old! And Kenny is coming along. You have nothing to worry about."

"I know, but I always worry, you know me."

"Yes. I'll see you soon, mom. The plane is boarding."

"Okay, honey. I love you."

"I love you, too." I said, kissing her forehead. She gave me a sad smile as Kenny and I started walking towards the person who checks the tickets.

After our tickets were checked, and before we started walking down the hallway that connects the plane to the building, I gave my mom a goodbye-wave.

"They should be here, soon." I told Kenny, checking my iPhone for the time. 

"Okay, Justin, I'll be in my room if you need me." He gave me a smile and walked out of my hotel room. His was right across from mine.

I sighed and took a seat on the couch. This vacation was going to be hella tight. I invited my best friends since I was young, Ryan and Chaz. We were going to party all the time, and get new girls every day, each one hotter than the last.

But then they tell me that they already invited Pearl to stay with them for the summer, so she has to come along.

So now I have to deal with a permanet girl on this vacation. I rolled my eyes.

I walked to my room and pulled on a tank top and my bathing suit. We were in Hawaii, and I figured after they unpacked and shit, we could go to the beach or something. 

I walked out of my room and back to the main room of our hotel room. We were staying in the biggest suite in this hotel. It has four rooms, one for each of us, a little kitchen, four bathrooms, and a few couches and a television in the main room. The main room is in the middle of everything. Off of the main room are all the doors to all the rooms in the hotel. There's also a little balacony that has a few chairs. I went out there before. The view is amazing.

Suddenly the door opened and I saw Ryan and Chaz dragging a shitload of suitcases.

"Justin!" They both exclaimed. I flashed them a smile and gave each of them that man-hug/guy-handshake thing.

"Hey, guys! How was the flight?"

"It was aight." Ryan said. Chaz shrugged his shoulders.

"Gee, guys, thanks for the help." I turned my head back to the door and did a double take.

A girl, maybe a year younger than me, was walking into the hotel room, dragging two large suitcases behind her. She looked a little frazzled. Her hair auburn hair was tied in a clip. She was wearing denim short shorts and a tight, white tank top. She was gorgeous. 

"Sorry, Pearl, but we had to deal with our suitcases, too!" Chaz said.

"I know." She said, rolling her eyes. Her eyes. They were so pretty. And deep. They were a light, golden, liquid brown. It looked like you could swim in them. 

Pearl tucked a short, stray piece of hair behind her ear before she looked up at me.

"Oh, you must be the famous Justin Bieber." She stuck out her hand. I took her soft, manicured hand in my bigger, band-aid covered one and gave it a shake before dropping it. "It's funny we've never met before," She gave a laugh, "considering we share the same best friends."
