The Cruise

Introduction

On my 18th birthday my parent's gift to me was for my siblings and I to go on a two month long cruise ship vacation. It was such a shock at first since they said that they were not coming with us. They said they wanted us to learn to be independent. Since I'm going to college after summer to Oxford to be exact. And my brother and sister are moving out for good to their own houses.

I'm Clara McArthur by the way. I have waist length dark brown hair with some waves, a curvy body and grey eyes from my mothers Hispanic/American side and pale skin from my fathers Irish side, I am also pretty tall I'm 5 feet 7 inches tall. My sister Lorena like me has dark brown hair but hers is very curly and our body structure is also very similar, but she has tan skin and green eyes also two inches shorter then me, she is currently twenty one. Then there is Lewis my older and overprotective brother. He is six foot two inches tall and has pale skin like mine, dark brown hair and grey eyes, he has muscles from his daily trips to the gym, and he is twenty three years old.

We are currently boarding the ship and as Lewis signs the papers I take the time to look around. Many families, elderly, and couples are all around. Kids pulling on there parents hands to show them something 'cool' they saw. Couples making plans on places to stop and check out later.

-Girls lets go we're holding up the line I got the keys move it!

I roll my eyes at my brothers antics. But we still follow him

-Do you know were our room is?

I ask Lewis. He nods and says:

- Yeah the guy said we are on the deck floor and the room is pretty close to the elevator so we should get there quickly.

I nod and we step onto the elevator which is made out of glass so you could see the inside of the ship as you use it. We stop on the 6th floor also known as the pool deck.

I begin to look for the room 225 C and we find its only four doors down from the pool deck entrance. I take the room card key from Lewis and open the room. The're is two king sized beds and a bed that flip's down from the wall. We all look at each-other then dash towards the beds I got to one but Lewis and Lorena got to the same one. She pushes him away and jumps on in yelling:

-Mine! You get the wall bed!

Then stick's out her tongue at him. He pouts and crosses his arms

-But I'm the eldest!

He whines stomping his foot. I roll my eyes at their actions. You'd think they were the children here. I got up and go towards my bags as they continue to fight about who gets the bed and look for my bathing suit. I go to the bathroom and change into my two piece black bathing suit that has a gold color lining. As I step out from the bathroom they were still fighting but not about the beds anymore no they were fighting about who gets to eat the chocolate that was on the pillow's. I put my hands on my waist and raise an eyebrow at then and say:

-So are you guys coming to the pool with me or are you going to keep fighting?

-I'm coming!

Said my amazing sister as she pushes Lewis on the floor with her leg and then rushes to her bag getting her bikini. I look at Lewis who is still on the floor now playing on this phone.

-What about you?

-I'll go later, I'm going to check out that unlimited free pizza.

I chuckle at him as I turn to the mirror and put my hair into a pony tail as I tell him:

-There is also free ice-cream dude!

-Seriously?! I am never leaving!

I laugh at him and Lorena comes out of the bathroom with her hair also in a pony tail and winks at me, then says:
