Chapter 1

There we were standing. Three little girls who grew up way to fast, ready for their first holiday alone. I'm gonna be honest, I thought it was pretty scary but at the same time I was more excited than a little kid on Christmas. I just knew that this holiday was going to be different. We were going to have the time of our lives. I could already imagine myself lying on the beach with my two best friends next to me, looking out for cute boys. Yeah it was going to be amazing.

"Hey Jazz! Are you ready?" The sound of Elin' s voice woke me up from my daydream. "Yeah sure." I turned to face my mum and saw that tears were welling up in her eyes. I dropped my bags and gave her a big bear hug. When I pulled away I looked at my friends. "Ready?" I asked them while a huge smile appeared on my face. We grabbed our bags and then we left. I couldn't believe that in a few hours we were going to be in LA!

I wanted this for so long and I was finally going to do this. I was sitting at the window seat next to Elin who was singing along with One Direction. Everybody was staring at her but she didn't care. Like always. She was, yeah, she was carefree. And next to Elin sat Toni. I think she was texting her boyfriend Justin. They were so sweet, I couldn't imagine the time when they weren't together and now they would be separated for a long time, one month to be precise. It was a long flight. I wanted to sleep but that kid who was sitting behind me was pouting at my chair and made fun of it. So yeah Sleeping was not an option, so I decided to watch some movies and after a few hours I fell asleep.

After what just felt like ten minutes I heard someone screaming my name and shaking my arm. "Yo Jazz, wake up! We're about to land!" I heard Toni say. Oh no please don't wake me up! "shh just 5 more minutes..." I mumbled and not even a minute later I felt four hands around my waist. Oh no... I immediately opened my eyes to let them see I was awake but they were already tickling me. I fell off my seat laughing so hard and when they finally stopped I saw that everybody was staring at me. Well that was awkward.

There were we... LAX. I was literally shaking. I couldn't believe I was standing here. This was probably the biggest airport I have ever seen. It was so hysterical! After we found our bags we went to the exit and got into a cab. When we reached the hotel I was in shock! This thing is huge! How could our parents afford this? We grabbed our bags and stood still in front of the hotel. I looked at Elin and Toni and saw that they were thinking the same thing. We went inside to check in after we received our key we went upstairs to our room. I ran into the room and jumped on the bed while screaming "This one is mine!"

"You're such a child!" Toni said while laughing at me. I stuck my tongue out at her but then I realized that she was right, I was a child but I liked it so I couldn't care less.

I didn't feel like unpacking my bags so I just grabbed some stuff and went to the pool to get some rest. There was nobody there so that made it easier to sleep a little bit. I took a chair near to the pool and started to listen to some Justin Bieber songs but after a minute or two I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore and fell asleep. I had a weird dream. I was playing in a Disney movie with all of the Disney characters but they weren't nice to me, actually they were really mean. when suddenly I felt wet. Wait, what! Why was I feeling wet? I woke up and saw that the water from the pool was splashed all over me. "What the f*ck? Oh no, not my phone! come on babe, stay with me!" I said to my phone. Yeah awkward, I know. Why was everything wet?

I looked around and saw someone in the pool. That someone was a boy. He came out of the water and ran to me while he almost slipped. "Are you OK?" He asked. "What do you think?" I replied angrily. I took my sunglasses off to look at him as he stared into my eyes. I could feel my anger slowly taking away. He had big brown eyes who were perfect, and not only his eyes were perfect! Everything about this boy was just flawless. His wet brown curly hair, his tanned and muscular body and then that smile. That oh so beautiful smile. He noticed that I was staring and I could see that his cheeks were turning red. Gosh he was so cute!

"Err... it's ok, I’m fine... it's just some water. No big deal!" I said to him trying to stay cool but my red cheeks messed everything up. Just like always... "No it isn't." he replied while smiling again. I could feel my heart beating so hard that he could almost hear it. "I'm so sorry for waking you up and making you all wet! I promise I’ll make it up to you." he said while putting a hand through his wet hair. That was so sexy! Err don't check him out Jazz! I thought by myself. "No really you don't have to." I replied while taking my stuff, I had enough water for one day. I was just about to leave to my room when he took my hand to stop me. "But I WANT it!" he replied while looking at me with those puppy eyes. How could someone say no to that? "Fine!" I sighed while pulling my hand back as I walked back to my room. "So tomorrow 1pm?" he screamed after me. "Yeah sure," I said laughing, not believing he would ever do that. "Pick me up at my hotel room. It's room 365!" I screamed back at him.

I opened the door and saw that Elin and Toni weren't in there, they were probably checking out boys, especially Elin. So I let myself fall on my bed, not able to stop smiling. If he was going to do what he said, I would see him again tomorrow. He was literally the most beautiful guy I had ever seen, but then I realized I didn't know his name. Awesome I was going out with a complete stranger. Well I was happy with it and I would find out his name tomorrow. I closed my eyes and immediately fell asleep.
