Spencer Jill Hastings was sitting in a bus on her way to Rotterdam with her best friends. The school arranged a trip to the Netherlands because they were sebior year. She deserved this more than anyone else. Her entire life she had to live up to her parents' expactations. And if she wanted to even survive in her own family she had to beat her sister, Melissa in everything. After all she was always the most loved one. Maybe it was because she was the first-born child, maybe because she actually cared about her family's history of succesfull lawyers. Spencer couldn't care less. All she wanted to do was to become a pharmasist. She also wanted to create her own medicines.
Spencer's head was resting on the window. The sun was shining right in het face and she liked it. They landed on Schiphol 3 hours back and now they were on the way tothe city with one of the biggest ports on the world. Of course her friends didn't care but Spencer was a smart ass. Hanna, one of er best friends was all about fashion. Aria, she was shy and Emily was gay.
" Look! " Hanna said and pointed to a sign that read: Welcome to Rotterdam.
The first thing they saw was a big letter R covered in flowers.
" Do you think that Dutch boys are hot? " Hanna asked.
" Gee, I don't know Han. I mean there are a lot of Dutchmen in America " Aria said sarcastic.
" I hear the girls are hot " Emily said and bit her lip. The four of them bursted out in laughter.
" This is like a dream come true. I've never even been outside of New York, forget the United States, this is just awesome. " Spencer giggled.
Her family never really went on a holiday. Her parents were working all the time. There were nights that they didn't even come home. Melissa was living with her boyfriend, Adam. But that was normal. She learned how to live on her own since her first birthday. Her parents were never there for her, but Melissa, that was a whole other story.
" Where were we staying again? " Aria asked, who was seated next to them.
" Well, " Spencer began; she studied the paper in her hand.
" The Hilton hotel, it's in the heart of the city. There are 3 big shopping centres and the hotel is like 5 mintues away of the biggest. "
" Awesome! " Hanna said and clapped her hands.
Just 5 mintues later the bus driver parked the bust infront of the hotel. People dressed in dark green, red unifroms ran outside and waited for us to get out.
" This. Is. Huge. " Emily's jaw dropped.
" let us carry your suitcases, miss " the genuine people offered.
Emily, Hanna, Aria and Spencer were sharing a room.
" Can we like never leave? " Aria asked when she saw their room. When they entered there was a big king sized bed in the middle of the room. The floor was made out of the hard floor. There was a huge closet. The door to the left ended up in another big room with the same bed and the door to the right a bathroom.
Hanna threw her stuf onto the ground and ran to the window. After all they were on the 15th floor.
" This is my heaven. " Hanna confirmed.
After 2 hours they finally got out of their rooms and explored the city.
" Such a shame that there aren't many old buildings left, " Spencer said they were walking down a long street. Hanna was the one with the map, which wasn't good choice but oh well.
" Because? " she snorted.
" Because during the Second World War they bombarded Rotterdam, they were one of the biggest cities back then. How could you not know this Han? Do you never pay attention? "
Hanna sighed.
" Look at that! " Aria daid excited and ran down the stairs to a big river.
" That's the Erasmus bridge, " Spencer said. " Isn't it amazing? "
" Understatement! " Emily said amazed.
They sat down on a bech across the water. The sun reflected beautifully on it and the sky was almost clear. They breathed in clean, fresh air. New air. Aria plucked a red rose and tuck it in her hair.
" This is what I call life " she said and closed her eyes.
They walked passes a huge building with glass walls.
Aria, the curious self she was looked through it.
" I think they are having a swimming contest, " she said and she ran inside. The others couldn't help but follow her. Aria was little but she was quick.
" I don't think this is a contest, they are practising, we should go! " Emily whispered.
" Oh come on, let go meet some dutch boys " Hanna said and followed Aria to the benchess. Emily gave in and took a seat too. They looked at the muscular boys swimming.
" They're not even dutch, they're American, " Emily sighed.
" How can you tell? " Hanna asked, surprised by Emily's knowledge.
" Well first of all, they're not blonde. Dutchmen are like always blonde. Second, the sign says it.
" Oh, "
Spencer tried to make her way to benches but she was busy trying to get her phone out of her purse, which was ringing. The floor was wet and Spencer slipped out. She fell right into the swimming pool.
" oh my gosh, SPENCE! " her friends called out for her.
Her mascara started drooling over her face. She crushed into a swimmer's practise and everyone in the pool started laughing.
" I am so so sorry, " Spencer apologized.
" I wasn't looking and I tripped, really. Sorry "
" It's okay, " the strange boy smiled. Spencer looked up to his face, his bright blue eyes pierced into her very soul.
