Tripped

Florida

 

 

       "I'm coming!" I yelled through the walls and closed door, hoping that they had heard me. We were leaving to go on a 'trip' to Florida in less than an hour, but of course me holding everything till the last minute, I had just only started packing. "Danielle Anne Xaine, if you do not come down right now, we will leave without you!" my mom yelled. I hated it when anyone called me by my full name. I preferred 'Dani' or 'DAX'. I shoved the rest of my clothes into my bag, grabbed my laptop and ran out my room. Off to Florida we go.

We've been on the road for about 2 hours now, and it feels like it's been days. I know I'm exaggerating, but I have no one to talk to. I don't want to bother my mom while she drives, for I would rather her keep her eyes glued to the road. I reached for my laptop in the seat beside me and opened it. I figured I could play one of the games I had brought with me. I picked up GTA V and Fallout 4. I didn't know which game I had wanted to play first, so I had thought about it for a minute and went with Fallout 4. I connected with the cars wifi quickly, so I could continue with my game. The game loaded a few minutes later, telling me I could now play my game.

We were only 5 minutes away from our destination, so I put my laptop in my bag. It was almost dead anyway. The car came to a stop. I'm assuming that we are here now. "We're here, Danielle, get your stuff and come on." Mom said. I grabbed my bag and followed my mom. We entered a large hotel, which read 'Hilton Orlando'. I had to admit the place is sort of expensive, but money was definitely no problem. I didn't like to just throw it around like it's nothing though. My mom had walked up to the counter to talk to the man about our reservations. He had a few other workers escort us to our rooms. Yes I said 'rooms'. Mom thought it was best if I had a separate room, so I wouldn't disturb her while she works. It wasn't a big deal; she was only a few doors down from me, if I needed anything. I followed close behind the man that was showing me my room. He was carrying my bags. I had refused, because it wasn't much, but he insisted. We had reached my room and I had tipped him a little more than I should have, only because he was really sweet. I was only returning the kindness. After he had left I decided to go take a shower and explore the city a little bit.

I was now putting clean clothes on, so I could go. I slipped my black ripped skinny jeans on with a with v neck shirt. I decided to go with my black chucks for my foot wear. I looked in the mirror to see if I was decent enough to leave. My hair was naturally wavy, like my dad's. I have never met my dad. The night my mom had went into labor at the hospital with me, my dad was on his way, but someone had ran a red light, and he instantly died. The other person was thrown from the car, due to the lack of a seatbelt. He had also died instantly. My mom did give me a photo of my dad, but that's all I had ever gotten of him. He was a handsome man in the picture. I have my dad's curly dark brown hair, almost black, and his neon light blue eyes. I was a very pretty girl, I knew that. I wasn't conceited.

I walked out of my room and walked out of the lobby doors. It felt nice outside. It wasn't cold or too hot. My stomach had growled as I was walking along on the sidewalk. I decided I'd stop at place to eat. I saw a little dinner right across the street, it seemed like a nice place to eat at. i walked across the street into the dinner doors. "Welcome, follow me to your booth." the woman said leading me to my seat. "i haven't seen you around here before. Did you just move here?" she asked nosily. "Um.. No ma'am, just visiting." I say back truthfully. "Well it is a great place to visit." she says while handing me a menu. all i could speak was a 'ooh'. I wasn't use to making this much conversation. "Uh, could I have the chicken basket meal with a medium coke please." i say turning to her. she nods her head, grabs the menu from my hands, and walks away.  as I turned my head back to the table, there was someone in the booth infront of me, looking directly at me. She had black hair, with blue streaks in it. Her arms were filled with tattoos and her nose had a nose ring in it. Maybe i had stared too long, because she had gotten up, and she walked out. I don't know. She was staring at me first anyway.. My food had came soon after, so i dug in.
