Aaron's P.O.V

--------------------------

That girl I saw earlier was beautiful. I've never seen anyone like her before. Just watching how she was with her friends for that short while, and seeing her laugh and smile, she was one of a kind. Too bad I may never see her again. I told my friends about her, so I hope they can help me find her.

I wonder if she recognized me. Not to sound cocky or anything, but a good amount of other girls have on this trip. Especially because I'm with Cameron and the Jacks. Everyone knows them. I am lucky enough to not be noticed everywhere I go. My bet is on she didn't. I don't think she saw Cameron or the Jacks, or any of my friends actually, so the odds of her totally not knowing who I am was great. Not that it would be bad if she did know of me, but it would just be nice to know that the girl is here for me, not my fame.

I was getting my food from the amazing buffet they have here. I'm so glad we decided to do this cruise. Not only for the girl, or the food, but just the nice break. There's been some crazy teenage girls here and there, but mostly people who have no idea who any of us are. We're normal. I like normal.

My thoughts were interrupted when Jack Johnson hit me. I looked at him confused and he nodded over towards something. I looked and I saw her. My heart stopped, and I got nervous. She smiled so I smiled back, and I saw her facial expression change from happy to 'oh my gosh' in like .2 seconds. Her friends sitting with her started asking questions and turning around and looking at us with the same expressions. Oh gosh. Now they know. This may not be the worst thing ever. They still seem like cool girls, I mean, they haven't screamed yet so that's a good sign. I saw an empty table beside them. That's my chance.

"Hey, let's go sit over there" I said to Jack and he agreed staring at one of them. I got my tray of food and walked over to the table and them. "This seat taken?" I knew it wasn't.

"Oh uh, No, no" she said nervously. Nervous? Is that a good or a bad sign? Oh well. I picked up my empty cup and pointed towards it, letting her know I was going to get a drink and she smiled and nodded. As I walked away, I heard them start talking about me. This will be fun.

Liv P.O.V

"I can not believe you've been eye flirting with a famous Magcon boy" McKenzie whisper-yelled at me

"Shh" Hailey said then smiled at the guys.

"Hey girls" Cameron said smiling at us all but stopping and staring at Hailey some.

"Hello" Anna said as Aaron walked back over.

"You okay if we push this table closer to  y'all?" Jack Gilinksy asked. We all nodded as he pushed the table up to ours.

"Can I sit here?" Aaron asked me, with his hand on the chair beside me.

"Of course!" I said, still not believing this is happening right now.

"Oh, so you're the mystery girl?" Chris said after sitting down across from Aaron and beside Anna.

I blushed. Hard. "Well, yeah, I guess that's me" I looked down at my plate and smiled.

"What's your name?" He asked. Oh crap, I haven't even told them my name.

"Liv"

"That's a pretty name" Jack Gilinsky said.

"Thank you. Oh yeah, this is Hailey, McKenzie, and Anna" they all smiled and waved.

"Well, I'm Aaron. And this is Cameron, Jack Johnson, Jack Gilinsky, Matthew and Chris." They all smiled and waved back.

"So, why are y'all on this cruise?" Johnson asked before shoving what seemed like an entire waffle in his mouth.

"Senior trip. And you?" McKenzie asked.

"We just wanted a break. A vacation. Same reason most people are here probably" Cameron said.

"True" Hailey said. Soon everyone seemed to break off in their own  conversations.

"So, did you have your friends looking for me?" I asked Aaron.

"Maybe..." he laughed.

"Wow, am I that beautiful?" I joked.

"Actually, yes. Yes you are" he smiled at me and looked in my eyes.

Wow this is going fast.

I smiled back and looked across from me to see The others all in a conversation about food. I could already tell Anna was into Chris, I could tell by the way she looked at him and laughed around him.

After about 40 mins of eating and chatting with the guys, we all had to go back to our rooms and get ready for the safety drill thing. We all said goodbye and parted ways.

Once we got in the elevator, Hailey said, "oh my gosh guys, did any of you get their numbers?"

McKenzie and Anna's eyes got wide and freaked for a second, thinking that we would have to look all around to find them again, but then I smiled and motioned towards my phone.

"Thank goodness" Anna said breathing a sigh of relief. "Aaron?" She asked and I nodded.

"I can't believe none of y'all got their numbers." I said surprised.

"Well I'm sorry that we didn't have an immediate emotional connection and that the universe didn't bring us together" McKenzie said.

"I wouldn't go that far. We just met. Literally. Like an hour ago."

"But, we still have a month. A lot can happen in a month" Hailey said.
