We got back to the boat. We were happy until we hit the reality that one of our bestfriends had be murdered.

"Should we do a funeral on the boat?"William asks
"We should" I say

"Attention all passengers, Brendan James smith has passed away, it's none of your concern but please give one minute of your time" someone says over the speaker

Everyone is quiet and they play a sad tune
People grab there hearts and look up at us. We were on the deck above the pool and everyone in the pool area could see us. They were paying their respect for us.

The minute ended and people went back to what they were doing but they were staying quiet.

"Maybe a funeral on the boat would be a bit difficult since there's only 9 of us" I say
They nod.

"well um who's hungry?" Peter asks
I raise my hand and we go to the closet restaurant.

Once we order our food we wait in silence for it to come.
"So um anyone like uh cheese?" Dylan asks awkwardly. I giggle
They look at me with shook.
"What?" I ask
"You...you giggled" Dylan says holding back laugher.
"So-no I didn't" I say
"You did!!!" William joins in
"So what if I did" I ask imbarresssed
"Don't feel imbarressed, all girls giggle" William says
"But I wouldn't expect you to" Declan says and I playfully hit him.
He acts hurt.
I laugh...not giggle

"Did you guys know, if you put salt on a leech, snail, worm, slug ect....they will turn inside out?" I ask trying to start a conversation.

"Oh I never knew that" William says sarcastically.
"Just trying to start a conversation jeez" I say raising my hands in defeat.
They laugh.
"Pigs aren't always pink" I state the obvious.
"Water is wet" Declan states
"The sun is hot...like me" Dylan says
And we all laugh.
Our food finally arrives and we dig in.
