(Author’s Note – HI GUYS! My name is Rino, and this is my first fanfic. I’m REALLY EXCITED about publishing this!

The theme song for this story is Dance With Me Tonight by Olly Murs, just because it is my favourite song EVER! You will probably see a lot of Olly songs throughout the novel, because HE IS AWESOME AND REALLY HOT TOO!

The theme song for this chapter is Valerie by Amy Winehouse.

ENJOY!

Claudia’s P.O.V

I know that there is something awesome happening today, but I can’t remember what it is. Oh wait…

I’m going on a cruise!

My parents have been saving up for this for AGES! We are going on a luxury cruise liner called the Ocean Adventurer.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Claudia Cameron, but I go by the name Charlie, and I’m 13 years old. I live in New York in the USA with my mum and my dad, Bill and Janie. My granny, Margaret, sometimes comes over to stay, but mostly for moral support, as Gramps is really ill having had a minor stroke a few days ago. I’m not really upset for myself, as I didn’t know him that well, just more upset for Granny, as she has to go through the constant pain of everyday rolling over in her bed looking for Gramps, yet only seeing the crisp white sheets tucked neatly in to the other side of the queen-sized bed. I am reasonably tall - maybe 5 foot 5 (or 165 cm, if you want to be picky like that). I have blondish-brown hair that flicks out at one side and flicks in at the other side, and comes down to just past my shoulders. I’m not all that pretty, due to my ‘amazing’ glasses, and no boys really like me all that much, mostly due to the fact I go to an all-girls high school.

Back to the story. So now I am up and dressed into my clothes: Dark green skinny jeans, red cons, my blue and green One Direction t-shirt (I am the biggest fan in the whole entire world), and my purple hoodie saying ‘I heart Paris’ on it. I finally get in the car and I prepare myself for the long car drive. I decide not to ask mum how long the drive would be because I don’t want to stress myself out, and bug mum the whole trip. I am just going to go along with it.

The drive is so boring. My iPod is now officially out of charge, and I have no credit left on my phone, so I can’t text my bestie Anna. I decide to listen to music on my mobile. I flick through my playlists, and come across one that I haven’t listen to for a while. As far as I can see it is a mix of One Direction and ADELE. I put it on shuffle and what comes on but Moments by One Direction. I don’t know why, but this song always makes my cry, especially in Zayn’s solo at the end.

“Flashing lights in my mind, going back to the time…”

I quickly pause it to stop myself from crying in front of my parents, who will of course be worried and think there is something wrong. I pause the song, and then pick another one. It’s One Thing by One Direction. I LOVE this song! Especially the second part of the first vers-

‘Here we are at Fort Lauderdale cruise port. Quickly get your bags out and place them neatly on the curb.’ Mum says, interrupting my thoughts. What I was going to say, was that I like the part in the first verse when Harry sings his solo… his voice is mesmerising… he is so good-looking… CLAUDIA! STOP FANTASIZING!

LOUIS’S P.O.V

I love cruises. I haven’t been one since I broke up with Eleanor (A/N I’m not dissing Eleanor! I think she’s amazing). Times were hard then, but I’ve kind of gotten over it now, in case you want to know. I’m going on some ship these holidays called the Ocean Adventurer, and I’m going with my 4 best mates: Harry, Liam, Niall and Zayn. I’m really excited for this, because now I have broken up with Eleanor I’m really in need of another girlfriend, because I miss having one (A/N See what will happen here? Maybe you think you do…). Before you ask, that’s not the only thing I’m excited about on the cruise. Activities… Food… Shows…Girls…More food. I think you can tell I like food.

CLAUDIA’S P.O.V

We are FINALLY on board. I walk up the gangway, holding tightly to the straps of my purple backpack. We get our photos done to go on our OceanTravelCards, before we finish walking across the little bridge. I really find it hard to imagine what the lobby of the ship was going to look like. I expect there to be middle age men serving us in Hawaiian shirts dancing around and singing songs in other languages.

OMG OMG OMG!

This is completely not what I expected. Everywhere was so… BIG!!! Where I expected there to be men in Hawaiian shirts, there are hot young guys who looked really good in tuxedos. My parents and I go over to the desk to get our room keys. A young man about 25, who’s badge identified him as Aiden served us. He wasn’t as hot as some other guys here, yet he wasn’t too bad. I would be weird for me to like someone that was around twelve years older than me though, so I blanked the thought of him from my brain.

Back to what the lobby looks like. IT IS AMAZING! It is a round room which is very open to the rest of the ship. In the centre there is a large swirly blue glass sculpture which is hanging from the roof. I wonder how the roof is able to hold up a weight like that. The customer services desk is on the side next to guest relations. Off to the other side there is a nice looking café called the Lobby Bar. Could have spent five more minutes on the name! I ask mum if we could go there before dinner this evening. She tells me that would be a good idea, so we quickly go and book in. She says to the man, “May we please have a reservation for three people at half 5?”

The man replies, “Sure, but do you mind sharing a table with a few other guests, because we are already over-booked?”

I beg mum for around 5 minutes, before she finally gives in. “Fine. One more thing,” she asks. “Who are we sitting with?”

“Oh, let me just have a look!” replies the man. “You are sitting with 5 young lads, by the names of Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik.”

I nearly die.
