"We're in Spain, oh my god. it's beautiful!" shouted Lani to her friend Rhea who, quite clearly, did not want to be there.

"I'm sweating. That's not beautiful" the brown girl replied whilst lugging bags from the taxi cab,

"I'm sorry but do you know how much of an inconvenience this is guys? Y'all practically forced me to come to Ibiza with you when i should be learning scripts, travelling to auditions and- "

"Really Rhea? You acting mad selfish over nothing, we're officially on vacation, we're finally legal and can do what we want just relax. You think too much" her other friend Enya chimed

Rhea bit her tongue. She agreed with everything both Enya and Lani said but refused to admit it.

After checking in, the 3 friends made their way to their shared rooms. Rhea and Enya shared a double room and Lani had a single.
Meanwhile the girls were all in Lani's room discussing what they'd do on this 4 week holiday.

"We're totally partying right?"
"Of course Enya what is Ibiza without parties?" Lani smiled

Rhea (unlike the rest) did not want to party. To her credit, she was too focused on making sure she'd recited her script for an audition she had taking place in LA in exactly 5 weeks.

The young girl quietly repeated certain words in a different tones.

"You coming Rhea?" said Lani snapping the brown girl out of her thoughts.

"Huh" she said confusingly looking up from her annotated and highlighted script.

"To the poolside? They have a pool party going on....you'll for sure meet cute boys" Enya laughed, raising her eyebrows

Rhea laughed along whilst mentally debating with her subconscious whether she should go or not.

"Um, yeah sure why not. I can bring my script with me" she said quickly slipping on her flip flops and tying her braids back.

"Nope. No script" she began to argue with her friend- "ah! callate la boca! You need to leave it for at least a few hours. Give yourself a rest eh? Let me remind you it is above 30 degrees celsius! Vamos!" Shouted Lani- getting any chance she could to express her Dominican roots.

The girl huffed but obeyed, even she agreed that she was overworking herself however she knew that if she got this one audition it could change her life.

"Yo Z! You coming with us to the pool party?" shouted his band mate Nick from the bathroom they shared

The 5 boys were currently taking a break from touring and decided to take a 5 week vacation to Ibiza.
They all agreed it would put their busy minds and jet lagged bodies to rest.

Zion took his headphones off, exposing his silver earring that most times he forgot he even had.

"Yeah sure bro tell the guys I'll be down in a sec!" He shouted back.
Quickly, he slipped his sliders on and sprayed some aftershave over him.

Zion sat down at a table and chair near the pool, although it was sunny and all his friends were having fun, he set up his laptop and headphones.

The only the thing that would get him through this trip was making music.
Just as he was about to modify a song he'd previously been working on he heard a voice, "Excuse me? Hey!" Zion rolled his eyes and continued to look down at the screen.

"Is anyone sitting here" she asked once more. Frustrated, the girl yanked the chair out from under the table and slumped herself down, resting her chin on her hand.

Zion soon realised that whoever was pestering him had boldly sat herself down at his table.

He looked up to see who had joined him near the pool and, just like a cliche scene from a movie his eyes were met with dark brown ones.

The warmth and curiosity of her eyes brought ease to the awkward situation of two strangers meeting.
