Falling

Chapter 1

We were one of the first ones to arrive; it was already late in the afternoon. As we parked in Ariana’s garage I saw her waving at us. Ariana’s house was gorgeous, It was white and had 2 floors, there was a sliding glass door leading to the beach, there were also a few floor length windows, positioned in a way that you can’t see anyone changing from outside. When I got out of the car the wind blew on my jet black hair. Wes gets our stuff and hands me my bag. Together, we walk towards Ariana’s house marveling at its beauty, Ariana meets us at the door and hugs me, as I awkwardly pat her back.

“Hi guys! Welcome to my house! Come in!” she says, letting me go and ushering us inside. I just smile squeezing Wes’ hand to show my discomfort, but he just smiles, assuring me. Ariana was a nice girl but she was so loud, her voice hurt my ears, did she have to scream while she was hugging me? Ariana was very pretty with curly, blonde hair, light brown eyes and a thin body, she was a few inches shorter than me, but what she lacked in height she more than made up for in her bouncing.

“Hi Ariana, how are you?” I say, for the sake of being polite.

“Great! I’m soooo excited for this week!” she said dragging the ‘o’. She continues, “I’ve got soooo much planned for us to do! We have­­­­­­­­­­­-----“ I zoned out at this point bored and in pain, did she have to speak so loud? I started looking at her house, seeing a few vases here and there as well as a chandelier her furniture was all made of wood, a few of her chairs actually looked painful to sit on.

Ariana leads us to our room on the second floor, and I ‘oooh’ at the sight there was a king sized bed and a sliding glass door leading to a balcony facing the sea, the room was all white with a closet near a door, probably leading to a bathroom, I put my bag on the bed and sit down bored and wanting to unpack.

“I’ll leave both of you to get ready. I’ll be downstairs waiting for the others. If you need me just shout!” she said shouting at the end as if teaching us how to shout. I roll my eyes as she closes the door behind her and leaves.  I hear her footsteps slowly fading until there was nothing.

“Finally,” Wes says, talking for the first time since we got here, “She was killing my ears.” He exclaims rubbing his ears as if to prove it. I laugh agreeing.

“Let us unpack, my dear friend.” I say in a deep voice.

“Friend?” He said hugging me and burying his head in my neck making me squeal, “I thought I was your boyfriend. Hmm?”

I continue giggling as he pushes me on the bed and tickles my ribs.

“So-sorry!” I scream, laughing. ”I meant boyfriend.”

“Good,” he says standing up, “let’s unpack.” He says very seriously, I sit up, leaning on my elbows, looking at him weirdly, he is so weird. I suddenly have a great idea I take of my shoes and stand on the bed, I jump on his back and laugh as he struggles to balance us.

“Minion, carry me to my bags!” I order in the firmest voice I could muster in my laughing state. He just chuckles doing what I say. When he puts our suitcases on the bed, I climb off of him and walk towards my bag, I start to unpack and motion for him to do the same. He walks over and unpacks; while we unpack we continue laughing and telling jokes. Eventually our friends arrive and we go down to meet them.

When me and Wes get downstairs we are greeted by our friends. Annie, the petite, blue eyed brunette, her boyfriend, Eric, the black haired, brown eyed giant. Lea, the 5’6 red head white green eyes, her best friend, Justine, the blonde, blue eyed beauty. Joanne the brown haired, brown eyed girl, her boyfriend, John, the blonde, blue eyed surfer. And last, Park, Ariana’s cousin, blonde and green eyed.

After the introduction, we decided to eat; it was already 6:00 so we decided to start swimming tomorrow. While we ate, everyone laughed and chatted. Lea and Justine were both flirting with Park. Wes talking with John about some video game and I was talking with Joanne about school.

“Did you hear that Mr. Palmer was caught smoking in school?” she asked.

“No I don’t think I heard that one.” I said, laughing, Mr. Palmer was the meanest teacher ever. He kept talking fast, so most of the time all you can hear is, “mmmnnnhhiohohjjdajaja”

After everyone stopped talking we decided to go to bed. I ran to the bathroom calling dibs, while Wes complained behind me. After I finished showering I came out to see Wes already done showering. I gave him a questioning look.

“Showered with Lea,” he said shrugging. I glared at him threatening to throw my hairbrush. “Kidding!” he exclaimed throwing his hands up. “I showered in a spare bedroom.”

I pouted and turned around, showing my back.

“Aww, don’t be like that,“ he said, “I’m sorry.” He hugged me from behind, nuzzling his head in my neck. I smiled, turning around and hugging him back.

I yawned, “Let’s get you some sleep.” he said, leading me to the bed and tucking me in. He went on the other side of the bed and lay down. He wrapped his arms around me and I snuggled closer. I yawned once again as I let sleep pull me in.
