adventure of the seas ; grayson dolan

6 ; coco beach , fl

july 8th

  i woke up in the worst mood. my stomach felt like it was collapsing, i was not prepared for our first stop in florida. i didn't even drink much last night, i jumped out of bed and took two advil's

"what time did you come in last night?" brittany asked

"around three"

her mouth opened, "damn, later then me and i went to the club with everyone else"

i laughed

"how does grandpa expect me to hangout with the family if you guys go to the club" i rolled my eyes

"he doesn't even know. i heard he went to bed right after dinner" she giggled

i put on one of my suits and some jean shorts and a tang top over it. i grabbed my backpack and we left to meet the rest of the family

all together we walked down to the departing floor

"heard you came home late last night. i guess the teen club gets crazy" kevin said

"yeah bet you're mad they don't let people over 35 into the teen club" i rolled my eyes and moved to where my brother dylan was standing

"what did you do last night?" i asked

"rock climbing! i wanna do it again!" he seemed genuinely happy, i was so glad

it took a few minutes but soon we were off the ship and docked in coco beach florida

i had never been to florida before so i was very excited but i wasn't really showing it

our family dispersed and i was left with dylan, brittany, and jack

we bought our round trip ticket to the beach and go onto our bus. i watched out the window the whole time, i was amazed at all the palm trees. i stopped when i realized it was only florida, but i've never been out of my small town so every new place i go is always so beautiful

the bus dropped us off in front of the famous Ron Jon Surf Shop so we went in too look around

the inside of the store was huge. there were surfboards along the walls and so many people walking around

i wondered off and looked through the stickers for my laptop

"we're gonna wait to by stuff till later and meet up with the rest of the family at 7-11" brittany said

i put the stickers down and agreed

we left the store and crossed the street to 7-11

my family was waiting outside and some buying stuff inside. i went in and made myself a slurpee

"we're in a different state and you still figured out a way to get a slurpee" jack laughed

i burst out laughing. everyone knows i'm addicted to slurpees, i honestly thought i wouldn't be able to get one all vacation

when we were all done we met outside and began walking too the beach

"my float is better then yours" kimberly said to jamie

"you woulda thought" jamie laughed back

i smiled, they both bought floaties to swim with

we followed the sand path to the beach

i eyed down the water. it looked so pretty and clear, nothing like i've seen before

"it's so clear compared to new york beaches" my grandpa said to me

"i know. it's my first time seeing clear water ever" i smiled at him

"just wait till the bahamas"

i smiled and continued looking at the ocean

we picked a spot on the beach and put all our stuff down. most of the group ran into the water but i wasn't in the mood yet. i grabbed my phone and slurpee, and headed for the boardwalk

i walked up the stairs and over to the tables connected to the boardwalk

i sat down and opened my phone

i immediately started texting my best friends laura and dani keeping them updated on what has happened so far, mostly with grayson

i locked my phone and waited for a response

my phone stayed silent

i looked around bored. the only thing on my mind was wondering where grayson , jos , and rebecca are and what they're doing. i miss them more then i do my home friends. it's crazy how close you could get to people so fast

my phone never buzzed so i made my way back to my family and into the water
