^Thats Danielle

I woke up to the sunshine shining on my face through the windows. I roll over and pick up my phone. It was 9:00. I roll out of the bed and walk to the mirror. My sandy brown curly hair was all over the place.
I didn't even bother changing before I walk out the door to my room. I thought everyone would still be asleep. I slowly walked down the stairs. Then I walked down a hall and another one and then another one, not really knowing where I was going.
Then I turned into a large room and stopped in my tracks. Everyone was up and was sitting in that room. They were watching tv, playing pool, and throwing darts. All of the commotion stopped when I walked in and they all stared at me.
"Sam, your awake, finally!" Said Benny walking over to me. I don't move.
"Uh, you ok?" He asks when he reached me. I scratch the back of my neck.
"Oh, Yeah, Yeah I'm Fine," I say slowly.
"Good," he smiles, "We're about to go on a boat in a few minutes. Wanna come?" He asks. I hesitate for a second.
"Uhhhh, I don't know," I say slowly. His face falls.
"Oh come on Sam, you should really come," Said DeNunez, walking over to us.
"Fine," I sigh. Benny smiles.
"K then, let's get ready," he said.
We all jumped on the boat. It was a large speed boat that could fit all of us easily. We all sat in the back while Andrew drove the boat. Everyone had their bathing suits on. I did too but I was the only one who wore a t shirt and shorts over it.
Everyone was talking amongst themselves and as usual, I was that odd one out. So I sat and stared out at the water that we splashing all over the place. All of a sudden, I feel someone plop down beside me. It was Benny.
"You've been awfully quiet," he said, resting an elbow on the side of the boat. I look at him.
"Well I've got no one to talk to...." I say annoyed. He frowns.
"What are you talking about? You have all of these people," he says, gesturing To everyone in the boat. I shrug.
"Well, everyone is doing other things. You all have your own families to talk to......." I trail off. Benny puts a hand on my shoulder.
"Look, your part of the family too. You've been gone so long and we finally get to see you again. So what's wrong?" He asks. I shake my head.
"Nothing. Nothing at all," I say emotionless, looking back out at the sea. I hear Benny sigh and lean back on his seat.
"Hey guys! Who wants to go swimming?!" I hear Danielle squeal from the front of the boat. Benny chuckles as he pulls his baseball hat over his eyes. Danielle stomps over to him, ripping the hat off of his face.
"Mister, I said, who wants to go swimming?" She asks again, trying to hold in a smile. He rolls his eyes and reaches for his hat but she yanks it back.
"Nuh uh uh. Not until you answer me," she says.
"Fine Fine I'll go swimming," he laughs, "now gimme my hat back," he said, reaching for his hat and she gave it back this time. They both laugh as Benny stands up. I roll my eyes. Everyone else jumped into the water.
"Cannon ball!" Yells DeNunez and he cannon balls into the water. Everyone jumps in after him. I stay seated on the chair that was on the boat. But finally I decide to join them. So I take off my pants and shirt, revealing my black and gold two piece bathing suit.
I walk to the edge of the boat and jump off. I hit the water with a huge splash. We weren't 30 years old yet so we were still considered kids. Well that's my opinion.
So we played a serious game of Marco Polo with the kids and we just fooled around and stuff like that.
I have to say, it was probably the most fun I've had in a long time.
