Traffic at the Pier

Chapter 1

AVA

"Ava come on we're gonna miss our flight!" Carla screams through the phone.
I am so excited I'm going to my first vacation without my family.

I hurry downstairs and double check that I have everything I need, I say my goodbyes to my dad and little brother and get to Carlas car

"What are you wearing?, you look like you stole your clothes from a homeless man in winter" Vanessa chuckles at Carla's joke
"You do know we're going to the beach and not the North Pole...right?" Vanessa adds

"Haha you guys are so funny" I roll my eyes at their annoying jokes

"It's cold on the airplane and airport so I'm just comfy and warm"

"Yeah but that's too much why are you wearing such a big jacket, a hoodie should of done it"

Carla is sometimes annoying but I love her for that, I've known her since before middle school and it has always been the two of us, not always though back in 6th grade all the way through 9th grade we had a huge group of friends, you could say we were pretty "popular" but in 10th grade things were...well different, something in summer '16 changed most people, nobody was the same, our so called friends stopped talking to us slowly and we got excluded... by December of that year we stopped trying to talk to them and we lost all of our "popularity" Vanessa came along at the end of junior year, she was very quiet and didn't talk to anyone so one day we decided to sit with her at lunchtime ch and after that she gained trust and started being herself more around us, we haven't known Vanessa for 2 years but she's our triplet, we're all the same person and I'm happy I'm spending my vacations with my favorite people on earth.

"I will 200% throw up" Carla interrupts my thoughts
"Well if you throw up on me we will 200% have a problem" Vanessa replies to Carla and I chuckle at her stupid joke.

I am nervous because I have never been in a airplane, well I have been but that was when I was two and because my mom had to get her "treatment" all the way across the country.
...

Once we arrive to our hotel we decide to head down to the pool or beach
Vanessa randomly sneaks up behind Carla and smacks her ass, Carla thinks it's some random creep and almost slaps Vanessa
"YOU WHORE!" We all start laughing at Carla's reaction while a family of 5 passes by us and looks at us as if we had grown horns in our heads, we laugh even harder and get in the elevator

"Hey Ava, maybe in this trip you might meet someone"Carla tells me while braiding her curly locks

"Good joke" I chuckle

"Ava...Seriously you have been single since I've met you, you need a boyfriend"

"See Ava, the last person you dated was Justin in 8th grade"

Justin was my second boyfriend, I had my first kiss with him and we held hands a few times but it was a middle school thing nothing important.

"WAIT, you dated Justin Hernandez in 8th grade!?" Carla and I nod at the same time
"That's fucking disgusting, they say he has like herpes now."
" it's probably true...he's slept with nearly all girls at our school"

"Old school" I correct her
They both look at me and I sigh

"I can't believe we're actually done with high school"Carla frowns, high school was honestly the best, yes most people didn't like us but then again we didn't really care, we had clubs and teachers were nice and there was so many after school events we did, I know no one likes high school but for me and Carla is different, Vanessa is not like us though she hated everything single thing about it

"Thank god" Vanessa adds contributing to my thoughts, we laugh once again and the elevator door opens.

As we get out a pretty girl winks at Vanessa and she smiles at her.
"Did you guys see that?"

"Yes" I say while Carla nods

"Should I ask for her number or something?"

"Yes" Carla says while I reply with "No"

"She should go ask for her number, because you'll never know if you'll see her again"

"No, if she wants you then she should come up to you"

"What?, no i bet she isn't even bold enough to come up here to ask her for her number"

"She clearly was bold enough to wink at her, but she isn't bold enough to ask her number?"

"Guys" Vanessa says in the middle of our argument

"Dude she can go ask herself"

"That girl is clearly into her so she can come here and ask Vanessa"

"She's coming shut up!" Vanessa screams at us

"Hi" the curly head girl says looking at Vanessa

"Hey" She replies

"So you seem cool...are you from around here"

"No I'm not"

"Oh ok... Where are you from?"

"Huston, Texas"

"Omg really? me too"

"What? that's so cool"

"Mhm, we're gonna head to the pool see you there" I interrupt their conversation

We walk towards the exit and Vanessa waves goodbye and continues her conversation

"Hopefully they go on a date"Carla says. It would honestly be the best for her to go on a date with someone that isn't Hannah, I don't really  get why it was so hard to get over her, she had cheated on her three times and lied too much. I mean she loved her and all but she had it coming

"Yeah hopefully, how long has it been since Hannah?"

"A year and a half"

"Damn that's a lot...mostly since she got so hurt" I say, but then I think about and maybe that's why, she got so hurt it was harder to move on.

We start heading to the pool when a tall guy bumps into me and spills his drink all over my shorts

"Watch it dick"Carla says for me

The guy picks his drink up without a look at us and leaves.

I look back at him and he keeps walking
