We finally arrived at Knossos Beach, I made so many happy memories here. I'm so happy to finally be back, it's already my fifth year here at the hotel and I need to use the time as best as I can because I love the sea, but I only have to weeks in a year before I have to come back to Vienna. If I'd have to choose what I like best, a pool or the sea, I would definitely choose the sea. I can feel in the sea the life, you have the sealife like fish or crabs and it just feels great, not to forget the mysteries that lie within it. The mysteries that are below the waves of the long blue salty water. But a pool... it has no live, no mysteries and definitely no freedom. You could say I'm kinda addictat to the ocean, it just feels like home. That's why I started Scuba Diving, to finally be able to be in the sea and underwater for longer then my breath could last. To feel the sea and because I like the ocean so much, I also take the trash with me that I find. But none of my friends like the  ocean as much as I do, maybe someday I'll find a friend that likes the sea as much as I do.
But now back to reality, my grandmother and I just entered the Lobby and wanted to check in, but there was already a family of four and... wait... it's the boy from before, what a coincidence. We decided that we would wait on the couch that stands in the lobby with the back turned to the reception, but before I sat down I waved to the receptionist that was there alone and because he already knows my grandma and me for five years, he waved back.
My grandma told me that she's going to the restroom and I should just wait for her there and I did as she told.

Ant's pov.

We were at the reception and checking in, when the receptionist suddenly waved to someone behind us. I turned around to see two people behind us sitting down on the white couch with their backs turned to us. I payed no further notice to them and turned back to the receptionist.
While my dad checked in I remebered something.

Small flashback to when Ant sat next to his dad on the airplane

"Dad?", I asked. "Yes Ant.", he answered. "Can I go diving there? I even have my mask mask and an extra mask with me." (A/n: The mask he has in the cover of the book and two of them.) "You can only go diving there when we find a Scuba Diving school, because at first I don't want you to dive alone and second they will know better places to dive.", dad told me. "Okay, thanks dad.", I told him. "But your not going to use the mask but the diving tank that they'll give you so it's more fair." "Okay." At least something.

Back to reality

"I only have one more question.", I said to the receptionist. "And what would that be?", he asked. "Do you know if there's a diving school near here?" "There's a diving school here, but I don't have their number. But lucky for you, the girl over there has been diving here for four years and she dives almost every day off her two week stay here. So she's probably going to have the number off the diving teacher.", he said while pointing to the girl that sat down on the couch before. "Thank you", I said and turned to dad, "Can I go to the girl while you check in, I mean mom and Fontaine are at the lobby bar to buy something to drink and when you are finished I'll come back." My father nodded and turned back to the receptionist, as I went to the girl.
As I stood in front of the girl I noticed it's the girl from the airport. I thought I never was going to see her again. Guess I was wrong. (A/n: Told you 😜) "Hello, can I ask you something?", I asked her. She looked up from her phone and realised I stood there.

While I was writting with my mother on Whatsapp to tell her that we made it to the hotel, when somebody asked me, "Hello, can I ask you something?" I looked up and realised it was the boy from before. "Sure, what is it?" He said, "I wanted to go Scuba Diving and the receptionist said that you might have a phone number of a diving school near here, because you always go Scuba Diving." I answered him, "Yeah that's right, I have a phone number. I can ask him if you want." "That would be great, thank you." Then I said, "I only have to ask you one more thing. Do you know how to Scuba Dive, because if you do, then one dive only costs about 30. If you don't it costs about 70." He answered, "I know how to Scuba Dive, between my name is Anteus, but you can call me Ant." "My name is (y/n), but you can call me (y/n/n)." Then somebody, I guess his dad, called, "Ant, come here. We're going to our room." "I'll be right there.", he answered. "Goodbye (y/n)." I said, "See you later Ant." He started to walk away when I rememberd something. "Ant wait! Here is one of my Business Cards so just write this number so I can tell you what the divingteacher said and I know Business Cards at my age are weird, but what can you do when your father insists on it.", I shrugged. "I think it's actually cool. So see you later, (y/n)." "See you later, Ant." Maybe after all I will find a friend here. I smiled to myself. Then my grandma came back and asked, "Ready to check in?" "Yes!", I said with excitment in my voice.

Ant's pov.

I walked up to my family and a man brought us to our room. While we were walking, I smiled at the credit card. Maybe this vacation won't be so bad after all. I mean I already found a new friend. Fontaine looked over to me and asked, "What are you smiling at?" I quickly hid the card behind my back. "At nothing.", I said with a nervous smile. I knew when she found out, she would probably tease me with it. She said, "Look over there!" I looked and she snatched the card away. "Hey, give it back!" "Why do you have a Business Card? Wait is that a girl?! Do you have a crush?!", she said with a teasing voice at the end. "No I don't, I only have her card so she could tell me what the diving teacher said.", I protested. "Oh really? Well then you will have no problem when I save her number in my phone?" "Hey, don't!",  I said. "Why? Do you want your little girlfriend just for yourself?", she teased. We arrived at our room and my mom said, "Give Ant the card back Fontaine and stop teasing him." "Thanks mom", I said. "Yeah, we don't want you to be uncomfortable about your little girlfriend, now do we?", she giggled. "Mooom...", I whined. My mom said that she booked the biggest room with the small pool, the beach bed and the garden so that the first time for us at a hotel would be perfect and the room looks so great. She also said that we should unpack our things. I'm going to write (y/n) when I'm finished unpacking.

A/n: I'm sorry that I haven't updated in so long, it's just that I had to learn through summerbreak and school started again. I will try to continue the story as fast as I can and I hope that you're not mad at me for taking so Long.
