24 HOURS

The Arrival

5AM on a hillside, in a bus.

"Come on man, we're an hour late for our expected arrival time.", a shout can be heard from the back of the vehicle.

"Shut the fuck up, Luca! You don't have the rights to rush me, I already got us the loft. You should be grateful, you should all be!", Chad, the one driving the bus, shouts back.

Luca grunts as he crosses his arms like a child who got scolded. "Okay fine.", he whispers under his breath. A friend, his seatmate on the bus, pats his shoulders

"Cheer up man, we'll booze you up later. I know it's been a rough patch for you after your break-up with Cherry, look on the brighter side man. We got the cabin to ourselves, it's like the old saturdays with the boys! Well, except the rest of our batch are here, but that's fine! They've all been assholes since high school, especially Chad. Cheer up."

"Okay, okay, you got me there man. It's been rough, but it's good to know that I still got you. You've always been a soft one, Franklin. Please don't leave me like Ch-...", Luca couldn't finish his sentence as he weeps, and eventually falls asleep.

"DAMN.", Franklin says in shock. "There, there, buddy. Sleep tight."

About 30 minutes later...

The bus parks in front of a huge cabin as excitement fills up the whole area. "Fucking finally.", says a man carrying two bags, in a grumpy tone.

"Come on Flash baby, let's get inside quick so we can have the best room. I heard Chad say one of the rooms here are soundproof, if you know what I mean...", a woman calls the man in a naughty and squeaky voice.

"I sure would love to know what you mean babe...", Flash responds in a provocative tone. "But I can't be quick if I'm carrying both our bags. What do you have in here? The content of this bag is that for a year-long vacation."

"What's it to you? It's like you still don't know me. Give me that.", the woman snatches the bag from Flash and runs inside the cabin.

"Jessica, baby, wait...", Flash sighs as he puts his palm on his face.

From a distance, murmurs can be heard. "Look at them, I wonder how they're still together after all these years.", a woman says to another.

"Bianca, girl, I wonder how you still haven't learned to shut that mouth of yours after all these years! Girl!", the other woman replies.

"Oh Julia, you bitch!", the two laugh it off as he a man approaches them from behind. "Ladies, what are we laughing at?"

"Oh, hey Prince!", Bianca exclaims, "Your girlfriend here was just gossiping about Flash and Jess, she said she thinks they might break up tonight."

"Oh I did not say anything of such, come on now baby, let's leave this single biatch here by herself like she will be when she grows old", Julia talks back to Bianca before she storms off dragging her boyfriend with her.

"NOT FUNNY!", Bianca shouts in a whiny manner.
