"Just so y'all know, I just straightened my hair so I'm not going under that water." Says Gia. Jada rolls her eyes. "Girl, let's go." The girls laugh and walk out of the room to go outside to the pool. The girls then find a lounge chair to set their things down in. "Let's chill in the hot tub for a little." Says Casey "Yeah I was gonna say that." Gia says. They all walk over to the hot tub. Jada gets in and submerges her body all the way in immediately, meanwhile Gia and Casey start with just their feet in the water since it's really hot. "Girl how are you just in the water like that?!" Asks Gia. Jada shrugs her shoulders and laughs. "It's not hot to you?!" Asks Casey "No, not really."
"You know what, I'm just gonna get in." Casey says with no fear. "I'm just gonna keep my feet in for a little." Gia says. Jada, Casey, and Gia all start laughing and chatting. Meanwhile the young man that noticed Gia earlier in the lobby noticed her again from the lazy river. "Hey let's get in the hot." He tells his brother and cousin. They agree and all walk to the hot tub and get in. The 3 boys get in forming a straight horizontal line with the young man that noticed Gia in the middle. Jada and Casey then both get closer to Gia forming a straight horizontal line as well with Gia in the middle. For a second it's quiet but then Gia proceeds to say "Hi." with a very sweet and innocent smile. "Hi." Says the boy in the middle. "What's y'all name?" Casey asks. "Oh I'm Jerimiyah, this is my little brother Mikey, and this is my younger cousin Sam." Says the boy who noticed Gia. Mikey and Sam say hi and the girls wave. "How about y'all?" Jerimiyah says. "I'm Jada."
"I'm Casey."
"And I'm Gia." She says with a smile. "You smile a lot Gia." Jerimiyah says to Gia "You smiled when you said hi to us, you smiled when you told us your name, and don't think I forgot that smile from earlier."
"What smile?" Jada asks. "Right. When was this?" Casey adds on. "Earlier in the lobby I saw him. Didn't think I'd see him a second time." Gia says jokingly. "Yeah and all he's been doing is talking about you for the last hour." Sam says clearly annoyed. "Good things I hope." Gia says teasingly. Jerimiyah laughs shyly in embarrassment. After about 30 minutes of chatting Jerimiyah asks "Do y'all wanna go get smoothies at the smoothie bar?" "We can't we didn't bring money to pay." Gia says. "Who said I was making you pay?" Jerimiyah says. Gia then says "I don't know. You don't really know us and I don't want you to pay for some girls you barely know."
"I'm paying for these two idiots over here so why not pay for a pretty girl and her cousins."
"Girl stop talking and get these free drinks." Casey says. "Fine let's go get smoothies." Gia says still unsure. "I don't really want a smoothie. I'll just stay here with our stuff." Jada says "You sure?" Mikey asks. "Yeah it's fine." So Casey, Gia, Jerimiyah, Sam, and Mikey all head to the smoothie bar. Everyone tells the smoothie guy what kind of smoothie they want. "Let me get a tropical smoothie" says Casey. "Umm let me get a berry blast smoothie" says Mikey "Make me a umm..make me a hurricane smoothie" Sam says. "What kind of smoothie do you want pretty girl." Jerimiyah says. Gia blushes and then continues to say"Can I just have a raspberry smoothie."
"Yeah let me get one too." Jerimiyah adds on."
"Okay your total is $26.67." Says the smoothie guy."
"Shit. I didn't bring enough money for all of us." Says Jerimiyah."
"I don't need a smoothie." Gia says. Jerimiyah proceeds to say "No, I'm gonna get you one still. How about me and you share a smoothie?" Gia blushes a little then says "Okay, I'm down." Once they got their smoothies they grabbed two straws and went on their way. As soon as everyone got their smoothie they looked for a table with an umbrella to sit and chat. They find a rectangular table with 6 chairs. The 3 boys sat on one side and the 3 girls sat on the other side. Gia and Jerimiyah sat across from each other to share their smoothie. "Wait so how old are y'all." Jerimiyah asks. "I'm 15." Says Jada. "I'm 16." Says Casey. "I'm 16 too. What about you guys. " Says Gia. "I'm 17 and they're both 16." Jerimiyah says. "Y'all don't talk much do you." Jada says to Mikey and Sam. They both shrug and not say a word. Then Casey goes on to say "Well alright then." Gia laughs and goes to take a sip of the smoothie. As Gia looks up she catches Jerimiyah looking at her. "What?"
"Nothing." Gia's phone dings from receiving a text message.

"My parents cooked so we have to go." Gia says. The girls get up and gather all of their things. "Hey let us walk you to your room." Jerimiyah says. "Okay come on" says Gia. "Bet." The 6 start walking to the girls hotel room. They walk in a horizontal line starting with Jada, then Casey, then Gia, then Jerimiyah, then Sam, then Mikey. They finally make it to the door. "Thanks for walking us to our room." Gia says "You're welcome. Um can I get a hug before you go" Says Jerimiyah. Gia wraps her arms around his torso laying her head on his muscular chest, while he hovers over her wrapping his arms around her shoulders. When they start to let go Jerimiyah suddenly says "Oh wait can I get you Snapchat?"
"Yeah sure." Jerimiyah takes his phone out and clicks the Snapchat icon then hands it to Gia. Gia types in her username and adds herself from his phone. "Here you go."
"Thanks pretty girl. Oh!" Jerimiyah then shouted "while we're here can I get you number too?" Gia laughs and starts blushing a little. She reaches her hand out for his phone and he hands it to her. She types in her phone number and gives him the phone back. "Here you go" Gia says with a smile. "Thanks. I'll text you later."
"Okay cool."
"See you later."
"Bye." Gia takes the key and opens the door. As the girls walk in Jerimiyah walks away smiling.
