Talking to Troye, for the whole night. The only thing I remember.

The way he thaw his head while he laughs and the way he addresses me as a funny girl.

God, I sound like a nincompop.

Also, I remember leaving someone. Connor.

He was really great, and if I'm not mistaken he's the one coming out of the halls, like, right now.

"Connor!!" I call out to him, he seems like he heard my call, but continues on walking. 

My speed picks up as I reach on his shoulders to turn him to me, "For fucks sake Connor!"

A look of surprise gets onto his face as he says, "Hey, uh--What's up?" and just casually smiles at me.

"I literally called you like a hundred times, didn't you hear me?" I ask folding my arms and raising y eyebrows at him, 

"Nope," He said popping the 'P', "Can I help you with something? Perhaps you want me to film your video again."

"What? You'd really think that's why I called you?" I ask him giving a funny smile.

He shrugs, "You only talk to me when you need something."

"Are you serious?" I said, sounding amused, "Is this about yesterday? When I left you when I went to Troye?"

"What? No," He groans, "That was totally fine."

I took this time to chuckle and say, "Were you jealous, Mister Franta?"

"Who? Me? Jealous?" He let out a sound of amusement and rolled his head back, "In your dreams,"

"Well if you really aren't, you'd agree on going zip lining with me." I said, "Hawaii is literally just outside and we can't waste that."

Connor smiles and crosses his arms, "Is this your way of asking me out on a date?" I open my mouth to decline but he beat me to it, "You know what? Don't answer that because you'll deny it out, when we all know its the opposite you mean, babe." 

And with that he walked away smirking as I was glued on the spot, mouth open.

Before he got a feet away from me, he turned and shouted, "You coming or what?"

Stupid, egotistical hot human.

The hot summer Hawaiian breeze greeted us, the moment we stepped off the cruise, it was a good change on the centralized air we breathe on the cruise.

Connor and I were walking side-by-side to the nearest zip-lining station on Maui. We both took a game of rock, paper and scissors to whether use one of those beach cars or just walk. I won by a landslide of 5 points, and so here we are using our feet to walk us the station.

I finally see the first station and was about to climb, before Connor asked, "What'd you say we were doing again?"

I used my hand to cover the glaring sun as I squint up, looking at a couple of boys head on trying the zip-line, "Zip-lining, didn't you hear?" I smiled as  put my hands down, "All right, let's go!" Grabbing his hands we climb up on the enormous stairs.

"Bethany, we still need to pay," Connor said the moment we reached the top, "I'll just go and do it." He said holding the railings.

"What? No, I dragged you into this, which means," I grab a hold of money and pushed it to the table, "I'm paying."

"You'll be next," Was what we hear from the man behind the counter as I smile and took hold of hand to the front of the station.

A view of the whole Maui Island with hundreds of people either sitting or walking on the beach came to view, as well as the huge Royal Cruise perched on the water.

"It's so beautiful," I said, "Right?"

Connor, who was too busy on looking down below while two of his hands where sitting on the railings didn't even notice me asking.

"Connor?" I asked, he murmured a couple of incoherent words as I ask him again, "Con, English please," I chuckled

"I'm- I'm afraid of heights."

Before I could react, the man from behind the counter walked in, "You guys are up!"

Connor

IM GOING TO DIE. Hypothetically and realistically die.

I was so cold when I first talked to Bethany, but I'm colder now that I'm literally standing on top of an island about to zoom into the middle of the ocean.

"What if we got dropped into the sea?" I ask Bethany, 

"These machines are safe, oh my god, I can't," Bethany said after bursting into laughs, "If you really don't want this, then let's go,"

The look on her face doesn't seem disappointing, instead it looked like she was enjoying my misery.

"No, come on, let's get this done and over with," I said grabbing the helmet Joaquin has given (he's the man behind the counter), and putting it on top of my head.

"Honestly, I can't have you dying on me, Connor," Bethany said now climbing into the zip-lining bodice.

I snorted now copying her actions, "Oh, just make sure they have 'Bethany Mota' on my cause of death."

An airy laugh emitted from her lips as we are now both facing flat on our chests,  "Now, remember, Bethany you have the stopper which means you need to pull it hard to stop your zip-lines from flying over. Shaka!" 

I froze, just as Joaquin shouted to the operator that we were ready, "Flying over? What was that supposed to mean?"

"It means we might fall if I don't get a grip," Bethany said, which made the situation a HUNDRED times scarier.

"What the hell? If I die--"

And my shouts became girly, the moment we were released, I felt my stomach exchanged positions with my heart, as the wind blew over my face, I had shouts like I was going to die, whilst Bethany was clearly enjoying what we were doing.

I still had screams but the aqua-green water seemed to drown all those out as I looked below the scenic view. But of course my comfort had to be cut short as I see a red wearing guy on the other side of the station, waving his hands, I didn't quite get what he meant, but all he did was pull down his arms, "Bethany?" I said, "Bethany! The stopper!" 

It was like a trance blew off of her face as she gathered her hands onto the grip, 20 seconds and we were near the station, but we weren't slowing down, "Oh god, we're going to die, we're gonna die--"

"Shut the hell up, Connor!" I hear Bethany shout, but all I care about was my chant of "We're going to die"

The zip-line still was on fast speed as I can now clearly see the second station, closing my eyes in hopes to not feel any pain, "Bethany!" I shouted as I feel the zip-line going to a halt.

I hear Bethany's laughter zooming in, "That was amazing!"

"Oh yeah," I panted, "I'm going to need the toilet."
