In the car 12:37 p.m.
How comfy....
Joanna slowly got out of the car and stretched out. Four hours cramped up in a car wasn't exactly her idea of fun.
"Joanna!"
Joanna looked over to Christina, who was standing over by a little shop on the corner.
"Look at this!" she yelled.
Christina was waving a little pamphlet. Joanna nodded and smiled, she didn't really care what it was.
"Where are we?" Julie asked as she walked over to Joanna.
"Somewhere in England." replied Joanna, amused by her own joke.
"Funny!" Julie said, apparently annoyed. "No, seriously, where are we?"
Joanna looked around.
"Looks like a suburban of London."
"Oh." Julie said casually, as if she knew what that meant.
A few minutes later Christina walked out of the store and over to the girls.
"Look what I got!" she said while waving around a bag of chips.
"Oh my God! Food!" Julie yelled as she grabbed the bag from Christina.
"Give it back to me!" Christina screamed, and she quickly started wrestling Julie for it.
Suddenly the bag fell to the floor. Both of them looked at it, and just as they were about to pounce, Joanna swiped it from the floor.
"Animals!" she mumbled. She opened the bag and grabbed a handful of chips, quickly shoving them in her mouth.
"Ew!" she said as she threw the bag at Christina.
"These chips taste like shit! These British people....."
"Listen guys...." Christina said. "If we're lucky, maybe we'll find some cheap hotel in London."
Joanna and Julie nodded.
"Then lets go, we don't have forever. Just the summer." Julie said as she smiled and ran over to the car.
In the hotel 3:19 p.m.
Party time.....
Christina looked through her bag. She picked up two little bags, looked over them, and realized neither of them were what she was looking for.
"Where is my makeup bag?" she asked, annoyed.
Even though Julie was sitting right next to her, she ignored Christina's question.
"Julie?!?"
"Wha? Leave me alone! Go to your own room!" Julie answered, and went back to reading her magazine.
"Did you know that you could get pregnant in a hot tub???" she asked, pointing to a paragraph in the magazine.
Christina sighed. She wasn't even going to bother talking to Julie. It was too stressful for her.
"They got some damn fine hotties in the country." Joanna exclaimed as she barged into the room.
She started waving her arms in the air like a maniac trying to dance. "We're gonna party tonight!" she sang.
"Yeah? Well, you can party all by yourself if you plan on dancing like that!" Christina said.
A blank look came over Joanna's face.
"Are you looking for something?' she asked Christina and held out a little black bag.
"My makeup bag! Give it back!" she shouted as she started chasing Joanna around the room.
"Not until you apologize!" Joanna yelled and ran out of the room, into the hallway, with Christina right behind her.
Julie shook her head and thought to herself. "Two months with them. God help me!"
In the night club 6:56 p.m.
Blast that music.....
Joanna was standing by the bar with Christina. Julie had gone off wandering somewhere.
'Probably looking for guys.' Joanna thought to herself.
"There's a lot of people here!" Joanna shouted into Christina's ear, trying to overcome the loud music.
"What did you expect?" Christina shouted back
"I'm still surprised we got in!" Joanna said. "Even with these crappy fake IDs!"
Christina shrugged. "Hey, enjoy the summer while you can."
Joanna nodded in agreement with her best friend. She was only 16 years old and was traveling through England, and now, on their first night there, she was already partying in the some club.
"Well, I'm off..." Christina announced. "I just gotta talk to him." she said, pointing at a blonde-haired guy who had been checking her out all night.
"Oh, no! Please don't!" Joanna whined. "Don't leave!!!"
But Christina had already walked away and left Joanna standing alone.
'Some friend.' she thought as she watched Christina work her way over to where he was standing.
In the club 7:04 p.m.
Nice to meet you, Marc.....
"So, what do you do?" Marc asked.
Christina searched for an answer. "I'm.....um, a student."
Marc smiled sweetly at her, as if the answer gave him goosebumps.
Christina blushed. "What do you do?" she asked, trying not to focus on his infatuation with her every word.
"I'm a tour manager."
Christina looked at him, stunned. "Really?"
He nodded.
"But aren't you...." Christina looked at him carefully.
"Too young?" Marc finished her sentence. "Not really, I'm 24. I'm really an assistant manager for my father's company"
"Oh.....What company?"
"RCA" he said "And I'm working on a tour beginning in 2 days. It's called the Smash Hits tour."
Christina's eyes opened widely. "I heard about that tour in some magazine."
Marc nodded. "Yeah, it's pretty popular, a big sell-out." he said.
Christina couldn't believe this. He was gorgeous, sweet and he has a great job. This is exactly the kind of guy she was looking for. She gave him the sweetest smile she could.
At the bar 8:21 p.m.
How low can you go.....
Julie looked around the club. She saw Christina bumping and grinding her ass with some guy, and not too far away she saw Joanna, who was apparently in the middle of a conversation with a hot guy.
Julie didn't seem to care that she would be interrupting, so she walked over to Joanna and tapped her on the shoulder as hard as she could.
Surprised, Joanna turned around to see Julie standing there smiling.
"What?!?!" she snapped.
Julie took a step back, fearing that Joanna may slap her.
"Who's that guy with Chrissy?" she asked quietly, which made Joanna look even more annoyed.
"How the hell should I know?" she exclaimed and quickly turned back to the guy.
Julie walked away to look for someone to talk to. She felt left out. There was a lot of guys she could easily get, but none of them seemed to be what she wanted.
She walked back and tapped Joanna again. Joanna sighed.
"Excuse me." she said to the guy and quickly turned to Julie. "Now what?"
"Don't you think that guy is fine?" Julie said as she pointed at a tall dark brown-haired boy.
Joanna looked at Julie and then at the guy.
"Yeah, yeah....he's gorgeous!" she snapped as she grabbed her guy's and lead him to the exit.
Julie watched her walk away.
"Thanks!" she exclaimed. "Like I need you anyway?!?"
In the club 1:46 a.m.
I'm in love.....
Christina looked deeply into Marc's eyes. Every word he said and everything he did only made her want him more.
"Enjoying yourself?" he whispered to her.
She nodded.
"Lets go somewhere where we can be alone." he said as he drew her closer.
Christina looked closely at him. The way he looked at her made her melt.
"Okay." she said quietly, as he took her hand and lead her somewhere dark.
In the hotel 3:02 a.m.
Sleep, oh-so-sweet sleep.....
Joanna walked toward the door of her hotel room. Looking at her watch she realized it was 3 o'clock in the morning and she wasn't even tired.
She searched through her purse as she tried to find her key. As she was putting the key in the door, she heard some noises coming for the room, but figured it was just Julie and Christina fighting again.
She quietly opened the door to find pitch-black darkness, so she felt for the light switch and flicked it on.
"Holy shit!" she heard Christina yell.
Joanna's mouth dropped as she watched Marc jump out of the bed.....
