“We’re gonna be late!” Amy Evans screamed up the steps of the apartment she shared with her three friends.
It was the beginning of December and they were going on a cruise. It started off in Florida and traveled to several little islands throughout the week. They had just recently graduated from high school and decided to start college the next year. Amy is 18 yrs. old and 5’8”. She has dirty blonde hair and grayish-blue eyes.
“We’ll be down in a minute” Kristen Capper replied. She is 18 and 5’9”. She has dark brown hair and green eyes.
“I don’t have a minute. I wanna go on vacation!” Amy said impatiently.
“Take a chill pill girl! We have about two hours until we leave for the airport and you know it only takes about a half hour to get there” Catelyn Bergan replied walking down the steps, carrying two suitcases. She is also 18 and 5’5”. She has dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes.
“Sorry, I just can’t believe the four of us are finally going on this cruise” Amy said excitedly.
“I’m a little excited, too. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll meet some hot guys on this cruise”
“You know I’m still trying to get over Ben” Stephanie Smith said coming down with her luggage also. She is 18 and 5’6”. She has brown hair and blue eyes.
“Please Steph, once you see one hot guy, you won’t remember who Ben is” Cate said.
“Oh just shut up” Stephanie replied.
“Kristen’s still upstairs?” Amy asked.
“Yeah she’s still packing. Maybe someone should go help her” Steph said.
“I’ll go check on her and see what is taking her so long” Amy said heading upstairs.
“So who is going on this ‘Millennium Cruise’?” Cate asked.
“A few music groups but they didn’t mention who. I just hope there are some hot guys on this cruise” Steph said smiling.
“There you go again, thinking about hot guys again. What am I going to do with you?” Cate asked.
*Upstairs*
“Yo Kris, you need any help in there?” Amy asked, knocking on the door.
“I guess. I can’t seem to get this stupid suitcase shut” She said frustrated.
“Let me help you” Amy said walking into the room. She looked over at Kristen and noticed she had been crying. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’m fine. I’ve never felt better” Kristen lied.
“Don’t give me that shit, if it’s about what happened six months ago…” Amy began saying but Kristen interrupted.
“I would rather not talk about it. It happened six months ago, I’ll get over it”
“Are you guys ready yet? I figured we could go to lunch” Stephanie yelled up the steps, waiting for a reply.
“Sure, we’ll be down in a minute” Amy yelled back, then more quietly asked, “Do you need a hug, sis?” Amy asked. The four of them had been friends for a very long time so they considered themselves sisters.
“Maybe that would help ease this pain a little” Kristen said as Amy gave her a hug.
“You are going to get through this, it just might take a while” Amy replied as she rolled up her sleeves. Kirsten noticed a dark bruise from the corner of her eye. She was about to ask her about it, but was interrupted.
“Yeah it will but it’ll be okay. How about we go to McDonald’s?”
“Mickey D’s sounds like a good lunch to me. Let’s go tell the other two” Amy said as they headed out of Kristen’s room towards downstairs.
