Arrive at the hotel

The group met at luggage claim, and Tori, still shaken from what had just transpired, wasn’t even looking at the bags going past her.

“Girl what’s up with you” Molly innocently asked her friend. It had been weird between the two for the last year. Tori distanced herself from her and Lily, but the pair of them couldn’t figure out why. Now she and Lily were trying to figure out what was wrong with their friend, who was pale as a ghost.

“Oh its nothing, I’m just a little sick from the flight. That airplane food isn’t that good is it?” Tori joked.

“Well I guess any length of time next to Ollie would make you ill” Lily laughed, actually feeling sorry for her friend. Like Molly she didn’t know what had happened between them and Tori, but she wanted to fix their friendship on this trip.”

“Yeah, I can’t believe I ever liked him, what the fuck was I thinking.” M0lly said to the two

“Yeah Molly, you really fucked up. Big time.” Tori said with scorn in her voice, before noticing her suitcase and leaving to pick it up. She knew almost immediately that that was wrong. But she was angry at the position she had been put in, and in a way, blamed Molly for it. When she arrived at the luggage claim, she noticed that the suitcase was in the hands of Marco, with gave her the case with a smile on his fade

“Thanks” she then walked away from him. She felt bad that she didn’t feel the way about Marco that he felt about her. She wanted to, badly. But the fact was, all she saw him was as a friend. She didn’t know why, she just did. Or maybe, she had some unresolved issues with his best friend.

Meanwhile, Lily and Molly were wondering what had happened to their friend.

“What was her problem” Molly groaned

“Dunno, maybe she’s just jetlagged,” Lily replied, trying to support her friend.

“Geez, do you she’s been jetlagged for the last six months. I’m starting to get tired of her shit.”

The group were now standing outside the minibus, now just waiting for Miss Lamb to return from the bathroom, and when she did. Mr Hunter laid out some rules

“Ok kids, you’re old enough and ugly enough to know that you’re representing the school on this trip, so I expect the following rules to be respected. Breakfast is at 8.00. We leave half an hour later, miss the bus and you miss the activities. Normally we’ll arrive back at the hotel at 5.00. Dinner is at 7.00. After that you’re free to go wherever you want in the city. As long as you’re back by 10.30. If you’re running late, either call me or Miss Lamb and let us know your ETA. Remember. Three strikes and you’re out on the first plane back. Get caught drinking and it’s an automatic out.”

The group nodded their heads and got on the minibus taking them to the hotel.

“Man, Stanley ain’t fucking around is he” Xander joked. The school kids regularly called Mr Hunter Stanley, due to his striking resemble to the character from “The Office”.

“I love how I got the entire school saying that.” Danny said, acting like it was the greatest achievement of his life.

“You’re a liar” Lily hit back

“Uh, I said that in freshman Algebra.” Danny joked, while patting her on the head, like a child. He loved to piss off Lily, it’s what they had done since they knew each other. But one person messed with him more than any one.

“Danny, you know Dad’s the one who said that, remember, little brother.” Molly said, knowing how much it pissed off Danny to be reminded that he was born ten minutes after his sister

“No way, I’m the one who told him”

“No, I remember you, Marco and Xander were watching WWE and Dad just saw your report Card and asked when Stanley gave you a D-. By the way, it’s so lame that you still watch that“

“Oh please, you watched it all the time. You literally spent two hours just waiting for John Cena.”

“Yeah, well I’m not the one who got a boner whenever Kelly Kelly came on” The entire coach roared with laughter as Danny’s face turned red. Even Hunter and Lamb chuckled. Danny hated being humiliated, especially as Jessica was now laughing at his misfortune. Xander then put one arm around him.

“I feel you bro. Trish Stratus”. Marco then nodded his head in agreement

“Candice Michelle.”

The minibus arrived and Hunter told the class who would be staying with who.

Danny and Xander
Marco and Ollie
Jessica and Amber
Tori, Lily and Molly

Marco cursed his luck that he had to stay with the asshole. It was for the best, if it was Danny or Xander, punches were going to be thrown. Ollie grabbed the key and went straight up to the room. Unaware that Hunter just told the group that only one key per room would be given. Marco was not that bothered, he was gonna hang with his best friends the entire week. Life wasn’t easy for the Cuban, being the eldest of six children in a poor family, it seemed impossible that he would be going on the trip. But after working four nights a week at the Target store, as well as his father’s garage, he just about saved enough to get the cash needed to go. He now just needed to make sure othing spoilt his week.

“Hey boys” Amber and Jessica walked up to the trio, Amber then handed Danny a note before leaving for their rooms.

“Guys, we smuggled some vodka and rum on the flight, come to ours at eleven so, we can have a little party”
