Chapter 3

I go into our hotel room to get my cell phone. I call Kali to find out where she is. She tells me she is by the pool. I throw on my bikini and head down to it. I see her lounging on a beach chair and sit in the one next to her.

“Hey! How was the drive?” I say.

“Long, awkward, boring. My mom brought her newest boyfriend.”

Kali’s parents got divorced a few years ago and her mom is constantly getting new boyfriends every couple of months. She hates it.

“Well, I have something to make up for the horrible drive! We have a double date tonight! We are going mini golfing at 7 with a boy I met named Colton and his friend!”

She flips down her sunglasses and smiles at me. Kali is a very pretty girl. She has long brown hair with natural blonde highlights in it. Her eyes are blue and her skin is always tan. She is very skinny and an extremely fast runner.

“Well, what are we doing sitting here? It’s five o’clock! We need to go get ready!” she says.

She grabs me by the hand and drags me up t our rooms. They are right next to each other, just as we had wanted. The rest of the soccer team isn’t here yet but our families wanted to get settles before everyone got here. Some are coming tomorrow and the rest will come the day after that. 

We go into her room and she picks out her outfit. She is wearing white shorts and  a flowing tank top with floral prints on it. Then we head to my room and she picks out a pair of jean shorts for me and a black V neck shirt. Then we start our hair. She straightens mine and I curl hers. Neither of us are good at doing our own hair so we usually do each other’s. Then we apply mascara and eye liner. We are finally done.

I check my phone and it is says that it is 6:45. We slip on our flip flops and dab our favorite perfume onto our necks.

“How do I look?” says Kali. 

“Awesome!” I reply.

“So do you! Now lets go meet these gorgeous soccer players!”

That is one of the things I love about Kali. She doesn’t get shy. 

We head towards the lobby and sit in the chairs the reception desk to wait. after about five minutes I see the elevator doors open up. Then out comes Colton and his friend. His friend has blonde hair that sticks up in spikes. His brown eyes are pretty but Colton’s are much better. He is almost as tall as Colton and has a smile on his face.

I lean over towards Kali and whisper,” The one with brown hair is Colton, the guy I met. The other one is his friend.”

She smiles and stands up to introduce herself. It turns out that Colton’s Friends name is Erik. He and Kali hit it off really well and go right into conversations about soccer.

“Hi Reagan! You look really pretty.” says Colton. My cheeks flush and I smile. 

“Thank You!” I say,”Ready to go?”

“Yup, its about a 10 minute walk.”
