“To Oceanview Avenue please,” Katrina said politely as she hauled her 2 huge suitcases into the back seat.
“No problem,” the taxi driver said with a smile.
Katrina watched as her house, her street and her school passed by them. ‘Have I made the right decision?’ Katrina thought miserably. ‘They’ll be better off without me so that I don’t get in their way’ Katrina decided. Soon they arrived at Oceanview Avenue.
“That’ll be $10.00 please,” the taxi driver told her.
“Here you go,” Katrina said, pulling out a ten dollar bill and a 5 dollar bill (for a tip) out of her wallet.
She got out of the car and pulled her two large suitcases out of the car. ‘Wow!’ Katrina thought as she gazed at the large cruise ship in front of her. She lugged her suitcases over the where a lady was standing, checking tickets. Katrina quickly retrieved hers from her messy purse. She prayed the women wouldn’t ask how old she was, you had to be 18 to go on the ship alone and Katrina was only 14. Luckily she looked much older then she really was. She had gorgeous, long, wavy chestnut colored hair and big green eyes. She was very tan and curvy and was about 5’8”.
“Hello how are you today?” the women asked as she skimmed over the ticket Katrina had handed over to her.
“I’m fine thank you,” Katrina replied.
“Here’s your key for your cabin, it’s number 525 on the 5th deck,” the women said with a smile as she handed Katrina back her ticket and a key.
“Thank you very much,” Katrina said.
**AN- I hope you guys don’t think I actually know what I’m writing about. I have no idea how this cruise ship thing works, I’m just guessing, kay. Sorry if I’m not correct, just pretend I am. Incase your wondering their traveling from Florida to Hawaii and it’s a 3 week long cruise there and a 3 week cruise back**
She took her bags on the cruise ship and hauled them up to her cabin. She put the key in the keyhole and turned the key. She opened the door and peered inside. She saw a bed with an aqua colored blanket, a small love seat, a t.v., a small table and a lamp and some dressers. She walked farther inside and saw a bathroom with a shower, a sink and a toilet, of course. Everything was bolted to the floor so that they wouldn’t tip over or slide if the boat went over a wave or something. ‘This is home for awhile’ Katrina thought with a sigh. She longed for her big bedroom, with it’s own CD player and television and her soft, comftorable bed with a cream colored quilt. Katrina put her suitcases in the closet. ‘It’s so hot’ Katrina thought. The hot Florida sun was shining brightly in the sky and there was no clouds, just bright blue sky. She quickly got changed into a lighter outfit: a emerald green striped halter top with white Calvin Klien jean shorts and a pair of tan leather sandals. She quickly brushed her hair and put it up in a ponytail with a matching emerald green elastic. She frowned at her reflection in the mirror. Her mascara was smudged and all over her cheeks. She instantly regreated not wearing waterproof mascara. She washed her face with a warm cloth and then reapplied her makeup. ‘There, perfect’ Katrina thought with a smile. She grabbed her white tote bag, and headed out the door.
