Allison thinks this is just another boring school trip but with new friends along the way, bitchy queen bees, fun pranks and a haunting past, Allison’s life is about to be filled with what her life lacked for the 18 years of her life; drama. Add a sweet Asian guy, some bloody rude hottie to the picture, and you can say Allison really is ready for an hilarious summer romance.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1.

Maybe if we tell people the brain is an app, they'll start using it.

I'd like to see myself as brainy, but there are times when I put the spoon into the dustbin and place the actual trash in the sink. That wouldn't be much of a surprise if you've known me for a long period of time. The thing is, no matter how much I'm being crowned the Queen of awkwardness, I still managed to also get crowned Prom Queen during the last prom instead of Alexa Stratham.

Who is Alexa Stratham?

That's not the point.

I have bigger problems. 

Senior year went by fast this year, and as I had previously planned, I didn't make the most of it. Another year of high school wasted. College could make up for it but that's still months away from now. I topped my last exams, so candidate scholarships barreled out from different angles I never expected.

I chose PreLaw, definitely not because my Pops asked me to, but I've also chosen Theater. The University of Albuquerque offers me both. That's where I'm going to be attending this fall.

I happened to turn the big 'eighteen' hours ago and it's like I was expecting my body to transform overnight into my own ordained body type since adulthood had started, but my scrawny self stared back at me in the bathroom mirror last night. In the glass, fogged from my shower, my skin looked pale as usual. As I subconsciously laid a hand on my breasts, long fingers and short trimmed nails became visible.

My arms still looked a little thin. There didn't seem to be any excess flab at my waist or hips. At about five-four, I wish I was taller. A unicorn-shaped tattoo laid at the side of my butt. It was crazy at first, exposing that particular part of the human anatomy to some needle-wielding stranger but at last, peer pressure conquered it all.

I groan when I feel a hand nudge my shoulders and cocoon the sheets closer to my body. It's a Saturday and I need my quality sleep, I haven't been getting those in the past couple of days. According to study, sleep helps your brain to forge new connections and helps memory retention plus without enough sleep, your brain and body systems won't function normally. No wonder my brain keeps telling me to do weird stuff these few days.

"Wake up you lobster!" Comes a voice beside me before I feel something hit me hard across the face, jolting me out of my dreamless slumber. My eyes fly open on instinct, staring at my kid sister wide-eyed.

"Did you just hit me in the face?" My gaze falls to the object dangling in her grip. "With a slab of raw meat?"

"Quit whining," Mabel rolls her grey colored eyes which are similar to mine and holds her phone to my face. "Simone wants you on the phone."

I snatch the cell phone from her hand and bring it to my ear.

"Why don't you ever pick up your phone?!" My best friend's shrilling voice pierces through my eardrums and I shift the phone a little farther from my ear.

"Could you like, talk without screaming? I'm not deaf."

"I just want to ask one question," She says, suddenly sounding calm. "You're not just waking up, are you?"

"Is there a problem with that?"

"We're supposed to be at the airport an hour ago you lunatic!" I stumble over my bed and fall on my butt at the realization and shock that I forgot about our trip to Hawaii. We've planned this whole thing four years ago, how could I forget at the very last minute? Our flight leaves at 11 am and I cuss under my breath when I see my alarm clock strike 10:15.

"I'm driving over to your house right now. Get ready in five or the crew's going to leave us." She says and hangs up.

"You screwed up again, didn't you?"

"Just get out." I shove Mabel out of my room and try to focus on getting ready under five minutes. I can't blow this up, Simone would murder me. She's been dreaming about this day since I came up with the idea of doing something fun when we're done with high school, like going on a trip on our own with the rest of the school. We've been to various school trips but why is this one different? One thing is clear, we the students sponsored the whole thing plus there's no teacher chaperoning us. We're adults now. We can handle ourselves, or so we think.

I'm glad I already had my luggage packed last night. Maybe I saw this whole thing coming that's why I already got my things done early. I didn't want to leave behind a single thing, especially not the neck-chain now resting by the side zip of my bag. I take it everywhere I go with me like it's a part of my own body.

I stand in front of my mirror to style my hair after I dash in and out of the bathroom. I don't have enough time to wash my hair, so I cover it in hairspray. I'm wearing a denim mini skirt and a yellow crop top that exposes the lower part of my belly.

I grab my makeup kit and about putting on the eyeliner when my sister yells my name, making me smudge my makeup.

"Allie! You're going to be late. What are you waiting for? Christmas?"

Kid sisters are the worst I tell you. If your parents ever have a new baby girl, put her in a box and ship her to China before she turns fifteen.

I drag my traveller's bag down the stairs and reach out for the door when I hear my Mom's voice behind me.

"You're leaving already?" I turn around to face my Mom standing in the kitchen. "At least give me a hug before you go."

"Tell me why I'm not allowed to come to this trip again?" Mabel asks as I rush over to envelope Mom in a hug.

"Sophomores aren't allowed. It's strictly Seniors, Capiche?"

"But... But..." She goes silent for a minute. "Yeah, that makes sense."

"Bye Mom!" I reach out for the door when I hear her call me again.

"Wait, have breakfast before you leave."

I hear Simone's car horn outside the house as I carry the whole bowl of beef soup with me, watching as Mom and Mabel exchange weird looks.

Simone brings out her head from the window of the white Mustang when I'm outside on the porch. "Move your butt!"

It's not even afternoon yet and I'm already feeling sweaty and sticky from the scalding sun battering down my back. One of the main reasons why I hate summer.

I scurry into the backseat of the car and notice Simone's not the one in the driver's seat, but her brother.

"When did Zach get back from college?" I ask.

"Last night," Simone answers. "Says he's not used to the cafeteria's food."

"Why is he such a wimp?"

"I know right?"

"Hey! I'm sitting right here." We both stick out our tongues at him as he shakes his head in defeat.

Despite being siblings, Zach and Simone share no resemblance in common, because of course, they both got adopted by two Moms. I first found out their family relationship years ago and blanked out for a bit, trying to figure out how two vaginas got to reproduce children. I thought I had been lied to my whole life.

"What's that on your hand?" Simone points to the bowl of beef soup between my hands.

"It's my breakfast. Big surprise," I roll my eyes and dig into the soup. The rest of the car ride is filled with nonstop banter from me and Zach after I mistakenly spilt soup in his new car.

Someone had to tell the guy the stain can easily be removed if I lick it off the car seat hard enough, but he says he doesn't want my saliva anywhere his car, so the banter went on and on until he stops abruptly in front of the airport.

"And stay away from my sister while I'm gone," I say and slam the door shut when I'm out of the car with my luggage. "She's five years younger than you. Don't be a paedophile."

"Come on, age is just a number."

"And jail is just a room."

I feel someone drag my ears towards the entrance of the airport and I yelp. "Leave my dumb brother alone. We're late."

"ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS BOARDING FLIGHT 666 FROM FORT MYERS TO HAWAII, THE CHECK-IN COUNTER WOULD CLOSE IN TEN MINUTES."

We both sprint past the crowd of people roaming the airport when I bump into someone, which sends my handbag flying across the floor with my things scattered everywhere.

Oh crap.

"Watch where you're going," Says a deep voice as he bends too to pick up his stuff.

"We don't have time, hurry!" Simone's panicked voice makes me hastily shove everything into my bag and I get back on my feet to keep up with her strides.

"What the hell was that back there?"

"I bumped into some sicko..."

"There they are!" She points to our crew and drags me by the hand.

"We are going to be late, where's Allie and Simone?" We hear Cory groan.

"Allie and Simone reporting!" Both of us say at the same time as I place my hands on my knees to catch my breath from all that running.

"You guys are an hour late," Cory says and runs a hand through his dark hair in frustration. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my all-time crush, Cory Simpson. Not just my crush, he's every girl's but I got privileged to be noticed by him, but there's that stupid word called friend zone he decides to put me in. Cory's half Asian half American which makes him all the more wanted by hormonal teenage girls.

Is it just me or Asian guys who are exceptionally hot? I can feel my cheeks heating up from his mere gaze. He's staring me down and I'm grinning widely at him, ignoring stink eyes I'm getting from girls I recognize from English Literature class.

"There's beef crumb hanging from your teeth," Cory says which earns a lot of snickers from his fangirls. He tears his gaze from me and walks over to meet the rest of the guys.

"You didn't tell me there was beef in my teeth!" I snap at Simone and fetch for a floss inside my bag.

"It wasn't so noticeable until you had to grin that hard."

"Wait..." I spot a familiar brunette walk up to Cory and runs her hand down his chest.

"Who in the Lord's name invited Alexa Stratham?"

You might have guessed who Alexa is. My rival since middle school. The little flirt stole my boyfriend when we were twelve and now she's after Cory.

"Probably Cory. She follows him everywhere he goes, like flies when they see rotten food." Simone concludes. "Will you be okay with her coming along?"

Even if I'm not, there's absolutely nothing I can do but watch her ogle at Cory. I plan to have the best summer spent in Hawaii and no one's going to piss me off, not even a certain dumb brunette.

"I have just one thing to say," A small smile makes its way to my lips. "Simone, let's go to Hawaii."

Chapter 2.
"Ladies and gentlemen, flight 666 to Hawaii, Honolulu is now ready for boarding. Please proceed to Gate D for departure. Thank you." The PA system signals that our flight is ready for boarding."That's us!" A very ecstatic Simone chirps as we start to queue along with the rest of the school. I hear a commotion happening behind the queue and turn around to look at what's going on. Not a commotion. It's just Cory giving some group of guys bro hugs and conversing in loud voices. I don't recognize them from school. I don't even recognize them anywhere. "Who are they?" I nudge Simone slightly with my elbow."Those are the Kingston boys.""The who?"She brings out a lip balm from her purse and applies it on her chapped lips, smacking them sleekly. "They're our neighboring school. We've played a couple of games together before. They beat us." Simone is the captain of the Basketball team. Her brother was until he graduated h

Chapter 3.
I wake the next morning to the sun shining through the drape covered windows, warming my pillows and blanket comfortably.The pretty perfect way to wake on a morning isn't it? Too bad that's not how my morning began."I swear to all things sweet and holy, if I find out it was stolen there would be bloodshed," I fume with indescribable rage. "Relax. I'm sure it'll be around here somewhere."The room is a mess. All three of our single beds are turned upside down and our boxes are spread out open on the floor in search of my silver neck chain. I was just about putting it on to go for a morning walk when I discovered it was no longer in my bag. I haven't seen it since I arrived in Hawaii but that doesn't mean I forgot it back at home. I always carry it in my bag so I'm still trying to figure out why I can't find it anymore. "It's just a neck chain, I can get you a new one," I shoot Lacey a hard glare from her statement and walk

Chapter 4.
One word: Silence.The music stops, gasps are heard, followed by the sound of someone's fart. I'm not that much of a fighter, neither do I have anger management issues. In fact, I can count the number of times I've gotten mad throughout my human existence but this tops it all. It also tops the time I went for a house party Junior year and got dared to go home during a game of Truth or Dare. Teenagers are evil.Noah doesn't make any move and stays still after the first punch lands on his jaw as if trying to process in his brain what just happened. Before he can fully react, I pounce on him."You bloody thief!" I screech, continuously driving my fists into his face. He uses his arms to dodge my blows as I aim for his chest area instead. I'm about to aim for his face again when I feel large arms wrap themselves around my waist and yank me off him. "Let me at him!" I struggle against Cory's tight grip. "What's your problem?!" C

Chapter 5.
I sink down the water like a rock.As I sink, I look up the water above me. Distorted lights dance at the top of the water and it feels warm against my skin. It would have been peaceful, except for the fact that I swallowed in gallons of pool water already into my mouth and nose and is struggling for my life. How deep is this damn pool?My lungs begin to ache for air as I use my hands to flap and yank myself upwards. I cough out water from my mouth like a fountain and take in a breath of fresh air, reminiscing how I could have could've died seconds ago I didn't know how to swim. With a hand, I wipe off the water running down my face to glare at an unconcerned looking Noah. "You pushed me!" I yell. "Tell me something I don't know." I'm still trying to gasp for air, not believing he's cool with almost killing a person. "It's smaller than I thought." I frown deeply. "What?""I can see through your shi

Chapter 6.
I force another spoonful of food into my mouth and smile awkwardly at Simone. "So? How is it?" She asks. "It's great, never tasted anything like it." I'm not a very good liar but I'm sure that comes out as believable because she beams. I glance at the rest of the guys on the table and we all share awkward looks.You might be wondering what's going on. Well for starters, I think any meal Simone cooks should come out of the pot with a label that says: Eat me if you want to die. The Salmon resting on my plate stares at me and I stare back. So earlier today, we came up with the idea of learning new traditional Hawaiian foods. We see the hotel chefs doing their thing every time in the kitchen and we got inspired. I mean, if they can, why can't we?I found out the answer to that question today. They have a Culinary art diploma while we have a High school diploma.We went for the Lomi Salmon because it looked the easiest to make.

Chapter 7.
"You shouldn't have texted in the first place," I say and exit the lounge with Lacey behind, saying something about what outfit she'll rock to tonight's club party but I block her out when the evening wind hits my face. I take a few steps into the parking lot and look down at the water, which looks almost orange in the glow of the sun. I spot a few surfers out in the waves who looked like they weren't about leaving anytime soon.It's going to be Friday night within a couple of hours, which means everyone is ditching their works already to get ready for clubbing tonight. I'm not going. As much as I love just the sound of the word 'party' itself, I'm going to have to bunk in on this one. Mom and Mabel have already scheduled out tonight to Skype with me. I didn't talk to them yet since I arrived in Hawaii, only random texts from Mabel telling me about Mom's attempt at a dating site and her stupid Kermit the Frog memes.The sun disappears behind t

Chapter 8.
Silence to me, is torture. It seems like an ordinary Friday night, so to speak, except from the fact that I'm boxed up in a truck with a boy who doesn't look too thrilled to be breathing in the same air with me.The silence stretches between us like a long, fat rope, tightening me around the neck as if to suffocate the living daylights out of me. I shift uncomfortably in my seat before outstretching my arms to turn on the radio. The sound of music might keep me alive for awhile.Marvin Gaye's Sexual healing blasts loudly through the speakers and I realize I shouldn't have turned on the radio. Baby, I'm hot just like an ovenI need some lovin' And baby, I can't hold it much longerIt's getting stronger and strongerMy hand goes up to awkwardly scratch the back of my neck, my eyes darting in all corners of the truck to find something that'll catch my attention and keep me away from staring at him. A

Chapter 9.
My cellphone blares at some ungodly hour of the morning, waking me out of my blissful slumber. I roll over and slap a hand on my nightstand till it finds my phone. It takes me some seconds to figure out how to answer the stupid call, then I bring it to my ears and grunt out an hello."I can't sleep.""Excuse me?" I take a peek at the caller ID and see Mabel's name boldly written there. "Have you tried closing your eyes?""Sometimes I wonder how we're related. Anyway, I've got big news.""Can't it wait till when every normal human being is awake?""Zach asked me out."I sit upright on my bed, suddenly very awake now. "ZACH DID WHAT?!"There's going to be a funeral when I get back home to Florida. "Calm your tits, I didn't give him an answer yet. What do you think?"A sharp pain jabs at the walls of my stomach and I wince, scurrying out of bed into the bathroom as I flicker on the lights. I groan when I see my pajama

Chapter 10.
When I'm done in the bathroom, I step back into the room and set our alarm clock to go off in five minutes, then lock it up in a box and shove it under Simone's bed. She'd be so thrilled.I step into the hallway next and head for Cory's room. I can't be the only one having a bad morning. A few girls are already up and loitering in the hallway and lobby, taking orders from Renee before scattering out to get to work. I burst open the door to Cory's room without knocking even after reading the sign Do not disturb. I'm know I'm acting like an annoying little sister right now. The boys room is decent and well kept unlike what I originally had in mind. I wasn't exactly expecting a dumpster of a room and I also wasn't expecting it to be so well organized. All three of their beds are neatly made and the soft music playing at the background makes the serenity feel more warm. Noah is already awake but still on his bed, holding a book
