Erica's life was far from perfect, far from exciting. She had the best friends anyone could ask for, the grades, the clothes, and some might even say the looks, but she was never fully happy. Her friends were all dating, and she was longing for a relationship of her own. Going into her third year of high school, she thought it was particularly strange for her having not had a serious romantic relationship ever in her life. She thought it to be pathetic. She had given up on finding love quite a while ago, when she realized the basic boys at her school were never going to drastically change and become her Prince Charming. She figured that when the end of her high school life approached, she would be able to meet new people and find someone worth it. She just hoped that day would come sooner rather than later.
Erica had been waiting for her highly anticipated Florida trip for months, and it had finally come! Sitting on the plane with her headphones on and her eyes glued to a book was one of the best feelings she had experienced in a long time. Nothing beats the annual Florida summer vacation.
"I hope we meet some nice people, just like our sisters had when they came at our age," said Maria.
Maria was Erica's cousin and bestfriend. Erica was 16, and Maria 14. This age gap didn't make much of a difference though, people always assumed Maria and Erica were the same age, if not than assumed Maria was older. Her height played a huge part on this common assumption. Maria had brought her cousin Serina (also 16) to Florida that summer, someone who Erica was very fond of. The three girls were ready for vacation, little did they know they would soon be living the best summer of a lifetime.
