Holidays. Something that most people enjoy and love, but not me. I don't like being on holiday, in fact, I hate it. To be honest, I may as well be back home because I just do the same thing as I would do back at home. And that is either rolling around on the floor questioning the meaning of life or just be procrastinating by chilling on my laptop all day. And to think this 'holiday' could get any worse. But oh it can! I'm stuck here for two weeks without any wifi at all. Two weeks without any freaking wifi. And I thought staying here for two weeks was the worst. Fuck this hotel.
I wish my parents didn't force me into going. I'm twenty years old for gods sake not two! I can look after myse-
My thoughts got rudely interrupted by a knock at the door. I slowly got up from my slouched position on this uncomfortable excuse of a bed and went to the door, knowing that it was probably Sage or Tyde since they said they wanted to come back from the beach early. I twisted the door knob to the right and then pulled open the door.
"So how was the bea-" I started but cut myself off as I was greeted with the unfamiliar face of a boy. Shit.
"Oh my, I'm sorry! I'm the janitor of this hotel and I came to clean your room, but I can come back later if you want," He said and flashed me an apologetic smile, showing his pearly white teeth.
"N-no, it's fine," I said and looked up to study his face properly. He had bright green and glossy eyes which were really quite nice, sandy brown hair which was flattened out and a really nice smile.
"Oh... Okay," He said as I moved out the way of the door so he could get past me with his cleaning trolley. I then went and sat on the painted-white wooden chair that was located in the corner of the room and whipped out my phone that was in my front pocket. I started the tap the screen to make it seem like I was actually doing something on my phone. Hell, I haven't even turned it on. It just makes it less awkward since I have no idea what to do.
After a couple of minutes, to my surprise, the green-eyed boy started talking to me,"So how long are you staying here for?"
I looked up to see him changing my sisters bed sheets,"O-oh, two weeks... Sadly,"
"Sadly? Is it because you want to stay longer?" He asked and turned to face me as he had just finished making Sage's bed.
"No," I replied to him.
"No?" He asked, confusion laced his voice.
"Yeah, no. I hate it here, no offence. I just hate holidays. I'd rather be back in Perth where I can actually get wifi," I said and sighed.
"You hate holidays? You're so lucky, I'd kill to go on holiday, but I cant afford to. Do you not like holiday just because of having no wifi?"
"Kinda. But I just generally hate holidays, I may as well be back home because I just do exactly the same things,"
"Well, as a member of staff, it's my duty to make sure our guests are happy and obviously it's clear that you are not. So to try and make this holiday that tiny bit better, I could give you the staff wifi password which works rather well," He said and grinned.
"You can do that?" I ask, a smile starting to form upon my lips.
"No, I just said that to get your hopes up," Sarcasm laced his voice as he rolled his eyes.
I rolled my eyes and smiled,"Yes please! Thank you!"
"I'll give it you once I've finished cleaning up, you can go back to tapping the blank screen," He chuckled and winked at me as he went back to bed making. I felt my cheeks heat up as I shook my head. In the end, I ended up watching whatever his name is make the rest of the beds.
After he had finished making the beds and tidying up the room, he gave me the glorious wifi password. As he was just about to leave, I got up out of my seat and grabbed onto his wrist to stop him from going anywhere. He turned to me, a confused expression playing on his face.
"I just wanted to ask what your name is," I said and looked down, a little embarrassed.
He chuckled,"Connor. Connor Franta," and then left without saying another word. Connor? Cool.

"But mom! Why can't Sage go or something?" I whined. My mom is currently trying to get forced to go to the store to get some chips. Keyword; Trying.
"Because all you have done today is be anti-social and stay in the room all day!" She said and tutted me.
"But that's what I do normally and you know it. Whats the big difference now?" I said and crossed my arms, frowning.
"Troye..." She warned as she gave me the stink eye.
I huffed,"Fine," I got some money off my mom and headed out the room. I suppose LA isn't that bad, I'd just rather be at home. I walked down the lobby and out of the main hotel doors. I then made my way down the streets of LA, taking in the beauty of the ombré pink sunset which painted the sky.
As soon as I came (A/N I'm too dirty minded hELP) across the nearest store, I walked in to be greeted by the familiar packaging of chips. I picked up a large bag and headed over to the checkout to pay. At the checkout sat a boy who looked quite a bit older than me, late twenties I guess. He had dark blonde hair and big black rimmed glassed.
"Oh hey! Is this all you want to purchase?" He asked, giving me a big smile.
"Uh, yeah," I said and mentally rolled my eyes. That is literally the dumbest question to ask right now. If I wanted anything else, I would have brought the item up with me to the checkout. Freaking dumbass.
"That'll be two dollars please," He said and I handed him the money. He quickly gave me the change and said,"Thank you sir, have a nice day!"
"You too. See you around.." I said, waiting for his name.
"Tyler... Cool accent by the way," He said and smiled.
"Thanks, bye," I said and walked out of the store. He's kinda cute.. But not my type.
