"Umm I am in room 4a I think..." Liv said as she pulled a ticket out of her handbag and checked it "Yeah 4a" she said with a smile. She had taken an instant liking to Claire, she seemed nice and friendly and someone that she wouldnt mind getting to know a whole lot better while they were on the ship. "I guess we had better get on board and go and find our room?" Liv stated as she stood up, hoping to continue talking to Claire as they walked. "So what is your special talent?"

"Um....I play guitar, and write short stories, poems, and my own music for guitar...." Claire said nervously. She had hoped that this wouldn't come up so soon. Would Liv not like her now, just like her family didn't, because of her talent? Claire stood up, and gathered her bags. She took them almost all in her right hand, and used her left hand to swing her purse up onto her shoulder. Her hand dropped almost immediately back to her side as Claire looked back up at Liv. "What's your talent?" Claire asked, hoping she hadn't scared Liv off. Obviously not, since she was still standing there, smiling. Claire smiled, her lips pressed together as to not give away her emotions, and how excited she felt that Liv was still there. She knew her eyes would be sparkling now, but she didn't care. Her hair was already half-way covering them, so why should she care if Liv saw the other half? She would probably think it was just because of the lights. Claire took a deep breath, and tucked her hair on one side behind her ear. She looked at Liv, just about her whole face showing. Her mouth widened, until her perfectly white teeth were showing. She wasn't hiding her eyes, or her mouth, and how good it felt.

Jake looked around at his room after shoving his bags in the back of his closet. Nice. Everything was unpacked, and put in it's place, for now at least. Until later that night, when everything would be flung onto the ground as he searched for something. Jake let out a small bark of laughter, thinking about his mom as he thought that. His thoughts went back to the last time he had cleaned his room, at the beginning of the summer, and what his mom said the next day. "Didn't you just clean this yesterday?" She had said. Jake had nodded, and felt a tingling in his cheek, knowing he was blushing. "Then why is everything all messy again?" She had demanded. Jake looked around. "I couldn't find my iPod last night," Jake replied, grabbing the large video iPod off the nightstand by his bed. "So this happened?" She had shrieked, motioning toward the now-un-seeable floor of his room. "Yup," Jake nodded, smiling guiltily. Jake had never been good at keeping things clean at all. He gazed around, at all his hard work. Maybe that would change now, since he was away, finally, from home. He breathed deeply, then collapsed onto his single bed, and looked intently at the ceiling. He turned his head, and saw his usual iPod dock sitting next to the alarm clock on the wooden bedside table. He pulled out one of the drawers, and grabbed his black video iPod off the top of the stack. He plugged it into the dock, and picked out his favorite song, then leaned back, and relaxed, nodding along to the beat of the fast-paced song.

Liv smiled at Claire as she explained what it was she was good at "Wow thats pretty cool. You will have to let me hear some of your stuff sometime. I mean we will be spending so much time together on here and it could be cool to get to know you a little better through your work and I am sure it is amazing" Olivia blushed as she realised she was probably talking way to much. "Sorry" she said appologising "Sometimes I just start talking and dont seem to stop. Please feel free to tell me to shut up if you need to" They walked down a corridor of the ship as Liv glanced at the numbers seeing number 4 which would be hers as she stopped and turned to Claire to answer her question. "Oh well I really only have the one talent which is dancing" she said with a smile as she put her bags down and did a little twirl laughing softly.

Tovah turned to Olivia.
"You dance? Me too! I have been dancing for 10 years now; ballet and jazz. But i've been taking Hip Hop for 6 years now," Tov nodded. "How about you? Oh and i love freestyle, like at a school dance." She smiled. "Do you know if they have dances here on the ship? Cause its our school, so maybe we'll have like Homecoming or something ..." Tovah wondered.

"Wow thats awesome, we should so get together and dance sometime or something" Olivia said with an enthusiastic smile. "I started dancing when I was about 4 and have done pretty much every style of dancing you can think of. And I think if they dont already have any dances planned then we should organise one" Liz said with a giggle

Tovah laughed. How awesome is it that she found another dancer!
"That would be awesome! But first, i would need to check the boy situtation," She winked. "I am so excited to board. Do you know when we can actually go on the boat?"

They all started walking together and the girls kinda formed a little group. "Hey guys im Khaylee" She said, already knowing Tovah. "i dance too! just...not...like that. Lets just say i like to hit the clubs" she winked and kept walking. "i think we can actually go to our rooms now" they walked onto the ship. "omg its frickin gorgeous!"

He walked up the ramp and down to his room, unlocking the key and revealing a huge bed. "this..is...a dream" he smiled and started to unpack quickly ,not wanting to have to do it later. He only saw one or two other guys on teh ship..oh well, more ladies for him.

Claire smiled. Already so many girls, with so much in common. "I'll have to let you hear my music some other time. Here's my room," Claire said, then broke away from the group. She pushed the key into the keyhole, and walked into her room. She gasped, then shut the door and squealed in delight. Claire tossed her things on the bed, making sure not to break her guitar or keyboard. She unzipped the keyboard, and pulled the stand out from the back. She set up the stand, and placed the keyboard gently on the stand, facing out the window. She could see the waves gently moving, swaying the large ship slightly. Claire brought out her guitar, and placed it on a stand, making sure it was securely in place. She started to unpack her clothes, and placed them neatly in the drawers or hung on hangers in the closet. When she finished, she placed her suitcases in her closet, next to her shoes, most of which were Converse. She looked around at her room. It was as if it was made for her. It had her favorite design in her favorite colors on the comforter: blue and black stripes. The walls were freshly painted white, and Claire could smell it. She grabbed a bottle that now sat on the counter in her bathroom, and sprayed the air. It immediately smelled like peppermint, her favorite scent, and what she sprayed on herself every day. Even her shampoo was peppermint. Claire placed it back on the bathroom counter, and smiled, satisfied. She could finally have her own room, without any siblings to bother her or steal the bathroom just when they knew she needed it. She pulled her schedule out, and saw that tonight the whole school would gather to be instructed by the "principal". They would start classes tomorrow. Claire sat down on the small folding chair, with no back, that she had brought for her piano. She thought about her feelings at that moment, and started to play. She memorized every note, and stopped a little later. She grabbed a small object from her purse, and pressed a button on the side, then started to play again. She played the whole song through, and pressed the same button. She stuck a headphone connected to the object into her hear, and pressed play. The mp3 player played the song she had just played. Claire smiled. It was one of her best pieces yet. She grabbed her guitar, and started to strum along, creating a guitar part also. She started humming along, and grabbed a notebook from under her safe spot, her matress(sp?). She flipped through the pages, her guitar resting against her stomach, and started to write incredibly fast, her handwriting looking as if she had spent forever writing it so she wouldn't mess up. But that was just her handwriting.

Jake gazed at the ceiling, humming along to the song. When it finished, he stood up, and grabbed a black and white ball from the corner. He started kicking it like it was a hacky-sack, just as easily and as if it was that small. He shuffled around his room, making sure it didn't fall on the ground. When he finished, he kicked it neatly into the corner, and walked over to his dresser. He pulled out the drawers, having something in mind to look for. He started to fling things out of his drawer, and went to the next drawer when that one was empty. When he had went through the whole dresser, he moved on to search in his closet. He still couldn't find it! He searched under his bed, and let out a triumphant cry. He held up a piece of paper, and pinned it to a bulletin board right next to the door. He looked around at his room, and groaned. Maybe this place wouldn't be different, considering he already couldn't see the floor.

"Hey Khaylee, I'm Liv. Yeah I know what you mean" She said laughing slightly as she smiled at the mention of clubs "The dancing at clubs is so amazingly fun" Olivia took her room key out of her bag as she said goodbye to Tovah and Khaylee and pulled her bag into the room and closing the door behind her. Looking around the room it was really nice, a double bed, private bathroom and really nicely decorated. Only problem was that although the room was fairly big there was not really a big enough floor space for her to dance.

Olivia unpacked all of her clothing and some of the other items she had packed. Setting the room up exactly how she liked it. Knowing however it would be a mess in a few days anyway. Olivia then decided to go and explore the ship for somewhere she could do her dancing. Grabbing her room key and locking the door behind her she headed down the hallway.

When Claire finished writing, her head jerked up. She thought heard footsteps outside her door. She shook her head, then bent her head back down to the paper. Her nose was inches from the paper. When she got into her music or writing, nothing could stop her. When she finished writing, she set the notebook down on the music holder, and started to play her song. She started to sing along, softly because she wasn't a very good singer. Maybe someone here could sing, and they could sing her music. She played the song, loud at times, and softer at other times. She smiled as she sang the last line, then she played the outro, her fingers flying across the keyboard. She pressed her pinky on one of the highest notes on the piano, and sighed. She would have to change the intro. The beginning and the ending were too similar. She would have to change that. She grabbed another notebook off the top of her dresser, and flipped through it. She played part by part of her song, then wrote them down, so she would remember them.

Jake walked over to his door, and pushed his way out. He wanted to see the rest of the ship. When he walked down the hallway, he jumped, running into a girl coming out of her room[Liv]. "I'm soooo sorry!" Jake exclaimed, helping her up. His insides were squirming in embarrassment. He had already ran over a girl, and he had just got here. So much for his new resolution.... He sighed. "Are you okay?" He asked, stuffing one hand in his pocket. He reached his other hand up and ran it through his brunette hair.

Olivia was shocked when she walked out of her room and suddenly ended up on the floor. "Thanks" she said as the guy who had run into her helpped her up. She dusted herself off a little, smiling at the guy who stood infront of her. "Dont worry about it, it was an accident and I am prefectly fine" she said slightly dismissivly of the whole incident, it not bothering her at all. She ran her fingertips through her blonde hair to fix it up slightly. "I'm Olivia, or Liv what ever you want to call me is fine" she said, feeling like she should introduce herself.

Khaylee smiled at the girl and then waved goodbye. "Tovah, i think our rooms are right next to eachother" she smiled as they reached their rooms. She took out her key and opened her door. "knock on my door when your ready to go do something" she walked into her room and did a happy dance. This was amazing. She unpacked quickly and laid on her bed. "Now all i need is some good food, a prince and some sunshine and im all set"



Colby sat around his room for a bit and then decided to go explore. He walked out the door and down the hallway. He put his headphones in and looked around, looking for something..inspiration.

Josh watched as the girls conversed with eachother with little interest. One of the girls though, Khaylee had caught his eye. She looked amazing.. He shook the thought out of his head. There was no way he had a chance with her. As one shipman said that they were allowed to go to their rooms, Josh glanced at everyone heading out to their respective room. Josh went down the B hallway and found his room. It was perfect... just to his liking.

Jake smiled. "Jake," He introduced himself. "Well....I guess I better get going," Jake said nervously. Liv was just so....pretty. "See you later?" He asked nervously.

Claire got up, and walked into the bathroom. She pulled all her hair except the parts surrounding her face up into a messy bun at her neck. When she finished, she put on some chapstick she had pulled from the white jacket pocket. She walked out, and pushed her way out of her hand. Her new song sat on the music stand, with the title at the top: Finally. Claire smiled at the title. It fit perfectly. She walked out of her room, and out to the top deck. She gazed around, and walked over to the edge. She leaned against the railing, and looked out at the shrinking land. She smiled, the water lightly misting against her face, and lapping against the distant beach. This was nice, being away from her family. She pulled a folded piece of paper from her pocket, and looked at all the different activities they had for the students. Claire smiled, seeing a music one. That would be the one for her. She folded the piece of paper back up, and stuffed it in her pocket. She leaned back against the railing, and sighed happily.

Khaylee walked outside of her room and walked down her hallway to the ice machine. she brought the bucket and started to fill it up. The hallway was even pretty in itself, she loved it here already.
For some reason the ice machine stopped and she pouted. "What the-" she banged on it with her fist.

"Yeah sure, it was nice meeting you" Liv said with a smile as she said goodbye to Josh. He seemed really nice Liv thought to herself as she began to explore the ship. Finding the dining room and a few classrooms before she found a big room with a woodern floor. This was perfect for her to use to practise her dancing. Absolutly perfect. She did a few twirls across the floor before deciding it was better if she went back to her room and got changed and ready to meet the priciple later on.

Walking back to her room she had a long shower before getting changed into a pair of tight fitting jeans and a black shirt and some black heals. She then fixed her make-up and her hair. Still with time to spare she settled herself on her bed with one of the magazines she had brought with her and began to read through it with her ipod in her ears.

Josh heard a banging on the other side of his room. "What the -?" He heard from a feminish voice. He walked out of his room, towards the sound. Noticing that it came from the next hallway down, he continued to the A hallway. There he saw the girl named Khaylee yet again. He took a deep breath. "Hey you need some help?" He called to her from the end of the hallway.

She looked down the hallway at a very tall boy. "Uhmm.yea.. it stopped working" she said, referring to the ice machine. She just kinda looked at him, almost unresponsively.

Claire turned away from the calm ocean, and walked away reluctantly. She headed down the stairs, and into her room. She looked at the clock. She had an hour until it was time to go down to the meeting with the principal. She walked into the bathroom, and pulled her hair out of it's ponytail. She grabbed a large clip, and clipped it up. She slipped into a bubble bath, which wasted away half an hour, her headphones plugged into her ear and playing songs on the piano from popular movies. When she got out of the shower, she connected her iPod to a set of small speakers, and a gorgeous song on the piano filled the bathroom. She pulled on a nice pair of light wash jeans, and a long sleeved blue and black striped shirt. It brought out the blue in her eyes, and the black looked amazing against her pale skin. She walked out of her bathroom, and grabbed a pair of blue converse low-tops, the same blue on her shirt, and the same blue in her eyes. She tied them on tightly, and walked into the bathroom. She let her hair fall over her shoulders, brushing it slowly and rhythimically with a large square brush.

Jake wandered the hallways below the rooms. He peeked in every room, and gasped as he happened across a large room. On the ground, there was fake green grass, and there were benches along the wall. On one bench, there was one lumpy bag. He yelled in delight, and grabbed a black and white ball from the bag. Jake kicked the soccer ball around. He had found one of his favorite places in the world: a soccer field. The only problem was that it wasn't outside, in the warm sun.
