Tovah had just setled in her room. How great was it that her room was next to Khaylee's and across the hall from Liv's[{i might have just made that up ... sorry (: }]? She decided to go see her new friend."Hey Liv!" Tov stood in her doorway smiling. Before she could respon, Olivia and Tovah heard Khaylee verbally abusing something. Tovah giggled and excused herself from Liv's room. She walked down the hall followning the sound of Khaylee's voice, passing Claire's room, and she stopped. Tov made a mental note of Claire's room number, wondering who was playing piano. When she got to the ice machine, there was a guy with Khaylee. "Hey guys," She said, talking to her friend and some tall, rather cute, guy. "Khaylee are you verbally abusing the ice machine?" Tov questioned, teasing her.

"Hey Tovah" Liv said with a smile as she saw her in the doorway. Upon hearing Khaylee's voice from down the corridor she took her headphones out of her ears and put her magazine down as she followed Tovah out of her room and down the corridor to see what was up. She couldnt help but laugh when she saw that the problem was the ice machine "Dont tell me things around here are broken already?" she said laughing as she leaned against the wall. "Have you tried kicking it? thats what i always do when something isnt working right" Liv said remembering her many incidents with things that wernt doing what she wanted and she ended up kicking them out of frustration.

When Claire finished brushing her hair, she left the bathroom and walked to the door of her room. She pulled it open, and heard talking down the hallway. She heard Liv, Tovah, Khaylee, and a boy's voice. She peeked her head around the wall, her hair pushed back behind her ear on one side and hanging down on the other, and saw them all gathered around something, what looked like an ice machine. Would they want her down there? Claire decided to chance it, and walked out of her room. She made her way down the hallway, and stood next to Liv. "Hey. Ice machine not working?" Claire asked, giggling. Her eyes dropped to the ground. "Have you tried plugging it in?" Claire asked. She leaned over, and picked up a plug lying on the ground, that led to the ice machine, stifling laughter. She plugged it into the outlet, and it immediately buzzed to life. Claire stood up straight. "You're welcome," She giggled.

Tovah watched as Claire plugged in thce ice machine, and she jumped as it buzzed to life. "Wow Khaylee," Tov smiled. "Only you wouldn't notice that the ice machine wasn't plugged it. Speaking of, what do you need ice for? Ooh, do they have drinks somewhere?" Then she turned to Claire. "Hey, was that your piano? I have no idea who it was, but they were really good," Tovah nodded.

"The song I was listening to? That was one of my favorite songs that I wrote. I recorded it last spring, and put it on my iPod so I could let my friends hear it at school. I love listening to it. Did you hear that?" Claire asked, embarrassed. Had she been listening to it that loud? "Was it good?" Claire wondered aloud. She must be good at piano, if it was the reason it got her in here. But she didn't think that was her best. She just liked the emotion she had felt when she was writing it, and she could hear it when she listened to it. "And I could totally go for a drink right now," Claire added. She could feel the ichy-ness and scratchiness of her throat.

Josh noticed that all the girls started to come out and try to assist with the ice machine. One girl named Claire figured tthat it was unplugged and plugged it in. He felt kinda unneeded so he politely excused himself. "Well, looks like you're problems fixed... Ill see you around." Josh muttered quietly. He dodged around the girls and found himself back outside. He leaned against the railing.

Tov nodded. "Yea it was great! And no, not too loud," She furrowed her blonde brows and Josh muttered something and left. "Yea ... I think i'm gonna go too. Anyone wanna take a walk on deck? I think alot of the kids are up there. Maybe there will be some sort of meeting, there are so many of us i dont know," Tovah laughed.

She blushed. "WOw i feel stupid." she laughed at all the girls who had surrounded her..but unfortunately the boy left. "Yea lets go outside..." She walked with Tovah and kinda followed Josh.
"I do kinda clumsy things like that all the time" she said referring to the ice machine. "I just assumed they would plug it in for you" she laughed.

Colby heard a commotion down the hall, he heard more voices heading this way and some laughter. He just smiled ot himself. Ah, the joys of friendship are already forming. He walked out onto the deck to find some other kids there. He stood next to a kid named Josh. "Nice eh?" he said referring to the ocean view.

Tov linked arms with Khaylee. "Sorry if I ruined a flirt momnet between you and Josh. Speaking of, theres this reallly cute guy i've been wanting to meet[Colby]. Heck, i've only seen him and Josh so maybe there are more guys. I hope," She laughed. When they reached the deck, Tov saw Colby and Josh, then whispered, "Can you say double date?" Then she giggled and looked around on the deck of the ship, and took in the beautiful ocean below.

Claire walked down the hall with Tovah and Khaylee, her mind on her music. She broke away from them as she passed her room, and walked into her room. She walked over to her dresser, and grabbed her iPod again. She stuffed it into her pocket, and walked out of her room. She went up to the top deck, and walked to the very front of the ship. She stood at the point, and gazed at the sea. She shook her head. She had liked it at her other spot better. But maybe she should explore a bit, get to know the ship more. Claire walked down the stairs to get to the other part of the top deck, and looked around. She saw Tovah and Khaylee giggling at two boys, and the two boys leaning over the edge, just like she enjoyed. Claire shook her head. She wouldn't disturb them. It looked as if Tovah and Khaylee were going to go over there and talk to the boys. Claire walked to the other side of the ship, plugging her iPod headphones into her ears. She scrolled through the songs, and clicked on her favorite song. She smiled as the familiar acoustic guitar intro filled her ears, then the singing started. Claire mouthed along to the words as she wandered across the top deck, trying to find something to do.

Josh glanced to his side and saw Colby beside him. He nodded. "Yeah... it really is..." He muttered. Looking around, he saw two of the girls from the hallway. Khaylee.... and Tovah. He nodded and gave a brief smile at them. Looking back at the ocean, he asked "So what are you here for?"

"Hey!" Tov answered. Then she furrowed her brows. "Wait, did you mean, like why are we following you? Cause if ya are, we're not. It's anyone's deck," Her bright green eyes gleamed. "But if you mean it in a nice way ..." She smiled. "Nice to see you too! I'm Tovah, this is my friend Khaylee, and the girl over there is Claire," Tov said, pointing to her friends. "Who are y'all?"

(i think he was talking back to colby, tov)


Khaylee smiled back at Josh and then walked up to the edge and peered over. "Holy crap..." She just stared down at the waves, eyes wide.

-----------------

He looked over at Tovah and Khaylee and smiled. "Hey chicas" He looked back at Josh. "Music... i write and play "

[{ hahahaha ooopss sorry Josh (: }]
Tov stands next to Colby to look over the side of the ship. ""The ocean is gorgeous .. i wonder what it;s like at night, like reflecting the sunest," She rested her chin on the ralining

Claire heard her name called, and pulled one of her headphones out. She looked around, but noticed nothing, so she replaced her headphone back in her ear. She sighed. There was nothing she found interesting right now, so she walked back to the railing and leaned over. She curved her mouth into a small smile, and closed her eyes. She loved the feel of the water on her face, and the noise it made as it lapped against the ship, and the ship made as it cut it's way through the peaceful waves. Claire opened her eyes, and gazed out over the ocean, at the distant horizon. The sun was starting to lower, and Claire guessed that when they had finished meeting the principal, it would be almost sunset. She would come here and watch the sunset. A perfect ending to an amazing day. Claire smiled even more, and felt a small breeze come. It blew her hair out from in front of her face, and over her shoulders to keep it out of her face.

Jake finished kicking the soccer ball around on the field, and left, leaving the soccer ball in the bag. He wanted to explore more. Maybe he would find a basketball court next. Jake smiled, and made is way up to the top deck. He would see what was up there. When he got to the top deck, he saw the two guys, with two girls, and a girl separate from the others on the other side of the ship. He made his way directly ahead. Maybe he would run into Liv again...He smiled at that thought, the memory of meeting Liv. He reached his hand up and ran it through his dark hair. It was a bad habit of his, and he did it whenever he felt nervous. Jake wandered around, looking at all the things he came across, but staying away from the other people, not wanting to interrupt their converstations, or thoughts in the other girl's case.

Josh grinned at the girls. "Nice to meet you... Im Josh." He said keeping his eyes on Khaylee for a moment. Turning back to the ocean, he replied. "Yeah... Musician and author." He said to Cody. "What about you two?" Josh asked the two girls watching Khaylee be shocked by the water.

"Im a dancer. Have been for 10 years," Tovah smiled. "I also am awesome at photography, if i do say so myself. I love it." Tov's blonde hair circled her face as the wind blew. "Are we gonna have some sort of meeting? There are so many people here, I want to get to know them all," She addded with a laugh.

After the incident with the ice machine Liv decided she would try and find her way back to the room she had seen earlier with the huge space she could use for dancing. Walking down the hallways she run her fingers through her hair until she came to the door with a glass window at the top with led to the room. Pushing it open she went inside.

It was perfect she said upon seeing it again. Slowly she slid her high heals off and pointed her toes a few times before moving out into the centre of the room. Glancing down at her watch she saw that there was still a fair amount of time before she had to do anything. Slowly she began to dance across the floor. Practising a few of her ballet moves as she floated across the floor.

She smiled at JOsh. "I'm Khaylee...and im a singer and an "artist"..so they say" she smirked. She was a tough self critic. She tried to draw her eyes away from Josh back to the ocean, but it was surprisingly hard for her.

Colby smiled. "Oh yea? Thats awesome" he looked next to him at Tov. "Yea im sure its beautiful...So you dance? "
