Snippet #1831349

Ivy was going to make conversation with the people just to get to know them, but refusing to be rude, she allowed their conversations to continue with each other. Xeina left for the beach and Toby had also disappeared. The other Asian girl named Alysha had gone. She was going to start a conversation with the shy Asian guy without a shirt, but he left just as quickly. She was left to play with her food as the others slowly dispersed on towards the beach and around the house. She felt alone again. She almost wanted to go back home and see her brother again.

Ivy finished her food and decided to clean up for everyone. Really not minding, she gathered the plates and rinsed them under the faucet. She hummed a little as she laid them inside the dishwasher. Finishing up, she grabbed a glass of milk and decided to explore like the others. She went in the same direction where Tommy and Alysha had sneaked off to, but ended up on the entrance to the other side of the beach. She saw Shawn on the sand carrying what looked like a cellphone in his hand to the sky. He put it away and turned the other way to the trees. "Where could he be off to?" she said to herself and followed with the glass of milk still in her hand.

She walked over the the trees and uncovered the boat swaying softly with the calm waves that barely moved the sand. She was feeling a bit shy since she hadn't made the best impression with him, jumping on him like a crazed girl. She bit her lower lip and lowered her body so she wouldn't get hit by the branches. Ivy wanted to make a better impression. Pondering how to do so, he disappeared into the large house boat only to appear on the deck where tables and grills were laid out for a dozen people party. Climbing the few rungs, she smiled cutely and greeted Shawn. "Hello! Shawn, right?" She put down her glass of milk on one of the tables. "What is this?" She touched the counter tops and then realized how stupid her question was. "Well, I know it's a boat. I thought the goddess would give us one since this is an island surrounded by water. It's quite big. Biggest one I have ever seen. Can we drive it?" She looked at him with big eyes having to angle for eyes upwards since he was so tall. The sun was getting in her eyes so she had to squint and shield her face with her hand. "Also, would like to go swimming? I don't trust myself alone in the water."
