Eclair walked out from the automated sliding doors of the Arrival building.She can't believe she was just on a flight to California.And she wasn't even sure if she should be doing this.She thought back to how it all happened.

She found a note inside her locker,saying that she was invited to a beach house in California for two weeks with a couple of other people.She wasn't fond of the idea,but she let her grandmother take a read at it.And during that time,she placed a call and discussed the situation with this...so called Asher Freedmon's parents.It seemed that his parents weren't all that concerned about it all and even tried to persuade Eclair to go.
"Um...I'll try and see--" she had tried to say through the phone,but her grandmother got the better of her,yelling out "YOU'RE GOING YOUNG LADY!".And no doubt,the Freedmons heard this and said "I guess our son can be expecting you then.".

Eclair sighed.And so here she was.All because of her grandmother.She walked over to a waiting taxi and dumped her luggage in the back seat,she didn't bring too much,just clothing that she needed...and her toiletries.She pulled out the piece of paper that had the address of the beach house and handed it over for the driver to read.The driver raised an eyebrow and handed the paper back,before heading off to said destination.Eclair had her full focus on the scenery outside the window.A couple of strangers,all under the same roof too.To make things a little worse...there would be guys.And guys that she didn't even know.She sighed,drawing a glance from the taxi driver,who otherwise,maintained his eyes on the road.After what seemed to be about an hour or so,Eclair got out of the car and stared at the beach house with her disbelieving eyes.

"The place is quite the beaut eh?" asked the taxi driver,who handed her her luggage and hand his hand out for the taxi fee.Eclair nodded and quickly pulled out a bunch of rolls and handed them over.With the taxi speeding away,she moved onto the path and towards the door.

"That Freedmon guy must be rich to be able to afford this kind of place for two weeks and invite us all over..." she tested the doorknob and found it open.She walked inside slowly while knocking on the door.She noticed several people already in the hangout.And as she expected...none of their faces seemed familiar to her.'Oh God...strangers...' she thought,though she attempted a friendly smile.

"Um...guess I'm not the first one here then." she said nervously,then bit her bottom lip.Before any of the other could say anything,she quickly continued,"So...I'll just...goupandpickoutaroomthen.Kay'bye." before going up the stairs.She really delivered the last part of the sentence a little too quickly,she could feel herself blushing.They probably thought she was retarded or something along those lines.During her first try with a random room,she found it empty.She dumped her luggage on the floor and laid down on the bed,her deep auburn fringe sprawling all over her face.She blew a couple of strands away from her face and got up.

'I should go find this Asher Freedmon and thank him.It is rather cool here.' she thought,glancing around the purple,black and lime-green color schemed room.Two weeks here wouldn't really kill her,now that she thought about it.She started for the door,and after taking one more look around the room,she went out.
