Derek awoke bright and early. It was the big day he'd been waiting for since the school year had begun. He was already packed and ready to go - he made sure of it the night prior. He had 4 suitcases, along with 2 carry ons. In one of the carry ons were his video equipment, the other had various travel guides and such. His brother was gone at a birthday party, and his mother was already out at work when he left. He did however find a note on the fridge telling him to have a good time. He smiled at the yellow paper and stuck it into pocket as he walked down to the coffee shop for Alek to pick him up. He had waited about a half an hour till Alek pulled up in the coffee driveway. They greeted one another and both of them grabbed a coffee, Derik also grabbed a coconut pound cake for the road.
Going through airport security was always a pain when bringing electronics.The man gave him a strange look before letting them go ahead to wait to board the plane. There was little chatter between the two guys, as they did have to spend the entire summer together. Derik guessed by the end of the vacation they would want to kill one another. As they were waiting to board, Derik pulled out his vlogging camera, facing it towards himself.
"I'm here with Alek, and we're going to be boarding the plane to paradise any second now! I have my filming stuff with me, so you'll be able to see every step of the way, it looks like we're boarding now! Signing out - Derik!" he said, putting the camera back into his carry on. They had seats in the middle of the plane. Alek took the window seat, leaving Derik near the isle. The plane ride was uneventful other than the crying baby. Derik knew he had to buy a pair of those sound blocking headphones. He wasn't able to sleep on the ride, only able to play flappy bird on his phone - which made him want to throw his phone out of the airplane.
Derik was yawning by the time they got off the plane. Grabbing his carry ons he shifted through the middle of the airplane awkwardly. He always enjoyed traveling places. The atmosphere and the smells were always totally different. As they were waiting for their baggage at the claim, he pulled his camera out once again.
"We landed safely, although I didn't get any sleep. Babies shouldn't be allowed on planes. Derik and Alex signing out!" he said to the camera, panning it between him and Alek. He was impressed at the nice rental car they had gotten. When they had gotten coffee and donuts, Derik chugged his coffee like no tomorrow, in hopes it would keep him awake to see the drive. Seeing the little bamboo hotel sign they drove into the parking lot.
"Hotel Matteson huh?" Alek had said. The males got out of the car to grab their bags. Derik smiled at the blonde man, shaking his hand after Alek.
As soon as they got into the room, Derik dashed towards the bed nearest to the window.
"This is mine loser!" he said before dozing off with his sandals on.

Annabelle was awoken by her phone. The alarm was going off. She must have forgotten to turn it off.
"Fu-" she mumbled, nearly falling out of her loft bed. Checking the time on her phone she quickly snapped awake. She was suppose to be at the beach 15 minutes ago. Anna quickly got herself ready, struggling to find her colorful swimsuit in the drawer she had full of them. She slipped a dress over that she could quickly take off once she got to the beach, and slipped into her sandals. Quickly she applied her waterproof mascara and eyeliner, not bothering with all the other makeup products. Her father saw her rush out of her room and stopped her in the hall.
"Where are you going so early miss?" he asked with a questioning brow.
"I'm going to go do drugs and jump off a cliff somewhere, now move!" she said jokingly to her dad. He didn't budge.
"That isn't funny Anna, where are you going?" he asked once again making the girl sigh.
"Going to the beach to catch some waves with Victoria. Happy?" she said in an annoyed tone.
"Do you have your phone?" he asked. Man he was full of questions.
"Yes" she sighed, flashing him the Panic! At The Disco cover of her iPhone. He finally let her through, yelling at her to be careful. Annabelle went out the garage and grabbed her surfboard on the way. The first day of summer was not suppose to be this hectic.
Her stomach growled when she finally reached the beach. Victoria and her had found a spot somewhat away from the "common crowd". She saw her friend's sand formation and knew she must have already arrived. The next thing she saw was food, glorious food. Anna sprinted towards the food with her board in her hand, and grabbed a handful of the chips that were there.
"Yo, sorry I'm late" she called out to Victoria who was laying on her surfboard. With a small mischievous look she brought her hand forward slightly, making winds move Vicky and her board towards the water.
"First day of summer!" she yelled with excitement before running to the ocean and plopping onto her board. She slipped out of the dress and sandals while on her board, making them fly ashore with a strong gust of wind.
"We're the only ones here, that means I can make some awesome waves chicka!" she exclaimed, strapping her ankle to the cord before she began paddling out.
