Her eyes scanned until she abruptly stopped at an image of Caden. He was posing dramatically in the most recent Spring line. She peered up to where the boy was on the boat and lowered her sunglasses to the tip of her nose. She mouthed, "Lookin' cute," as she held the magazine up for him to see. He returned a glare and went back to minding his own business. Bella frowned, no one was any fun here. How could her parents be so surprised that she doesn't get along with any of them? She began to get anxious that no one was breaking the ice, until...
"I can't believe this," slipped out of Lumen's mouth in a voice clear to all. Bella was a bit surprised to say the least. They weren't even at the island yet and tensions were high. "Well Sanders, no need to be such a party pooper already. I mean we might as well make the best with what we got. I for one can't wait to see your family's bougie private island. I can only hope you will be a fantastic tour guide." Following her obnoxious valley girl voice was a pink lipstick smirk. Her and Lumen had a complicated relationship. They got along at times, but now Bella knew exactly how to get under her skin, which was her favorite thing to do.
"Let's be real, all we really have to do is soak up some rays, and just pretend we all like each other! Acting can't be too hard for you all can it?" Caden was looking at Bella with a face that screamed, 'shut your mouth Bella'. She sighed in return and readjusted her sunnies.
