Love, it's different for everyone if you think about it. For you? Well, you've always stayed clear of it. Whether it be because of something in your past or a bad break up, it doesn't matter. But what happens if something in you decides to change that?
The date is April 17th 2013. It starts off as a normal day, whether it be getting bullied or anything doesn't matter. Your principle, Mrs. Brooks has announced for everyone to come to the gym for some "big announcement" as she liked to put it, but you know it's probably just something for a school play or plans for a dance you probably wont attend. As you walk in you sit by yourself, listening to the talk around you as you await for your principle. Mrs. Brooks finally makes her appearance just before classes are about to begin and starts with the normal. "How is everybody today?" which usually just tends to get the cricket response. Mrs. Brooks start blabbing on and on about occasional things, dances, grades, graduation. But brings up something unexpected to anyone.
"Now students, the other teachers and I have agreed to have a little contest here at the school. The prize will be starting early on your summer vacation at Mr. Bates private houses in LA California!" The gym starts to fill with cheers and whistles from the football team and the cheerleaders but it dies down as Mr. Bates starts to speak. "Now there is a catch. In order to win this contest you need to write a paper on a subject of your choice. It has to be at least 100 words and given to Mrs. Brooks by Friday afternoon. There will be 8 students that will win this contest and they will be sent an E-mail Saturday afternoon. They will live in my private home until after summer vacation. Mrs. Bates and I will be attending with you and staying at a hotel, just so you don't trash my houses." The older man grumbles to himself and you can't help but smile. As Mrs. Brooks sends everyone off to their scheduled classes you think to yourself that you actually have a chance. You always were good when it came to things like this, so why not enter?
It's now Saturday, you've been constantly checking your E-mail for hours on end and are nervous. For once you might actually be able to make some friends with the other contestants if they talk to you at least. After a couple of minutes, you finally see an E-mail with the title 'Congratulations ______!' You quickly open up the email and read over it with a smile spreading across your lips.
Dear _____,
I am happily able to announce that you are one of the students to have won our writing contest!
You and eleven other students will be attending Mr. Bates private houses in LA California.
A van driven by Mrs. Bates will pick you up with the other students at 9:00am. So you better be packed!
You will have to share a house with one of the other students but you'll have full privacy, don't worry!
Sincerely, Mrs. Brooks.
You started squealing, not being able to contain your excitement and rushed off to pack everything you'd need. You'd be living with seven other students till September 17th and you couldn't be happier. But who knows what'll happen, will there be love, will there be enemies? Well there are only one way to find out.
Because this should be a trip that changes everything.
