Chapter 1

I figured I would have just another boring family vacation, but as the trip went on I was happily mistaken. My parents had decided they wanted to go on a cruise in the Caribbean. While I wanted to go to Hawaii and my sister had voiced her preference to go to California and see Disney Land for about the thousandth time, we ended up doing what they wanted. I know, big surprise, huh? So, we got on a plane and flew to Florida where we were supposed to get on the boat. About now you are probably thinking "what's the problem," most people would love to go on a nice cruise. Well I'll tell you, I was not overjoyed at the prospect of being stuck in a small cabin on the boat with my sister. Our parents had gotten two cabins, so they could have some privacy, and I'm sure you know what that means.

We made it to the port and got in the lines like hundreds of other people to get on the boat. I felt like I was cattle being rounded up to go to the slaughter. It was very hot and to make things worse it was so humid I felt sweaty and sticky. After about an hour of standing in line behind my father and mother I was thinking how tired I was of the trip already, and we hadn't even got on the boat yet. I could close my eyes and still see the shorts and Hawaiian shirt my dad was wearing. He defiantly needed to get more exercise I thought as I looked at his beer gut and his thinning hair. I keep telling myself that I'll never end up like that; I'll run myself in to the ground doing exercise before I get that out of shape. Mom was next to him and she was a striking difference, she is thin and still looks very good for being her age. Not that I was looking at her like that, she is my mother after all and I thought that's just sick.

We finally made it through the maze of lines and onto the ship. I thought that at least I'd see some hot girls in bathing suits, but all that was there were people that looked as hot and tired and dirty as I felt. They were handing out drinks to the adults and I got a fruit juice (oh boy, NOT!). Then we walked farther and found where they were serving lunch. Of course there weren't enough seats for all the people, so I got to get a plate and stand next to the table while my parents and sister sat there eating their food. All this left me thinking was that it was going to be a long vacation and I would enjoy going home to finish my summer with friends and my Xbox. Standing there I wasn't thinking about it, but the food was actually very good and sort of a sign for good things to come.

After the finished eating we walked around the boat, which was really bigger than I thought it would be. If nothing else I figured I should be able to ditch my parents and sister and hang around without them for a while later. We saw all the pools and the big rooms and a stage where mom said they would put on shows for us each night. The one thing that really caught my eye was the sign that said there was a topless deck up a set of stairs to the highest deck. It said that no one under eighteen was allowed, but I told myself I had to get up there some time during the trip. I was only fifteen but I figured no one would notice since I'm only two and a half years younger than that.

We finally went to see the tiny rooms where I would be stuck with my sister next door to our parents and I got another surprise. The rooms weren't as small as I'd expected, but I did still have to be stuck there with my bratty little sister. Dad said that we should watch the TV in there or take a nap, which he and mom were going to do. He said to stay in the room, don't fight and they would come get us before the ship left in a few hours.

As soon as they left sis ran to the bed by the window and claimed it as hers. I wanted it but decided that if we fought about it I'd probably get blamed and then be in more trouble. I walked over to the other bed and since I was tired I decided to take a nap and get some rest. I lay down and waited to fall asleep; as I laid there I was looking at sis who was already asleep on the other bed. She had some jean shorts and a white shirt on and was curled up facing the window. She's a little taller than five feet, about half a foot shorter than me. She has the same blond hair our mom has, mine was quite a bit darker and most people would say its light brown. I was laying there thinking how much she grew up this year and how she was starting to turn into a girl, instead of just a kid. The last thing I remember was laying there looking at her and thinking wow shed have a nice ass if she weren't my sister.
