Chapter 14: Living on the Wild side

I jumped on my bed snuggling against the pillow. You don't understand how happy I was to be able to lay on my bed. After touring Athena for what felt like a decade I was finally able to rest. Sure, I was excited and enjoyed all the historical facts, but there is only so much someone can walk. Plus we got to Athena at nine am and now it's almost three o'clock in the afternoon! That means I have been on my feet for the last six hours!! Do you realize how painful that is; I am surprise my foot was not bleeding. I think I was the only one complaining because all the guys did not seem to mind, but that was because they freken played SPORTS! I on the other hand had the worst athletic ability known to man. As for the girls they didn't mind either because they are use to walking in the mall for hours. I on the other hand have not gone to the mall since I was two.

"Seriously you are already tired?" Sal said in a disbelieving tone.

"Yes I am!!" I yelled through my blanket. I was trying to sleep because for one I woke up at the crack of dawn and two I couldn't sleep on the damn bus because Sal was flirting like an IDIOT!

"Its only three, don't you want to explore?"

"We have been exploring for the last six hours how much do you want to explore." I said while stating the obvious.

"You're no fun."

"I am sorry, but a women needs her sleep!" I replied while rolling my eyes.

There was a loud knock on the door. I swear it was as if god himself didn't want me to sleep today. I didn't even bother getting up. Whoever was behind the door decided it would be a good idea to knock louder.

"Ughh!! Sal seriously, you could have open the door instead of putting your makeup on!" I push myself back on to my feet. I stomped towards the door. I swear whoever was behind this door I was going to killed them. When I don't get enough sleep I get a bit violent and grumpy.

I swung the door open to give the person a piece of my mind, but right when I saw who it was it was as if my anger disappeared.

"Raj." I couldn't help but let a smile spread across my face.

"Naina." Raj smiled mirror minds. We just stood in front of each other just memorizing each others faces. How could I be friends with this guy my whole life, but never realize how good looking he was. His perfect sky blue eyes His hair color of auburn, a stream of mocha brown. His smile exposed his dimple. I could just stare at this perfection in front of me all day.

"Hey Raj what are you doing here?" Sal came from behind interrupting our moment. Moment? Me and Raj actually had a moment? What is wrong with me? I turned around to see Sal had the same exact expression as I did just a couple of seconds ago.

Not even looking at Sal, Raj continued you to stare at me as his eyes sparkled. " I was wondering if Naina wanted to go to the park, the one across the hotel." I think my smile just broke my face when those words came out of his mouth.

"I would lov.." I couldn't even finish my sentence because Sal found it necessary to answer for me.

" She cant."

"I cant?" I questioned. I turn to Sal to see her smile wiped off her face but instead replace with a frown.

"Remember you wanted to sleep?" Oh, I see what she was doing. She wanted me 'play' along, so she could spend some alone time with Raj. I was not jealous instead I was furious. It was not fair. I have never liked a guy in my entire life or had even the slightest feeling for someone and right when I start having just a tiny little feelings for a guy my best friend was in love with him. Seriously my luck sucked, but then it didn't matter. Raj look like a male model and I looked like an ogre. It was next to impossible for someone like Raj or any male species to find me someone what attractive. Call me insecure, but that is the truth and always will be. Sure, Raj has called me "pretty" , but he was my best friend it was his duty to tell me these stuff.

Plus it was against girl code not to like your best friends crush. So even though I had the urge to shove my fist down Sal's throat, I decided to act mature. Pushing my feelings aside I turned back to Raj with a fake frown. "Yeah I wanted to get some rest."

"Oh." Was that disappointment in his voice? Naw I am probably imagining crap.

"I can come with you?" Sal beamed. Raj on the other hand shifted awkwardly.

"Sure." He smiled, but it looked forced. Sal didn't seem to notice because she pushed me aside and ran out the door. I didn't even have time to say goodbye before the door was slammed at my face.

"Forever alone". I whispered as I made my way towards the bed.

I fell asleep for about thirty minutes before another bang was caused at my door. Seriously couldn't people bother other people instead of me! Nope I wasn't going to get up. There was another bang at the door. Nope I wasn't going to get up. If someone was dying on the other side of the door I still would refuse to get up. Another bang. I don't care if it's the last day on earth I am not getting up.

Someone banged again, but this time someone was also yelling my name. "I swear to god Naina if you don't open this door I am breaking it down!"

"Ethan?" What the hell did he want. I pushed myself off my bed and open the door.

"What the hell do you want?" I asked flatly.

"Well hello to you too."

"Ethan I was busy sleeping. What was so important to where you need to ruin my sleep."

"Yeah I could tell. Your hair looks like a bird nest." My hand involuntarily moved towards my hair feeling knot after knot. I groaned inwardly thinking about having to comb them out later.

"What do you want Ethan?" I was beginning to lose my patients.

"Here." He shoved a piece of paper and pencil in front of me.

"Is this a gift or something?" I questioned.

Ethan rolled his eyes at me. "Right 20 things you want to do before you die."

"Why?"

"Do you ask this many question?"

"Ethan I am going to slam the door in your face if you don't tell me why."

"Trust me. Just do it." I stared in to his forest green eyes before taking a deep breath and grabbing the paper and pencil out of his hand.

"Wait here." I told him as I made my way towards the room.

I laid the paper on top of the paper and just stared at it. What did I want to do before I died? There were so many possibilities. How could I only list twenty? It seemed in possible. I guess Ethan read my mind before screaming in the hallway.

"Don't think Naina just do."

That's what I did. I didn't think. Instead I grabbed my pencil and wrote the first things that came to mind.

1. Dye my hair

2. Get cooler clothes

3. Get drunk ( yes I am aware of the massive hangover afterwards)

4. Get a tattoo

5. Go sky diving

6. Go skinny dipping (don't judge!)

7. Slap Briana for making my life a living hell.

8. Go on a date.

9. Get chased by the police (I know I could go to jail)

10. Go in a haunted house

11. Get kicked out of Walmart

12. Date a guy who owns a motorcycle

13. Get my first kiss (Like in the rain or something. Someonething cliché)

14. Go shark cage diving (yes I am aware I cant swim)

15. Learn how to swim before I go shark cage diving

16. Ride a hot air balloon

17. Spend a night sleeping under the stars

18. Go to a club. ( something I would never do in my sane mind)

19. Jump off a cliff in to the ocean

20. Say 'I love you'

When I was done I let my eyes skim over it one more time. I have to say I was kind of proud of what I wrote. I know I would never be able to do any of this in real life, but one could dream. I walked back to Ethan you was waiting patiently.

"Here" I shoved the paper towards it. He grabbed it and read over it a couple of time. I turned around to go back to sleep, but before I could he had already grabbed my hand and was pulling me in to the hall.

"What the hell are you doing?" I shrieked.

Ethan didn't seem fazed by my outburst. Instead he kept on tugging me forward.

" Remember how I told you about finding out who you are. Well this list is going to help us do that. We are going to cross off everything before this trip is over, and I am going to help you." I stopped moving and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Are you crazy! I could never do that in real life."

" Live a little Naina." As he spoke, I couldn't help but stare into his eyes. They were enthralling, like sparkling kaleidoscopes of color. They were celery green, but also ocean blue. Dashes of chesnut brown speckled his irises. And for some reason, they looked like they had seen a lifetime, when in reality they had only seen a fraction. For some reason I felt comfort when staring at them. They gave me some sort of courage for the next words that came out of my mouth.

"Then what are we waiting for?" I grabbed his arm and ran out the hotel door.
