It all started on a school trip to Hawaii.

I was with nine other students from my high school and two of my teachers were chaperoning. You can say this trip was a birthday present from my parents considering we had left on my birthday a few days ago. That was Saturday. Today is Tuesday. We had already gone to the beach and now have a three hour layover before the luau. I decided to take a shower to get all the sand out of my hair.

I had just finished my shower when I overheard my roommates talking outside the bathroom door.

"Hey Kati, is Sophie still in the shower?" I heard Erin say. Erin is a junior that I would often see near my locker at school.

"Yeup," was all Kati said.

I opened the door and found Kati grabbing her backpack.

"Are you guys going to the plaza?"

"Yep."

"Okay," was all I said before I started rapidly combing my hair hoping they would wait for me outside.

After my long, wet hair was finally free of knots, I grabbed my backpack, put on my new sandals from Forever 21, and ran outside. I closed the door behind me only to find that there was no one in sight.

We were staying in a condo complex and our teachers rented two condos. Four students and one teacher per condo.

I ran to our other condo, which was kinda far for some reason, only to find Jake, a senior, watching a basketball game.

"Hey Jake, where is everyone?"

"I think Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are at the pool with James. And the girls probably went shopping."

"Okay, thanks Jake."

I closed the door and walked back to our condo.
