= “Out into a Different Place” = By Ashley Scott I live in a small town called Chevy in the United States with my three friends who I have known since I was a toddler crawling on the floor. Now I’m nineteen years old, getting old huh. I have finished high school, however I hated that school because everybody had there own cliques. I was so called the smart one. Where I live is so hot that I am always grumpy, but I manage to survive. It is a sunny Friday and everybody is at my house with the fact that it is summer break. They always come to my house on Fridays and other weekdays we would go somewhere else. We were discussing that we should all go on vacation to another country with no parents involved. “I think we should go to Bahamas and just look for pretty woman”, said Trevor. Trevor was always the one into girls going through that stage of puberty in life. We all thought that wasn’t a bad idea, but I just wanted to go to see what it was like there. Money wasn’t a problem for the reason that we all worked. So finally we all agreed to go away to the Bahamas. Everybody went home to tell their parents besides Trevor because he is my brother unfortunately. I am old enough so my parents couldn’t tell me not to go. My mom only told me to take care of my brother since that was her youngest son. Mothers always get sentimental and worry too much about their children leaving to go somewhere. It was almost bedtime furthermore we planned to leave Saturday night. I was going to pack when I wake up. I usually do things last minute every time I have to go somewhere. Saturday has come and I hear knocking on my door and it’s my brother waking me up from all the dreams I was having. We all were excited to leave this dreary town. We met at the entrance of the airport. Once I got there I got this bad feeling about the trip and got scared to depart now. I just became silent in addition to not telling anybody. Suddenly a storm came our way and our flight got delayed. Just our luck we had to wait for a couple hours until the storm settled down. Johnny came back from the vending machine with this girl named Crystal that we all didn’t know. The pretty eyed girl looked suspicious as well as nice. She acts weird, but I guess im the only one to realize. Johnny thought it would be kind that she came with us on vacation for the two days. The storm was done and we were off to the island. We all got there and checked into the hotel. Johnny and Trevor were with Crystal while I stayed with Gary. We decided to go to the beach because outside felt like one hundred degrees. The Bahamas had so many little towns among small houses full of people outside. So much water surrounded this island with white stunning clouds in a light blue sky. The cars were the same as where I live, except the food is much better. Gary and I stayed at the beach for a while and headed back to the hotel. “LOOK”, said Gary. He had found a paper with Crystal on it saying they are looking for her. We both started panicking wondering what we should do. My brother and friend were out there with that lady and had no idea what she was all about. Then all of a sudden we heard yelling and a police car speeding somewhere so we followed. As soon as we got there it was just an incident with someone else. Then we decided to call Johnny and Trevor that they should get away from Crystal because she is no good, although they weren’t listening. I guess they were going to have to find out the harder way. As a brother though I didn’t want them too, so I went to the front desk for them to call the police. It became night and they still weren’t back to the room yet. The phone rang and they said they were at a bar and had to walk back because Crystal didn’t want to take a cab back home. On the way back Trevor saw a shadow behind them and got terrified. Unexpectedly Crystal got attacked and the boys tried to fight off the man. They were scratching, punching, kicking, all they can do for him to flee away. All four of them had scratches and bruises, but they were glad he was gone. “Why did that man do that?” asked Trevor. “I don’t know”, said Crystal awkwardly. At that moment they heard someone yell that is the wanted girl on the paper! Rocks were being thrown and a car was swerving almost hitting them. Our lives were almost taken for some reason. Trevor being related to someone smart tried to connect it in his head that his brother is right. Trevor secretly said to Johnny, “We need to get away from her.” Johnny hardheaded as he is still didn’t listen because he was just so attracted to her. They almost got back to the hotel. Before they even got to the entrance Crystal said, “I have to leave.” “No”, said Trevor come with us. Trevor thought maybe his brother had the police there to take her away. She decided to come back and get her little stuff she had in the hotel. “Crystal stay where you are”, said someone. It was the police here to take her away for her arrest. My brother and Johnny ran to me and gave me a big hug for being there before anything else worse happened. We enjoyed the rest of the vacation in this fastidious place. The residents were actually polite to us after what happened and I just wanted to go back home as quickly as possible. Finally, it was Monday night and we went back to the airport to fly back home. When Trevor and I got home we told our mom we had fun and everything went fine. Till this day we still don’t know what Crystal did for her to be wanted and didn’t want to know either. Trevor, Gary, Johnny, and I were still friends more like brothers after everything and knew we had each other to count on.
