Holiday at Fun Island Resort, Maldives
I awoke to a thud and the noise of what sounded like thunder. The
aeroplane had just landed in Male, the capital of the Maldives. I was
ecstatic when we decided to go to the Maldives on holiday, one of the
most romantic places to visit or so I am told.
Alex and I grabbed the bags from the overhead lockers and scrambled
our way down the busy aisle towards the exit. When we got off the
plane you could feel the intense heat almost immediately. The sun was
gleaming down on my uncovered arms and legs and I began to feel a
burning sensation on my skin.
The runway was extremely small compared to the ones at Manchester
Airport, 2440 metres long to be exact. I'd read it in a book on the
plane. It was like a small island floating on the sea.
We were directed to a bus that would take us up to the airport where
we had the go through Customs and collect our luggage. The bus had no
seating, apart from the driver's seat of course, so everyone was
standing up trying to grasp at something solid to hang on to while the
bus was in motion. There was so many of us on the bus, we were like
squashed sardines in a tin.
Once we had passed through customs and retrieved our luggage we were
told by our holiday representative to have a drink in the café outside
and wait until they announced our Island at which point we would then
board a speed-boat to reach our holiday destination.
The café was extremely busy and crowded and it didn't seem like there
were any vacant tables. I looked around and noticed that some people
were gathering their belongings as though they were about to leave at
the other end of the...

creaked in the darkness with each footstep we took. There was a slight
warm breeze that gently ruffled my neatly styled hair. We sat on the
steps at the end of the jetty which were a little damp from the sea
splashing over it. It was a tranquil evening. The moon's reflection
was glistening on the sea that was gently rippling. For a long time we
just gazed at the twinkling stars in the sky, pointing out to each
other the different constellations and then Alex began to gaze into my
eyes and smiled. He put his strong arms around me and held me tight. I
felt safe. He began to tell me what a wonderful time he had on holiday
and how being with me made it more special. At this point, thoughts
were running though my mind, I was thinking what's got into him, he's
not the soppy type, he's not going to propose, is he?
Like zombies we all stood there, blankly staring forward until another bus pulls through, looking up only when one comes to sight hoping it’s the right one. As the buses came and went I heard the faint roar of thunder beginning in the distance, I love the rain. I could not wait to get off campus so I could enjoy the storm in the comfort of my house. My bus finally arrived, and eagerly I boarded knowing as soon as I got home rain was sure to start falling.

I saw him making his way over to me and I felt my heart begin to race.
pile against his chest. Then he sat back and looked at the water with bright excited eyes.”
We rushed back to the house and I ran straight to his bed where he laid, holding on to every breath. I
The anticipation of this day had been building up for some time over that last few months, and now it was upon me at last. I didn’t feel the same excitement I had leading up to this moment, I even kind of grumbled to myself about how I wished the bus was bigger so that I would be more comfortable. We all had our assigned seats, but no one seemed to be where they were supposed to be. The anxiousness of getting to Colorado was causing a great deal of confusion, chaos, and stress. The noise of everyone carrying on and yelling could be compared to the way a screaming crowed sounds at an AC/DC concert.
I got all my stuff together and put it in my back pack. We walked down with Beau and
The laughter filled the car as we belted out the notes to the song playing loudly from the radio. We were downtown and getting snacks for our Spanish class from a store called La Tapatia. I was focused on the eye catching lights of downtown, the music blaring from the radio, and the conversation with my friends — not the road — so when I heard a scream from the passenger seat I had no idea what was going on. I had never made a grave mistake while driving before, since after all, I was a great driver… or so I thought.
Her hands moved around his neck, up into his hair, and she placed an opened mouthed kiss into the crook of his neck.
I felt him tense up, and I feared he'd just get really uncomfortable like he normally would. Then, he relaxed and put an arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer. I smiled. "There's nothing to be thanking me
I was waiting for my boyfriend to join me like usual. He was always the last one out. We sat in the same seats every bus journey to and from school. The other kids on the bus were always scared to sit in our seats because they thought we would beat them up.
Later, we arrived at Gerald R. Ford International Airport at around 12:00 so we could check in, and get lunch before our first flight. We stopped at Quiznos to buy some subs. It turns out that we did not need to hurry. We made it to our gate and were sitting when I decided I wanted to go and get a
