Lake Placid: One missed call…

It’s a bright sunny day, on the 13th February 2008. A group of teenagers are on their way to a resort called Lake Placid. They are going to stay there for 3 weeks. They will be leaving California at 8:00am, they will probably reach there at about 1:00pm. It will be quiet a long drive but they will make a lot of stops…

They are traveling for about 3 hours now, and its time to make another stop. They decide to stop at the nearest garage. It’s a bit chilly but the atmosphere is lovely. Alicia, Darshna, Shazia, Pearl, and Luvornia go and freshen up in the ladies, whilst Kavir, Justin, Jose’, Chris, and Jonathan go to the men’s to freshen up as well. After they were done they wanted to eat, they all decided to dine at the famous Wimpy Restaurant. They were done in about half an hour, so they immediately started traveling again. They are now finally one and a half hours away from the resort. In the 1st car, Jonathan is driving and Luvornia is sitting in the front seat. Pearl and Chris are sitting in the back seat, all in love… In the 2nd car Kavir is driving and Alicia is sitting in the front seat. Darshna and Justin are having an engrossed conversation in the back seat, whilst in the 3rd car, Shazia and Jose’ have the car to themselves.

They finally reach their destination! They are impressed with the resort and can’t wait to tour the inside of this marvelous, huge penthouse. They cannot wait to settle down and relax. The boys kindly take the luggage inside. The penthouse is spacious and the girls are overwhelmed with their rooms. They pack their clothes away into the wardrobes and go and freshen up. Afterwards, they go downstairs to the boys. The boys find good signal and quickly switch on the television. They make themselves at home and check out the rest of the house. They suddenly hear thumping footsteps, “Oh it’s the girls”, says Justin. The girls make their way to the lounge area....
