David was excited about his adventure. It was his first time traveling on his own. He had planned a one month trip backpacking across the US. He was starting from New York City and it had taken him all day to get here from his suburban Kentucky home.
David was only 18, but he had longed to see more of the world, and since he had seen so little, thought it made sense to start right here in the USA. David was tall and lanky, with curly brown hair and brown eyes. He knew he was considered a bit nerdy but he knew he had the soul of an adventurer. He was a little shy but as he walked from the airport bus to the hostel he reminded himself it was time to break out of his shell.
The hostel lobby was small and humid and had a strange smell to it. David paid the money to the Israeli girl at the counter frowning a little at the cost which was much higher than the guidebook indicated. He booked a room where there would be three other beds. As he walked to the stairs he almost got run over by three Moroccan boys who were wrestling with each other as they left the hostel. David hoped these were not his roommates.
David walked up the stairs to the third floor. When he found #303 he walked in with his backpack the stopped short as he saw two blonde girls.
"Oh...sorry...I..." he stumbled.
David started back out to the hall, saw that the room was indeed #303 and stopped short, confused.
"Are you #303?" asked a girl.
David turned and saw a third girl. She was a Asian sitting on the top of another bunk bed with dark black hair, big brown eyes and perfect skin. The girl was barefoot with jeans and a t shirt over her petite body. David couldn't take his eyes off her.
"I...umm..."
The girl smiled a beautiful smile, and laughed. She explained that the rooms were co-ed. "You got lucky!" she teased.
David stepped tentatively into the room and the girl motioned to the bunk he should use. He put his backpack on the bed and took the proffered hand of the Asian girl.
"I'm Jamie." she said bending forward. David noticed she had a french pedicure on her tiny toes that brushed his shoulder. Jamie's hand was so soft and David felt a tingle go through his body. "That's Bettina and Sabine."
