Scarlett Lawson, or at least that was what she was called before. Before she was betrayed by some of the people she was meant to trust the most, placed in the worst predicament she could have imagined and sent away to a whole different world.
But no...

Scarlett Vanderburg's POV
"You look amazing." Imogen gushes, her hands clasped together. I turned to examine myself in the mirror, I had put on a white sundress I had picked up from one of the stalls we had walked past yesterday, and underneath was a white bikini. That had been the only hint I had gotten from Calix for our date. That we would be going swimming.

"Thank you." I smile at her, I twist my hair up, securing it with a claw clip before adding a couple layered gold necklaces. I had decided against make-up if I was going swimming and I had only a layer of lipgloss on.
"Where are you guys going?" She asks laying back in my bed. I keep faffing over my appearance wanting to look perfect.
"I don't know."
I hadn't known, Calix had wanted to keep it a secret from me and I couldn't deny that I was really looking forward to it. I had been on a couple dates, here and there but they had never been with anyone I truly liked, this was like a whole new experience.
"Ooh, a surprise." Imogen grinned, she got a text on her phone and I zoned out for a couple seconds until she called her name. "He's waiting for you downstairs, Si wanted to make him go and knock on the door like a proper date."
My cheeks flush, I was kind of glad Calix didn't agree to it, it would have skyrocketed my already anxious nerves.
I stand up and brush myself down once more before grabbing my bag and exiting the room, slowlyd I make my way down the stairs seeing Calix there waiting for me, he was dressed similarly to me, a white cotton shirt with the top few buttons left open and a pair of cargo shorts, he had sunglasses set on the top of his head. He looked unreal. In one of his hands he held a picnic basket and in the other a bouquet of daisies wrapped in brown paper.
I walked closer to him, my cheeks warming with how incense his gaze was, this man managed to make me feel like the most beautiful thing on Earth.
"Scarlett." Calix breathed out, I looked up at him through my lashes. He passes me the bouquet of flowers and I give him a shy smile. "You are so beautiful."
My cheeks were definitely living up to my name.
Our moment was broken by movement above us, and seeing they were caught Imogen, Silas and Quinn spread. I shook my head with a laugh, I expected it from Imogen and Silas but Quinn?
