Thursday
-----------------

The final bell rung and I collected my things. I walked out and greeted everyone. "Let's go sis we gotta pack." Carter said. I nodded and we got in his car then he drove off. "You excited?" He asked. "Yeah." I smiled. "I can't wait to go to the beach." He said and I nodded. We told our parents and my dad was not happy. The only reason he's, letting me go is because he trusts  Carter. I'm kinda scared to tell him we wanna go to Cancun for spring break. We got home and I went to my room.

I opened my closet and started packing. I packed a pair of sandals and some shorts. My door opened and my dad and Rena walked in. "Hey." I said. "Hey Sinead, we wanted to give you some things for the trip." My dad. "What did you get?" I asked. "Well, I got you sunscreen because you fry like bacon without it." My dad said and I chuckled. "I got you a nice black bathing suit and sandals." Rena said and smiled.

"Last but not least a Polaroid camera." My dad and I smiled. "Thanks guys, I appreciate this so much." I smiled then hugged them. I got the things then put it in my bag. Except for the camera. I sat that on my bed. I zipped my suitcase and sat it downstairs.

I walked back upstairs and changed into sweatpants and a tank top. I put my hair in a bun and walked back downstairs. "Pepperoni or cheese?" Carter asked as I plopped down on the the couch. "Pepperoni." I said turning on the tv.

8:00pm

Carter and I were watching family fued when the door bell rang. "I'll get it." I said standing up. I walked to the door and opened. Its Ryan and Adrian. "Hey." I said hugging them. "Hey." They replied. They walked in and sat their things next to Carter's and mine. We walked into the living room and sat down. The guys started playing madden and I was reading.

About ten minutes later the doorbell rang. I stood up and opened the door. "Hey best friend." Quinn said. "Hola amigos." I smiled. Her and Harper walked in and put their things down. We walked into the living room and Quinn sat on Carter's lap. "Where's Julian?" Harper asked. "I don't know, I thinks he's coming with Leena." Adrian said. That's a little suspect if you ask me. I doubt he'd cheat on me.

Thirty minutes later its 8:45 and we're loading the car. Julian pulled up with Leena in the passenger seat. They got out and put their things in the car. Everyone climbed in and I went to the third row with Julian and Adrian. I sat by the window then pulled a blanket over my body. I laid my head on Julian's shoulder and Carter drove off. "So, where are we gonna stay when we get there?" Leena asked. "A hotel." Ryan replied in a duh tone. "Oh." She said.

"You okay?" Julian asked. "Yeah, did you do anything with her?" I replied. "No, you know I don't wanna lose you." He whispered in my ear and I just nodded. I laid my head back down and drifted off to sleep.

--------------------

"Sinead." Julian whispered and I woke up. We're outside of and IHOP. Everyone got out and we walked inside. We got seated and started looking through the menus. Julian had his arm firmly around my waist. The waitress came over and got our drinks and our food orders.

Two minutes later she came back with our drinks. "So, Leena you like anyone?" Harper asked. "Yeah, Ryan." She said. I rose my eyebrows and Julian and I  started sipping our tea. "Oh really, wow." Harper said. I can see her face started to get red. "Do you like her back?" Adrian asked. "She's cool but no." Ryan said. "Dang." Carter said and Quinn punched his arm. I chuckled the waitress came back and gave us our food. We started eating and table fell silent. This is awkward.

Julian started rubbing my thigh which made me punch him. "Ouch, she hulk." He said and we laughed. About teb minutes of us joking around the waitress came Back with the bill. "Excuse me, can you take a picture of us please?" I asked. "Sure." She said. I handed her my camera and we scooted closer to each other. We smiled and she took the picture. "Thank you." I said taking the camera and the pictures that came out.

I took my sharpie and wrote IHOP on the bottom of the picture. I put it in my scrapbook then we left. We got back in the car and Ryan turned on the radio. Everyone started singing along to fergalicious. Adrian was all into the song and it was too funny. "How long til we get to Los Angeles?" I asked.

"Three hours." Carter said. I groaned and laid my head back on Julian's shoulder. "You sleepy?" He asked and I shook my head. "Did anyone bring a bathing suit?" Leena asked. "Yeah." Everyone said. "So we're going to the beach right?" She asked. "Yeah." We said. She nodded and looked out the window.

------------------

11:30 pm

We finally got to Los Angeles and I'm so excited. We got out and got our things. Everyone walked inside and Carter and Ryan went to get our room keys. They came back and smiled. "Okay, we got two rooms." Carter said. "The guys are in one room and the girls are in the other." Ryan said. Everyone nodded and he handed me a room key. "Y'all got room 654." He said. I nodded then the girls and I walked away.

We got to our room and walked in. I smiled at the huge room. There's two beds. "I call sleep with Sinead." Quinn said then we walked to our bed. "I'll take the pull out couch." Leena said. "No you don't have to." I replied. "I want to." She said. I shrugged and plopped down on the bed. "How about some room service?" I smirked.
