I was sitting at my kitchen table on my pink iPhone 5c. My younger sister Rory was right across from me.
"I like your outfit, Izzy," Rory complimented me.
"Thanks." I was wearing a light purple Victoria's Secret PINK Varsity sweatshirt with high waisted shorts. My long light brown hair was pulled back into a high ponytail and I had my 'I' necklace from Tiffany's around my neck. It was an 8th grade graduation present from my family. My gray Vans were on my feet.
My mother walked carrying a bunch of papers.
"I have good news!" She told us.
"What is it about?" I asked.
"It's about Vine!"
My sister Rory and I had started Vine in April of 2014. It is now 6 months later, and we have almost 1 million followers! The people at MagCon had been trying to get us to come to an event, but our mother thought it was too early and we were too young.
Since we have come so far in such a short amount of time, our mother finally agreed to let us go to the next event in Los Angeles, California the weekend of October 11th.
"OH MY GOSH!" Rory and I screamed at the same time. We both ran to hug our mother.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Rory squealed.
"We have to tweet!" I told her. We both whipped out our iPhones and my twitter app appeared right away. I began to type, but we had to check with each other what we were saying. Mine ended up saying: Come meet @RoryJames and I at Magcon LA next weekend! Omg can't wait! then the kissy face and smiley with eye hearts.
I tweeted it and then my phone beeped about Rory's newest Tweet: Omgg!! @IzzyJames and I will be at MagCon LA!! Come hit us up!! Then she added two kissy faces. I favorited and retweeted her tweet and my notifications were blowing up about all the fans excited to meet us. I saw one tweet that caught my eye..
@NashGrier: @IzzyJames @RoryJames You're coming to Magcon? ABOUT TIME! Can't wait to finally meet you both! xx
I smiled a super big smile. This wasn't the first time he's tweeted me, we've tweeted back and forth before but we haven't actually met in person. I took a selfie with Rory and we both posted it to our Instagrams, spreading the good news. The last social media was Vine. We made a, funny to us but actually weird, vine and posted it to our shared channel Izzy and Rory. It was currently Saturday, a week before the event. So I had a week to get everything together.
Rory and I ended up going down to my room to film a YouTube video for my channel. I was almost to 500K subscribers, and I had promised them a sister tag with Rory. Now we could even announce MagCon together on there, too.
I set up my video camera, tripod, and filming lights in our basement living room, right across from my bedroom.
I tried to start an intro, but Rory wouldn't stop laughing so that alone took about 20 minutes. We finally got the video done an hour later. It was almost 6:00 so we went up for supper.
After we ate I went down to my room to edit the video so I could get it up. I finished up at about 10:00 and went to bed.

The following morning I woke up at about 8:00. I went on my phone to check Twitter and realized that I never responded to Nash.
I tweeted back: @NashGrier Can't wait to meet you either! It's gonna be so much fun!!(:
Of course, the second I tweeted that out my notifications blew up asking if we were dating, saying we're their OTP, or just jealous girls sending me hate. I closed down Twitter and went upstairs for breakfast.
I came upstairs to Rory already at the kitchen table on her phone and eating a bowl of cereal, the rest of our house was quiet.
Rory was my only younger sibling, we also had an older brother Jack who was almost 18. However, he lived full time with our dad while Rory and I lived with our mom.
I made a bagel and sat down across from Rory. "I need to go shopping for Magcon." I told her.
"Yes! Me, too!" She replied.
"Good morning!" Our mom walked in.
"Morning!" Rory and I both said in synch.
"You girls never let me finish last night."
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
"I mean about your trip next weekend."
"Oh, sorry!" Rory replied. "We just got super excited!"
"I could tell!" My mom smiled.
"What else is there to say?" I asked.
"Well the event is Friday night, practically all day Saturday and then Sunday morning. You both were also invited to a fancy dinner party Sunday night."
"Oo!" I said.
"Your flight leaves Thursday at noon so you'll be there for a few meetings you have."
"Are you coming with?" I asked her.
My mom stared us both down. "Well... No." She sighed. My eyes widened.
"You're letting us go half way across the country by ourselves?!" Rory exclaimed.
"Yes. Only because I trust you both and you'll be staying at one of the two boys' there family's beach house they have there or something." I was confused.
I looked confusingly over at Rory. "Who are we staying with?"
"The Griers." Mine and Rory's jaws both dropped. I smiled.
"Sweet!" I said.
"Hayes is CUTE!" Rory yelled. He was a year younger than me, two years older than Rory.
"Nash is cuter!" I told her. He was 16, I'm pretty sure. Less than 2 years older than me.
"Girls." My mom gave us the 'stare'. "Now since you wouldn't be back until that Monday, and Izzy's birthday is on Tuesday, I decided you can stay with them for a week." I screamed.
"You're kidding?!" I yelled.
"October Fools?!" Rory asked.
"No. This is for real! I talked to their step-mom and their dad, Chad. They said they'll be there for about 2 weeks and you two are welcome to stay with them to explore LA!" I jumped up and ran to hug her. I was so excited! My 15th birthday was going to be spent in my dream city!

I ran down stairs after I ate to get ready for the day. I had so many errands to run and stuff to do before school started tomorrow and I left on Thursday.
I quickly took a shower and then ran to my room to get dressed. I searched my closet for a nice outfit for today. Then I realized I should probably check the weather. It was going to be about 55 degrees. Perfect capri weather. I grabbed my pair of white capris and a flowy dark pink tshirt. I picked out my favorite boyfriend style, gray cardigan and picked out a floral scarf and belt to add on. I don't like to use heat on my hair, and it was already almost 10 so I put it in a side braid and did my simple makeup I always wore. I slipped on white and black polka-dot Keds and grabbed my Vera Bradley side purse in the pattern 'English Rose'. Grabbing my pink iPhone 5C, I ran up the stairs to see Rory leaning on the counter. She was wearing a navy blue floral tanktop with a white cardigan over it. She also had on capris, but hers were a regular jean in light wash. Her curly blond hair was put up into a bun and she had navy TOMs on her feet. I saw her light brown leather side purse laying on the counter and she was taking selfies for SnapChat on her iPhone 5c.
"Is mom ready yet?" I asked her.
"Uh, I don't know." She said. I walked away and down the hall to my mom's room. I knocked on her door.
"Ready?" I asked her through her door. It swung open and she was on her cell phone, as usual.
"Almost. I have to take this call quick. One moment please." Then she shut the door.
After about 10 minutes my mom finally came out. "Sorry girls! Some people don't understand that it's Saturday I guess."
Finally we left our house and arrived at the mall.
"My open house is done at about 3 but I won't be able to get you until 4. You guys could go to a movie if you wanted to?" Our mother told us.
"Yeah!" Rory said. I nodded and told her I'd check the times later. We kissed and hugged goodbye and Rory and I walked into our small mall.
After about two hours we were now approaching 1:00. Rory and I were getting super hungry. We walked to the food court and I decided to get chinese food while Rory got a sub.
"Are you excited?" I asked her.
"Yes!" She replied. "Do you think Hayes and Nash know we're staying with them?"
"Probably," I sipped my strawberry smoothie.
"Are you worried?"
"About?"
"Staying there."
"No.. Well.. Kind of. You?"
"Kinda." We finished eating and then went shopping for another hour.
"I have to go to Ulta." I told Rory She nodded. We had to walk across the street to the store and I checked my phone for messages and to tell our mom where we were going. I had 5 missed messages. One from my mom seeing how things were, 2 from my best friend, Ava, one from Jack Gilinsky, a Magcon boy who I have met before and we were pretty good friends and then one from an unknown number. I opened the message from Jack first.
Hey, Iz! Heard you're FINALLY coming to MagCon! I'm so excited to see you again! The other guys are dying to meet you! Especially Nash! Btw I gave him your numberrr (;
I smiled to myself and replied: Hey, J! I know I am SO EXCITED for MagCon! It's gonna be a blast! I cannot wait to see you and Jack again and meet the other guys! You can tell Nash I'm super excited to meet him, too!!(: And okay about the number, I think he already texted me(:
I sent the message and opened up the one from the unknown number. Sure enough, it was Nash.
Hi Izzy! It's Nash! Jack G gave me your number. I hope that's okay.. I heard we're gonna be roomies at my beach house! Can't wait! xx (:
Smiling to myself, I replied to him: Omg! Hi Nash! That's totally fine! I cannot wait to be roomies! We're gonna have so much fun!(: xxx
I locked my phone so we could cross the street and then we walked into Ulta. Rory went to look around and I had to answer Ava's texts.
Thanks for telling me you're going to MagCon! :P I'm jealous!
Then I opened the next one: Will you be gone for your birthday??
I replied to her yes that I would but that I would be back by the following Thursday! I went over to look at the makeup when my phone vibrated. It was from Nash.
N: What day are you coming over? And how long are you staying?
I: My sister and I will be coming there on Thursday the 9th and leaving the next Thursday I think
N: Sweet! A whole week! Is this your first time in LA?
I: Yes it is! I'm so excited! It also just happens to be over my birthday!(:
N: Really?? When's your birthday?
I: That Tuesday the 14th(:
N: No way!(: How old are you turning?
I: 15
N: Youngster ;)
I: Oh please! You can't be that much older than me!
N: I know haha I'll be 17 in December
I: Oldie (;
I had to lock my phone so I could pay for what I got. It was almost 4 already.
"Do you still want to go to a movie?" I asked Rory.
"Not really. I have homework to do." She told me. I called mom and she was already on her way.
