I woke up full of energy, refreshed to start the next week at my wonderful school. I grabbed my phone, which I had unplugged from the charger before that, and the first thing I saw was a fan profile notification for Sean.
I don't hide, I was surprised by the sudden spam on my fanpage.
-Sean seeing something? - I said to myself.
Forgetting about school completely, I started browsing through the rest of the notifications from the rest of the social network.
It took about an hour. Then I realized that I had forgotten something. I looked around the room, but nothing caught my attention. I looked back at the phone
8:47am
-shit, I'm late!...
I got out of bed, went on a quick routine, and changed. I did it so quickly and unconsciously that I forgot to wake up my mother who was supposed to drive me to school. I ran to her room and started tugging aggressively.
-Mom, I'm late. Will you give me a ride?
-Ask Devon.
-mom please...
-Oh, it's okay. Go get the food ready and I'll get ready at the same time - said mom getting up from the bed.
-Thank you!! - I hugged her with all my strength and ran to get my school meal ready.

-Mom ..
-Yes? - my mom asked, driving the car with concentration
-I'm already an adult, right?
-Yes..?
-And you trust me, don't you?...
-Of course, i do.
-Okay.. so yeah..
-Say it.
-You know Sean? I've been running this fan account for him for a long time, where I have 24k followers. (lmao i wish)
-It would be hard to forget about him. A wonderful boy..
-Well and.. you probably won't believe it, but-
-But what? Kayc, talk faster. We'll be at school soon.
-Sean wrote to me yesterday that he liked my dances, followed me on ig and..
-Oh gosh, really? - she said incredulously
-And he asked if I could meet him.
-Of course, no problem. I'll take you there.
-But mom.. he lives in LA.
-Wait, wait.. are you trying to tell me that you want to go to a not known boy a few hundred miles from here?
-He offered it to me! He said he would pay for the tickets if there was a problem
-There would be no problem with tickets, but there's no way that you would go anywhere, especially on your own and on the days you go to school.
-Mom! I won't fly alone. Girls can fly with me and school is over in less than a week! I have a good-
-No
-But..
-No
-But..
-No no and no. Kaycee, you're not flying to Los Angeles, even if it's on summer.
-Mom, this is a life chance for me. A master in dance, a genius of movements, an actor, my idol offered me to come to him! Besides, I could live with dad temporarily!..
-Try to talk with your father, then we can discuss. - Mom said hesitantly. - We're here, take your bag and go to class because you will be late soon.
-I promise you that dad will agree - I said nervously and slammed the car door.
dad, please.. say yes..

5th class. I couldn't focus on my studies all the time. All I thought was that my dad would agree to come over there. My parents were divorced due to the fact that my mom didnt want to live in US anymore. When I was born, I immediately moved to her native country with her. Although my dad spoke English, he was not American, but he wanted me to be raised in America like a real American, same my brother and sister, but my mom didn't like it. The only advantage of all this is that I went and still go to the national school, where students from all over the world attend. It was there that I met Taylor, Tahani and Bailey and I am so glad to be there.
-Hello, are you alive? - Natalie asked, who was walking with me all the way down the hall to where we were supposed to have the next lesson.
-. um, yes. Sorry..
-Okay, tell me what's going on. I can see something is wrong.
-Sean offered me to come to LA. - I said, sitting down at one of the tables in the corridor.
-Oh fu-.. Dude has been your idol for long years. 99.9% of the world's population wouldnt even expect it, and you are the 0.1%, in addition, the guy who lives on the other continent invites you to HERSELF - Nat said who was out of breath.
-Talk to my dad... it's up to him now whether I meet him or not.
- Then write him. What are you waiting for?
-I didn't talk to him a long time.
-Life is too short to regret anything and to worry about something. Write. Remember that with this message you can make your dream come true, and you can improve your contact with your dad.
-You're right. - I said after a moment's thought. I took out my phone, searched for conversations with my dad and wrote
kaycee: hey dad. yes, ik.. i haven't spoken for a long time. im so sorry for that. we are all fine. summer is coming soon.
dad, ik this isnt the right time, you have your own works, responsibilities. but could I come to you with my friends? you know Natalie, Tahani, Bailey, and Taylor. coming to la is one of my life decisions. thanks to this, i can make my huge dream come true.
I hope you write back..
love you dad.
-And? - I asked giving Natalie the phone.
-Okay, send it now.
-Sent. Okay, let's go to lessons. Two more hours and freedom.
-Ugh.. keep your fingers crossed that everything will work out..
