I sat on the bus with a huge grin spread across my face. Finally school's over and I can sleep until noon. Well if mom will let me. She has this agenda to keep me on a good sleeping schedule but if it was up to dad he'd let me sleep all day if I wanted too. The bus squealed to a stop at my house, so I pulled my backpack over my shoulder as I plopped off the bus.

The door shut as soon as I stepped off. With a sigh I walked up to the front door of the ugly pale yellow painted house I live in. I heaved the door open and stepped into a large cylinder-like foyer. In front of me was a doorway that lacked a door and to my right was the staircase that led me up to my room.

"Danielle how was the last day of school?" called my mom from the kitchen.

I walked through the doorway, down the long narrow hallway and stepped into the living room, then took a left and pushed through the swinging door and stepped into the kitchen where my mom sat at the kitchen table sipping from a coffee mug.

"It's Dani, remember?"

"Oh yeah, sorry sweetie, so?" she said suggestively, tucking a strand of loose blond hair behind her left ear. Her emerald green eyes glared into my own green eyes as they searched my subconscious for any clues about my answer.

"No mom, I don't have a crush on anyone" I replied in monotone.

She laughed and took another sip of her coffee. Then the sound of the front door opening caught my attention. Dad isn't supposed to be home yet, he shouldn't get off until six tonight. I took a seat next to mom and waited for dad to reach the kitchen. Then the door opened and my mom looked up as did I only to find my best friend standing there, blond hair with blue tips and all.

"Hey Rosie, I thought you were my dad for a second."

"Yay, I guess I did my job then. Now let's go chill in your bedroom" she replied, bouncing up and down like a basketball.

I followed her out of the kitchen, back through the hallway, and up the staircase in the foyer. Rosie opened the only door on the right side which was my bedroom.

We stepped into a wonderland of black and purple. Rosie looked at all the drawings I've push-pined to the walls as I plopped down on my black bedspread. This is gonna be the best summer vacation ever.

"Hey Rosie, are you staying for dinner?" I asked, as she turned around to face me.

"Yeah, if that's ok with your mom" with that said she gave me a puppy dog look with her big hazel eyes.

"Fine, I'll ask."

I pulled my blackberry out of my pocket and called my mom from upstairs; she answered on the third ring.

"Seriously Dani, you couldn't come downstairs to tell me what you needed?"

"Nope, that requires far too much walking. So can Rosie stay for dinner?"

"Sure, and if you call me from up their again I'll kill you" she said, lightheartedly.

"Okay, whatever you say mommy-dearest." With that I hung up the phone. Rosie eyes showed all the anticipation she had. I nodded my head and she began to squeal causing me to get a headache.

Maybe this summer will blow after all. I placed my index fingers to each of my temples and began to rub in circles. I fell back on the bed. I regret asking mom that question.
