Author's Note- Yeah, I know I have a gazillion other stories I haven't finished yet, but I just felt like doing this, because I kinda have writer's block for some of my other stories. If you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know! R&R!!!

The Block Estate

Family Room

Saturday- 9:30 A.M.

"But that's not fair at all!" Massie Block protested, crossing her arms and glaring at her parents who had stern looks on their faces. Massie had just found out that she was going to spend the whole summer at her aunt's house all the way in California. She apparently had no say whatsoever in her parent's decision. "Why do I have to go? Why can't I just stay here like I always do?"

Kendra Block sighed, "That's the point, Massie, you always spend your summer at home. All you do is go shopping, have parties, and hang out with your friends."

Massie's dad nodded in agreement, "So, this year, we decided to send you to your aunt's place to stay to get a different experience."

Massie frowned, "What kind of experience am I supposed to get?"

"We don't know, that's the whole purpose of this trip."

Massie was about to object, but stopped when she saw the looks on her parents' faces, she knew there was no way she could convince her parents to change their minds. She groaned, "Fine, when am I leaving?"

"Your flight leaves at 12:15 P.M."

Massie was shocked, "Wait, how did you know I was going to go along with this thing?" she peered suspiciously at her parents, looking for any hidden emotion or expressions.

"Massie, please, we're your parents," Kendra smiled, "why wouldn't we know?"

Massie didn't accept that as an answer, but she was too upset to care. "I still can't believe I'm actually going to do this." she muttered to herself, inspecting her nails.

"You better start packing," Kendra told Massie, "you only have about two hours before we have to leave." Massie ran upstairs to her room and immediately started packing. She took out three pairs of her True Religion jeans. She assumed it was going to be totally hawt in California, so she would be wearing shorts and skirts most of the time. She also took her brand new tank tops and dresses. She took a couple of flip flops, sandals, and a pair of her Jimmy Choo high heels. One never knew if she would attend anything special or formal. She then packed her necessary toiletries. Massie then put on her white with purple polka dots summer dress and slipped on her silver Miu Miu flats. She took her purple crystal encrusted Razr and texted all her friends.

MassieB: guess wat?

ClaireL: wat?

MassieB: im going to CA 4 the summer!

DylanM: wat? Why?

MassieB: long story, meet me at the airport at 11:30

AliciaR: ok

MassieB: I'll tell u guys at the airport

Massie closed her cell phone and slipped it into her Gucci purse. She grabbed her black Dior sunglasses and her two Coach suitcases. She was halfway down the stairs when she suddenly realized she could be leaving something very valuable behind. She jogged back upstairs and grabbed her beloved dog, Bean. She brought him down along with the rest of her things. She walked into the living room where her parents were watching T.V. They looked up when Massie entered the room.

"Can I bring Bean with me?" Massie asked her parents. Her parents immediately shook their heads. Massie pouted, "Why nawt?"

"Because it would be too much trouble." Kendra said, turning the T.V. off. "Besides, you don't need Bean with you to have a good time at your aunt's place."

Massie groaned, "Who says? First, you make me go to California, now you won't let me take Bean with me. You guys are so unfair!" she kissed Bean and hugged him one last time. "Bye, Bean, I'll miss you so much, be good!" she set Bean down on the ground and he pawed at Massie's legs, whining as if he knew what was happening to Massie. "Let's go," Massie said, walking to the front door. She and her parents climbed in to the Range Rover and pretty soon, they were on their way to the airport.

Massie looked out the window and watched the rows of houses pass by her. She sighed, leaning her head against the window. She fingered her charm bracelet and thought about what was going to possibly happen in California. Would she make any friends there or would she be a total LBR? Massie shuddered at the very thought of being a LBR. One thing's for sure, she was leaving most of her possessions behind, her beloved Bean, and most importantly, her friends; all for one unpredictable summer in sunny California.
