She had been in the library for hours. Lydia Scott had to finish her paper for English class. It was the last one before Sophomore year was over and she couldn't let her 4.0 GPA go down. It was already 5:30 and she told her mom she would be home in time for dinner. Her dad was coming home tonight. He had been gone for a week with Clay. They had some new football player they were looking at. When they leave Aunt Quinn and Logan come over almost every night. Aunt Quinn doesn't like to only cook for her and Logan. Logan is only a year older than me. He isn't my real cousin but Aunt Quinn adopted him so he is my cousin. I have to get this dinner over with and then this Thursday we have to go to "The BBQ" that is with my parents group of friends. I don't mind most of the time because all of my friends will be there too. My mom's best friend Brooke and her husband Julian come with there twins, who are the same age as me, Davis and Jude. Then my Uncle Lucas and Aunt Peyton come with Sawyer. Mouth and Mille, and their daughter Molly, who will be going into 6th grade. Mia and Chase with 6 years old Anastasia. Then of course Aunt Quinn and Uncle Clay with Logan. It's always a lot people and hosted at a different house every week but we have done since forever. Mom and Brooke always close Karen's Café and Baker Man early on Thursdays and Fridays. Thursdays for the BBQ and Fridays for the basketball games at the high school. My big brother Jamie used to play but graduated not Davis, Jude, and Logan play. Sawyer is a cheerleader. Me I just go to support by best friends and cousins.
I needed to get home it was Tuesday night and my dad would be home any minute. I am so glad that I am 16 and can drive myself places. I am way too busy for my own good. I tutor, work at my mom's café, and I am the student body Vice President. My parents bought me my car for my 16th birthday if I promised to keep my good grades and kept up all my other responsibilities. Well that was my mom's rules. My dad thought that if I did better than him in school and did my other stuff I was perfect. He just liked to spoil his baby girl.
"Mom I'm home is dad here yet!"
"Yes he is right here!" My dad screamed and swung me into a big hug like he always does.
"Daddy! I missed you so much. Tell me you are not going out of town for a while now. Right?"
"Yes baby girl. I'm home for an entire month before I have to go anywhere."
"Well that's just not enough time!"
"Ya, I know well we should probably go eat dinner before your mom comes yelling for us to come and eat."
Me and my dad are very close. Well even me and my mom are too. They got married as Juniors in high school because their parents sucked so now they try to be the very best parents anybody could ever have.
We had a really nice dinner. My dad wanted to here about everything going on in my life that he missed. He said that since this Friday was the last day of school we should probably start planning the vacation.
The vacation includes everybody. All my parents friends and all their kids. We go somewhere awesome and spend time with our family and friends. It's always really fun. But now I know what the topic of "he BBQ" will be this week.
"Honey I want you to think of some places you want to go then tell me some your father and I can start to plan with everybody." My mother told me while we were doing the dishes after dinner.
"Ya I will talk to Sawyer tomorrow at school and I'll tell you some places we would like to go tomorrow night. Alright? Well I am going to go say good night to dad and then finish up some homework and go to bed. Night Love You." I kissed my mom and left.
I went into my dad's study and kissed him and headed up to my room. I had the whole top floor to myself. It was nice to have a retired NBA player who is now a sports agent as your dad. My house was huge we had a big in ground pool outback with a bar and nice furniture plus a hot tub. Then inside a theatre, game room, gym, recording studio, and a whole lot of other stuff. My mom used to be a pretty famous singer at one point to, that's why we have the recording studio. She doesn't like to cross town to Aunt Peyton's Record Label to record. But my room is the best room in the whole house.
Since it's the whole top floor of the house it's pretty big. I like the whole black and white thing with a touch of red. So those are my colors of my room. When you walk up the stairs you have my study area. I have my computer, all my books, my desk, my smart bored, and project area. You go right and behind the wall is were my bed is. I have a queen size bed with a couple bed side tables, and a huge bored with hundreds of pictures my family and friends. If you go back to my study area and go left you have my bathroom and closet. I have a bathroom with a walk in shower and Jacuzzi tub. Then you normal toilet. I have a big sink area and a huge mirror. Then you walk out of the bathroom and go down the hall a little bit more and you get my walk in closet. We have a lot of girls shopping days. Plus Brooke is like a famous designer and gives me and Sawyer a bunch of clothes. But my closet is huge there are mirrors all over with. Every different type of clothing has its own section. From underwear to shirts to sunglasses to purses, sometimes I think I could just live in my closet.
But anyways I went to my room to finish my English paper. I did that and went straight to bed I was so tired.
