"The Contest"
"What the hell?" I said out loud as the phone startled me awake. I rolled over to my stomach and looked at the time, "Who is calling at five in the morning?" I ask myself, as I reach over and picked the phone up.
"Hello?"
"OH MY GOD! I WON THE CONTEST!"
"Oh, Caitlyn. And what are you talking about?" I asked, because I was still practically asleep.
"You know! The WWE contest. I won! I won! I can go with them on the road for two months! I get to see my favorite wrestler! And I want you to come with me. They said I could pick only one friend."
"I thought that was over last week?" I asked, as I sat up in the bed.
"It was, when I won!" Caitlyn said, with excitement.
"And you're just telling me this now?" I asked, knowing she was not good at keeping secrets this big for very long. Sometimes, she can't even go a day without telling someone about something that shouldn't be told.
"Yes. It was harder than you think! So, as I was saying, only one friend is allowed to go and I pick you."
"Caitlyn, you know I don't like wrestling. Are you sure you want me to go?"
"Of course! You are my friend, aren't you?"
"Yes, Caitlyn. I have work, though. I have to talk to Mike and see if he will ev-"
"I know Amanda." She said, as she cut me off. "I already talked to Mr. Shinoda and he said it was alright."
I shook my head and couldn't help but to just laugh a little, "You talked to Mike? And are you sure he said it was okay?" I asked.
"Yes, Amanda."
"Okay then. So, when do we have to hit the road?"
"Today."
"Today?" I asked, as I put my hand over my face as I shook my head "And I haven't even packed yet. You are something, you know it?" I said, as Caitlyn laughed a little and I just shook my head.
"That's why I called you this early, Amanda. We don't leave until three."
I felt a little angry with her, because she has always been "last minute" kind of girl. And she woke me up at five in the morning. I just shake my head like I always do and said, "Okay then. Well, let me get off the phone, so I can get myself ready."
"Okay, bye! I will see you in a little bit." Caitlyn said, as she hung the phone up and didn't give me time to say bye back.
I hung the phone up, and I walked into the living room with a bottle of water and sat down on the couch. I was not looking forward to this. I don't like wrestling and I didn't like wrestlers. Two months on the road? I thought to myself. I unscrewed the lid off my water and started drinking it. When I finished drinking the water, I got up, walked into the kitchen and I threw it away. I walked into the bathroom and took my shower. When I finished, I went in my room and started packing things that I was going to need and things that I was not going to live without for two months.
When I finished packing, I looked at the time and decided that I could get some more sleep. After all, I am no morning person. I called Caitlyn and told her that I finished packing and that I was going to get some shut eye. After a long while of sleep, I finally woke up around noon. I got out of my bed and went into the bathroom and fixed my hair a little. I was definitely not going to make myself look good for a bunch of wrestlers, I thought to myself. I heard a knock on the door, so I walked out of the bathroom and got the door. It was Caitlyn.
"Hey, Cait."
"Are you ready? We've got a long drive."
"We are driving?"
"Yes, we should get there by three. Then we can start our trip with the hotties."
"Eh, hotties?"
"Yes, Amanda. Now, go get your things so we can get going."
"Okay, okay."
With that, I walked to my room and grabbed my bags and some stuff that I was going to need. As I was coming out of my room, Caitlyn was in a rush, so she snatched my stuff and took them to her car. I went through the house to make sure everything was all locked up.
