THE SUMMER OF OUR LIVES
Chapter One
"The Summer of a Lifetime!", screamed the title of the book in my hands, that was to help my best friend and me around England for the next few months. I turned the book over and over again in my hands, studying the cover. I was getting anxious. I began to wiggle around more and more in my cushioned first-class airplane seat. My best friend next to me sensed my fidgetiness and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Relax," she breathed with a grin. "Take a deep breath or something. You're beginning to make me nervous."
I did as she requested and breathed deep heavy breaths. I watched as attendants walked up and down the aisles making sure everyone was comfortably seated. I grinned to myself and thanked my parents silently in my heart. Through our parents graciousness Kara and I were being sent off to England for three months as our senior trip. I know it's a dream right? I had already pinched myself until I bled, then I finally came to believe what was happening. It was indeed the trip of a lifetime.
Kara and I had only dreamed to go to England, but today we were living our dream. Finally, we were out on our own and to England of all places! I heaved a sigh and looked the book over again. We, meaning Kara and I, had already planned most of our entire vacation. Our most awaited event's were to go see McFly, Son of Dork, and Elliot Minor, some of our favorite bands.
The had been one point in time –our freshman year to be exact- when we loved only McFly and only dreamt of meeting them –especially our favorites from the band, Tom Fletcher Kara's favorite, and Harry Judd who was mine- . As you well know, time changes and so do people and eventually the band – and boy- faded from my mind. Since it was our senior year, we decided as a favor to the past we would go see our once most beloved band.
I was finally put at ease when I heard a voice come over the intercom saying that the flight was about to take off. My anxiousness was soon replaced with excitement. I lie back in my seat and shut my eyes for the long flight, toward the place we had only dreamed about.
