Now…
"Hey daddy, what's up?" I said, after picking up my new iphone from my bed and pushing my best friend Aly off my bed.
"Hey baby, I know today is Valentines Day and everything," she heard her father's voice from the other end of the phone sounding uncomfortable, " but well I hate to do this to you-"
"Daddy honestly just get to the point, what do you need?" she said impatiently knowing he wanted her to do something.
"Sorry to do this Pumpkin, but there's this movie premier tomorrow and well it would really look good if you were there, I have four tickets and I can't make it, so why don't you and three of your friends go? Two boys and a girl of course, I'll be sure to have some dresses and suits sent to the house and have your room and three others made up in the house, or if you want a hotel I'll get you a suite? Whatever you need you can get it or I will if that's too much work?" he said quickly hoping that I would say yes.
"Daddy! Daddy! DAD!" I shouted into the phone to try and get him to stop. Once he did I continued "Answer this with on word okay? What is the name of the movie?"
"Um…. Jumper?" he said in a questioning voice.
"Really? Cool. Oh and will we need to go to any parties afterwards?" I said finally getting excited about this, from what I'd seen of the trailers the movie looked like it would be cool.
"Uh yes. Rachel is having a party after and she asked me if I could get you to come. Would you?" he said with a pleading tone in his voice.
"Go to a Rachel party? Of course I will! I love hanging with her!" now I was really excited, Rachel and I had met on the set of The OC when I was about twelve and she and I had hit it off really well. She was basically like the older sister I had never had.
"So you'll do it?!" he sounded so relieved. "Well I'll send the jet up to you right away! It will be there in about thirty minuets. Do you want to stay in a hotel? Or is the house okay?"
"Daddy, we can stay at the house, it'll be nice to be home, well sort of anyway," I said while rolling my eyes. My dad has about five million houses, so saying that one was home was kind of weird. Most of the time we were all at school, but in the summer we liked to stay in Jackson because it was away from all the craziness of a big city.
"Okay, thank you so much baby, this means so much to me, you have no idea," he said happily.
"Well I better get going if I'm going to have three more people on that plane in a half hour," I said with a sigh. "I love you Daddy!"
"Love you too Pumpkin" he said back.
With that I hung up and started thinking who to bring. Aly was the obvious one, she was my best friend and had been going to these types of things with me for years. The problem would be our "escorts". That was the one thing I hated about these things was how you needed be a couple, not just a group of friends. So now I had to pick two of my guy friends to go with us. After talking to Aly for a bit we decided that Jason and Drew were the best choices. They both had never been to this kind of thing before, and were single so it wouldn't matter if we ended up in some magazine by the off chance that nothing else happened at the premiere. Oh and they looked like they had stepped right out of an Abercrombie ad. The one benefit to going to boarding school in Pebble Beach was the guys. They were all the perfect looking surfer boys that Cali was known for.
I quickly called them and they said they'd love to go. We all got out of our classes for the rest of the day and tomorrow and I called for my car to be ready out front so we could get to the airport.
It had taken me months to convince my dad to let me get a car, he thought that all she needed to do was call a car, that it shouldn't be a problem. But he hated not giving his only little girl what she wanted since I never really asked for anything, so I got a car, just a small little blue Ford Focus, the least flashy thing I could think of. I hated getting attention almost as much as I hated people who loved to get attention and were stuck up. Being the daughter of Fox Reed meant that I met a lot of people in both the movie and music business who thought they were all that even when they weren't, and I just liked to stay in the background and with eight brothers, that wasn't hard.
Aly and I quickly packed a bag for the weekend and met up with Jason on the stairs in the front entrance hall. He had on two polo tee shirts layered. The bottom one was light green and the top one is a standard school polo in grey. He looks like he just went from class to his room and put on a pair of jeans and threw some stuff in to a bag, which is probably what he had done. Aly secretly has a crush on him, and I can honestly say that I know why, but I just don't see any of our friends that way.
"Hey guys! I'm here I'm here! Sorry, I was helping Mr. Froyed with the internet in the study room and he wouldn't let me leave," Drew said while running into the hall with a duffle over his shoulder. He's a computer nerd who look shamefully good. He had on a pair of faded jeans and a white undershirt-like-tee shirt. "Here hold this" he said to you while handing you his bag and pulling a green striped button up shirt on and grabbing his bag without button it up. Oh have I mentioned that our school colors are grey, green, and blue?
You just laughed at him and popped the trunk of your car as you walked out the doors. "Alright! Let's get to LA so we can shop and look at hot boys!" you shouted turning to the car and grabbing Drew's ipod out of his back pocket. "Hey Mr. Tecman, you really should find a better place to put this!" I sang out as I jumped into the driver's seat and plugged it into the car while turning it on.
We all piled into the car and made our way to the airport.
