A/N: Hey! Sorry for the late update. I've been really busy lately. Hope this chapter makes up for it!

We were still in Washington D.C. and Collin and I were wandering around the National Mall aimlessly. We were leaving tomorrow so we were trying to spend as much time wandering as possible. And then my stomach rumbled. Collin laughed and I smiled at his laugh.

"Hungry?" He asked, sarcastically, still smiling. I nodded. "I'm hungry too. I'll go and get us a couple of peices of pizza."

"'Kay. Don't be long." I said, and he let go of my hand and went off in search of a pizza stand. Then, I sat down on a nearby bench.

"Hey. My name's River Snowz. What's yours?" I heard a suave voice behind me say.

I turned around and saw a good-looking boy about my age. He was dressed in a punk outfit and he had a guitar case on his back. He had black hair, skater style, and he had chocolate brown streaks and he had chocolate brown eyes with gold-flecks. He was tall and lanky and he had full, pink lips and a brooding look on his face. He also had a world-class tan.

"Macey McHenry. You wanna sit down?" I asked, and he came over, took the guitar case off his back, and sat down.

"You play guitar?" I asked.

"Yeah. Acoustic. I also play the drums, sing, and all that chiz." He said and I cocked my eyebrows.

"Chiz? What is that?" I was very curious.

"I think it's a German sausage. I'm not sure though. Wait, did you say your name was Macey McHenry?" I nodded.

"Aren't you the VP's daughter?" He asked.

"Yeah. Just please don't make a big deal about it. I'm so sick of everybody pretending to like me just because I'm the vice-president's daughter!" I said, exasperatedly.

"I was planning on it. I know how you feel. I'm the govener of Georgia's son. It's really jank being a child of power." I looked over at him and he was looking at me sympathetically.

"I know! And I hate having to put on this act whenever I'm with my parents publically. It's like the real me just isn't good enough!" I said, my voice rising.

"Exactly! I have to go out with the most riduculous girls because in the words of my parents, 'They can help with the campaign.' Can you believe it? It's like my happiness just isn't important to them!"

"I know! When my dad was campaigning, they almost forced me to go out with Preston Winters! He sickens me!" I shuddered at the thought of Preston.

"Yeah. He's pretty weird looking. I mean what seventeen year old boy wears a tux of his own free will? And his tuxes don't even fit! For one, he doesn't even look seventeen!" That is very true.

"You so get me! Do you have to wear really uncomfortable clothes when you're aout with your parents?" I asked, gettin worked up.

"Yeah. I have to wear tuxes by force. Trust me when I say that tuxes are horrible!"

"I beleive you. I have to wear pumps! Those things make my feet hurt like crap!"

"Hey, Mace- Who's this?" Collin asked, coming up with two slices of pizza

"Hey, Collin! This is River. River, this is my boyfriend, Collin." I said, scooting over closer to River and patting the seat next to me. He sat and handed me one of tthe peices to me. I looked over at River and he looked disappointed.

"Nice to meet you, River." Collin said, and reached over to shake his hand. They shook once and then went back to their original positions.

"Nice to meet you, too. Hey, Macey, are you going to be at the State Dinner?" River asked.

"Yeah." I said, chewing my pizza.

"Cool. I'll see you then. Bye." The State Dinner is tonight. Of course, my mom wouldn't let me skip out.

"He seems cool." Collin said, stuffing his mouth with pizza.

"Collin. Chew and remember to breathe! And yeah he is cool." Collin never slows down when it comes to food.

"But it's so good!" He complained, his mouth still stuffed. I just laughed and wiped some grease off his chin.
