Emily's POV:
I honestly have no idea why we're going to a restaurant.
"Are you guys planning on telling us why we're going to a restaurant? I'd rather do my homework than dress up." I say.
"If it was up to me, you wouldn't have dressed up. But it was up to Mo, which means formal events. I swear, I need to find a way to make her stop with everything fancy. Just because there's only 3 more stops after this and it's the break before the North America tour." Mom says.
"Mom, if you were deciding this, you would have opted for a rock concert that nobody else would wanna see." Jake says. "And that's coming from me."
"And I agree with him," I say, "And we never agree with each other."
"You have to admit, you and Aunt Mo are the worst at planning these events. It's always something rebellious with you and something fancy with her. At least Aunt Olivia decides on something right in the middle." Leah says.
"And that was the girl who actually likes dressing up saying that." Parker says.
On our way there, our conversation kept going on like this. Once we got there though, us -the kids- got split into two tables while the parents had one. Kinda weird how we can split into three groups of six perfectly. We basically got split into the six oldest in one and the six youngest in the other. So, Keanna, Parker, Landon, Kyra, Madi and I were in one table, while Emma, Trent, Kayleigh, Leah, David and Jake were in another. I wish my birthday didn't have to be before mine right now, since I feel so out of place in this table.
"So, how is Leah's hair never tangled? When we were doing her hair earlier, it was just perfectly straight. It wasn't tangled and not one strand was out of sight. Do you know what she does?" I heard Kyra ask Parker.
"Don't ask me. I could care less what she does." He replies.
She glanced over at me.
"Don't look at me!" I exclaim. "I don't do fashion!"
"You two are the worst at keeping track of what your family do." Kyra says.
"Madi, stop bothering them. Just eat your dinner, and figure something out." Madi says.
"Whatever," Kyra says.
I lean over to Madi and ask, "Are you sure she's the older one?"
"Yes." She replies. I can't believe this.
"Code 2034?" I ask Parker.
"Yeah, remind me when we get back." He says.
Parker's POV:
"What are you two planning this time?" Keanna sighs.
"We were talking on the way here and Leah told us what would get Kyra distracted. And it happens to be my best friend who's able to do that." I say quietly so only she would hear.
Later...
"Why are we going on a walk?" Emily asks.
"It's beautiful outside." Aunt Mo answers.
She looks over at me with a 'What are you gonna do now?' look.
"There's a thing called tomorrow Em." I say.
She just glared at me before walking off with Leah.
"You and Emily had a disagreement earlier didn't you?" Keanna asks.
"Before we left the hotel. She wouldn't leave my room. Jake was hiding in the closet because of that." I say.
"I honestly think that no one argues more than you and Emily now." She says.
"I know." I say.
"The stars are beautiful today." She says resting her head on my shoulder.
"They are. I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now, and live in it forever." I say. (Okay, Lexi told me to use this sentence sometime in this story and apparently it's a quote from Catching Fire?)
"I wish that was possible. But it's the impossible. We're supposed to be back in Arizona in 10 days." She says.
"One can dream," I say.
"I wonder what it's gonna be like, when we get back to school. The gym's probably infested with prom decorations since it's in two weeks, we've missed five months of school now and finals start in a month." She says.
"You'll be fine. You have Lexi who can help you out." I say.
"I don't know. Lately, all she's been talking about when we talk on the phone is how cute Dylan got while I was gone." She says rolling her eyes.
"C'mon, let's worry about this the day before we have to go back." I say.
Well, this chapter's late... And random... I'm sorry how late it is! I didn't go to school today so I was gonna work on this story and all the other ones I promised to update by today (Which I'm not gonna promise any dates right now since I'm probably not gonna be able to keep the promise but I can say SLDNMWLM and The Truth About Her will be updated sometime in the next 10 days) but after my step-dad left for work, my mom let my best friends come over and we were fooling around and I finally finished this chapter! But, I have the next four days free since it's EASTER! So, yea... Hope you enjoyed!
