CHAPTER 2-

BEEEEP BEEEEP BEEEEP

My alarm clock goes off and I want to pick it up and throw it across the room. But then I remember what day it is, and I shoot up out of bed and go to my walk in closet. I pick out a pair of faded designer jeans and a plaided green, blue, and white skirt. I picked up my white graphic T that says Live, Laugh, Love and put it with my clothes for the day. I put them on my bed and went and took a shower. I was so excited that I was singing in the shower.

I am so excited because today, is the LAST day of school! DONE with high school….forever! I know I'm 19 but hey all those stupid different foster homes got me held back a year. But I'm so glad it's all over! Now on to pursue my singing career!

I get dressed and walk downstairs (my rooms on the third floor) through the hidden staircase in my room, I love that thing! Our house so amazing! Its HUGE, and has two pools, a BIG backyard and front yard, a five car garage, and four story's high.(including the basement) We have servants, though I don't really like having them do a lot, and we also have butlers. Living in Beverly hills is amazing!

I walk downstairs and see Billy sitting at the counter reading the newspaper. I sneak up behind him and give him a bear hug.

"Thank you, for last night." I whispered in his ear.

I could feel him tense up and then relax.

"No problem, you know you really need to start locking your door. That way dad wont get in." he said back.

"I know." Was all I said as I went to Mrs. Sevarth to tell her I wanted some Reese's Puffs.

I got used to having servants in the first year, but I still don't really like telling them what to do. I went and sat down across from Billy and smiled. He was sooo nice to me. I truly loved him like a brother. He helped me through everything and makes me so happy and cheers me up when I'm down. He is the best big brother anyone would want!

"So, I'm guessing your as excited as I am for the last day of school?" he asks me.

"Nope, I'm more excited than you! I can't for it to be finally over!" I say jumping out of my chair and twirling around.

"You know what you won't like about today?" he asks.

I stop twirling and look at him. I can see in his eyes what he's about to do.

"No! please don't! NOOOOOOOOOOO!" I say as I run down the hall with Billy chasing me.

I go to Carly's room and see that she is dressing her baby doll. So I run over to her and tell her to hide me. I knew she wouldn't be able to hide me since I'm 5'9" and she's only 4 feet tall. Billy comes in and sees me trying to hide behind her.

"AH HA! I found you at last! Mwahahhahhaha" he says as he points me out and stands in a stance that only Peter Pan would stand in.

"Nooooo!" I yell, and run past him…well try to run past him. I didn't make it.

He grabbed me and pushed me on the ground and started tickling me. I screech with laughter trying to get him to stop. He wouldn't budge, so I started moving around a lot and finally he stopped. I get up and look at him playfully.

"You know, your 18 ALMOST 19, you need to stop being so childish." I say trying my best not to laugh.

"Yeah, says the one who still plays with lego's." he says laughing.

"Hey! Lego's are awesome! They are all different colors AND you can build stuff with them! Hmph!" I say turning my back towards him and strutting off like I was on a cat walk. I started cracking up when I got to my room. Then I noticed what time it was, and yelled

"Billy! Come on! Were going to be late for school!"

I run downstairs to see the my Reese's Puffs were in a Zip Lock baggy. I thank Mrs. Sevarth for doing that and take them out to the car.

"I call driving!" I say because I know Billy wont hear me and I wanted to drive, PLUS, I got there first!

I wait for about 5 minutes and see the front door open. Out comes Billy and Carly all ready to go. The only thing was that they were running….in slow motion. I beep the horn making a motion that meant hurry up!

When they finally got in the car, I told everyone to have their seat belts on and drove to school. First dropping Carly off at her school, and then going to our high school. We got there and right as we got inside the first bell rang. We started running to our classes, and we got their just in time before the last bell rang.

AFTER SCHOOL-

The final bell rang and we all jumped out of our chairs screaming at the top of our lungs. We were all so happy high school was over! We ran out of the school, and I said goodbye to all of my friends, telling them to keep in touch. Billy and I met at the car and drove to get Carly from school.

Once we picked her up we decided to go celebrate, we all went to Sonic. We sat and ate outside the whole time…no way was I eating in MY new Mustang. We started talking and I was having a great time until Carly brought up something she heard in school from her friends.

"Billy! Billy guess what I heard!" she said so excitingly.

"What did you hear squirt? Billy asked while patting her head.

"I heard that the Jonas Brothers are coming to our town…and living in OUR neighborhood!" she said jumping up and down.

Billy smiled but turned to me, he was the only one who knew about what happened at my last foster home. He knew that I never wanted to see them again. He looked at me and took my hand and patted it.

I looked at Carly, and said

"That's great!" trying to sound convincing. Luckily she was so hyped up about them living near us that she didn't see the different emotions playing on my face. Why here? Why in OUR neighborhood, why not somewhere else? This is going to be a summer I will never forget.
