Chapter 2

Hello, my name is Austin Moon and I really want to win this cruise. You see, the local radio station is having this contest and I have to win! It would make this summer the best one ever. Plus, it's not like I get to go away much. My parents always say it costs too much or it's too much work or some other lame excuse which they can't make if I win the tickets.

So anyways I'm sat here surrounded by phones. I had the home phone, my cell phone, both of my parents cell phones (don't tell them), and my best friend Dez, with his cell phone of course.

Finally they played the song which was the cue to call. Dez and I started calling like crazy. The home phone and my dads cell got a busy signal, my moms got hung up on, and Dez was the wrong caller. However, mine was ringing. Suddenly someone picked up.

"Hello there, who am I speaking to?" they asked.

"Austin Moon," I replied excitedly.

"Well Austin Moon, how would you like an all inclusive cruise vacation for four upon the newest cruise liner out there?" they asked me.

I jumped up and down and squealed like a little girl but I didn't care. I won! I actually won!

"YES!" I yelled into the phone as Dez jumped around knocking over my guitar.

"Dez be careful with that!" I yelled out of the receiver.

"Sounds like somebody heard the good news," the radio person chuckled. "Who do you have there with you Austin?"

"My best friend Dez ."

"Will Dez be joining you on deck?" they asked as I put the phone on speaker.

"Of course!" I beamed as Dez jumped around cheering some more.

"Well it sounds like you guys are pretty excited why don't I get your information down?" they asked and I put the phone back to my ear. I gave them my info before hanging up the phone and dancing around the room with Dez.

This was going to be the best summer ever!
