I wake to the noise of the mail slot clattering on my door. I glance at my clock and read the time - 11:56. Now would be a okay time to wake up, I guess. I yawn as I stretch my arms, uncovering my body from my blanket. I made my way downstairs to collect the mail, expecting to see some snail mail from grandma.
Yesterday was quite a day. Me and Logan had eventually made our way to his house again. We walked in on the boys rehearsing a song that I was unfamiliar with. Katelyn had gotten my text and was already there. Logan quickly told them to stop and save it for the recording today. I was excited, that was for sure. Logan drove me home about two hours later and I fell asleep, feeling pretty relaxed.
As I made my way down the stairs, a large envelope on the floor caught my eye as I made my way over to the door, bending down to pick it up. I glanced at the packaging and saw the words Toronto Institute of Canada on the front of it. I made a face, opening the envelope, wondering why this place was contacting me.
I pulled out the letter and my eyes widen as I read the first word : 'Congratulations !' Anything that came in the mail that had the word 'congratulations' on it was never good. I scanned the letter, my heart beating fast within every word and sentence.

What? I quickly flipped over the envelope, checking the address and name. I stared in horror at my name and address in size 12 font. No. There has to be some sort of mistake. I looked at the envelope one last time before throwing it on the table, not caring anymore. It must be a mistake. I mean, I'm not the only Caitlin Greene in the world.
I grabbed a apple from the table and chewed on it, while my cell phone rings from my kitchen table. I walk over, smiling at the name that appears on the small screen. I hold the apple in my mouth, picking up my phone and flip it open.
LOGAN: Rdy 4 the new killer song? (:
I couldn't text fast enough.
Cat-Lin: YESYESYESYESYESYESYES
LOGAN: I'll pick U up now. That ok?
Cat-Lin: YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES.
LOGAN: Gr8. C U soon.
I can't stop smiling as I go up my stairs two at a time, thinking of what to wear. I was so glad that Erin's little plan hadn't worked out. On the other hand, she's probably really peeved right now and planning my death as we speak. I pushed open my door, while finishing up my apple and throwing it in the trash. What to wear…? As if on cue, my cell phone pinged again. As much as I wanted to see Logan, I wasn't dressed yet ! I crossed my fingers, hoping that Logan wasn't here already. To my relief, Katelyn's name appeared on the screen, a new text message sent.
Kate-Lyn: Betcha' wondering what 2 wear 2 the recording, huh? (:
Cat-Lin: YES ! How did U know?
Kate-Lyn: It's a friend thing (;
I shook my head at the screen, placing it down on my bed before looking back into my closet, stumbling upon what to wear. But just as I placed my phone down, it pinged again.
Kate-Lyn: I hid something under a seat on UR couch. Go find it.
I made a face at the screen. Under a seat on my couch? What could she possibly hide there. Suddenly, another text message.
Kate-Lyn: Hurry ! Logan will B there any minute now !
I shake my head at the cell phone but quickly rushed down the stairs by sliding down the handrail. I jumped on the couch, flipping over the cushions until I felt a large flat box under the last one. I made a face, taking it out and finding a note attached to it, written with Katelyn's neat printing.
I got this made just for you. I know things have been rough so, hope you like this t-shirt. I know Logan will ! -Katelyn
I slowly opened the box, and came to a black t-shirt with big words saying, "". I laughed out loud and quickly ran upstairs, my new favorite shirt in hand.
Cat-Lin: Thx, K ! I lurve it ! Ahahah
Kate-Lyn: Glad U do ! Now get ready for Logan !
I was still grinning when I pulled on a pair of tight gray skinny jeans and slipped the tshirt over my head. Suddenly, a honk outside my house and a silent ping on my cell phone. I glance at my phone as I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs.
LOGAN : I'm here ! Ready 2 go ?
I slipped on a pair of flipflops as I texted back even though I was only a meter away from him.
Cat-Lin: Born ready .
