If you are reading this on January 19, have a happy birthday, sunflowerstar481! I am so glad I don't have school today - I can update my story! Thanks to my friend who helps me with the chapters sometimes (you know who you are). I hope you find the next chapter FABULOUS!
Emma's POV
"Emma! Girls! I have a surprise for you!" my mother calls. Cassidy, Megan, and Becca are over, and we're planning the surprise party.
We run downstairs. "What is it, Mom?" I ask.
She holds up an envelope of plane tickets. "We're going to Wyoming!" she exclaims.
"Sweeeeeet," Cassidy says.
Megan shrieks.
"So, are the others coming this time?" Becca asks. She's excited as well.
"Everyone's families are coming," my mother confirms. "We're doing one last bash before the boys leave for Middlebury and Dartmouth."
"When are we going?" I ask.
"Um…" my mother thinks "July second to July sixteenth."
Our faces fade. "So, we're going to be there on the sixth?" Megan finally says after a moment of silence from us.
"Uh, yes, Megs, we are," my mother replies. "Is there something wrong?"
"Welllllll," Cassidy says. "We were going to throw this party on the sixth…"
"Who for?" My mother is confused. "No one's birthday is coming up."
"You know how the sixth was the first day they were in England?" I say. Mom nods. "Well, we were throwing a party for what happened that day."
"Is it for your brother?" Mom asks. We nod. "Well, of course we could do it in Wyoming! I mean, we're staying at the Parkers', and I'm certain they would be fine with it! What do you need?"
"Food, pop, chairs, guests," Cassidy announces.
"Oh, wait!" Becca exclaims. "We were going to invite the Berkeleys! They aren't coming to Wyoming!"
My mother is grinning from ear to ear. "Actually….they are."
"YES!" Megan and Cassidy shout at the same time, and slap each other a high five. Cassidy looks at my mom, me, and Becca, who are eyeing her with suspicious looks. "I mean, that's cool," she says.
"Riiiiiiiiight," Becca and I chorus.
"Becca, Megs, Cass, I want you to give these envelopes to your families," my mother says, placing one envelope in their hands. Cassidy's says Sloane-Kinkaids, Megan's says Wongs, Gigi, Eduoard, and Sophie ("Sophie's coming, too?" Megan asks. My mother nods. "Cool."), and Becca's says Chadwicks. I eye the last one nastily. That means StewRAT, my now worst enemy, is coming, too.
Great.
He, he, he, Stewart is coming, too! Will they make up? Probably not, but they will eventually, I promise! If you read this author's note, thanks so much! I hope these are helpful to you!
As always,
Alexis
